Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Brown Twist Sliced
(3.52)
All our twist tobacco varieties are manufactured by the same spinning process using dark fired wrapper leaves. The filler is again, predominantly dark fired leaf with the addition of a small percentage of dark air cured Indian leaf. They are therefore strong tobaccos. Same as Black Twist but "the brown form"... comes straight from the spinning machine, instead of undergoing a further process of cooling under pressure to turn it into black tobacco.

This is the sliced form of GH Brown Twist. The strongest tobacco I have ever tried. I don't like this style of tobak, which seems more like stuff you would try once on a dare. Nonetheless, I have had some success mixing a TINY portion of this in with a weak-flavored, good-smelling aromatic for a "crowd pleaser" with a bit of taste.

Well I did what I normally say not to do, I experimented. I ordered Brown and Black twist Aromatic. Only because I was looking for a replacement for EA Carey’s sliced black twist. I actually ordered Aromatic by mistake and pleased I did. Great taste. Perfect tobacco. I ordered Gawith and Hoggarth snuff as well, and that was the best snuff ever. Best SP and Camphor & menthol.

02/02/09 This is still one of the best inmo. Please try a blend that I love...1 part sliced brown & 1 part prince albert. I like to bring the sliced brown up to a moisture content not by a certain percentage but rather by feel, prior to blending. I use a sponge rinsed thoroughly with distilled water. I squeeze the rinsed sponge until no water drips from the hand. Next I take 1 oz of Brown sliced and deposite the sponge 2x2 inches square into a bowl w/ the tobacco. I the cover the bowl w/ plastic wrap. I toss the tobacco once per hour until the brown sliced has a nice spring to it. I then remove and cut with scissors until the consistency, where easily mixed with an equal part of prince albert. Please try, it is heavenly.
I really smoke alot of this, and other blends from G&H. This is just brown twist sliced into thin wheels, with some sporadic ribbon amongst the other. I love this tobacco and its light floral essence it exudes. This tobacco burns clean and smokes very fast. I'm not bothered by the nicotine in this blend, as others have stated. Try this blend for yourself and experience what I call "the heroin of pipe tobacco." This smoke is truly intoxicating.

This is by far the strongest tobacco I have ever tried. This review is based upon fewer smoking experiences than I usually reserve, both due to my desire to get my thoughts down about it, and the infrequency with which I plan to smoke it. It is an interesting and unique smoke. It is challenging, and much stronger than I typically go it for.
The first bowl of this that I tried had to be put down part way through, in order to prevent the room from escaping stability on a rampaging carousel. The second time, I smoked this is a very small lattice meer prince, group 1 in size.
Appearance: The tobacco comes in small cut discs, about the size of a dime. These are a medium brown in color, with darker centers and light stems. Received almost bone dry and crumbly, I rehydrated this tobacco by lightly crumbling it, holding it in the palm of my closed hand, and blowing through my hand. This gave enough pliability to adequately pack the small group 1 bowl.
Initial light gives a quick floral scent and an insight into the very deep and rich flavor of this tobacco.
This is a tobacco that must be carefully sipped, both to avoid the nicotine punch that it can deliver quickly, as well as protect from bite. Even when not biting, this tobacco can roughen the palate quickly. Even in the small group 1 bowl, usually a 10-15 minute smoke, this blend took a solid 35 minutes. The side stream smoke is very cigar-like in quality. There is ample opportunity to notice this, as the tobacco burns very slowly, creating a long lasting bowl from event he smallest tobacco chambers. Ashy flavors are common from the high tar presence.
The aftertaste from this tobacco is lingering and sweet.
Whether due to poor packing of the dry tobacco, slow smoke, or small conical bowl, I found this to require a greater number of relights than usual.
Flavor 85/100 and very full. Smoking characteristics 50/100 with negative marks for relights ashy characteristics and impact on the mouth. Overall: 75/100 influenced positively by superb flavor and unique qualities.
