This was my go-to after dinner smoke until I tried a puff of Dark Flake Aromatic. However, DF Aro nudged it out.
I held back my review of this Coniston until I had an adequate appraisal of Dark Flake Aromatic. It is still very very a tasty, full-bodied & satisfying smoke, with a bit more nuance t
han DF Aro - 4.5/5 for me!...Read More

Upon first light I tasted something extremely sweet. After the charring light I tasted the Lakeland profiles which lasted throughout most of the bowl until the last third. From there on out it was more of the traditional tobacco taste that I love. This tobacco isn't quite for me and I ordered it just to see what the Lakeland buzz was about. I figured that I don't care for it but regardless, this is an excellent tobacco and I can understand how people would enjoy it based on the components. If you like Lakelands, give this a try. If you haven't tried them yet, then give this a go. The florals weren't super strong but present enough to let you know they are there....Read More

Very strong, very cool burning, bursting with favor. The lakeland essence is not overpowering. Coniston is a good place to start if you want to try lakelands. It's a happy medium between lakeland and unscented. Enjoy on a full stomach or you'll turn green. Keep some juice or pop handy, anything with a bit of sugar. Smoke slowly and carefully. My only real gripe is that the flakes do not burn very easily. They tend to keep their shape in the bowl, even if you rub them out before packing. This makes it hard to keep lit, with the constant tamping, poking, repacking, relighting, etc. Minus half a star. However, I admit this is at least in part due to user error. Flakes have never been my forte....Read More
Supreme British tobacco

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Coniston Cut Plug Bulk
Coniston Cut Plug is a very stout British tobacco. This is a tobacco that you want to savor and just lightly puff. Let the pipe smolder and relax and take your time. It doesn't bite nor get bitter, but it has a high nicotine content and you want to enjoy it, not get sick or the ''Hibbie Jeebbies''. It's smooth as butter but the taste is full. I like to use one of my Savinelli's with a 6mm charcoal filter. I give this about 45 minutes dry time and rub it out very well. Pack the pipe a little tight, get it going and let it smolder....Read More

I'm not much of a aromatic smoker, but when it comes to G&H I can't get enough. Especially Coniston Cut Plug and Bosun is right behind it. It is wonderful to smoke this time of the year because the blend holds up very well in the wind. Coniston ages beautifuly without loosing the Lakeland essence. I have a pipe dedicated just to this blend and I love smoking other blends though it because of the flavor the ghost imparts. I would like to see other companies try to create their own Lakeland....Read More
Very good

I don't detect the typical Lakeland essence in this one, might just be the batch I got. It's a very enjoyable and stout blend with a nice floral sweetness
Man enough for this?

First of all: I am not a weenie. Not a wuss. I was an adult before there was an internet. I do my own oil changes and brake jobs. That being said, I first tried this in the smallest cob I had, a MM Huck Finn, about 3 quarters full. Mistake. OMG. Made me question my manhood. Several half-bowls later over a few weeks I sealed the jar and hid it. Fantastic tasting stuff, but I like to spend 45 minutes to an hour with a pipe, and I just can't do that with this stuff.
Part of any job is having the right tools. I ordered a Dutch Gouda/Caribbean Pirate clay pipe, 7" length with a thimble-sized bowl. Gave up trying to keep it lit, just took tiny sips and relit when needed. Took around 35 minutes to finish the bowl and had to sit down for the last 10. Think I've figured out how to smoke this stuff. Taste is so good it makes me want to rush it, and it requires more respect than that. So again, not a weenie, willing to fight anyone who says otherwise- just let me recover from this last bowl first.

This blend has changed
September 18, 2023
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Coniston Cut Plug Bulk
Unfortunately this stuff has changed, flavouring is the same but is applied in lesser quantities. The real gamechanger here is the change of Dark Fired leaf. It used to be very bold, earthy, leathery spicy. Now DFK are much more mellow mild, there's some leather and chocolate there. It really is quite similar to the new version of SG 1792 flake. Coniston used to be a 5 star smoke, now I'm dropping it to 3.5 because it lost it's initial appeal, but it's still quality tobacco and someone will surely love it as it is. I can't really blame G&H for making changes to the blend because the demand for their tobaccos has skyrocketed. Update - I kept returining to it, hoping it would grow on me but it became completely bland after few months of cellaring. 2 stars. GH please return to your old ways!...Read More

Package note of lakeland, tangy fruit, and spices. Tobacco is a broken flake of reddish dark brown. Moisture content is great, pieces rub out with a little effort. Burns slow with a few extra relights. The strength is medium to strong and nic is medium to strong. Flavoring is mild to medium, with notes of Floral Essences and Other/Misc. I detected tonquin/lakeland, and there was definitely an added sweet. Both dropped to the background with in the first 1/4, with the sweet hanging out a little longer than the tonquin/lakeland. Taste is medium to full and mostly consistent, with notes of tonquin/lakeland, spices, mildly smoky, wood, sugar, floral, tangy dark fruit, peaty vegetation, cocoa, molasses, savory, bread, orange peel/zest, earth, slight spicy, a sweet nutty and grassy background note, and a very peppery retro. Virginia is leading with Dark Fired and Burley supporting. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More
