About This Pipe Tobacco

Founded in Kendal, Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. has fashioned quality pipe tobacco since 1887, utilizing processes and techniques that date to 1792. The Cumbria-based company prioritizes natural tobacco flavor, and in many of their mixtures, Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. maintains the standards enforced by the United Kingdom's strict purity laws of the 19th and 20th centuries — such laws dictating how much and what type of flavorings could be added to pipe tobacco and ensuring that sub-quality leaf wasn't hidden under the veil of exorbitant toppings.

A full-bodied blend of dark-fired leaf, Dark Flake Aromatic features deep, earthy notes complemented by a subtle added aroma.

This says it is flavored with tonquin bean, licorice, and maple. I taste some other flavors but it could be the dark fired, this is strong tobacco and I love it. I like to walk on the wild side so I purchased 500g, no regrets (this will stay in my rotation as long as it’s available)
2025 December drop batch is proper

GH has been experiencing a quality downfall ever since 2023. Dark flake aro was negatively affected by it too. 2023 and 2024 batches were terrible - broken or loosely pressed flake, mild flavour, good burn. However, this year’s batch turned out right - well pressed flakes, full earthy flavour, bad burning characteristics requiring multiple relights. Now that’s a flake I fell in love with. So if you wanna buy some, but hesitate because of a lottery like experience GH is putting us through then rest assured this flake that is currently on sale (February 3rd, 2026) is of good proper quality.
PS. This year’s Bosun plug was terrible, Coniston was below average. My condolences to those who chose to buy them and wasted their money

This is what they smoke in Lakeland heaven. If you like lakelands, this is one of the best things you will ever put in your pipe. One word of advice: dedicate a pipe to this flake. The lakeland essence is strong with this one, and it will ghost. But when you enjoy lakelands, that's a plus.
Delicious, but hard to deal with.

I love Gawith Hoggarth blends. Coniston Cut Plug and 1792 flake are both two of my forever blends. I thought the dark flake aromatic would fall somewhere between the two. It's flavorful and strong, but that's where the similarities end.

It bites like a pit bull with a hemorrhoid. It's wetter tha
n a Mississippi summer.
It's higher maintenance than a trust fund chick on holiday. In India.

I can see the appeal the flavor has. It's delicious. But I'm no masochist. I'll stick with the other options that don't leave my tongue feeling like a dominatrix just stepped on my tongue in stilettos.

Finding I’m smoking this and nothing else. Smooth, creamy, cool, no bite, just hard to beat. Does need to be dried out, depending on your humidity. Wife accepts the light perfume room note. Tried all the Lakelands, don’t mind the “old lady” notes. But DFA is most similar to 1792, which I also hold high. Waiting for more…...Read More
