I was rather disappointed in this blend. After smoking several bowls in different pipes I have come to the conclusion that the tobacco has a rather weak taste though it is very strong. I have tried many GH blends and this one is at the bottom! I love the “soapy” taste that most of there blends have and in that department this one receives a one out of ten. It has a reminiscent hint of it but completely looses it when lit. The tobacco is very finely cut into thin ribbons and lights up rather quickly. It also stayed lit very nicely and with minimal fuss which was nice. The charring light lent a hint of sweetness due to the Cavendish tobacco. It was a little spicy towards the middle of the bowl and finished with a strong bang. I really like strong tobaccos and this blend had that, what it lacked was something to draw me back to it!

Gawith Hoggarth - No.5 Mixture.
There seems to be quite a mix of different opinions regarding how to rate this blend, that intrigued and endeared me to it!
My first impressions were good; the blend looked decent in the bag, was nicely hydrated and gave off a non-offensive aroma. I felt even more interested in it! So I loaded one of my Pete's and began a smoke. Oh dear, that's when it all started to go wrong!
I don't particularly get any extra sort of taste, nor sadly to I get much in the way of natural flavour, what I do get is a heavy, clotted, sticky sensation in my mouth which is most unpleasant. Unpleasant to the point of being disgusting. To be negative again: I think the smoke is too hot. I get an even burn but it's too damn hot. Another negative: it bites me....hard. The room note is okay and the nicotine's not bad but they aren't enough to help the rating.
Not recommended.
