I received this Tobacco as a gift from a friend and if im honest I would not have bought this myself not being a particular fan of peach. What a fool I was! This is a quality blend of which I have come to expect from Gawaith.

Strength I found this extremely mild even as it began to Dry.

Flavouring Unlike some flavoured tobacco I didnt find the Casing one ostentatious or overly brash! no quite the opposite it held very nicely right to the end of the bowl. It remained as a nice afterthought with each pull and tingled the tastebuds.

Room Note Well this is a very soft blend where the room note was concerned. Much like the Flavour it wasnt to opressive. much the parralell as it was a very pleasent and relaxing aroma. For my part I found it a very christmasy smell and not at all to sickly like some fruit based Toppings.

Taste I have a limited Sympathy with Fruity Tobacco. I tend to find them very sickly but this one was mild right to the end of the bowl. It was a wonderfully playful taste and again was very festive.

Recommendation For Casual and begginer smokers this is a MUST HAVE! however for the Veteran smoker you may find yourself wanting a little more from this one. Its a very christmasy smoke but also would work great for sitting out on the porch in the hight of summer.

A word of warning, this is a VERY moist cut and is extremely awkward to light.

A great introduction to pipe tobacco, I would heartily recommend for a beginner. Despite my love of English blends and SG's Best Brown Flake, I would still entertain a bowl of this just for the aroma.

The base tobacco is straightforward good quality and the added peach fragrance is both pleasant and well balanced. I just feel that it is let down by the cut. It's more of a shag than a ribbon (at least in my understanding of the terms) and this seems to flatten the taste as well as making it a bit more of a faf to deal with. Coarser textured tobaccos tend to carry the tastes across the palette with a bit more conviction and I often find shags a bit more temperamental in terms of how they respond to variations in packing and smoking techniques. This could well be a three or even four star tobacco, given the right cut.

Having said that, G,H&co. do make some excellent shag cut tobacco (Kendal Kentucky is a masterpiece), this just isn't one of them.

Having been a menthol cigarette smoker for almost 20 years I find myself drawn to the sweeter aromatics. This tobacco is no exception to that rule.

It is sold under the "Kendal Tobacco" label, manufactured by G&H. I live in Spain, but can only get this tobacco in Gibraltar, so it is probably only for the UK market. They also have a few other flavours I hope to review in the future after my next trip to Gib.

In the pouch the tobacco is a fine ribbon cut and quite moist. It lights fairly easily and stays lit throughout the bowl. On lighting, the aroma is very pleasant. To the taste there is a definite peach flavour mixed with a tone of vanilla. It leaves a very pleasant fruity taste in the mouth and behind the teeth both during and after smoking. With my favourite fruits being peach and apricot this tobacco certainly fills that criteria. The tobacco is mild, but the flavouring quite strong. Even though the tobacco is moist in the pouch, it does not burn as hot as many other aromatics I have tried and did not produce any bite whatsoever, even though I smoke quite hard - again unlike many other aromatics!

This has certainly become my favourite smoke. My only regret is that I only bought a 25g pouch to try it and now need to make a journey to stock up!
