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.
Gawith, Hoggarth & Co.'s Westmorland blend is a broken flake comprised of pressed African dark fired tobaccos that yield a cool, satisfying, full flavoured smoke.
Customer Reviews
The toppings here are absolutely recognizable as “Lakeland” (to me that means floral, semi-pungent, perfume), and they’re aren’t light—but they’re perfectly applied to allow that meaty, oily tobacco flavor to come through.
Drying is helpful for an easy light, but I think it’s important to avoid losing the flavors that come from the moist flake. What I do is dry some overnight (or even for a day or more) and rub that out into kindling. Then I tear a fresh slice lengthwise into short “sticks” that are just shorter than the bowl’s depth. I pack these loosely, standing up in the bowl, then sprinkle kindling around the edges and on top. Works great and produces a reliable burn and a ton of flavor.
One other note: I’m sensitive to some Virginias, which bite me no matter how slowly I try to smoke them. This one doesn’t bite me. Ever.
5 stars. A treat for Lakeland veterans like me and a great introduction for people just dipping their toe into this type of blend....Read More
