Gawith Hoggarth & Co.: Dark Bird's Eye Vintage Cut Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 005-001-0088

Founded in Kendal, Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. has fashioned quality pipe tobacco since 1887, utilizing processes and techniques that date to 1792. The Cumbria-based company prioritizes natural tobacco flavor, and in many of their mixtures, Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. maintains the standards enforced by the United Kingdom's strict purity laws of the 19th and 20th centuries — such laws dictating how much and what type of flavorings could be added to pipe tobacco and ensuring that sub-quality leaf wasn't hidden under the veil of exorbitant toppings.

Dark Bird's Eye is a bold mixture that showcases mature Virginias and Dark-Fired Kentucky for a rich flavor profile that highlights the varietals' natural essences. While Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. has traditionally only offered shag-cut versions of their blends to the U.S. market, this Vintage Cut edition presents Dark Bird's Eye in a classic ribbon format.

Fed /watered the chickens - let them out, two flakes of hay and a quart of grain for the horse - let him out, milked the cow and need to filter and heat it... but first I'm going to take a break. This is strong but not too strong. It's perfect in a ... Read More

As you can see from my other reviews, I favor English and Balkan blends. This one may convert me. Great full flavor, good amount of vitamin N and it's easy to smoke. DBE is quickly becoming my favorite blend without Lady Lat. I like the vintage cut. ... Read More

ニコチンが強めで満足感あります。火種のコントロールは思いのほか楽で、味は重厚でまろやか。シガー的な味わいを感じる人もいるかもしれません。腰を下ろしてゆっくり味わうのに向いている逸品。

Product: Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Bird's Eye Vintage Cut Bulk
This was my first GH purchase. I have heard people talk about this "lakeland essence" but I guess I never paid close enough attention. If I had to summarize it: imagine bottling up the smell in a windowless room three days after an old man... Read More
