Love it or hate it!
February 10, 2013
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Aromatic Bulk
I love this stuff because it is very flavorful and has a pleasing room note. If you don't like tonquin bean or licorice, pass on it. Being flavorful I find that others either love it or hate it. For me I like the fullness of its flavor.

如果你喜欢1792,你应该也会喜欢这款暗强切片,里面有熏草豆调制,劲道不相上下
Licorice for adults
December 14, 2016
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Aromatic Bulk
This resumes the trinity for the advanced smoker, strength, flavour and nicotine power.
For me this is hands up the best licorice smoke there is, although this is major league aromatics, a beginner may easily be knocked out by the strenth or the nic ... Read More
hit. In some way this flake resembles both in taste and power to the legendary 1792 from samuel gawith, maybe this is a milder version but still powerful.
This is a smoke to dedicate your leisure time, it is intense and seducing, with a strong character from start to finish. Virginias take the prevalent note yet there is a generous ammount of burley noticeable from the first puff. The lakeland character is less floral here, decidedly more into licorice with a sweet note from the virginias circumvented by burley nuttiness.
The smoke grows and acquires intensity as it proceeds, turning grassy flavours into licorice notes and fragrant burley retrohale, just lovely.
Keep tight to your chair and dont forget to have it as an aftermeal for a banquet, it will be a perfect match. Read Less
Excellent Flake
June 25, 2018
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Aromatic Bulk
Strong in vitamin N, a rich tobacco flavor just as you’d expect from a GH flake. The Lakeland essence I sent overpowering. There is a slight floral note, which I would love more of. Deep and tasty blend. The balance of essence and natural tobacco fla... Read More
vors is excellent. When I’m out of Coniston Cut Plug, Dark Flake takes over on my daily tobacco rotation. It stinks that Dunhill and McClelland are out of the tobacco business, but if G&H or SG every stop making their wonderful blends, then that would be a real tragedy. Read Less
Nice Surprise

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Aromatic Bulk
Bought this in search of a higher nicotine blend for another upcoming quit cigarettes attempt. 🤣. First thought was ... Licorice ... really.. and a bean.. I was glad I tried it. It's actually verrry nice. Like others have said. Slight floral, you c... Read More
an taste the Licorice, but it's light, and both the those flavors blend great with the overall dark tobacco flavor. It is without a doubt the best tasting dark fired blend I have had to date, and i have tried several including G&H. Very easy on the tongue, hard to keep lit though... I hate that part. I am typing this while I am waiting for it to dry, while this time breaking it up very fine. I hope that helps it stay lit better. My pallet likes both Richly sweet Aros like Lanes BCA and strong tobacco flavors G&H Best brown flake, and cooniston plug that has been extremely aged as example of many. If I can get this to stay lit it will stay as a steady in my rotation. Wonderful change of pace, and a true goto when you want a flavorful true tobacco flavor. Read Less
劲大 过瘾 草质很好
April 21, 2021
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Aromatic Bulk
初燃有股花香,随着时间的推移劲道会越来越大,香味也逐渐消失了,取而代之的是一种梅干菜的发酵味道。一斗烟最好保持在一小时以内,否则容易醉烟。烟质很好,斗温很低。
One of my favorite Lakeland
January 19, 2021
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Aromatic Bulk
A wonderful strong Lakeland style flake of superior quality. Along with the flavors mentioned ( tonquin, maple, and licorice), of which are background notes, the main flavor is I believe bergamot (same flavoring used in Earl Gray tea). I find the sce... Read More
nt dominates in a small bowl, in a large bowl the tobacco dominates. Your choice, I like both but find large bowls smoother tasting, if you can handle the extra nicotine. Also this smokes very good moist, just rubbed out and packed light, no bite. Dry I find it bites! Don't know why. This seems to be a common experience for me and G&H tobaccos. Read Less

