Strongest Flake on Earth?
September 11, 2017
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Unscented Bulk
DFU is a blend I've had a rocky past with because of its strength. I love it, but most of the time—despite my fairly high tolerance for nicotine—I simply can't enjoy this stuff because of its strength. This flake has more nicotine than any flake I've... Read More
ever had. The only other tobacco I've had that tops this one in strength is "Picayune", which is a now-defunct shag-cut from D&R. Strength issues aside, Gawith-Hoggarth makes some amazing flakes—among the best in the world—and this one is no exception. Although this tobacco goes through a similar process as the company's Black Irish X, these flakes are far better and more complex in flavor (almost objectively so). All of the aforementioned applies to its Scented counterpart Unfortunately I cannot get more than 50% of GH in Massachusetts anymore because Smokingpipes has an infuriatingly inconsistent categorization of what constitutes "characterizing flavors"! Thankfully there are a few others who will get those for me. Anyways…great stuff, and crazy strong. ❖ TLDR? ❖ If you love extremely strong pipe tobacco that's also full of wonderful flavor—and a rich history to boot—this is your flake. Read Less
Tyson Strength, Ali Finesse
August 19, 2019
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Unscented Bulk
This has become one of my favorite tobaccos and one I look forward to smoking for its wonderful flavor and formidable strength. I had always believed it was a mix of Virginias (India) and Dark-Fired Kentucky (Malawi), but I've also heard that the tob... Read More
accos are all Virginias. The manufacturer describes them only as... Indian air-cured and Malawi dark-fired. Regardless, this flake is loaded with flavor and body, and hell yes, nicotine. It takes a bit of work to get it rubbed out and lit but once you get it going, you'll find a blend that smokes cool and without bite. The flavors are dark-fired forward: smokey, floral, some "what is that" exotic notes, and cigar-like spice. Though labeled as unscented, there is a bit of the Lakeland essence, way in the background, but it only accentuates the floral and incense like nature of the smoke. In a nutshell, it's like HH Bold Kentucky/ODF, but more "Gawith-y." In terms of strength, it's top of the food chain. It's too good to deprive anyone, so you'll get no "experienced smokers only" jive from me. If you're sensitive to nicotine, smoke it in a small bowl. If you're a beginner coming from cigarettes with a nicotine tolerance, this will be your friend. It's wonderful. It most certainly does not "need work." Of course, my opinion is no more valid than anyone else's, but I believe everyone should at least try this. Read Less

Strong w/ a Smidge of Lakeland
February 08, 2018
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Unscented Bulk
Yep, this is a strong blend both in flavor/intensity and in nicotine. As a few reviewers have pointed out, this blend is billed as 'unscented'. Not sure what that means to GH&C but it should mean, there's no Lakeland note. Well, there is. It is n... Read More
ot as strong as other GH&C blends that purposely have the Lakeland essence but its there nonetheless. Personally, I find it to be minimal and completely tolerable. Also, while the blend is labeled as flake, it came more in a 'ready-rubbed' form which also was fine by me. Its a bit moist coming out of the bag so a tab bit of drying time would prevent relights. The burley is the star here. I can't detect the VA but I'm sure its there. As I side note, the Mrs did NOT like the room note on this one at all. Stated that it smelled too much like cigarettes. Overall, I found this blend to be quite enjoyable but not on an empty stomach and not in large bowls. If you like strong GH&C blends, this one is pretty darn good.
***2019 Edit*** Over a year later, I still buy this in lbs. It is an amazing blend that I keep coming back to for an everyday smoke. Read Less

Strong Nicotine, Deep Flavor with a touch of Lakeland
March 11, 2020
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Unscented Bulk
The intensity of flavor and strength in this blend is very potent; great depth of fermented earthiness. It's a very bold tobacco flavor… this is very cigar-like as it's an almost fermented/composted leaf. The Dark-Fired doesn’t have the typical smo... Read More
ky oak or barbeque note, but rather possesses a finessed clove or slight wine-like quality to it, so it’s definitely not dark-fired from the US. Although the Lakeland is present it’s minimal in note and doesn’t sublimate the tobacco. For those that abhor the floral essence, you might find it intolerable as it IS there. The strength of nicotine is higher in this than any other tobacco product I've smoked in 28 years. I simply can't smoke and enjoy this for a long period - it requires a smaller French billiard (Ropp). Even at that, I can only last maybe 5 minutes before the nausea, hiccups and ball in the chest begins and requires I set it down and walk away. The flavor is good, but the strength is simply too great to allow me to sit and enjoy the nuance of the leaf. Nic 5 out of 5 Read Less
The Double Ligero of Pipe Tobaccos
February 10, 2017
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Unscented Bulk
This stuff has the kind of body and nicotine kick that are normally only exhibited by the most potent of cigars, and it's got a rich flavor to boot!

味道有邪恶感，抽不明白
March 17, 2021
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Unscented Bulk
味道有点像闹鬼书店以及扭曲的萦绕，劲道不小，甜味的感觉不是普通的水果甜，而是类似于甘草的甜味。最关键是背景板上一直有一股类似发霉的家具的感觉，整体的要烟气给人感觉非常的邪恶而又黑暗，抽不明白，抽到中段被迫放弃。如果你是喜欢扭曲萦绕这种类似雪茄风味的B草爱好者，这款草也许你可以尝试一下，新手一定要谨慎尝试。。。

September 30, 2018
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Unscented Bulk
Deep notes of dark fired tobacco and cigar in the jar, with a noticeable molasses or brown sugar that pleases. Im sure sweetness will come with age as it does with the other GH dark fired blends, but fresh there is nary a sweet note to be found, and... Read More
that's ok. There is an abundance of dark fired and cigar flavor here as one would expect from a blend comprised only of dark tobaccos. Smokes cool and slow with a little moisture at the bottom, and requires a few relights possibly. Dark flake is strong in the nicotine department and will catch you off guard on occasion if you are not prepared with food in stomach. There are VERY few blends that have given me anything remotely close to nicotine sickness due to my absurd tolerance from both cigarette and pipe, but this is one of them. Small pipes will see this issue corrected. Very flavorful, very strong, but cool. However, I find I enjoy happy brown bogie and dark Birdseye more for flavor, and I think old dark fired is a good alternative with less nicotine and more depth of flavor. Really theres nothing not to like here, and I will continue to smoke dark flake when in positively craving dark fired and dark air cured, but in general I prefer the flavor of Birdseye and beown bogie. Your tastes May differ of course Read Less

A very spicy flake. The lakeland taste is significant. Nic hit is very strong for me. Feel headache after half a bowl. I personally prefer the brown flake.

smoky tobaccos from G&H. This blend is like smoking a stick of smoky, licorice flavored beef jerky that’s got a little dark dark cocoa and black pepper on it.
