A dark and delicious dream
November 18, 2017
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Bird's Eye Bulk
I've been making an effort to try all GH bulk blends, especially the strong ones, because they are just such amazing tobaccos in general. What I've found, generally speaking, is that while sharing many components and similarities they are all uniq... Read More
ue and singular blends to be enjoyed in their own way. Dark Birdseye might be the new crown jewel of my collection. Full, rich, deep, sweet, smoky, and spicy flavors of dark fired Virginia and Kentucky that's just burst onto your palate and give lasting flavor. Even after putting it aside for a few hours or a day it doesn't overpower. Strong enough to satisfy, smooth enough to smoke multiple times per day, and with enough dark virginia sweetness to keep bringing me back, I'm really enjoying dark Birdseye right now. When I put it down and come back I notice a very rich and delicious cigar aroma from the smoke that is just heavenly. As I near the bottom of the bowl the flavors deepen and the smoke strengthens, but since it isn't a super strong blend I simply enjoy the transformation. My batch came with the perfect moisture content to be packed and smoked right away. I tend to smoke this one in a meer or cob, and I pack it tight and filled to the brim. Rarely requires even a single relight based on my experience so far, and is one of the easiest blends to smoke that I've yet to put in my pipe. Leaves very little moisture in the bowl. Contrary to some of the other reviews, I don't view dark Birdseye as a top strength blend in the same league as brown twist or Kendall Kentucky. Yes it is on the stronger side but should be manageable to all but the most sensitive of smokers when it comes to nicotine, especially when smoked at a leisurely pace. You can always pack a smaller bowl if you disagree, but whether you like a large bowl or small I highly recommend giving this fine blend a try. Read Less

Stout and made to keep the smoker full of nicotine and alert whilst mending the nets. Try as you might to smoke it slow to reach that deep flavor, the harshness whalops you over the head. While you may need this for the balls to four, I’ll pass.

曾經試過把kendal dark和kendal Kentucky 50/50混合，味道類似DBE但是太強烈，DBE比較醇厚甘甜，我想DBE的V草大概跟kendal dark不太一樣吧？可惜的是DBE常缺貨，買不到就只好用kendal系列代替。

any of their other blends, but upon that char light and the ensuing two puffs, I immediately what all of the DBE talk was about. I also knew I was puffing quite a stout blend, as are Gawith Hoggarth’s Brown Twist and Brown Bogie and Samuel Gawith’s Brown Number Four. The nic-hit sure comes early with this one. While not the strongest blend out there, suffice it to say that DBE certainly has your nicotine needs covered. I quickly learned that if one puffs too fast, the flavor levels off and loses some of its fullness. Puff slowly to appreciate this one for what it is: a strong BurVa shag blend that tastes not like cocoa or coffee but natural fine pipe tobacco with that unmistakable brown sugar-like Gawith Hoggarth topping. 5.0 stars.

非常好填装，随意塞进斗钵即可，燃烧也很好。新草口感很刺激，入口即顶喉，非常过瘾。用小斗装个1，2g草，来个30分钟就可以满足你的尼古丁需求。注意不要装过多，抽太久，容易醉烟。
陈化两年后再抽，刺激感少了很多，辣味几乎没有了，变得甘甜且醇厚。真是一款好草，难怪价高。

While many others comment about how strong this tobacco is, it's important to note that if you're a slow or tame puffer, this tobacco will be a real treat. There is a difference between being strong and being rich in flavour. I've always found the so... Read More
-called "strong" tobaccos can be abused if you puff too quickly. Control yourself. Relax. Light a fire, put your feet up and read about your favourite hobby. I don't inhale, and the pipe I used for this had a small chamber diameter. I don't want to be buzzed or light-headed during my pipesmoking, and never am. It's not an issue of tolerance, but I just like to enjoy the tobacco.
The pouch note is like chocolate and plum, and like one of other reviews mentioned; vinegar. Yes I got the same.
Being shag cut it stayed lit easily. It is moist when it arrived and I dried it out for about an hour.
The taste is like my title description; very rich and smooth. I like virginias, but this put a deeper emphasis on flavour, likely the result of the Kentucky addition. It's very complex, and you'll likely be making sense of it the whole time. I would highly recommend it! Read Less

