A Lakeland Classic
August 25, 2018
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Bosun Cut Plug Bulk
One of G&H's oldest blends is a true classic. It is a very complex and well balanced blend, never hot or harsh. There is no bite in this blend at all with very little aftertaste. A very nice sweet taste in this blend sits well with me. Nic-Hit is a f... Read More
ull medium. I would say It's a medium to full smoke with more flavor than Kendal flake, Rum flake or Louisiana flake. Fairly slow burning and stays lit well. If you like Lakelands you will love this one for sure! And it does have a tin note of old lady perfume. Update 7/10/19 Kaz W. is right on point with eggnog as a very good beverage pairing. It is my favorite blend! I have over 7Lb. in my cellar now, it's a true old world classic. Read Less
Complex and flavorful
October 03, 2017
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Bosun Cut Plug Bulk
I'm a fan of the Lakeland essence, and a fan of clove. The two complement each other quite well. The clove is subtle here, and I find it mostly in the aftertaste, almost as if I had recently sucked on a dried clove.
On the whole this is a spicy, c... Read More

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Bosun Cut Plug Bulk
This is a top notch, full flavored tobacco indicative of what G&H regularly produces. The cut plug is more like a broken flake to me and it rubs out easily enough. This has a nice Anise topping and it has the typical
Lakeland toppings as well, s... Read More
o anyone with an aversion to either of those may want to steer around it, I find it downright tasty though. This tobacco is strong too, so I recommend smoking it with some food in your belly. This makes for a perfect after dinner smoke for me, so I enjoy smoking it as a regular part of my rotation. Read Less
It's now my go-to tobacco

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Bosun Cut Plug Bulk
I smoked "Three Nuns" for 25 years, but it became difficult to find and eventually disappeared. I turned to St. Bruno and loved it — until it too disappeared. I found Bosun Cut Plug the best alternative. It's strong (the way I like it), doe... Read More

The drier the better
October 11, 2022
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Bosun Cut Plug Bulk
Let this age out until it nearly dries out. It’s a fine line but WOW, is this ever good. You still get a little of the Lakeland flavor, and the tobacco is soft, mellow and will really surprise you with how much flavor you’ll really get.
No and no.

I tried it to see if I could get behind Lakelands, but it smelled like an air freshener and the tin note made me sneeze. Aftershave, perfume, take your pick and tasted like ash. I was surprised for how much it smelled it had no flavour at all.
Bosun Bliss!

This is GOOD stuff. I just happen to prefer the darker and sweeter Coniston Cut Plug a little better. Still, G & Hogwarts sure know what they are doing with these Lakeland flavored cut plugs!
Antiques and rain
February 05, 2023
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Bosun Cut Plug Bulk
Having previously underestimated Conniston, I smoked this in the smallest clay bowl I have. I didn't really get much clove; I was expecting something like a clove cigarette, and it's not at all like that. It took a while before I got ant hint of an... Read More
ything but tobacco. At about half the bowl the floral perfume note came out, subtly, but still primarily tobacco. Towards the end I got hints of what I associate with the smell of antique furniture. Not unpleasant, but something I don't associate with anything I'd put in my mouth. Overall a nice rainy day smoke. I prefer Conniston but this is nice. Read Less
Rich Virginias, Floral & Clove-y
November 27, 2022
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Bosun Cut Plug Bulk
This is a delicious mixture. Comes wet and in need of some extra rubbing out to pack well, in my opinion... but it rewards you with a dark, sweet, mild smoke with enough strength and flavor to take you somewhere special. The Lakeland essence on thi... Read More
s one represents one of the best, the warm spicey clove and subtle floral background tastes highlight and contrast the dark smokey virginias and bring out a spiced sweetness that is just magical.
My favorite, Grasmere Flake is more Floral, less spice, sweeter and lighter... but this blend is something that could be smoked all day with no regrets, unlike it's stronger and smokier relatives. The cut plug is superior to the full plug in every way. The flavors are stronger here, and the delivery is so much easier.
If you want to taste a REAL traditional English Lakeland, but haven't before... try this one BEFORE you go for Ennerdale Flake. Read Less
awesome!

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Bosun Cut Plug Bulk
Package note is slightly sweet, grassy and Lakeland. Rubs out fairly easy. Tobacco is slightly sticky but not wet, no drying needed. Burns slow rubbed out, even slower when cubed, requires relights. The strength is medium to strong, nic is medium. La... Read More
keland flavoring is consistent throughout. Taste of sweet grass, Lakeland and cigar toward the end. Room note is loud but not offensive and after taste is good. Read Less
Perfection!

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Bosun Cut Plug Bulk
Bosun’s cut plug handles like all top notch VA plug slices, sweet, malty, maple. Combined with the dark fire VA you have a smoky malty Lakeland powerhouse with plenty of vitamin N.
Nice and strong.

Great Lakelands to smome between Brown flake flavoured and dark flake flavoured.
Big-Time Lakeland
November 09, 2021
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Bosun Cut Plug Bulk
For the Lakeland lover. Clove mixes with traditional floral/perfume essence. Packs a bit of a punch, a great after dinner or late night smoke. Will linger in a pipe, distinct and enjoyable aftertaste.
This tobacco had grown on me.

This at first was one of my least favorites at first but I craved it and it became one I actually appreciate.
Delightful & Full Bodied Smoke
October 09, 2016
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Bosun Cut Plug Bulk
The cut and color is reminiscent of many other G&H offerings, especially Bob's Chocolate. I loved the moisture content right away. Rubs apart easily and fills your chamber with little effort.
The flavor is indeed full of spice without being too s... Read More
weet. I was a kretek smoker for many years so I know clove..and this is the best clove flavor I've ever gotten from a pipe smoker. I also detect allspice, nutmeg, and maybe a tiny pinch of anise.
I'll be ordering more as I think it makes a terrific holiday smoke. Read Less
unscented??
February 15, 2015
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Bosun Cut Plug Bulk
I didn't get any clove at all, I love clove in my ham, and I ordered a trial ounce thinking it would be something unique. All I can say is if this is unscented, I don't even want to be in the same building with the scented stuff. They say cobs don't... Read More
ghost but I'll tell you what a day later I put my favorite blend in that corn cob and I could smell that stuff. Read Less
