Gawith, Hoggarth produce a small range of excellent quality shag tobacccos (Kendal Kentucky, Dark Birdseye, Kendal Dark, Kendal Mixed & Kendal Light (also called Kendal Gold)). The Dark, Mixed and Light are also available with a huge range of added flavours which I intend to work my way through over the coming months.
Banana up first and it's an odd one...
First of all, the quality of the leaf is above reproach, although the taste of the unflavoured gold is a bit flat for my preferences this seems to make it well suited to working with added flavours.
The added flavour here is very natural so look elsewhere for banana candy tobacco. The strange thing is that the taste they have given it isn't of the flesh of a banana but the dry tasting pith that you find between the skin and the meat. It really is an excellent and exact representation of it but when I want a banana I eat the meat not the pith... (You could say the flavour takes the pith!!!! Sorry...).
As with all shag cuts packing in stages with more than usual firmness gives an effort free and long lasting smoke. Overall this is a good tobacco with many perfect smoking qualities and as for the taste; it's not horrible but you really have to be ok with it because it is constantly very present in the smoke.
It's odd but not bad. I can't see myself buying it again though.
