Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Gawith Red
(2.85)
The first Idea of GH was to do a replacement for Amphora Red in the U.K. The Pipe Club of London as well as other Pipesmoker Clubs tested it and found it very similar. This Air Cured mixture consists of Burley, Kentucky, Oriental and Virginia, all first grade tobaccos. Smell the whiff of pure fruit blossom we've added. This enhanced smoking pleasure is due to our unique Cavendish process, which reveals the richest properties of this special blend: fresh, sweet, and slow burning.

I first tried this last Saturday, at the May meeting of the Pipe Club of London at the Thatcher's Arms in Essex, where it was the tobacco used in the Radford Cup slow-smoking competition. I was impressed, and ordered some, which arrived today. It is described on the pouch as an aromatic, consisting of VAs and Burleys, with "the rich aroma" - by which I take it they mean a casing - "of fresh fruit and caramel". It is said to be a replacement for, and imitation of, Amphora. I wouldn't know, having never tried that tobacco: these notes are based on this tobacco alone. In appearance, it is medium-cut, a mixture of light to mid brown. The smell is strong and fruity. The taste is mild, slightly sweet, fairly rich, with distinct hints of dried fruit and leather. Recommended - sometimes I want something with more oomph than this, when I'll go for a lat or a perique, but this is ideal for the other times, when I want something mild but not boring.
