Gawith Hoggarth & Co.: Black Irish X Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 005-001-0005

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

Give any man too much rope...

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Black Irish X Bulk
The Black Irish X was one of my first rope twist tobacco I ever tried. I'd heard about and seen them plenty of times but never wanted to try them for several reasons. First, they had no descernable aroma, nothing friendly anyways. Next, they seemed l... Read More

This is a frustrating tobacco— difficult to light and keep lit even when cut, rubbed out, and desiccated beyond all reason; the first light stings your nostrils like getting water up your nose at the public swimming pool; and then the flavor... whoa.... Read More

It tastes of burnt rubber, charred meat, with a sprinkle of leather boot. The bag note is particular. I enjoy it.

Sure, it taste like a charbroiled Porterhouse steak, but I love them bad boys, too! For everyone who ordered this stuff only to be disgusted by it, SEND them to ME!

I was going to give this a four stars only because you cannot smoke this on a regular basis this is like a fine scotch or whiskey only to be enjoyed every once in awhile. I would also recommend that you have a separate pipe for this as it will ghost ... Read More

Had to look up at first how to cut properly and rub out but after that I was good to go and it smoked perfectly fine and was very delicious

So first impression was what in gods name have I done. Not appealing to look at at all. Looks like a bag of poop to be honest. I cut it into thick coins again confounded by the bazaar texture ( that of a wet cigar). Once broken up and packed I was ag... Read More

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Black Irish X Bulk
Nothing near as good as the brown. Smells like burning plastic and at first tastes like sh&t. Like some G&H blends you need to take some time to connect with the blend, I experienced this with a Lakeland blend and at first hated it, and then found I ... Read More

Black, oily, sweet, and strong. If that sounds good, this is worth a try. It is unique, like what pirates would smoke. I'm sure I'll blend it one day into something tolerable, but for now it is interesting by itself. Edit: I have been using th... Read More

I got this due to negligence on my part, after really enjoying Brown Irish X. This proved to be a happy accident, as I enjoy this one, though not in the same way. The taste of this tobacco is reminiscent of licking one's fingers after eating a piec... Read More

Black twist was the first GH twist tobacco that I smoked, and I've had some in a jar for several months now. Smooth, mellowed dark fired and Indian air cured flavors that in my opinion are much less pronounced than the brown variety. There's an arom... Read More
Nothing But Barbecue

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Black Irish X Bulk
There's an unmistakeable flavor of barbecue here. Nothing like barbecue sauce, not exactly meat or char. I'm not in love with this tobacco, the Brown Bogie rope is much better, but I'm sure there will be times when it'll end up back in my pipe. Quali... Read More

After finishing off a bag of sliced black twist, I knew I had to try the unsliced. I did the same thing that I 've learned to do with other twists; slice off a bit and put it in the coffee grinder (call me lazy). This is the perfect smoke on those ... Read More

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Black Irish X Bulk
If you cut into coins, rub, and let it dry for several hours it will be amazing. Some others get frustrated because they don't let the tobacco dry. It has an aroma like a barbecue and never needs relighting as long as you dry it out. By the way, y... Read More
Excellent and unique rope

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Black Irish X Bulk
This is a unique flavor I've not experienced before. It reminds me of backyard barbecues and fine steak, for some reason. I can't quite place my finger on why. It's great on its own, and its mild flavor belies its less-than-mild potency. It's a bit ... Read More

Package note of pungent salty barbeque, smoky and slightly tart. The 3/4-inch-wide rope is jet black. Tobacco is wet, prep entails a razor or thin sharp knife and cutting thin coins for rubbing out, and drying. Burns is slow with numberous relights. ... Read More
Saturated taste
March 24, 2022
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Black Irish X Bulk
Very rich taste of smoked and bonfire notes. It's nice at the beginning but then it gets boring. It is better to smoke it with other tobacco. And after it for a long time this aroma does not leave the pipe.

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Black Irish X Bulk
All the reviews are accurate. It's a bit hard to light, smells like a dragster's tires in the bag, and carries that over to the smoke along with charred brisket flavor. I'm fairly new to smoking, most cigars alive cigarillo size leave me sick, but th... Read More

Eat well before trying this one the first time. It mixes well with the brown rope. Try preparing it in different ways. It will need some drying time but it is well worth it IMHO.

Perhaps I was a bit let down since I bought it to hold me over until Happy Bogey became available. Still, it very good. It's not as strong or as flavorful but it's still potent and (as stated) has a nice meaty flavor. I prefer the twist since I tr... Read More

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Black Irish X Bulk
The smell of this tobacco is very good straight from the bag. It is VERY moist - so I recommend drying what you want to smoke ahead of time, otherwise you face a challenge of lighting and a possibility of running too hot in the pipe. All that said t... Read More

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Black Irish X Bulk
The taste of the tobacco is rather unique. While it sounds disgusting, there's something about it that honestly smells and tastes like an over-cooked steak. Smokes well, though, and has a good nicotine kick. I prefer the brown, as its scent isn't nea... Read More
