About This Pipe Tobacco

This Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. dark fired and dark air cured Twist is also known as Happy Bogie. This brown twist is actually a bit stronger than the black twist and is made to slice into coins for smoking, or small plugs for chewing - as done by many sailors.

SPECTACULAR!

I have smoked all the G&H Twist offerings, and am a regular consumer of the Dark Plug. This Brown Bogie Unscented is my favorite though. Pure tobacco goodness. Yes it's strong, and the room note will not win you many non-smoking friends, but if you like the taste and aroma of fine Virginia tobaccos, this stuff is Nirvana. Word of warning: it is tricky to prepare. When I bought my current batch five years ago, I found it impossible to keep it lit, so I put in a G&W tin and stuck it in the back of my tobacco closet. Now that it has aged and dried it is super tasty and much easier to prepare. So if you bought some of this and have found it too difficult to work with, may I suggest that you put it away in a suitable container and forget about it for a while. Then on some chilly autumn day in the future, take it out of storage, prep it, and enjoy a grand smoking experience....Read More

That leathery, room-filling aroma melts my heart every time - that's even before I've cut it up. It takes some practice and lots of patience to prep Brown Bogie yourself and still get a good smoke, but the longevity of the rope over coins and ready-rubbed is remarkable. The Brown Irish X is smoother, but the Bogie has more kick. The smoke tastes like peppery oil and grassy musk, bawdy chalk, soap and tangy citrus as it coats your mouth and explodes through your sinuses, burning like sweet country fire the whole way and making your head spin like mad. It's a proper throat-punch at any rate. So glad to see it back!...Read More

Whether smoked or chewed, Brown Bogie is fit for a king. Sipped carefully, it can be your best friend.
Could be a great conversation starter at parties?

Well, well, well. Rope-style tobacco. Sounds fancy, right? Wrong. Sure, the taste is decent—but maybe I'm just bitter because I foolishly thought this rope nonsense would be easy—slice it, light it, smoke it, right? Ha! Joke's on me. I sliced off cute little pieces, treated it like a precious tobacco plug, and guess what? Still wouldn't stay lit. I'm convinced even Elon Musk's flamethrower wouldn't do the trick. Oh, and pro tip: rub this stuff out in your hands if you enjoy having your palms stained for days. Great conversation starter at parties. Anyway, props to you brave five-star reviewers—you must have patience, determination, and possibly magical fire-starting abilities that I clearly lack. Will I toss it? Nah, can't bring myself to chuck it after shelling out half my paycheck. Instead, I'll lovingly place it out in the yard where my dog does her business—maybe it'll learn something about humility and become smokeable someday. Until then, hard pass for me :)...Read More
