Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Bob's Square Cut
(2.91)
A complex blend of Virginias from Brazil, Zimbabwe, and Malawi, enhanced with the addition of 8% sun-cured leaf for sweetness, 8% latakia for the character and coolness, and 2% Malawi burley for body. It is then pressed into bricks and sliced into flake form, then sliced again into small squares for easy filling. The addition of cocoa, chocolate, and vanilla essence only adds more character to an already outstanding tobacco. The resultant flake is cool burning, nicely rounded and provides superb room aroma and fantastic flavors for the smoker.
Notes: A fine cut mixture of Virginia, latakia and burley tobaccos, with chocolate, cocoa and vanilla flavorings. This is a similar blend to Bob's Chocolate Flake, but with a different cut and slightly different flavorings.

Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. - Bob's Square Cut.
The pouch contains a selection of flakes, varying in size. The aroma from the pouch is confusing, it smells slightly sweet yet the smoke's a different story. The moisture's good.
It lights up easily enough, and gives a smoke which has a perplexing flavour. Perplexing, because there's no chocolate or vanilla, but there's a waft of bitterness. A little Lakeland-like, a touch floral, some alcoholic sharpness, and outright disgusting. Of the tobaccos I get the most flavour from the Burley, the Lat's lightly applied, and the Virginia's redundant.
Nicotine: medium. Room-note: tolerable.
Very disappointing:
Not recommended.

Those who will read this review should send me an email thanking me, as I am saving you from the unpleasant experience to try this awful flake mixture, containing Burley, Virginia and Latakia. Dreadful soapiness is very intense in this blend and it is combined with a terrible smell of cheap cologne. This mixture destroys the tongue no matter how you smoke it, unless you are lucky enough and you don't light it up. Somewhere, somehow it promises a taste of chocolate but you will not find it anywhere, this I promise.
