Product Description

A powerful and full flavoured plug 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.

When sold as a block, this tobacco keeps more of the oils in and the tobacco will keep for long and mature faster. To keep the moisture within the plug, only cut off what you want, when you want. This tobacco is also sold in Flake form if you want a quick and easy solution.

  1. Smooth 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 30th Aug 2023

    If you like a good strong, but unbelievably smooth tobacco, that tastes like tobacco without added flavouring and perfumes, or any “cigar” notes, this is well worth a try, for myself, it was love at first pipe. This is a man’s tobacco, it’s not for the faint hearted or for those who like a mild smoke. This tobacco will stay fresh, due to it’s natural oils, and will stay workable for a very long time. Certainly not an all day smoke, in my humble opinion, but can be enjoyed in the evening in a small pipe. I find one or two pipe’s in the evening, a perfect way to round off the day.


  2. Superb 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 3rd Jul 2023

    I prefer to smoke this in the evening but I have been known to light this up first thing in the morning after which, I don’t need a smoke for some time. A beautiful plug that keeps its moisture content well and requires little to no drying, easy to work with, a sharp knife will give you razor thin slices which I prefer to rub out, slow burning, never harsh and full of vitamin N so only a small bowl is required. The choice and blend of leaf is impeccable and proof positive of the master blenders of G&H. I can’t comment on the room note as my sense of smell is limited but the taste and flavour is of a smooth, slightly creamy Tobbacco taste. If you’re not a fan of “soapy / perfume” tobaccos, you need not worry, this is just straightforward honest tobacco and one that sorts the men from the boys. As I’m writing this, I’m actually salivating at the thought of the next pipe of this splendid tobacco.


  3. My favourite 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 9th Nov 2017

    Absolute magic. Nothing is as pleasant as a nice bowl of dark plug after a night shift. It's very powerful and full of flavour. I don't smoke that often, so when I do I want to notice.


  4. Very strong, very good, one of a kind. 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 24th Jun 2015

    This is potent tobacco, as far as aroma, nicotine, and flavor. Amazing stuff. Numerous ways to prepare it, experiment and find which best suits your taste. Am very fortunate to be able to acquire it here in the States. I've got a fair bit sealed in jars. Enjoy!
