A powerful and full flavoured flake tobacco, which has been popular for Gawith Hoggarth in all forms, for centuries. Made from equal part of Malawi Dark Fired and Indian Dark Air Cured, this tobacco is cold pressed for over a week. The resulting black tobacco has a deep and earthy aroma, with rich and pungent smoky smell. To smoke this tobacco is packed full of nicotine and all the complex flavours you would expect. From the leathery, smoky, cigar like flavours of the fire cured, to the earthy, woody and spice from the dark air cured.
The pressed plug is then sliced into flakes, we find for the best results to fold the flake into the pipe. Allowing the pipe to sit, filled for 30 minuets before lights, results in a smooth and cool smoke. The time in the bowl, dries the top layer a little, making it easier to light and keep lit.
