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.

absolutely soft the tobacco
September 07, 2023
By: Vladimir Zeev
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 its natural sweetness. There is no aftertaste....Read More

Interesting Virginia blend
March 23, 2023
By: Hector Eduardo M.
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 is mild and perhaps no so complex.

Broken Scotch Doesn't Need Mending
December 06, 2022

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Broken Scotch Cake 50g
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 with the flue-cured. It works better for me, however, when I blend it with 1 part burley and 2 parts black Cavendish with 5 parts of the broken Scotch flake. This makes it an all afternoon smoke for me. I love the mildness of the Virginia this way. I subtracted .5 from a perfect 5 because of the allergy-arousing itch of the intense flue-dried VA. I really love the natural sweetness of the sun-cured Virginia. I had no bite from the tobacco and no need to dry it before smoking. A great smoke for those who love the straight Virginias....Read More

Great morning smoke

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Broken Scotch Cake 50g
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 something of a Virginia fanatic, and any strait Virginia is likely to satisfy me. If you like strait Virginias too I highly recommend....Read More

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.

Great Stuff All Day Long

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 used.

Mixed Bag
September 03, 2018
By: Casca
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Broken Scotch Cake Bulk
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 a more rounded smoke. Aged or not, Broken Scotch Cake works well as a condiment, adding zest to a dull or overly smoky blend without distorting the taste. As for the room note, it remains the same either way - simply outstanding....Read More
