Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Kendal Cherry Menthol
(2.00)
Kendal mixed is a tobacco which if smoked with a little care, rewards the smoker with an earthy and sweet hay like smoke. The addition of ice cool Cherry Menthol, unlike the other flavoured shag blends, this is very powerful. A nice medium strength tobacco, which is ideal for those looking for a cheap daytime tobacco and it doesn’t matter if you only smoke half a bowl. Great for those moving from cigarettes to the pipe.

Presentation: I purchased this in a big plain green 500g bag. I've seen many G&H blends in this same exact bag, the only difference being the label.
Cut: Standard Shag cut. Moisture level is right in the middle. It is soft to the touch and not crunchy bone dry but also leaves no moisture or stickiness on your hands after handling.
Tin note: Smells exactly like how you would expect, given the name of the blend.
Tasting notes: On some draws the cherry will be the primary note and some others, the menthol. The finish of every puff will have a subtle grassy, bready note. The cherry and menthol will become more subtle toward the end of the bowl.
Mechanics: Do not retrohale this with reckless abandon! The menthol is sharp and might make your eyes water. You might need to run a few pipe cleaners through the pipe throughout the bowl.
Extra Remarks: Perhaps not for everyone, but I found it quite nice, and a change up from other blends I smoke more often. I am very particular about aromatics but this actually tastes how it smells, unlike many other aromatics. Not to mention it is EXCEPTIONAL value at approximately $0.13 per gram (approximately $3.60 per ounce). For all that I must say it is a very solid blend. 3 stars.
