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 blend for Aromatic aficionados, Gawith, Hoggarth & Co.'s Kendal Black Cherry showcases a special, double-fermentation process, combining Black Cavendish tobacco with a black cherry topping for delectable flavor and an enticing room note.

I heard about this tobacco on a YouTube channel. Not being much of an aromatic smoker I was hesitant about it. I bought it anyway, I was put off by the tin note because it smelled very synthetic. I smoked a bowl of it and it was actually pretty good! The cherry flavor wasn’t overpowering and whatever they use for cavendish is fairly flavorful....Read More

Been waiting for this to come in stock, by far my favorite cherry aromatic. Good tobacco taste with a hint of dark cherry, not too overpowering, very smooth.
Take it or leave it IMO

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
