Gawith Hoggarth & Co.: Broken Scotch Cake 50g Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-069-0005

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.

Broken Scotch Cake is a straightforward, all-day smoke for aficionados of straight Virginia pipe tobaccos. Combining both sun-cured and flue-cured leaf, Gawith, Hoggarth & Co.'s Broken Scotch Cake is pressed and then tumbled into a coarse cut, presenting a flavor profile that showcases the natural sweetness of Virginia tobaccos.

Nothing exciting...

Not to be confused with Scotch Flake under any circumstances, this is an OK blend remarkable only in its utter blandness. If it had a job, it'd be a movie extra.
Smoke your cake and eat it too!?

Best Straight Virginia Ive Had

As far as straight Virginia blends go I think this is the best out there. Very wet from the tin and will require plenty of drying but what a fabulous smoke. So smooth, yum.

I found this to be a particularly pleasant smoke. This tobacco burns nicely, with no bite. I found the flavor light and the room note delightful. The taste was sweet, but not domineering like some aromatics can be. The aftertaste is almost non exi... Read More
absolutely soft the tobacco

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Broken Scotch Cake 50g
Well, what can I say, first of all, I note how absolutely soft the tobacco is, perhaps due to the 2.5 years of aging. Humidity almost tobacco is ready to smoke, maybe hold a little before driving into the bowl. The taste is true pure Virginia with it... Read More
Interesting Virginia blend

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Broken Scotch Cake Bulk
The smoke is very smooth, and pleasant but not so different to other flavors from Virginias. However, it is very interesting after some burns. It has some natural sweetness together with grass and citrus aromas. I recommend it for sure, however, it i... Read More

I'm one of the Virginia smokers who really enjoys the slow, mild sweetness of naturalVirginias. I could smoke this all day if it weren't for the flue-cured Virginia aspect of this Virginia tobacco. I do like the combination of the sun-cured Virginia ... Read More

I have noticed, both here and on tobacco reviews.com, that there is a small group of people who have been unimpressed by this offering by GH. I honestly am shocked that this would be so overlooked as this is one of my personal favorites from GH. I am... Read More

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Broken Scotch Cake Bulk
Tasty, Decent Nic Hit and mild enough to smoke all day and night. Blended with some Perique for a more Robust Flavor and Nic Hit. Will be back for more of this blend. Nice aroma and not an overbearing after taste due to the mild strength of tobacco... Read More

Wonderful. Out of a clay pipe,this tobacco exhibits some of the loveliest mild tobacco flavors. Simply superb. Dry it down all the way.

The texture and color of this blend is very appealing to the eye - like long threads of a spongy bark. The smell is also nice. Sadly, it burns a little too sharp on its own. That said, it does mellows with age. A year in solitary confinement produced... Read More

This to me , was somewhat plain ( maybe it's suppose to be ) but it does have a fragrant taste. I do appreciate the lightness though.
Not for me

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Broken Scotch Cake 50g
It is indeed mild for a Virginia and lacks the dried fruit associated with them. What it does have is a taste of purfume and flowers. Not at all a fan of those tastes. If you are, than perhaps you'll enjoy it. It's mechanics are good and it's packed ... Read More
A mild smoke
March 01, 2015
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Broken Scotch Cake 50g
I thought this would be more of a flake that had been broken into pieces. It is closer to a ribbon cut actually. That said, it is a mild smooth smoke without much of a "bite". This is not unpleasant but is not as strong as my usual pref... Read More
