Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Aromatic
(3.83)
A very strong, but very cool smoke is the result of combining in equal proportions only Malawi Dark Fired Leaf and Indian dark air-cured leaf. After maturing through processing and stoving, Gawith Hoggarth applies the traditional British flavors of licorice, maple and tonquin bean.

Wow that's a kick in the pants. It smells, well not good in the bag. The first drags felt like I had accidentally smoked black pepper. Then it smoothed out a bit. I'm pretty new to pipe smoking but it reminded me of a Camel unfiltered at first. Lol
Very cool smoke. God help the guy who freight trains this blend.
Average number of relights. I don't taste licorice or anything else decernable in flavors. I do get a hint of vegetable taste and it's not unpleasant. Gives a rich smoke. It's thick and satisfying in it's way. Very mild sweetness in the back.
I can see this kind of blend growing on someone. A bit tough for my newbie pallet but absolutely not low quality.
Definitely need to smoke this one slooow.
I'll finish this bowl and revisit it in a couple weeks.

Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake Aromatic - I tried the Dark Flake unscented a couple years ago and wasn’t all that impressed but it wasn’t bad either, just too strong . I wondered if I would like the aromatic better and I do . I received a couple oz in bulk and it was at perfect moisture . Rubbed out easily . It burns great and is very smooth . There is some sweetness and it is smokey and vegative , earthy and easy to smoke . I detect the tonquin and a little licorice but they add to the rich flavor of the tobacco . It smelled of floral lakelands in the bag but I get almost none in the smoke . I get a little chocolate also and some nuttiness. A really hearty but pleasant smoke . I guess I have come a long way in 2 yrs . I like this a lot but you can better believe I will put this bowl down when I start to feel it! 3

Jar note: mostly strong licorice, I think. Smoke isn't sweet to speak of, think I taste mostly licorice. Doesn't inspire tears of joy as Kendal Flake might, but it is very good. Tends to compact and has some trouble burning if you crank down on it too hard. Kind of underwhelming though in comparison, but maybe that's not fair. It is its own thing; someone described it as being savory, and I think that's accurate.
