Product Number: 003-069-0008

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.

I am not a fan of this sickly cherry flavoring. With cherry it can be beautiful or sickly and this veers towards that. I am not saying it is horrible or anything, but it also isn't great in my opinion. Obviously this is all based on taste and everyone will have different opinions so take with it what you will....Read More

As a long time Tobacco Enthusiast I found early on I did not like aromatic blends.
I found the methods and materials used left a lot to be desired in a bowl.
Now during my excursion into Gawith Hoggarth blends I found a number of their blends I like despite having quite a lot of toppings so I
took a chance and ordered two tins of Kendal dark cherry.
I always warmed to the idea of cherry in a tobacco but every time I did not find the taste matching the pouch note.
This blend is a bit mild in the tin and cold draw was subdued. First light a distinct medicinal cherry appears after which the cold draw now had a full cherry tang.
I like it.
Smooth and flavorful, without a chemical dump aftertaste.
To be honest, I enjoy natural tobacco in fuller power levels and this cherry blend will not be taking over a place in rotation instead, this will be a pleasant crowd pleaser with a nice bonus for me as a tasty cherry.
I am using a cob just for the blend and I do suggest to use a cob or old unloved briar as this blend may take over with ghosting.
Recommend to all Enthusiasts and Newcomers without reservations.
While there are more flavors than just cherry during a bowl it does remain throughout. My personal taste history has only one analog and that would be sucrets throat lozenges. That part fades quickly but is oddly pleasant, right down to the slight tingle left on the tongue. The blend then settles into the main flavors.
great stuff!
Update:
How to make a Cherry Bomb….
1 part Gawith&Hoggarth Dark unscented flake
3 parts Kendal Black Cherry.
The unscented provides a big blast of power without masking the Flavors.
My morning bowl was tasty and powerful thus warranting a post about it.

Final UPDATE:::
With more time with this blend I have decided to add it to my regular rotation.
The flavor may not appeal to some and the lack of power is quite noticeable yet I find myself loading bowl after bowl.
With the ability to adjust the power level up or down using GH dark unscented flake this blend has become a great break from my usual blends while allowing full customization to how much flavor and power I desire at the time.
Not for everyone, but for those who do enjoy the blend there is a lot on offer.

Long term update...
I find that with some aging this blend becomes very nice.
The cherry is light and delicate with no bite.
There is a great savory aspect that has appeared at the bottom of the bowl that is both tasty and satisfying.
I highly recommend aging of this tobacco.

Not much tobacco flavor

This is a lot better than the Tinder Box's Anniversary I used to smoke in the 80s. Nice natural tasting chery flavor, not just aroma. What it's lacking is any significant tobacco taste. The description says the Cavendish is from a "double fermentation " process. I might have enjoyed a single fermentation more; tastes like it's had most of the tobacco flavor fermented out of it. Still a pretty good smoke, very simple, burns well, little nicotine....Read More

Tin note of vanilla, cherry, and mild Lakeland. The black tobacco looks mostly like ribbon and ready rub. Tobacco feels dry, soft/moldable but not sticky. Drying is not needed. Burns slow with a few extra relights. The strength is mild and nic is mild. Flavoring is medium, with notes of Lakeland, mild cherry, and a very slight vanilla. Cherry is the first to dissipate, followed close by the vanilla. the Lakeland hangs out till the later stages but is less potent than when started. Taste is mild to medium and mostly consistent, with notes of brown sugar, floral, sweet grass, bitter wood, hay, a mild tart dark fruit background note, and a moderately peppery retro. Flavoring is leading with Cavendish supporting until the halfway point, when they swap. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is good....Read More

This is one of the finest cherry tobaccos that I have ever smoked. The smoke is cool and smooth with lots of creamy billowing smoke. I wish that it was always available and I would order it as often as I could. No doubt one of Gawith Hoggarth's best.

A lite cherry Cavendish

It’s a pretty mild cherry cavendish. It’s wet, I let it dry a bit. Smokes well enough. Notes of a dark cherry. Not a cherry bomb but enough to let you know it’s there. Room note is very nice.
Real good

Has a sweet soft flavor. Not sure about "cherry" but definitely sweet almost like flowers. Kinda soapy? I like it!

The Only Cherry Aro For Me

Delicious and smooth. Dark, cool, and mysterious with a floral quality and a mild black cherry note. Not the fake, bitey, hot-smoking mess that most cherry blends end up being.
Excellent old school aromatic

The Top Black Cherry is, without a doubt, one of the finer aromatic blends out there. Rather moist in the tin, a little drying out will benefit the bowl immensely. The smoke itself is dry and never bites, quite unlike many similar blends out there. The flavor is subtle cherry, woven through with wafts of sweet Cavendish of the highest order. Te ghost remains in the pipe, to be sure, but I would never smoke an aromatic in a pipe not dedicated to the genre. Gawith & Hoggarth's Top Black Cherry is a gourmet aromatic of the finest order....Read More
