t sweetness that I get from a retrohale but other than that it’s just plain. I also have to do a lot of relights with it which is never fun....Read More

oky which is unique and very good. The leaf is sturdy to chew and flavor lasts a long time.
For smoking I also prefer the tight twists like S Gawith puts out - these GH twists are loose and unwind easily which make it more fussy to cut. The quality of the individual leaves is good though, I may try using one as a cigar wrapper. A very expensive cigar wrapper......Read More

Heavy, extra strong cased aromatic with nicotine.

rth uses) I fire cure with alder coals in a very small toughshed. I then stuff it in mason jars after dousing in a liter of rum which has a pound of licorice roots soaking in it for a year (or ground) in a mason jar, and that same flavor plus a lot more going on in this one.
This blows esoterica ramsgate out of the water in every conceivable category by a landslide.
This is a straight up aromatic and might be the most heavily flavored Gawith & Hoggarth tobacco if not any aromatic I ever tried, right up there with ennerdale, bosun, etc.
Most of the ropes are very lightly topped. Not this one. This is absolutely soaked to perfection.
This burned surprisingly well even wet out of the bag in a cob. Needs to be dried before going in a briar obviously.
Smooth, ultra sweet, and the topping lasts right down to the end of the bowl.
This doesn't just smoke well, it smells phenomenal. People complain about the smell of brown or black irish X? You'll have no complaints here. This smells really, really good to people around you.
Licorice is my favorite flavor and this is like smoking straight licorice.
I have to emphasize again, this isn't some faint casing in the background. This stuff is just saturated with it.
This is my favorite of the ropes from the first pipe and I am going to cellar a very large amount of this. It comes nice and wet for aging, and I can't image how good this will be if aged for a year or longer in mason jars.
I thought all the ropes were too mildly topped until I tried this. The strongest aromatic which I have enjoyed for years was Sillem's linea epotique, a coffee, plum and caramel topping vs the licorice in aniseed twist, but this has just a strong flavor, albeit not as nice a room note (still great), and has nicotine as well which linea epotique has little to none.
This stuff has as much flavor as 965 in the aromatic side if not more so.
Was not expecting this to be so flavorful and was very happy I ordered this. I am now wondering why I put it off so long, as I really like ropes.
If you like black licorice get this, if you don't, you'll choke on it. It tastes even stronger than the candy.
A real desert island smoke....Read More
