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.
All Gawith & Hoggarth twist tobacco varieties are manufactured by the same spinning process using dark-fired wrapper leaves. Black Irish X is predominantly dark-fired leaf with the addition of a small percentage of dark air-cured leaf. Black Twist, because the cooking process removes some of the stronger tar and nicotine elements, provides a mellower smoke than the brown twist.

I don’t see a huge difference between this and Kendal Dark once sliced but the presentation and aging potential are a step up.
Doesn’t blowout your flavor buds but not an all day smoke imo , is full body and rich. If you like Kendal Dark or KY fire cure you will like this. If you have tried Kendal Dark or Birdseye or those blends by G&H and this is in the same family if not the same tobaccos Smoked midday with minimal food and hour beforehand...Read More

I would give it 5 stars but for one thing: it doesn't want to stay lit. If you try smoking this on your morning commute you will either be pulling over every 3 minutes or a certified road hazard. This issue makes it hard to do any real work while smoking. Pity, as I would have made this into a regular daily tobacco otherwise....Read More
