Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Brown Irish Sweet Chocolate Rose
(2.00)
A real Turkish delight! Brown Irish, the thicker version of Brown Bogie is a true old fashioned stout smoke. Perfect with good strength suited to the more experienced pipe smoker. Flavoured with Chocolate and Rose.
Brown Irish Sweet Chocolate Rose - The main feature of this tobacco is the addition of inverted sugars, Chocolate and Rose to the 'filter' leaf. This is then spun into a rope form before being made into a roll which is cold-pressed overnight.

This seems to only come in small bagged samples. From the description, I was looking forward to this. I was a bit disappointed with the two samples I've tried. It was certainly Brown Irish; based on memories of Brown Irish and similar ropes, most recently of Brown Bogie, it was smoother than I expected but it wasn't sweet and the chocolate was fairly faint and the rose even less so. They were there, barely, for me. Perhaps I smoke too much Grasmere to appreciate a lighter touch with the florals. Recommended for fans of Brown Irish and similar ropes who might enjoy some light Lakeland flavors as well. Others stay far away.

The Virginia is boldly earthy with a dark fruit taste. I believe some Kentucky burley is also present because I continually sense a nutty earthiness that I associate with it. I get a little cocoa, not as much as I expected, but it's smooth and creamy in a rather minor role. The floral rose essence is very noticeable, more at the front than the finish, but even at the end, its presence is obvious. While the toppings do mute the tobacco flavor, you'll definitely get the latter in every puff to various degrees. Has a decent nic-hit. Needs some dry and prep time as G&H ropes normally will. Burns slow and requires relights. The moisture level in the bowl depends on how you dry it. I leave a little moisture in the tobacco, but can smoke it to ash. Will ghost a briar. Not so strong that you couldn't repeat it during your smoking day, but it's not an all day smoke. Has a very pleasant after taste and the room note doesn't scare away your women or your cats. Three and a half stars.
