Gawith Hoggarth & CO. - Seasonal Reserve 2020.
I got this when it was released about a month ago but couldn't write a review straight off as at the time it was still pending approval. No worries, I had more time to think my review through, first!
Removing the lid, which included a decent 'hiss', presents a ribbon cut blend incorporating more brown than black; it's about 25% black Cavendish. It smells more of cherries than anything else, but seeing as cherries have, naturally, more fervour than nuts and vanilla this isn't a surprise! Perfectly moist, ready for a smoke without airing.
As I prejudicated the cherries are on top where the toppings go. That doesn't mean the others are bullied into total submission, I get a pleasing, slight viscidity from the vanilla and a light dose of almonds. Where the tobaccos are concerned I get more of the dark Virginias than bright; rich and fruity-sweet. There's a spot of breadiness from the bright Va, but little sharpness. Behind these, next in line, sits the Burley. Quite toasty, almost caustic, and very dry. There's a slight cooling from the black Cavendish and a scintilla of smoke from the curing. I find there's a very substantial, reliable burn, with no tongue bite to be obtained; IMO.
Nicotine: below medium. Room-note: couldn't offend anybody 😉
Seasonal Reserve? Shame this is a limited edition. I'd enjoy this all year; as an evening smoke! So, it deserves 4 stars:
Highly recommended.

Straight out the tin, the sweet notes of the nuts, cherries, and marzipan are very pleasant.. I've been experimenting with a few other aromatics (mostly HG) and this one taste most similarly to the smell out of the tin. The initial tasting notes came off to me as like a more creamy maraschino cherry, by the last 1/3-1/4th of the bowl, the smokier, woody, nuttier more ''tobacco (manly?)'' taste comes out, balancing the sweetness from earlier, leaving a naturally sweet cherry/almondy after taste. Would pick up a few more tins to stock over the year! P.s, (with the first smoke, I left the tin opened and went boxing, smokes just fine just being slightly drier than its original condition)
