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.

A new gem!

I love bbq! So the tin note is amazing the smell of good smoked meat! Now for taste it’s unique you don’t get the Smokey taste I’m use to like good Balkin or English blends. The taste is unique for me . Take care because it is very strong I did not get a nic hit and turn green like a I usually do, but it relaxed me then I got dizzy. For me I really did enjoy it....Read More
Strong, charred pepper steak

This was quite a surprise at first taste, something very different than the tangy or sweet blends out there. Right off the light this is very strong charred/burnt meat taste and then tons of pepper spice with a very strong sting if you puff on it too fast or overpack your pipe. I like it, but for me its a rare smoke....Read More

I have all the G&H ropes im currently enjoying the black Irish xxx it's a lot easier to cut into coins being about a inch thick or more in some places. I have smoked it in cobs and straight Billard. Bent Billard and my savinelli 320 seem to be the two winners. I love the flavor it just pours from it only needs about 20 mins to dry for me. It's smokey and sweet like bbq the nic isn't as strong as brown bogie and extra sweet brown bogie. It's definitely a tobacco you sip on and take your time with. It's my favorite next to dark plug block. A few yrs of age it gets a beautiful sugar plume and is even more amazing....Read More

I reach for this when I want something strong. This tobacco is poundable for sure. Unfortunately I can’t tell you if it tastes like a true Irishman. I’d direct you to Jeffrey Dahmer but he’s been deceased since ‘94.
Miscategorized but really good

The strength ratings are higher than they should be in my opinion. My taste is for REALLY strong tobacco with tongue and throat bite that most consider harsh. Given its rating I expected this product to deliver that bite. Not so much. That said, I've learned to use it together with about 20% either Fire or Twist flake mixed in. It has a flavor and room now that's very similar to smoked meat. It takes a bit for it to reach the bite levels I'm after, so it's start is something I just bulldoze through. Once it gets to the beginning of "mid-bowl" it is delivering on all fronts....Read More

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 loved. This is not entirely the case with this but it’s pretty good and has a lot of depth and nicotine punch. It’s not as good as the brown and sprinkle some red Virginia in there and it’s not bad....Read More
Excellent and unique rope

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 of a slower onset, but it can be the effects are quite pungent. I like to blend this with my main staple, the Newminster 403 (the more tobaccos I try the more I have decided the 403 is my favorite, and I often use it as a mixin when blending.) I wouldn't call this an everyday smoke, as the flavor is so different to non-dark fired tobaccos. It doesn't always hit that tobacco flavor spot on its own, if that's what you're craving, but it is a pleasant and unique experience nonetheless....Read More
