Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Revor Plug
(3.75)
A blend of flue and fire cured tobaccos pressed and baked into a glossy black bar. Favoured by experienced pipesmokers who demand a strong cool satisfying smoke.
Notes: Revor Plug was originally an own label product made in the SCWS (Scottish Cooperative Wholesale Society ) factory in Glasgow, and sold only through Scottish Cooperative stores. Production was moved to the CWS (Cooperative Wholesale Society) factory in Manchester, and when the CWS stopped tobacco manufacture it was taken over by Manchester Tobacco. MT was taken over in it's turn by Japan Tobacco who eventually closed their manufacturing operations in the UK in the 2000s. Before this happened though production of Revor had been moved to GH in Kendal.

I'm not a fan of overly topped or artificial aromatic blends so when first smelling this upon opening I was taken aback by the strong scent of Tonquin which comes across tangy and citrusy. When slicing and breaking up this plug comes apart like a cake and easily packed with minimal need for drying time. The topping comes through as a caramel and vanilla flavour when lit but not in your face with either and the taste fluctuates throughout the smoke. The great tobacco itself hits the mark every time and the balance between the topping and the tobacco is pitch perfect.
