Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Coniston Cut Plug
Supreme British tobacco
Coniston Cut Plug is a very stout British tobacco. This is a tobacco that you want to savor and just lightly puff. Let the pipe smolder and relax and take your time. It doesn't bite nor get bitter, but it has a high nicotine content and you want to enjoy it, not get sick or the ''Hibbie Jeebbies''. It's smooth as butter but the taste is full. I like to use one of my Savinelli's with a 6mm charcoal filter. I give this about 45 minutes dry time and rub it out very well. Pack the pipe a little tight, get it going and let it smolder.
Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Brown Flake Aromatic

Don't know what's up with the rating button but I want to make it clear that this is a 5 star out of 5 star rating. I have a friend from the U.K. that told me that I would tier from the American everyday burley blends. I though he was wrong, and for years he was. But another friend that lives here in the states told me he was sending me some "tasty" virginia's and some other tid bits. He sent me some Samuel Gawith flakes and that was it, I was hooked. Gawith Hoggarth Brown Flake aromatic is one of my favorite tobaccos. When I first bought it and opened the bag I thought I made a huge mistake. The stuff smelled exactly like the powder I use after showering. I mean it's the same smell! I thought to myself "this is going to be gross". I let it sit in the jar and smoked the Dark Flake Scented and loved that. After a few months in the jar I decided to pack a bowl. The flakes had tiny glistening diamonds all over them. Besides rum Flake Dark Flake Scented and Coniston Cut Plug, this stuff is by far my favorite Gawith Flake. Taste is amazing, the room note is fabulous, and it has a great nicotine content, perfect to be honest. If it wasn't so darn pricey I would buy 5lbs at a time. Kendal Flake was another favorite but I'm not too upset that KF was discontinued AS long as Brown Flake aromatic is still around.
Cornell & Diehl - Eight State Burley 2oz
Love in a can
I am primarily a burley smoker. Prince Albert is my everyday blend. Someone graciously sent me two cans of this. For a long time I wasn't a C&D fan at all, but Pegasus and After Hours flake changed that for me. If an online friend hadn't sent this to me I would have never tried it. I LOVE this blend, I would have a pipe in my mouth all day with this tobacco in the bowl. I'm a "codger" pipe smoker meaning I'm not a master of tastes or nuances. I can't pick apart the tobaccos when puffin'. All I know is this tobacco is tasty, burns great, no tongue bite and the room note is comforting and relaxing. I'm an ex cigarette smoker, I quit over ten years ago so I know about nicotine levels and hits. This tobacco smokes nice and slow, the nicotine is there! Very relaxing and sedative. For you guys that are sensitive to nicotine, my advice would be to smoke a small bowl first. I can't get enough of this tobacco!
Prince Albert - Prince Albert 14oz
Prince Albert
This tobacco actually came out in 1907 not 1856. A German scientist invented a system on how to steam, press and crimp burley to help take the bite out of smoking tobacco. This is my everyday blend. Piedmont burley with a bit of Turkish. The tobaccos are or were the same exact blend as Camel cigarettes. Prince Albert has a topping which Camels don't. The casing is liquorice and molasses and the topping is cocoa. This is probably the best American classic otc style burley pipe tobacco. This was also given to our military along with Velvet and Edgeworth Ready Rubbed during WW2. This isn't Wessex burley slice, but it's a perfect pipe tobacco for the morning pipe through the afternoon. I usually smoke a strong blend after supper like Gawith Hoggarth flakes, but during the day it's PA. The aroma/room note is very nostalgic, think "Poppop" or an old diner from the 1970s. It has that typical old fashioned "is some one smoking a pipe' smell.
Sutliff - Model Match

I never smoked the original but if it tasted and smelled like this, then I don't know why HOW went out of business! This stuff is delicious. It tastes good and the room note is classic pipes. It does come a little moist. I dried it for half an hour and it was ready to go. Good nicotine hit. I gave it 4 stars because it does have the tendency to bite if pushed.