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Aromatic Bulk
Well, I was blown away by this blend. It's really confusing as to what this is actually topped with because it seems there are many different versions of Dark Flake. This one, the one that is available in the States through http://www.smokingpipes.co... Read More
m definitely has some floral essence added but the major player is bergamot. Think Earl Grey tea, in fact, Earl Grey tea makes a perfect pairing while smoking this one. Very strong nicotine but always smokes soft and cool, no harsh notes to speak of. If you're like me and crave a good stout smoke, put this at the top of your "to try" list as it is truly a delight. Most people won't find this to be any every day smoke but it's coming close to being just that for me. I do prefer this more in the winter months. Read Less
Stout and Sweet!
November 05, 2022
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Aromatic Bulk
This is one of those rare aromatics where the casing and tobaccos are both equally present and equally strong. The dark fired Malawi is a smoky delight, and the tonquin and licorice toppings are flavorful and indulgent. This blend is finicky, thoug... Read More
h; I recommend rubbing it out very finely and giving ample drying time for the best results. Great blend for someone who wants stout tobacco flavor and a lot of sweetness to go with it. Read Less
Tonquin bean flavouring

Is it just me or this is close to SG 1792 flake in flavour? Definitely a stronger casing but very pleasant. 5 stars

Package note of licorice, herbal grasses and mild barbeque. Tobacco is a flake of marbled dark brown and brown with tan specks. Moisture content is ok, most will want to dry it a bit. Burns slow with a few extra relights. The strength is strong and n... Read More
ic is medium to strong. Flavoring is medium to strong, with notes of Licorice, Maple and Tonquin. Maple was the first to wain and disappear somewhat quickly. The Licorice was strong in the beginning but dropped the background in the 1st 1/3. The Tonquin Bean was present the whole time and never seemed to diminish. It wasn't as pronounced in the beginning until the other flavors died down a bit. Taste is full and mostly consistent, with notes of licorice, floral, maple, salty like vegetation, spicy, leather, dry bitter wood, spices, fermented tart/sourness, orange peel/zest, cocoa, cigar, tangy sweet citrus, toast, a Tonquin background note, and a peppery retro. Burley is leading with Virginias and Flavoring supporting. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is great. Read Less
Incredibly strong

So, if you smoke it pure, you probably reached the point when you should be institutionalized. Otherwise, pleasant taste and aroma. Just treat it with due respect
Dark and smokey

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Aromatic Bulk
Definitely not a tobacco for beginners. As a beginner myself i didn't getbany of the notes mentioned in the description and reviews. No Licorice. No tonquin. No maple.
What i did get was the pure flavor of a dark and smokey tobacco with a nic... Read More
hit that really drives it home. Smoked it out of a relatively short bowl and had to relight a few times to really get it settled which leaves me to believe this could benefit from a little dry time. I will let it spend so time in the closet and come back to it when my pallet is a little more experienced. Read Less

Tonkin flavour is excellent. It is strong and tasty. Better than unflavoured brother.

Smells flowery and fruity. Tastes like a slightly floral 1792 with less of the dark fired taste. Also the nic seems less than 1792 to me. Very enjoyable smoke
One Notch Below 1792
February 18, 2020
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Aromatic Bulk
Before I begin my review I have a question. What's going on with the Rose Geranium? I don't see it anywhere in the description or reviews, but my scented dark flame has a high proportion of Rose Geranium flavor, frequently vying for control with th... Read More
e delicious tonquin, with the liquorice and maple being background players. I'm just curious if this is the normal experience or not.
I thoroughly enjoyed scented dark flame, but in the end it will fill the role of being a pleasant change when I don't want unscented or 1792. Underlying the greats flavoring is a delicious, rich tobacco flavor expected from African dark fired and Indian air cured. The nicotine flows freely here. I was feeling it after a quarter of my deeper meerachaum pipe. Even breaking it into two sittings you will leave very satisfied. Theres not much to dislike here. For me, I just enjoy the powerful tonquin flavoring of 1792 more, alongside the dwwp natural flavor of unscented. A great addition to my lineup nonetheless. Read Less
Lovely Lakeland Dark Flake

This is an very nice flake. Typically wet, but air drys quickly. Took about 30 minutes to get it to the level I like to smoke. Rubs out nicely. The aroma is great it has a licorice, tonquin, dark, and earthy typical for this style of Gawith flake. Th... Read More
e smoke is very flavorful, I pick up the licorice, Lakeland floral that is not too strong, a hint of tonquin. Very nice complexity. For me the flavors build up slightly from start to finish. If you like dark fired flake, give this one a try. Read Less
