Beats out Coniston for me.

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

Tried almost every Gawith, Gawith Hoggarth blend available in the US currently and Dark Flake Aro (other 2 are bosun & coni) is easily one of my favorites, great stuff! 5 STARS 🔥

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

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!

Yes I like it but I believe bosun cut plug is got much more flavor.

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

Stout and sweet. Better than the non- scented, buying again

Way stronger than I ever imagined. I didn't taste licorice or any real flavors. It's probably made for people with a much more developed taste than I have. Super nicotine hit though. I think I'll jar it and wait a few years.

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 nic 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 More

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
