Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Rum Twist Unsliced Rope
(3.33)
From Pipes&Cigars website: Sweet Rum Twist is made of the same tobaccos as Black and Brown Irish X, with a sweet rum topping. The flavor is lightly noticeable in the flavor, by not readily apparent in the aroma. This is a full-bodied smoke that shouldn't be treated like a typical aromatic.

Gawith Hoggarth Virginia ropes are great. I like straight Virginia and they do the best. You can't get anything close to what they make. For me it hard to find so when I was able I grab a 100gr and have it jarred. The rum add just a slight sweetness. Mostly it's just strong Virginia done only like G&H can do it. Any lover of strong and straight Virginia will enjoy this blend. Also recommend Sweet Maple Twist.

The presentation is great. Looks kind of like a coiled cigar. It smells funky with a touch of sweetness.
The taste is the closest thing a pipe blend comes to a cigar. I did not really get much rum in the taste. The smoke gets really dense, and there is kind of a smokiness to the taste, with wood notes, and a dark and grainy sweetness. It is in no way saccharine-like, not flue-cured-like, or cane sugar sweet. You also really have to sip this and take your time, which can be frustrating, to get the sweetness.
You have to do a bit of work to get the combustion right. This comes moist, and you should dry it just a little. It's not supposed to be easy, and if the tobacco is too dry it will lose some flavor.
The strength is maybe medium. The taste is medium. The nicotine is medium to high. I would always smoke this in smaller pipes and it was fine. I would recommend this to the person that likes other twist tobaccos or cigars. Somewhat recommended.
