A True Pipe Smoker’s Blend: Bold, Pure, and Unforgettable
November 22, 2024
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Brown Flake Unscented Bulk
As a seasoned pipe smoker, I can confidently say this is pure tobacco executed to perfection—a true blend for pipe smokers, not candy smokers. This medium-bodied flake is a masterpiece, devoid of any heavy toppings or casings. While there’s a distinct floral note present, it’s just a very subtle touch of the Lakeland essence—far from the infamous strength that often divides opinions. I attribute this delicate aroma to the white Malawi Burley used in the blend, likely toasted and paired with dark-fired Burley for a harmonious balance. The blending notes confirm the use of Malawi Burley, reinforcing that the floral undertone is a natural characteristic of the tobacco itself. This is a man’s tobacco—rich, bold, and straightforward. I’ve smoked this in several pipes, and unlike blends with stronger Lakeland toppings, which are notorious for ghosting, this one leaves little to no lingering trace—at most, a subtle presence after about three bowls in a single pipe. A truly remarkable blend for the discerning smoker....Read More
Plain old Darn GOOD!

No nonsense, Virginia and burley. Hits the right spots. No Lakeland essence. Cool, satisfying, it’s not an over N tobacco. Savory, sweet, hay like, and his the right spots.
Very nicely done

This stuff is very good in a cob, wakes you right up first thing in the morning. The strength, nicotine, and flavor are just right. Best GH&C I've tried so far
a good mistake

This flake as always comes wet but 30 minutes dry time and you have an excellent smoke like HH Burley Flake with Gawith flare. I would smoke this all day everyday and be happy if it just came dryer and you didn’t spend 1/4 of you money on water.
Favorite flake

500g box arrived with nice plume. Very delicious, highly enjoyable as an all day smoke for me. The Lakeland essence was undetectable in my box, but I wouldn’t have minded if it was there. This and Kendal flake are my favorite G&H blends. If I had to only smoke one tobacco for the rest of my life, this would be it....Read More
Strange

Maybe I don't understand something, or I'm too sensitive to additives and sauces or to some kinds of tobacco, but this one, despite its popularity, I didn't like.
It is smokable, maybe even satisfying, but not really delicious to smoke: it's too sauced, too simple, kind of toneless, but at the sa
me time biting.
It's not that kind of simplicity which makes some tobaccos your everyday smoke cause there's nothing annoying or something you can get bored with. It is just inexpressive, featureless, boring tobacco.
Maybe I just happen to get some defective piece of bulk.

Lid Went Boom!

I opened a 7 year old jar and the lid blew off upon opening. This turned from very good to off the charts good in 7 years. Sweet bread virginias rounded by the burley. Top shelf smoke!
awesome!

Package note of hay, fermented vegetation and spices. Tobacco is a flake of marbled yellowish brown, dark brown and tan. Moisture content is good. Some pipe smokers will want to dry this a bit. Burns slow with a few extra relights. The strength is medium and nic is medium. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and very consistent, with notes of sweet grass, wood, peaty hay, bread, floral, spices, earthy, semi-sweet nuts, savory, citrus, , spicy, leathery, vinegary fermented vegetation, acidic, a ripe dark tangy fruit background note, and a peppery retro. Virginias are leading with Burley supporting. Dark Fire Cured is supporting minimally. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More
Nothing special

Smells like cigarettes. Taste isn't offensive, but nothing exceptional. Kind of one note. Definitely no Lakeland.
