Gawith Hoggarth & Co.: Scotch Mixture Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 005-001-0018

The most popular 'Latakia' blend in Europe, Scottish Mixture is comprised of Brazilian, Zimbabwe, and Malawi Virginia (53%) which are blended with Malawi Sun-cured (10%) and Malawi Burley (17%). The relatively high proportion of Burley helps to carry the special Virginia casing which sweetens and flavors the blend. To this blend is added a small proportion of Black Cavendish Dark fired (7.5%) to cool the smoke, and finally the Latakia (12.5%) The whole combination provides a very pleasant and easy to smoke tobacco with the background taste and aroma of Latakia.

Bag note of campfire, sour and slightly sweet. Tobacco cut is mostly ribbon in colors of tan, light brown. there's a smaller amount of brown leaf and a tiny amount of black. Tobacco is moist but not wet, no drying/preparation needed. Burns is average with few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and consistent, with notes smoky wood, light floral, earth, a spicy retro and a sporadic lightly sweet note. The various Viriginia's are leading, supported by burley and latakia, and the dark fired cavendish is playing hide and seek in the background. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is good....Read More

Mediocre American English
August 31, 2021
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Scotch Mixture Bulk
No Lakeland. It's soft and has a lighter Latakia presence. The lack of Orientals means it doesn't possess the verdant, sour spice that adds dimension. When done correctly, American English can be wonderfully flavored and yet soft in PH, yet if too much cavendish is used it runs the risk of being bland. That blandness lends to mediocrity and nothing notable, which is what's occurred here. The burley lacks the molasses note we're accustomed to and the cavendish is used in too great a quantity. There's little sweetness, though the caramel nougat is in the background and is detected only when smoked cool. There's no grassiness from the VA... it's just a rather bland mixture. here's the thing: Every time I pull this out and smoke a little, the first 1/4 of the bowl I'm thinking: "I need to stock up on this stuff." Then, about half-way through, I'm thinking "why did I want to stock up on this, it's not that great?" It's like that every time.
The nicotine is light; about 1.5 out of 5.

Mellow,

Mellow, and malt like, though I’m quite sure there is no Scotch whisky used in this blend. The Latakia is only there to create a different taste and flavor, not to present as a smoky english. I might purchase again.
Good!!

This is a difficult review for me to write, as I absolutely love GH & Co.'s tobaccos. This blend, however, is the exception to the rule. I bought about 2 oz of this around a year ago and I just finished it a few weeks ago. I had been mulling over it for a while and I just don't feel that this one spoke to me. Don't misunderstand me; there's positively nothing wrong with this blend at all. It burned well and still had the nice GH mouth-feel that the other blends offer. I think that it just isn't for me. I found this blend to be just too bland to catch my interest; which is stange, because I like a lot of other tobaccos that other pipers find bland. Oh, well... Even for GH, they can't all be winners....Read More

I bought 4 oz just to tryand found this tobacco compairable to my farorite Dunhill 965. With the Dunhill going away, i feel this blend is an ok replacement, at half the cost. Its not a campfire tasting blend, like Sqardon Leader, but I get a stoch flavor, the burley to me is not over bearing. It is a lighter Latakia blend, but with the virgina it is a mellow flavor. I just orfered 8oz....Read More
Not so English to Me

Like the commentor below, I love to see other smokers' takes on the blends. To me, the smokey and spicy English elements, although present, go to the back seat. What hits me in the tin and in the smoke is a caramel nougat note...which I'm not particularly a fan of, but it is a pleasant smoke. I would buy again, but not for regular rotation. I would consider this a very well rounded blend to buy if you intend to share with American pipe smokers. I think everyone could enjoy it....Read More
Powerful Flavor

I've only been enjoying pipe smoking for about a year, so have grains of salt handy.

Unless I'm identifying the component incorrectly, this seems to be a very Latakia-forward blend. The tin-note is what I'd expect; rich and smokey. I found the mouthfeel to be quite strong in that flavor,
but in an oddly pleasing way. One of the greatest things about reading these reviews is the descriptions of the flavors we taste. Here's one for you: The intensely smokey and cool flavor to me is somewhere between Wint-O-Green and Ivory Soap.

If I'm not completely wrong, this is probably an acquired taste. But I still find that when choosing a tobacco to smoke and considering my mood, the pipe, and the weather, I invariably come back to this one just to check, and I do like it.
