Gawith Hoggarth - Black Bogie (unscented).
It's quite an attractive looking rope, I think: slightly squared (like a box-pressed cigar), jet black and shiny. Due to the shine I was ready for sopping wet coins once sliced, yet they manage to smoke without lots of drying time being a requisite.
The current description of 'a true, old fashioned, stout smoke' couldn't be any more correct! I quite like it, but I can see how many folks could find it too much: it becomes a bit acrid if it's not puffed with patience, which may turn a lot of people off. Providing a gentle technique is used though, I get a pleasant enough fire-cured, smokiness from it, with a slight liquorice flavour. It burns good, and that doesn't necessitate that the rope be sliced and fully rubbed out; slice coins and give them just a gentle ruffle. Something that I'm not impressed by is the aftertaste: it tends to linger for a long time.
For nicotine, the one term that sits well is 'heavy-weight', boy, oh boy, it's strong! The room-note's not a high point: tolerable.
Objectively speaking this scores full marks, but subjectively it's too much for me. With that in mind, I think three is a fair result.
Recommended.
