Tasty but sopping wet

My first bowl I sliced the rope as thin as I could with a cigar cutter. Left it to dry about 30 minutes. Tasty but a steamy relight heavy bowl. The piece I got (2oz) was about the size of a medium cigar, Needs a lot more dry time than 30 minutes. A small bowl of 3 very ultra thin slices was not relaxing to smoke, as relights were needed so very much I may update this after leaving some to dry for a day...Read More
Fantastic Chew

This is a pretty good smoke, but really shines as chewing tobacco. I cut the rope into about one inch chunks, put it in a mason jar and pour honey over the top. Once the honey is soaked in, it is a very flavorful and enjoyable chew. Much better than any other tobacco I’ve ever chewed. I’m more of a pipe smoker, but this was so good as a chew I pop one in every now and then and really like it....Read More

I’ve tried most of the Gawith Hoggarth ropes and so far this is my least favorite. I don’t get any flavor when I smoke it and no real smell from the unburnt tobacco either. I was excited for this one since it was flavored with aniseed, but that seems like an afterthought in this. It has a very slight sweetness that I get from a retrohale but other than that it’s just plain. I also have to do a lot of relights with it which is never fun....Read More
Ok smoke, great chew

Strangely I don't get any licorice in the pipe, or even the smell of it from the twists. To me it smells like a straight, damp dark-fired tobacco. However in teh mouth I do get licorice... it's not a licorice/anise like an American sweet plug (cannonball, etc) but dry and smoky which is unique and very good. The leaf is sturdy to chew and flavor lasts a long time. For smoking I also prefer the tight twists like S Gawith puts out - these GH twists are loose and unwind easily which make it more fussy to cut. The quality of the individual leaves is good though, I may try using one as a cigar wrapper. A very expensive cigar wrapper......Read More
This stuff is amazing.

I normally buy G&H twists for chewing, since they typically don't taste the way they are scented when you smoke them. This one, however, burns EXACTLY the same way it smells. If you're a fan of those Avanti cigars, but would prefer a base flavor of dark VA instead Dark Fired Kentucky, get this. I plan to buy as much as I'm able as often as I can....Read More
