About This Pipe Tobacco

Founded in Kendal, Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. has fashioned quality pipe tobacco since 1887, utilizing processes and techniques that date to 1792. The Cumbria-based company prioritizes natural tobacco flavor, and in many of their mixtures, Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. maintains the standards enforced by the United Kingdom's strict purity laws of the 19th and 20th centuries — such laws dictating how much and what type of flavorings could be added to pipe tobacco and ensuring that sub-quality leaf wasn't hidden under the veil of exorbitant toppings.

A traditional aromatic flake with a medium-bodied character, Jamaican Rum is composed of select Virginias, Dark Fired leaf, and Burley. This blend evokes a soft sweetness, featuring notes of maple and, of course, rum.

I love this so much I went a bought a box. It is their Christmas blend with its baking spice sweetness. Just hints of rum and brown sugar on the retro. A truly spectacular smoke.
Comforting and Smokey

Bought this blend with other bulk Lakelands and this one exceeded my expectations. Smokes great with my 320ks. Cool flavorful smoke with hints of brown sugar and just a far rum flavor in the back. I compare it to St. Bruno and they are on the same level of greatness.
Good tobacco

I tend to prefer fairly bold, sweet aromatics. This Rum Flake has a truly wonderful tin note: definitely spicy, but not alcoholic. During the smoke, the various nuances have to be teased out with a slow cadence. It burns beautifully, and the tobacco flavor is quite evident, as the topping isn’t particularly delicate.
My 2 oz of bulk weren’t excessively moist and were already quite good to smoke, perhaps because they weren’t especially fresh. I’ll try ordering it again as soon as it becomes available, because a new batch might release a more pronounced topping.
It’s a satisfying smoke that reveals its flavors especially well through the retrohale. I wouldn’t describe it as excessively sweet, but rather as flavorful.

First GH
August 07, 2026
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Rum Flake 50g
Rum flake now called Jamaican flake was the first GH blend (and first flake) I tried in 2020 when I started pipe smoking followed by their Balkan mixture shortly after and from those two blends I could tell Gawith Hoggarth’s quality is in a league of its own. Smoked in a corn cob. It may slightly ghost but will mostly vanish after a few bowls of something else. Delicious VaBur flakes with a hint of licorice, vanilla, maple and rum. I finally got another tin and am enjoying it with a new appreciation now as a more experienced smoker. It’s really good for an aromatic smoker when they want something a little stronger, richer & smokier to relax. Im excited to try more from Gawith Hoggarth...Read More
Now called Jamaican Flake

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Rum Flake 50g
My sentiment goes along with the rest of the reviews. Just thought everyone should know that if you order “rum flake” it will not show up with that lable in your mailbox. It is now apparently called “Jamacan Flake”
