Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. No. 7 Broken Flake
(3.33)
This is virtually a blend reversal of Coniston Cut Plug with 75% flue cured Virginia. 16 % dark fired, and 9% burley. The blend therefore has far milder characteristics; and is rounded off with the addition of typical English flavours, and a touch of vanilla.
Notes: Lakeland style broken flake composed of Virginia and burley tobaccos. Topped slightly with vanilla to enhance the natural sweet aromas of the pressed, steamed Virginia intertwined with the floral notes of the burley which permeate from the same process.

Tin note for me was sweet floral with citrus, nice. I like the cut also, rubbed out slightly. A little damp, although I don't dry it out so it takes a minute to get it going. The floral Lakeland essence is prominent but not excessive. This is good, since Lakeland is what I signed up for. What sets this one apart is the addition of vanilla, which adds a sweetness that compliments the floral component. It also smokes cool, and might need a relight. Room note is nice as well.

Mix it with Erinmore mixture and it becomes the BLAKEMAR mix and its superb all day smoke - makes it a nutty sweet - but not over sweet, smoke, with a stunning room note, and very pleasant taste! I would not be without some in my stock.

very fine virginia, in combination with a rather discreet dark fired and some burley to round it off. the scent seems rather overwhelming in the pouch aroma, but is a lot less massive when the tobacco is lit - and the broken flakes pack and light easily. during the smoke, the virginia slowly comes to the foreground, and around the 2/3 mark, it actually does taste a bit like gallaher's rich dark honeydew. only a bit, though, and not enough to justify it being reccommended "for those who enjoyed gallaher's rdh", as one vendor puts it.
it's a quality smoke, no doubt, but i do feel that it would be more to my taste with a little less flavouring.

Have just finished sampling a variety of G & H lightly flavored tobaccos. DVC was too harsh and one dimensional for my taste; Glengarry remained too flavored throughout for my palate and nose; #7 Broken Flake was very good for someone who prefers non-flavored virginias. The initial few minutes of the smoke revealed some of the mild flavorings in this tobacco that were in fact pleasing to my senses, but these soon dissipated and what remained was a very pleasant, tasty, and enjoyable smoke. For a change of pace for us pure virginia lovers, this one will most certainly satisfy your palate.
