Hefty stuff this. I can't say I could detect much apple, nor was it very sweet. Not far removed from Brown Bogie, it's a powerful tobacco for those times when a collosal dose of nicotine is needed - if smoked accidentally by someone expecting an aromatic it may cause terrifying and unexpected side effects...
Cut into the thinnest slices and rubbed out lightly it provides a mighty smoke and immediately invigorating nicotine hit. The flavour is leathery, woody and cigar like. A nicotine tingle in the mouth may progress to a harshness which is common to these very strong tobaccos. The side stream is smokey and slightly cigar like and doesn't offer much sweet apple. I can't imagine they sell much of this so perhaps the apple essence has evaporated in storage.
Smoke this in a clay pipe whilst digging a trench in the rain for the full "navvy" experience.

Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Brown Irish Sweet Apple.
The tobacco arrives in an exceedingly thick rope/twist. The smell from the pouch has a lot more apples than the smoke's taste. Due to the thickness I use a sharp knife to slice it, and then it's easy enough to rub.
The smoke? As I said, it's not overly apple-like. There is VERY subtle hint, but as the dark Virginia's so strong tasting (smoky and full) it would take a massive dose to affect it. The burn from B.I.S.A. can't be faulted, and the temperature's low.
There's enough nicotine to stop a tank in it's tracks, and I don't like the room-note.
Disappointing.
Not recommended.
