Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Black Cherry Twist
(2.52)
This is a twist made from the same ingredients as the Black and Brown Irish X. It has additional Black Currant flavoring added during manufacture. Again, this is a very strong tobacco as it does not undergo the pressure cooking process.

This is a nice rope, but it could have been better. Along with the very mild black cherry flavor is an equal amount of Lakeland floral. They combine to create a flavor that, while not unpleasant, doesn't really resemble black cherry, which is the flavor I wanted when I bought this. Would it kill these guys to leave out the florals just once? Anyway, despite the flavor combo, it's still a good, solid smoke. The tobacco flavor is the typical GH Virginia rope that I have an affinity for. Kinda generic, but very tasty. This would have been 4 stars without the florals. As is only 3.
Medium in body. Medium to full in taste. Mild in flavoring. Burns well after some drying time.

Quite nice. I find the flavoring to be perfectly applied and it persists throughout the bowl, whisping in and out. Strong, but not overwhelmingly so. Didn't have to put it down like I have had to with the brown twists. No "motor oil" taste like some of the black twists. I like this stuff. I've sliced it into 1/8th inch rounds and rubbed out, dried well.
I'll smoke the rest of the ounce that I have and decide whether I'll purchase more. Probably will...

First I had to slice off a few slices of this tobacco, and rub it out. I did not let it dry. This is a very strong tobacco, not for the meek! It is a pain in the but to get it ready to smoke, but I like this tobacco. The casing is hardly noticable. I Recommend this tobacco. At least give it a try if you like a tobacco that punches you in the gut!

I guess I'm the dissenting opinion here. I sliced two thin coins from the rope and stuffed them in a small to medium lovat dedicated to Virginia blends. It lit right away and I tasted tobacco, smooth as silk, but full. The cherry is hiding and only appears intermittently, nothing like the other descriptions here. I smoked slowly and it did go out once due to my inattentiveness, but the relight was easy. I didn't relight immediately after it went out as I was being cautious about the high nicotine content. It accompanied an Ommegang Belgian-style Pale Ale. Neither overpowered the other. I have to add, this is one of the smoothest tobaccos I've ever smoked. There weren't any nuanced flavors other than the occasional whiff of topping; it started and ended tasting about the same. I liked it.
