Sweet & Sour
February 26, 2018
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Best Brown Flake #2 Bulk
Sweet and sour, tangy and delicious!
This is yet another one from GH&Co that just ticks all the right boxes. To be honest, this one took me awhile to figure out and really fall for. I remember tasting a light Lakeland topping when I first tasted... Read More
this blend but I don't pick up on that anymore, at all. I'm assuming I just got used to the topping and I just don't taste it anymore. This is a very sweet, tangy Virginia blend. The leaf had some obvious age on it when I got it as I could see the beautiful sugar crystals (bloom) covering the flakes. I also pick up that vinegar, ketchup type smell that you will sometimes find with well aged, fermented VA's. When I say this blend is sweet, I mean it is sweeeeet. Not in the overly topped aromatic kind of way but in the all natural tobacco kind of way. I'm sure I'm picking up on some of the casing in this tobacco but overall it tastes just like a natural tobacco and it's absolutely wonderful! This one isn't too strong in the nic dept but it's strong enough to satisfy my needs and I'm a proud nicotine addict. What we have here is another winner from the GH&Co house and I rate it as an absolutely essential blend for the experienced pipe smoker, their tobaccos make me wish I were a Brit.

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Best Brown #2 Flake 50g
Upon opening, you are greeted with a block of beautiful, partially broken flakes dotted with a decent amount of sugar crystals. The smell is akin to McClelland virginias; sharp, with a vinegar like sourness. This is the dominant smell, but there are ... Read More
also dried fruits in the background. The delicate floral quality of this blend presents itself while smoking, though it does not mask the flavour of the leaves. Lightly sweet on the draw, and toasted on the finish. I wouldn't say this is a "bright" tasting tobacco; it carries warmer tones, and is not as harsh as some other Va/Bur or Lakeland flakes can be.

Bought the last oz of this. Some of you might know what I mean when I say this: Best Brown is like a finely crafted Porter Beer. It is sweet, thick, and molassesy. With a hint of smokiness. I could could go for a lb of this right now. Wonderful!

So i had expected it to be more like best brown flake, its similar in name but stops there.
Here we have a very rich heavy smoke. Not very complex but what is there i really dig. Its much more earthy than BBF. I would assume its cause its more burley... Read More
forward w a touch of Va kust to ad depth and sweetness. Its not very sweet but has enough fpr a nicely rounded profile. I bought an oz to try and i will be getting 8 oz next order. Im sure a few years will male this a 5 star smoke.
Smokes best in a deep large bowl lightly packed so the dence flakes can expand. Read Less

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Best Brown Flake #2 Bulk
Very nice Virginia flake. I like the sweetness and a hit of sour. The lakeland is not significant but can be recognized. Slow burn and nice white ash.
非常好的V切。很甜，一点点酸味。湖区味能尝到，但很淡。烧的很慢，烟灰很白。
微甜 V草香 淡淡的湖区味

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Best Brown Flake #2 Bulk
微微的甜味，就是烟草天然的香味，若隐若现的湖区味。力道适中，燃烧很好，不烧舌。相对来说是没有什么特色的一款草。

点火以后你就会发现，其实b草不是主导，淡淡的甜味始终在口腔流转，没有咬舌的顾虑，虽然层次不够，但是抽一天你也没有压力……桂花鸭

Package note of stewed fruit, raisin and vinegar. Tobacco flakes are a marbled brown and fairly dense, will require some prep either cubing or rubbing out. Tobacco is moist and may need some drying. Burns is slow with a few relights. The strength is ... Read More
medium and nic is mild. Flavoring is very mild and inconsistent, with notes of slightly sweet and even slighter Lakeland. Taste is medium and mostly consistent, with notes of wood, earth, tart citrus and tart dark fruit, grassy floral and a little spicy on the retro. Virginia is leading with burley supporting and the flavoring hiding in the background. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great too. Read Less

Tart and Citrusy Sweet
September 01, 2021
Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Best Brown Flake #2 Bulk
No Lakeland. Yep, it's tart, but it has a sweetness that balances that a bit. There's no spiciness associated with the VA, which I suppose is in higher proportion to the burley, which calms, smooths and provides mouthfuls of smoke. It's not bad... ... Read More
a touch sweeter and certainly more tart than Gawith's Full Va Flake. It's also much weaker and certainly less flavorful than FVF. Nicotine is 2 out of 5. Read Less

Only a mild sweet casing. It's tasteful, unlike aromatics. Forms a nice thick carbon cake.

For a long time I’ve sought after a tobacco that.... I’m not sure how to explain it. Is perfect. It’s cool smoking, comes very aged, simply rub it out, (no drying) and stuff it in your pipe a puff away. It’s rugged in its form and elegant in its perf... Read More
ormance. Morning or night, summer or winter, I can’t stop smoking it. I didn’t understand it at first but all at once it cane together and I got it. I’ve had multiple euphoric experiences with this tobacco. Ya know, the kind where everything just comes together. I’ll never stop smoking BB#2 as long as Gawith produces it. My hat is off to them!

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Best Brown Flake #2 Bulk
This is pretty good but not something I'll smoke very often. Has a decent sweet and sour flavor going on but not my favorite blend from this company. I give it a good rating because it's a quality blend just not exactly what I'm looking for.

I've enjoyed best brown for a longtime but only recently tried Best Brown #2, I can honestly say I like it a lot and think it'll become a favourite. However, I don't get any Lakeland 'essence' or 'floral' taste or smell, I don... Read More
't dislike the 'essence' but can't say it floats my boat too much either.
Lovely broken flake, darker than BBF, I smell the hay, citrus notes from the Virginia which melds nicely with the nutty, biscuit notes of the Burley. Burns well with only a couple of relighted but that's no doubt down to my cadence and letting it go out.
I shall update this review when I've gotten through the bag I have here just now. I'm sure there'll be a 1lb bag of it enroute to me very shortly though!.
I don't think I've disliked any G&H blends I've smoked yet and that includes Best Brown #2.. Read Less

I keep this around because it's not a bad smoke; initially, I tried it in my seemingly never-ending quest to duplicate the now unavailable Amphora Brown of my youth. Alas, another dead end. Judging it on its own merits, I find that half a bowl is suf... Read More
ficient at a time. Otherwise, the burly begins to dominate the Virginia and brings with it the flavor of dirt and a consequent case of heartburn. I haven't noticed much in the way of Lakeland flavor with this one, and that's a plus from my end of the bench. It doesn't ghost my pipe, exhibits minimal tendency to bite, burns appropriately, and lasts a long time because I don't use it frequently. Read Less

, Very Strong, has the Famous Lakeland Floral Flavor, Wife complained about the nasty Aroma. You have heard the old saying “Go smell the roses”, well this is you chance to “Go smoke the roses”. Some people report that they actually like the Lakeland Floral Flavor, but my guess is most people are going to hate this Blend. I was very disappointed with this Gawith Hoggarth & Co. best seller.