r breaking-in new pipes without the worry of scorching around the draft-hole. In a well broken pipe, it is a hassle-free pleasure. I'm not very good at being able to describe flavor profiles. But, I know what I like. It is not as complex as Mac Baren Dark Twist, which I love, but it hits some of the same dark fired flavor receptors for me. And, like MB Dark Twist, it has a nice bit of sweetness to accompany the deep flavor of the dark fired Kentucky. But, unlike MBDT, it does not require a learning curve. Although, it is not the same distinct sweet flavor that I love that the Mac Baren line offers. It is delicious. It is a distinct GH&C flavor which makes it stand head and shoulders above others in its class. Finally, in Nic content it is perfect for me. Which I can only describe as such - one bowl will not give me hiccups. But, two bowls, back-to-back might. I should say that I am one of those who actually does smoke my pipe to get nicotine. And, I smoke as many bowls a day as I can fit, probably around 8 to 10 bowls a day. I would actually like to know how many bowls I smoke per day. But, I can never remember to count. This is a consistent and superior quality tobacco. And, it is one of which I strive to maintain a healthy supply. Even still, I'm afraid I cannot comment as to how it ages. It has the hallmarks to be a good ageing tobacco. I can simply never keep it around long enough. Read Less

surely find this blend essential to their rotation. This blend has character, and depth, it's truly complex. I detect some natural floral notes (not to be confused with Lakeland essence) in the top and a heavy, bold VA flavor which almost tastes "roasted" in the base. This was made with an experienced pipe smoker in mind and has become an everyday smoke for me. I can't recommend this one enough. Absolutely essential! Read Less

stry is slowly being choked out by all the agendas in our world... I've stumbled upon a gem. 2) not to be triffed with on the nicotine levels. I smoked this in THE smallest bowl I have and only got 3/4 through before I had to put it down. I knew 1 more puff and my head was gonna start spinning. It's one to be respected. Granted I can handle moderate(not heavy) levels of nicotine at this point. So, more experienced smokers may handle it better. And some may consider this a detractor. But, for me the quality of this tabac is so so worth it. HIGHLY recommended. Gentle slow smokes for anyone with this. Read Less

Along with S&G #4 Twist this has the most nicotine of any tobacco I've smoked. Great amount of smoke and a strong but not overpowering virginia flavour makes this one of my top smokes!!! If you don't like nicotine or virginia tobaccos this isn't ... Read More

I bought a factory bag so labeled about 12 years ago and was quite happy with the tobacco. It was a shag cut similar to that of GH&C's Kendal Kentucky. The tobacco was a little darker than the Kentucky and the "bird's eye" were well re... Read More
presented. I bought another GH&C factory pack 2 or so years ago. This tobacco was of a ribbon cut with no bird's eye to be found. The original was excellent. The second bag seemed a good strong Gawith/Hogarth I couldn't identify--but I can't imagine it's the same. Go figure. Read Less

Constantine and Kevin P. said it all. I like strong tobaccos and this has everything for me. Very rich. Occasionally, to slow down the burn rate some, I mix in a little Black or Brown Twist Sliced. Nicotine, anyone?

Definitely a new favorite and will become part of my rotation. Nice and strong. The fine shag cut definitely makes it easy to pack and light. But a drawback is it dries out fast. This stuff too dry, watch out!

I've been smoking only two tobaccos now for years after having worked my way thru many others. Dark Birds Eye has always been one of my two favorites. It's just a good strong Virginia that satisfies. I primarily used it to top off a half bowl of P... Read More
S Luxury Navy Flake to add a little punch to my favorite VAPER. Before bed I would smoke a bowl of DBE because it was a good strong quick bowl that burns very fast because of the fine shag cut. BUT..... to my pleasant surprise my last order of DBE was a wider shag cut that slowed and cooled the burn time and now you can enjoy this stuff by itself. If you are looking for a good strong Virginia that burns perfectly and never bites, I think you'd like this one. . Read Less
