Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. No. 12 Mixture
(3.04)
A blend of flue cured bright Virginias from Malawi, Zimbabwe and Brazil and latakia from Cyprus. With this blend you not only have to like latakia, you have to positively "crave" the taste as this blend contains 45%. This is the best selling mixture in the US, by a comfortable margin.

I tried this based on the manufacturer's description that #12 contains 45% Latakia. And I like my English blends with Latakia, yessir.
Appearance: practically a sea of tan, with specks of dark brown and black. There are ribbons and coarse cut tobacco in here. The ribbons are long-ish, but #12 was no trouble to pack. Pouch aroma is unremarkable. Upon lighting, I got the Virginias right away, whoosh. There's no soap or floral component, just straight VAs.
And then I waited. It's pleasant, elegant, and just not what I expected. No Latakia elements came forth. I just finished my fourth bowl and all tasted the same. Sorry G&H, this just isn't for me.
