I am a firm believer in trying all things once. This was my first rope style tobacco. These are just my first impressions. Let it dry a bit! If not, it is a bugger to keep lit. I immediately detect a subtle flavor I have never tasted in any other tob... Read More
acco. This may sound odd, or bad, but it reminds me of a old man. Like a old mans home. A smoky, almost musty smell/taste. It sounds off-putting but is actually quite nice. Makes me think of an old library or hunting cabin. Delightful. Read Less

A Pipe Cigar

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Sweet Maple Twist Bulk
I agree with several other reviews. Don't go rollerblading right after smoking this. It will be ugly. I think this tobacco is the bridge between cigars and pipes. It has a wonderfully complex flavor that is worth the effort it takes to smoke it. ... Read More
Take a pair of sharp scissors and cut "coins" off the end and then cut these "coins" into the smallest pieces you can. In this way you can achieve a nice smoke without drying the tobacco to a crisp. It takes a lot of tamping and you will be an expert tamper for all tobacco after a couple of ounces of this stuff but it will remain lit if you prepare it like this. Read Less
Lovely, (But To Much Work, Just To Smoke)

Well afther the nightmare of preparing it, it smoke fine. I didn't enjoy it, because of the nightmare I went through.

Was worried about this, but it sounded great. After proper prep and drying I loaded a rob roy cob. First minute of smoking was like a cigar and I was worried. It quickly settled into a faintly sweet, creamy and smooth smoke of the year. It is str... Read More

Well worth the prep & drying time! Pleasant maple flavor without any goop or bite you get with sweet tobaccos!

This is so good you can’t find it. I’ve been trying for over three years. If you hear anything about where to buy it at any of the dozens of online tobacco stores, then please let me know. Good luck.
A bit too much like a cigar

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Sweet Maple Twist Bulk
I'd have preferred the work to get this going reward me with more than just a cigar flavor. It is better when it stays lit, though the nic hit is very high and I didn't get any maple flavor at all.
Resplendent Rope

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Sweet Maple Twist Bulk
SMT is probably my favorite GH blend. It's not quite as strong as I expected it to be, but make no mistake, it's still strong. Unlike other GH offerings with Virginias, I actually taste them in this; I get the cigar flavors, but not quite as much as ... Read More
some others have reported. The maple flavor is just barely there, and it gets more noticeable and sweeter with time (at least six months or more) in the cellar. Some might find the prep to be a nuisance and the punch a little too strong, but for me, this is a pinnacle pipe tobacco. Additionally, if you enjoy Jackknife Plug, you're libel to go crazy for this. A personal all-time favorite. The one (and ONLY) downside to GH ropes is the prepararion; if you're not hip to taking time to prep your smokes, you're gonna hate this. However, for me, this is tobacco heaven. UNFORTUNATELY, after buying this stuff for years, Smokingpipes will no longer sell me this tobacco because of their very inconsistent restrictions of what constitutes "characterizing flavors" in an aromatic, based on Massachusetts' war on tobacco with any "flavors". Surely Elizabeth Warren & Co. have won the war on teenage smoking by stopping all the teens in MA from buying GH tobacco products, as we all know how much the kids love English pipe tobacco that smells of leather and florals (angry, maniacal laughs). This is great tobacco though…if you can even buy any. Read Less

I originally bought this one to chew, but didn't particularly get on with it. So I decided to load it into my Peterson System 303 and give it a go. Now, being iffy on straight Virginia pipe tobaccos, I was slightly hesitant. But before I start, let m... Read More
e say this was a very nice surprise. Upon opening the bag, the smell is very strong: deep, smoky, robust and kentucky like. I couldn't pick up any maple whatsoever, just a subtle sweet note. When lit, this tobacco smokes beautifully! Very cigar like with earthy, woodsy and spicy notes and a background of chocolaty sweetness. When I say cigar like, I don't mean as punchy as smoking a full bodied Nicaraguan, but rather, the taste of this twist is like smelling the toasting of a cigar. Just gorgeous. Read Less
Packs a punch

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Sweet Maple Twist Bulk
As Bill B.'s review said this stuff is strong and I got a strong nicotine hit from it. That said, it is pretty smooth compared to the Black Irish X twist that I have also tried. I enjoy the preparation process with twist tobaccos and I just dig the... Read More
old school style. I would recommend slicing off a few coins from the rope and then allowing the coins to dry a bit or even rub them out and let the tobacco dry before smoking. I was able to keep my pipe lit even without drying the tobacco but I think drying it would have made it better. I didn't detect any aromatic hits with this tobacco. The smell of the tobacco in the ziploc bag is appealing but the room note I would say is woodsy and smokey. I wouldn't choose to smoke this stuff every day, but it's not bad at all. Read Less

Strength, Nice Full Body Flavor, Lots of Nicotine, this blend will Knock you on your Butt.
If you are one who likes to “play” with your tobacco, by all means get this “Twist” form of tobacco, you can spend countless hours “Slicing, Dicing and Drying” this “Twist” tobacco before it is ready to smoke. I admit I am a lazy pipe smoker so I didn’t find this necessary extra preparation exercise to be of any value to heighten my pipe smoking enjoyment. You had better have a sizable ignition source on hand because you are going to need a lot of BTU’s to get this “Twist” tobacco to light. Once you achieve the first ignition you will need to have your best “Tamping Tool” at the ready to handle the endless re-packings and re-lights that this “Twist” form of tobacco requires. Perhaps you have detected that the “Twist” form of tobacco is not my “cup of tea”. Read Less
