Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Kendal No.6 Shag Cocoa
(2.33)
Kendal's No. 6 is a great, mellow tobacco, and thanks to the little dark fired leaf, smokes cooler than the gold. The aromatic comes with a tasty cocoa topping, giving the sweet tobacco a little extra flavor. Does bite if smoked too quickly and loosely.

No. 6 Shag-Aromatic does appear in the pouch to look like cigarette tobacco. There is little to no pouch scent at all. In the pipe it smokes with a mild added sweetness, but I wouldn’t have known it to be cocoa had it not been mentioned in the description. The Virginia takes the lead with a hint of dark fired in the background. Like many of the GH Virginia's, they offer up a little straw and wood. Unlike many other GH aromatics, No. 6 is mild in the nicotine department, only rising to a notch just below medium prior to the end of each smoke. I pack this on the firm side and have had the best results in a cob. There isn’t any complexity to this baccy either. It didn’t bite me, nor burn too warm when I packed this with care. I keep a number of GH shags in my cellar as they tend to be very “set it and forget it” type tobaccos. This is a simple blend, no doubt about that, but I found myself enjoying it more than expected, but still prefer the depth of flavor offered by some of the other GH shag cuts that offer a little more dark fired.
