About This Pipe Tobacco

This is a combination of dark-fired whole leaf Virginias and mid-rib fine cut Kentucky leaf rolled and sliced to make 'bird's eyes'. This fine shag cut was preferred by fisherman and sailors because it was very easy to pack and light.

Just a great smoke
December 22, 2024

I enjoy this tobacco on a level that I can't put into words. I have a top five, and this one has found itself at number two on my list. I love everything about it, from the shag cut to the sweet, smoky flavoring of the tobacco. It is satisfying and tangy throughout. I recommend this to anyone who knows how to keep a proper cadence when smoking a pipe....Read More

Holy Smoke, Indeed

Dark Bird's Eye is divine, perfect, archetypal. All tobacco is technically American but those Brits sure do it well. They do it better than we do over here across the pond in the shallow end. Just a little embarrassing, that we invent tobacco smoking but they take it from us and do it better. They've perfected it. All of my very favorite blends are from England....Read More

great blend
March 03, 2023
By: Robert M.
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Bird's Eye Bulk
I find this blend to be very rich and smooth with great darker flavor and a slight lingering semi sweet taste. Lights well, the thin cut can burn a bit hot if packed too tight. no bite but plenty of nice pepper on the nose toward the end of a bowl. Strong in flavor with a power level near medium. I think this is a good traditional blend worth sampling for its details. Recommend to all Enthusiasts and newcomers with an adventurous spirit looking to experience more from a blend....Read More

very nice!

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Bird's Eye Bulk
Package note of barbeque, wood smoke and musty vegetation. Tobacco is a shag cut of dark brown, brown and a tiny amount of light brown. Moisture content is great. Few pipe smokers will want to dry it a bit. Burns fast with few relights. The strength is strong and nic is medium to strong. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium to full and very consistent, with notes of smoky oak barbecue, very spicy, fermented sour, musty vegetation, dry, herbal, toast, leathery, bitter, nutty, woody, earthy, mild citrus, mildly floral, a mildly sweet and savory background note, and a peppery retro. Kentucky is leading with Virginias supporting. Room note is tolerable to strong, and aftertaste is great....Read More
