Gawith Hoggarths Dark Flake is a popular tobacco among those who a full smoking experience, in both body and flavour. Comprised of fired and dark air cured Virginias, before being hot pressed in cakes (uncut plug). The Un Scented version (U/S) is popular in both flake and plug form, but as with all tobaccos from Gawith Hoggarth they can be flavoured. This “Aromatic” blend is given a traditional “British” topping which consists of Tonquin, Maple and Liquorice.
As you would expect with the Dark Flake, this tobacco is powerful with a strong spicy and musky flavour. The toppings enhance the almost cigar like flavour and bring a little brightness into play. This slowly fades as you make your way through the bowl, leaving the final half more a natural taste. Dark flake packs a real punch in the nicotine department and we not suggested for those new to pipe smoking.

I just got this in the post this morning and wow it is truly and utterly fantastic. As well as the strong smoky tobacco flavour, it is dominated by delicious florals that remind me of the honeysuckle that grows along the coast of Pembrokeshire in the late Summer. There is also a very clear, sweet, juicy rose in there and hints of chocolate which give it an almost Turkish Delight quality, which itself is most apparent in the tin note. Perhaps my favourite thing about it is how thick bodied and creamy the smoke is, not to mention the fantastic nicotine buzz I’m feeling right now. 9/10, I’m looking forward to continue smoking this and trying some other lakeland florals that I will be buying soon (conniston, bosun, aromatic brown flake). Majestic!
