Gawith Hoggarth & Co.: Kendal Kentucky Vintage Cut Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 005-001-0089

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.

Kendal Kentucky is a bold blend, showcasing Dark-Fired Kentucky leaf for a flavor profile that highlights the varietal's deep and smoky essences. While Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. has traditionally only offered shag-cut versions of their blends to the U.S. market, this Vintage Cut edition presents Kendal Kentucky in a classic ribbon format.

Good So Far ... *updated 9 months later*

I just had a "first bowl" of this and I can not yet give a pure review. But I wasn't disappointed at all. The rest is going into a jar. So I give it a 4.5★ rating; in keeping with the current overall average. *Update*...some nine months later; Wow! This is really good. Just opened my jar, with this in it, and tried a bowl two days ago. This is far above and beyond all other blends, about 3 dozen, I've tried this year (being my first year). It's got such a nice and noticeable tobacco taste. It is a bit strong....so you may experience those "niccups" I've only imagined before trying this one. But this happened only during my first bowl. Also, it tastes best, at least for me, in a smaller diameter bowl. Tried it in my Bent POT (Savi w/0.92" diameter) pipes, larger diameter bowls, and wasn't as flavorful/enjoyable as in a pipe (with near 0.66" to 0.79" diameter) such as: a Billiards, Bing's Fav', Eltang Basic, etc.. Even of those, it's best in one pipe (Nording "Erik the Red" Billiard) more than in others. It's second best in my Eltang Basic pipes. So, dedicate a briar to this one...after you've found "the one."...Read More

This has a crazy high nicotine level, Do not inhale! I"m going to use a shallower bowl for this . I like the taste better than latakia, it doesn't have the strong smoky aftertaste latakia has, but its a good smoke, I might try blending it.
An All Day Smoke

This is an all day smoke. You can smoke it in the morning. You can smoke it midday. You can smoke it in the evening. You can have it as the last pipe you smoke for the day, when, if you’re me and you want it to be strong, and it is just that. But, you can start your day with it and just smoke it throughout the day and never get tired of it. I propose a new definition to “JimInks” term, ‘All day smoke’ He would not think this was an ‘All Day Smoke’ But folks…you can smoke this all day long and just be happy as a damn clam. 😘...Read More

These Brits know what they're doing. Yeah, we invented Kentucky, but they're really good at it.

I have almost 300 jars in my smoking rotation, this one however is the very first one I can smoke multiple times a day multiple days in a row, a very nice nic hit, but extremely smooth. Burns to a fine ash and the flavors are sublime. Do yourself a favor and pick up at a minimum 8oz
Great Smoke

This is a wonderful smoke, very cool so no tongue bite. I was curious to try this as I have only had 1 other Kentucky tobacco. This is much better than I expected, Its full bodied but soft Nic hit wasnt to bad for me but it is fairly sting. I would recommend a full stomach and mid to later in the day. If you like to try new tobacco's I would recommend it. My normal every day is OJK, Haunted Bookshop, and Billy Budd(yes that one is an oddball). This one will be my number 4 to my normal smokes....Read More
