Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Coniston Cut Plug

Unfortunately this stuff has changed, flavouring is the same but is applied in lesser quantities. The real gamechanger here is the change of Dark Fired leaf. It used to be very bold, earthy, leathery spicy. Now DFK are much more mellow mild, there's some leather and chocolate there. It really is quite similar to the new version of SG 1792 flake. Coniston used to be a 4 star smoke, now I'm dropping it to 3 because it lost it's initial appeal, but it's still quality tobacco and someone will surely love it as it is. I can't really blame G&H for making changes to the blend because the demand for their tobaccos has skyrocketed.

Not personally detecting any Lakeland essence with this one; baby powder or what have you from other’s reviews I’ve tried it once folded and stuffed and now trying it rubbed out, Also expected it to hit me harder. Probably worth noting I’m relatively new to Lakeland blends, having only tried a tin of Ennerdale Flake prior Still on the fence about this one. I purchased a 1oz sample on a whim so I’ll have to try a couple more bowls. It’s a nice tobacco; Not bad my any means, just not sure that it’s anything noteworthy or worthy of a repeat buy.

Cómo es de rigor en estás revisiones lo primero que hay que señalar es que los Lakeland no tienen termino medio: o te gustan o los aborreces. En mi caso hay algunos que no terminan nunca de enamorarme y en principio habría que decir que casi ninguno son tabacos para todo el día. Para aquellos que aborrecen estás mezclas me gustaría decir que, más allá de la subjetividad de los gustos, las labores de gawith & hoggarth me merecen el mayor de los respetos ya que está es una casa centenaria que sigue elaborando sus mezclas de la misma exacta manera, en el mismo sitio y con las mismas maquinarias desde finales del 1800. Escencialmente famosos por su rapé hoy han recuperado para sí a su hermana gemela Samuel gawith, lo cual me parece también una buena noticia (incluso están intentando sembrar su propio tabaco). Coniston es una de sus famosas mezclas. Un plug de virginias y burley cortado el flake, con buena humedad y aroma herbáceo y floral. Es una mezcla fuerte que se quema muy lenta y requiere varios reencendidos. No produce demasiada humedad, tien un sabor pleno y una nota de habitación típica de las clásicas labores británicas de antaño. Yo la siento bastante próxima al Bosun y junto al Enerdale son las que más me gustan de esta casa.

Hi everyone have a question regards coniston cut plug keeping it very short..has anyone mixed this baccy with similar bacs like Irish flake or enerdale. I would love to hear about such mixing I hope I'm not off thread here but I'm new to these forum's I'm getting to old to take the chance on doing it myself without maybe someone's help regards coniston plug it's the plain English not the aromatic one l have always stuck with Irish flake to be honest but bought a tin of coniston cut plug it's not worlds away from Irish flake or enerdale so was wondering what the mixture ratios would work if at ALL work so to speak thanks sorry about waffeling on Mr Bob UK

Less flavoured than his 'brother' Ennerdale, Coniston has - I think - the soapy note (the typical Kendal scent) used for the great GH Balkan Mixture. That is enough to make it a great tobacco, like all the production Gawith Hoggarth. 4,0/5 in my personal rating system.
