Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Cherry & Vanilla

I bought a small pouch of this tobacco when I went to see the Lace Wars re-enactment at Cromford Mill last year. Pleasant taste and smell coming from my clay pipe; one of my favourite pipe tobacco blends. Not too strong either, not like Condor!

I recently ordered some Very Cherry from Lane to make some Hobbit's Weed and decided to grab another cherry blend for scientific research. I might add, I am rethinking my cherry aversion, since this one smelled fantastic as well. Seriously delicious vanilla and cherry vapors arose from the bag. It honestly could of been candy, vanilla coke, or a ice cream soda float in the bag... it was that convincing.

The fairly sticky, mostly Cavendish blend met a brief delay during ignition, but things got rolling soon after. The noted cherry recedes somewhat, but never completely fades, as there was always more to taste than just sugary vanilla. This was a light candy infused Aromatic, so non believers beware. The flavor never became "chemicaly", nor was the Cavendish stewed into nicotine-free mush.

While I appreciated Lane's Very Cherry for it's pure cherry juice, I would rather have a bag of this stuff, as I could see myself not tiring as quickly from the topping. Get a big bag though, as another reviewer pointed out, it tends to burn quickly.

The toppings are full, yet not as overbearing as similar blends. If you are looking to have some desert without any bite, and want an upgrade to the grocery store cherry pouch, you won't go wrong here.

Scent is very pleasent and promissing but taste is not what I have excpected. OK, but not my favo. New to pipe smoking. But I will absolutltly enyoy the rest of the box.

I ordered a 10G sample of this. I've smoked a couple of bowls of it so far, and it's OK. It's pleasant. I'm not going to make a detailed review, it's just pretty typical aromatic tobacco. Always wish the flavours were stronger.

The aroma of the tobacco is great. But the taste doesn't correspond to the aroma. It is harsh and taste as burnt three leaves. Medium body

when you open the pouch you are hit with a very strong pleasant smell of cherry and vanilla.very moist and real pain to light.reminds me of cherry coke.i find this blend is flat.the room aroma is strong.cherry is not for me.

Smells beautiful out of the pouch, but doesnt smoke very well. I found this a real pain to light evenly, and to keep lit. Every so often you get lovely taste of the smooth cherry and vanilla, but more often than not it is just a flat and unpleasant smoke. Bites like a b!tch too. Sad, because there are the occasional notes of beauty from this, but not common enough to make it worth the effort.

As the prior review stated, the smoke is very flat and uninteresting.

Vanilla & cherry coke in a pipe, although the soft drink may burn better.

Though the smell of the tobacco when being packed is of a very strong cherry smell with a tiny hint of vaniler. The smoke its self is very flat and generaly uninteresting though does burn quite cool.
