Gawith Hoggarth - Dark Plug Rose Geranium.
This comes as a very dense plug, when I set to preparing mine I had to put a fresh blade into my knife as it wasn't cutting it and that blade was quite new! When I have mine prepared I sample the aroma, my God it smells strong. The Rose Geranium topping comes across with so much fervour that it's like cheap perfume! If I take a puff on the pipe whilst unlit it gives me an almost warning of how floral this is going to taste, and once lit I realize that the 'dry draw' wasn't kidding! Try to picture, if you will, smoking a bottle of Chanel No 5!! The floral topping is that strong it totally hides what types of leaf I'm smoking, it could be a bowl of Earl Grey tea soaked in perfume for all I know! I suppose I should mention a couple of positives now to try to give the blend some redemption! The burn is a good one that gives a fairly cool smoke. Next we'll talk about tongue bite, a very relaxed/non-biting smoke. Nicotine now, medium to strong which is a strength that appeases my nic' wants. Sadly there is another negative that comes to fruition more when the pipes done, my mouth has a taste of roses in it that is simply disgusting!
Not for me.
