Perfection

Chewed or smoked, this is one of the best tobaccos anywhere on the planet. Traditional is the way to go. I always keep at least half a pound in the cellar, aging beautifully. Simply the best. This pure Virginia rope will knock your socks off and take your lunch money if you're not careful. The smoke is full and creamy and *heavy*. The flavor is very cigar-like, but it also has the characteristic sweetness and grassiness of fine Virginia leaf. This is one of the best tobaccos you'll ever try. I can't recommend it highly enough....Read More
A Perfect Tobacco?

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Brown Irish X Bulk
No toppings, no complexity, no competing flavors; Just the most perfect smoking experience one could ask for. This is smooth, cool, slightly smoky and delectably sweet. The sweetness is purely natural and contains no hints of anything topping or artificial flavors. The room note is very pleasant, but not the same as aros. It’s by no means disagreeable to those in the area. The natural sweetness shines through with very slight woody, smoky, almost mushroom like notes. The amazing taste remains consistent from the charing light to the end of the bowl. Being a rope it holds moisture very well and one may need to dry it out after cutting it and rubbing it out, but I’ve not had to dry it for more than 15 minutes or so before loading up my bowl. If not allowed a little air time after prep it can be hard to keep lit. If I had only 1 tobacco to smoke for the rest of my life it would be this one and that’s a hard milestone to top. In the 30 years since I took up my hobby this tobacco is so good I find myself looking at my other reviews and having to consider notching them all down a star or so. What I had previously thought as a 5 star now only rates a 4 when compared to this beauty....Read More
Just an incredible tobacco

Just bought some to fill out an order and because I hadn’t tried a rope tobacco yet, and wow, this is an incredible smoke. I was surprised at all the flavors and subtlety, and especially the room note when compared to the tin note. This one’s going into the regular rotation
Very good

Old fashioned simplicity

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Brown Irish X Bulk
I just received a half pound of this and I don't regret the purchase. It's a simple,peppery,strong in nicotine old fashioned natural tobacco. I just smoked a bowl hot and still enjoyed it.I also think that it has a great room note. Not many people mentioned that in the reviews,but I found it to be nice....Read More
