Gawith Hoggarth & Co.: Dark Flake Aromatic Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 005-001-0015

A very strong, but very cool smoke is the result of combining in equal proportions only Malawi Dark Fired Leaf and Indian dark air-cured leaf. After maturing through processing and stoving, Gawith Hoggarth applies the traditional British flavors of licorice, maple and tonquin bean.

A very blissful robust and potent blend that pairs well with cappuccino

I am glad I found this blend later in my pipe smoking journey. It is not for the ametuer aficionado. Nicotine punch kicks like a mule and its moisture level makes it a bit harder to start. I've noticed comments on tongue bite and would recommend a large bowl with a 9mm balsa wood, meerschaum or other moisture wicking pipe to fully enjoy. If you have the experience to enjoy a blend like this you will be rewarded with one of the finest Dark Flakes you've ever experienced. G&H do it different and they certainly have won me over. Enjoy this on a porch in a well ventilated area with a cup of cappuccino or coffee with a bit of chicory....Read More

Update: Has become number One
January 16, 2025

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Aromatic Bulk
Finding I’m smoking this and nothing else. Smooth, creamy, cool, no bite, just hard to beat. Does need to be dried out, depending on your humidity. Wife accepts the light perfume room note. Tried all the Lakelands, don’t mind the “old lady” notes. But DFA is most similar to 1792, which I also hold high. Waiting for more…...Read More

Delicious, but hard to deal with.

I love Gawith Hoggarth blends. Coniston Cut Plug and 1792 flake are both two of my forever blends. I thought the dark flake aromatic would fall somewhere between the two. It's flavorful and strong, but that's where the similarities end. It bites like a pit bull with a hemorrhoid. It's wetter than a Mississippi summer. It's higher maintenance than a trust fund chick on holiday. In India. I can see the appeal the flavor has. It's delicious. But I'm no masochist. I'll stick with the other options that don't leave my tongue feeling like a dominatrix just stepped on my tongue in stilettos....Read More

Potent and delicious

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Aromatic Bulk
This is exactly what I have been searching for. Im a year into my pipe smoking journey and hitherto fell in love with Macbarren OFK. But I needed stronger. So i found Gawith Co. Fell in love with the brown and black twists and decided to take a chance with an aeromatic. I did not expect the end of the line to come so quickly. This is my go-to every day any time of day tobacco. Its sweet, rich, kicks like a mule all ushered in on a smoothe, cool smoke. I let it dry for several hours, its only draw back but im learning that prep is part of the charm....Read More

Favorite Flake Cool Smoke

This smokes so cool and stays lit easily. The taste is phenomenal and a large bowl takes a good hour to smoke. So relaxing.

Beats out Coniston for me.
November 03, 2024
By: Black Bob Craufurd
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Aromatic Bulk
This has all the qualities Coniston has, but with a greater degree of boldness. Perhaps it's more straight forward & may lack some of the nuance that which Coniston brings, but for me; it thoroughly satisfies. Rich & robust all the way home. The topping is sublime & melds tastfully from light to finish! 5/5...Read More

Not good!
May 11, 2024
By: Ponytail Piper
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Aromatic Bulk
After attempting to smoke 2-3 bowls of this tobacco over a two year period while cellaring this tobacco, I find it doesn't get better with age. I find it to be extremely bitter/burning cardboard taste that also bites aggressively 😬! I hope others have better luck with it than I did!

Gawith Hoggarth & Co Dark Flake Aromatic
January 18, 2024
By: Brian Boru
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Aromatic Bulk
One of my all-time favorite pipe tobaccos. I can't afford to smoke G,H Brown Twist Sliced as it has gotten crazy expensive. I put this blend right up there with Coniston Cut Plug. Both blends that I can smoke morning, noon and night. But you better put your big-boy pants on with the Dark Flake Aro, this one can kick....Read More
