About This Pipe Tobacco
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.
Coniston is a blend of dark-fired leaf, softened with some Burley and brightened with a small amount of Virginias. The blend is then finished with a floral essence and then pressed and cut into small blocks.
Customer Reviews
What I particularly appreciate is how well the darker tobacco character is integrated. It retains its personality without becoming harsh or overwhelming.
Interestingly, toward the end of one bowl, I finally detected a very delicate floral hint. It was subtle, almost hidden behind the tobacco, but genuinely pleasant.
The room note is predominantly tobacco smoke rather than the floral fragrance associated with some Lakeland blends.
For me, Coniston demonstrates how dark-fired tobacco can be rich and characterful without being excessively rustic. A distinctive and very enjoyable blend....Read More

It seems to have a slight wallflower topping which becomes much more apparent towards the end of the bowl. I almost thought I tasted traces of violet on and off.
It has a grassy character as it carries on, the floral becomes more pronounced toward the end of the bowl.
Smoother than a lot of the other flakes except at the end.
This is a bit of an anomaly as I can't quite finger the topping. No roses or spices, and reminds me of honey. It is nowhere as heavily topped as most of the other lakeland flakes.
Smokes best in a smaller bowl. This is not a mild smoke.
I would say grasmere is stronger, bosun is about the same, but both of those are much more heavily cased.
I am subtracting a star and a half as the topping towards the end tastes like fermented orange peel, wallflower, beer and honey or licorice and isn't particularly appetizing. It does not taste like tobacco.
The room note is very aromatic and won't garner any complaints.
Smokes a bit wet and needs some drying time. I want to say this tobacco is a little bit odd ultimately but is still good. Has a sweet aftertaste of the topping and something woody.
Try it as it might be your new favorite if you like condor....Read More
