Gawith Hoggarth & Co.: Kendal Kentucky Pipe Tobacco

This is my second review on this, but I had to share. I throughly enjoy this blend in the morning with a cup of strong black coffee. But I was looking for a bit of a change up for the rotation. So I blended by weight 60% Kendal Kentucky and 40% Yorktown (C&D) and have made something quite extraordinary....Read More

This is a good strong standard tobacco. It burns really well and clean, has very nice hydration level. Puff it gentle or it will kick like a mule.

Comes without any lakeland weirdness. This is a major plus. Just pure Kentucky goodness. Use it for a good stiff kick in the mouth, for a quick nicotine boost, as a condiment to spice up your favorite OTC tin, or make it the base for a strong home blend. Can't go wrong. I love it when the Gawiths take a break from the crazy lakeland stuff and let the pure tobacco shine through....Read More

This has just enough vitamin N to really put you in that deep contemplative mood. The mood where you can really relax and breathe easy for a bit, and maybe read the rest of that book you’ve been wanting to pick up. Or perhaps just write an extensive review on this heavenly tobacco as you listen to some of your favorite music. It pairs so well with black coffee, it nearly draws a tear of thankfulness. It has a full robust flavor, burns well (with a little bit of dry time) and makes for such a darn good time. I will make every effort to put some in my cart every time I place an order on here. I get tongue bite just thinking about tongue bite. Yet this hasn’t yielded any. Even if it did, I’d probably just take some ibuprofen and deal with it....Read More

Package note of mildly sweet barbeque. Tobacco is a shag cut of dark brown. Moisture content is ok, most pipe smokers will want to dry it a bit. Burns moderately fast with few relights. The strength is medium to strong and nic is medium to strong. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium to full and very consistent, with notes of fermented sour, musty herbal vegetation, almost creamy, brown sugar, dry bitterness, molasses. cocoa, spices, sweet toast, wood, rich earth, floral, a mildly savory and semi-sweet nutty background note, and a mildly peppery almost smooth retro. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

Great DFK. Easy to pack, easy to keep lit and smoke. Full flavored and strong. It's tangy and tart and has that deep smokiness. Not an all day puffer as I think it would be overpowering, but a bowl of it is delicious.

One of the best string cuts I’ve ever seen. I bought it for blending, but it holds its own solo.

Kendal Kentucky isn’t a bad substitute for GH&C’s brown ropes, and it doesn’t go out of stock the very same day it went in. The shag cut might have been easier to pack for the old-tyme sailors, but it gets hot and nasty quicker than rubbed-out coins or ribbons to me. I’m explaining, not complaining. Dark Bird’s Eye is more palatable, but what does one expect from a straight DFK? I’m a fan of both! This tastes better to me than HH Bold Kentucky, and I love that stuff. I can’t taste any Lakeland soap here either....Read More

I think I could survive on this one alone. Sure, I'd miss my spicey, gnarly Periques and my smokey, fragrant Latakias, but I'd miss this one more if I didn't have it. I don't even mind that it is a shag cut. The tin note is amazing--like a warlock's potpourri. As someone who is not a heavy Burley smoker, DFK is my main course every evening. As advertised, it does make a perfect foundation for a blend and stands well on it's own. If you enjoy Mac Baren HH ODFK you will enjoy this, possibly even more. Stop reading reviews and smoke this....Read More
