The strong, earthy Virginias have a bit of tangy dark fruit, a light tart and tangy citrus and vegetative, floral grass, some wood, herbs, and a few cigar notes. The deep, sweet rum topping and sugars tone down the tobaccos just a mite, and hold on to the finish. It's full in strength and taste. The nic-hit is a little past the medium mark. Won’t bite or get harsh, but has a minor rough edge at times. No matter how you prepare it, it will burn slow, cool, and clean with mostly consistent flavor. Leaves a little moisture in the bowl, and requires a fair number of relights. Has a pleasantly lingering after taste, and room note. Not an all day smoke.

Gawith Hoggarth - Brown Twist Sweet Rum.
Here we have a very thick rope. I'm talking about two CM across! Sadly it's too damp. It is in need a decent airing prior to smoking it otherwise you will struggle to create a good, consistent and even burn. The rope gives off a strong aroma of rum which is more pre-eminent than in the smokes flavour.
It burns well, providing it's been aired right. Actually, I tried a bowl without drying it and it was near impossible to keep lit! The flavour is brilliant. As I said earlier the aroma from the rope has a stronger rum addition but it is still easily recognizable as being present. As it burns I think it's fair to say it leaves the whitest ash behind I have ever seen! The smoke is unimpeachable in the area of bite. I get absolutely zero in the way of tongue hurt! Another good area is the temperature of the smoke. Cool, cool, cool. If you like N then fill your bowl with this. On the other hand though, if you smoke for taste only then walk away from it!
As a rule I can't say I normally enjoy alcohol flavoured blends but this however suits me like tailored clothing! Four stars without a doubt.

Solid and bold flavor when puffing slowly.Strong tobacco and not an all day smoke. Flavoring is very mild and staying in background. Will not bite or harsh. Leaving so moisture in the bowl. Overall very good tobacco and highly recommended at least to try for everybody.
