Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. American Blend Whiskey

Nice flavour of the sweet whisky casing. Generally very sweet and round, but you might as well buy some Werthers Original. I do miss other flavours than the casing, so this is not for me. As far as a mild-tasting American style aromatic goes, I guess it's perhaps what you'd expect. It is not a strong tobacco in terms of nicotine, but because of its mild taste, it is easy to forget that the nicotine hit is not far from average. It is wet and leaves some moisture in the bowl, but that's only to be expected from a this blend style. Tricky to light due to moisture level. No bite whatsoever and no foul taste. But what is there to love, really?

Try it if this is your type of blend, but as always I advice people to try a Danish style aromatic instead of an American style. Those are much less sticky and wet, and therefore deliver cleaner taste, both of the casing and the underlying tobaccos. Try for instance Solani 131 Red Label.

As for me, I never finished the pouch I bought, as this is not really my cup of tea. And since none of my pipe smoking friends want it eiter, It goes in the bin. Need the jar. Harsh, but we're talking pure cost-benefit analysis here.
