Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Westmorland Slices

Well, this a baccy that stress me a lot! Let me explain: I'm a sucker of Hoggarth & Gawith as well as HU tobaccos. I basically grew up with them: all Lakelands and their essence are like fresh air for me, from Ennerdale to Grasmere, not to mention Bob's Chocolate or Conistong cut plug (my first choices).
I bought Westmorland from Synjeco with a very light heart. Another winner, for sure. I loaded one of my trusty Bang pipes and I went lost in space!? Unfortunately, not in the good way as I hoped. I found the almost jet-black loose flakes quite enticing to my view. Easy to stuff or broken but the aftermath wasn’t that expected.
Really dull, neither strong nor soapy ( I realised immediately that Westmorland wasn’t a companion of the most scented GHs so I didn’t expect anything similar). Virginias are top-notch but I cannot discover the right amalgam, like a good red wine that doesn’t marry a good food. Honestly I was let down! Was I?
Ok, I thought, knowing the quality of GH and my esteem for their products a second attempt/chance was a must. I left the baccy in a jar for few months and today I tried it again.
At no avail, I would say. Again a very dull, flat result… I cannot detect any kind of interesting stuff to mention and I fancy it’s a pity. Other Briar-Brothers made high praise and I consider them more ‘evolved ' in their palettes than myself.
What may I say? De gustibus non disputandum est (tastes are peculiar) the old Latin say.
I’m happy (to certain extent) that even super-humans at GH make mistakes, they’re human beings then!
Sorry chaps, not my cup of tea.
