Instant Fave

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Scotch Flake Bulk
This became an instant favorite of mine. Mild sweetness between grassy and bran notes, sometimes like sweet-tea. There is no bite. It's great.

Well worth a try if you're looking for something full-bodied, rich and sweet. I keep a large bag of this on hand for when I fancy a nice change from my two other favourites, Gawith Hoggarth brown twist, and Seattle Pipe Club plum pudding.

I struggled for a while with this flake. As initially it was bland and bitey which seemed at odds with its generally favorable reviews. I determined the best approach would be to microwave for 10 seconds and smoke in a filtered pipe. While definitel... Read More
y not a flavor bomb it quickly became subtly sweet and toffee like in the bowl with slight herbal notes. Not your usual Scotch blend as there is no oriental to give that sour depth I normally associate with good Scottish flakes. But it does leave one wanting more as the taste shifts between toffee and herbal and back again. Definitely worth smoking in those more contemplative moments as the flake is enticing in its subtleties
(Edit Update 12/13/2018): I have recently updated this tobacco from a 3.5 to a 4.5 and have moved this as my favorite tobacco. This flake is excellent when stoved. Take 4 oz and put in a mason jar, secure the top with tin foil and the outer ring and cook in the oven for 2 hrs at 220 degrees. A deep dark sweetness is present in the finished stoved product with hay and grass through out the bowl. Once stoved, this tobacco gains a deep, molasses like sweetness that sits just behind a rich grass/hay Virginia flavor. If you can wait for a 2 week rest, you will not be disappointed, I could not wait and started smoking immediately the next day, once all the moisture appeared to be re absorbed back into the flakes and am being rewarded with a deep floral smoke, that moves between a deep grass and hay flavor. Occasionally a subtle sour earthiness pokes out an then goes back into a rich herbal flavor. This is a phenomal smoke once stoved and very well worth takin the time to stove. Wow, this is now my favor tobacco. Take a flake, and fold and stuff 2/3 of the pipe, rub some out as filler and pack on top and around the folds of tobacco and prepare to be amazed!!! Read Less
Scotch Flake

A proper flake and all, but there is nothing in the flavor that will get me to buy more. I compare it to McClelland Fragrant Mature Cake, which is a bit milder, but has more flavor.

Has a nice bit of sweetness to it, good amount of strength, flavor is pleasing and mild, I think it can use a bit drying and rubbed out really well, but it burns good enough if left a bit chunky right out of the bag. Would definitely buy again.

One of those tobaccos I order more of. A simple virginia but satisfying, full and slow to smoke.

This tobacco has a pleasant pouch and room note. It burns well with good flavor and no bite. It has a nice after taste.
