Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. American Delite 50g
I packed a bowl and struck my match. As soon as I touched the fire to the bowl I realized I had transformed into a bald eagle shooting two machineguns at the same time. Not sure how this was accomplished mid flight, as I was flying over Iraq pooping ... Read More

Great Tobacco for a return to pipe smoking

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. American Delite 50g
I had been an avid pipe smoker some years back , but switched to cigars for many years. I have now come full circle and this is one of the tobaccos I chose as my starter. I was familiar with the Burleys and Cavendish and was rewarded upon first light... Read More
ing, by a smooth smoking and light nicotine charged blend that was easy on the palate as well as providing a pleasant room note. The bowel was easily managed and stayed light when tamped appropriately. overall a great tobacco that reminded me why I was returning to a pipe again. Thanks for carrying this brand I would recommend for anyone who enjoys a light smoke. I also found in an experiment that this blends well with Peterson Irish Flake. The extra stoutness in the flake is tempered by the sweet Virginias in the Delight blend providing a more robust vitamin N kick but w/o the as powerful a kick as straight out the tin from the Peterson Irish Flake. A 50/50 ratio is perfect I highly recommend it. Cheers! Read Less

I understand why OTC old school American burley's have an appeal, and in my opinion, it's mostly because they smoke cool. Outside of that, they are not as good as more VA heavy tobaccos, but it's always nice to get a break from the tongue bite. This ... Read More
is where this blend comes in. It's balanced and far more VA heavy than the usual cool smoking blend, and yet it manages to smoke just as cold. Quite nice, especially for a multitasking smoke. Read Less
Truly a Delight

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. American Delite 50g
It's mild and relaxing. Smells delicious in the tin and while smoking. There are mentions of this comparing to 1Q which I somewhat agree with, but found this to be a bit more aromatically pleasing to the nose. It burns smoothly without bite, I really... Read More

Does tobacco get any better than this? If I was stranded on an island with only one tobacco, this would be the one I would want. When you open the tin you get this odd smell of yeast roles with some sweet apples and golden raisins baked in, but when ... Read More
you smoke it all I can thing about is the quality of the tobacco. The next time I opened the tin that smell that seemed odd to me the first time was now strangely appealing. Read Less

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. American Delite 50g
I remember my father had a big bag of American made tobacco not too dissimilar to this. I don't believe it was Admiral's Choice, but something on that order. The dark fruit (somewhat cherry like) comes to the front and it's just that old-timey fami... Read More
liar smoke we have all smelled, or smoked ourselves, at some point in our life.
As an aside, I would get into his bag of tobacco when I was about 11 years old and get HIGH.AS.A.KITE. Like, full on laughing like a giddy school girl. Unfortunately, tobacco doesn't do that to me anymore and the only stuff that does is currently illegal in my state. Read Less
Cool and smooth

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. American Delite 50g
Tried it in a MM gentleman corn cob with a filter and it was a very pleasant smooth/dry smoke. Stayed lit for a long time with very few relights and I was able to smoke the entire bowl with very little dottle left. Beginning of the bowl was sweet tas... Read More

Tried this when working my way through the G&H offerings, became a staple and favorite in my rotation. I only like Aromatics that taste like they smell and this one does not disappoint. Not goopy, or bitey, just pure enjoyment.

A friend of mine brought me back 500 grams from England and I have been working through it faster than I thought. It has become my everyday tobacco. It smells like oatmeal raisin cookies and has nice plum and raisin notes in the smoke. Burns well and... Read More

I had been creating a lightly aromatic 'my own mixture' for some time, to smoke in company with other people. I saw the recipe for "American Delight", and it appeared similar. So...I tried it! It's a very nice blend with a good room presence for othe... Read More
rs, and has a level of a nicotine that surprised me. The cooked fruit overtone is subtle - and doesn't detract from the clear tobacco flavors. I found this a good 'break-in' tobacco for new pipes too...it's springy enough to fill the bowl evenly, and clean-burning to leave absolutely no sticky residue at all.This is now a go-to of mine...and for those smelling it, too.

An outstanding burley-forward blend with plenty of black cavendish and Virginia also mixed in. There’s something so nostalgic about American Delight, reminiscent of when I first started smoking pipes all those years ago. A very smooth subtle aromatic... Read More
