    Anybody Like Gawith Shag Cut?

    RYO is hand rolling tobacco - taxed completely differently in the UK and the UK government sets the cut of the tobacco. RYO or hand rolling tobacco is much finer than shag tobacco. Shag is a type of pipe tobacco, it can be not as coarse as your usual mixtures but is a ribbon cut pipe tobacco...

    Anybody Like Gawith Shag Cut?

    But again certainly in the UK and Europe, RYO is different from shag. Of course people hand roll and smoke shag tobaccos and sometimes pipe tobaccos, but legally and for tax reasons shag is different from RYO.

    Anybody Like Gawith Shag Cut?

    Kendal dark (which is a shag cut) is the same as Dark Birds Eye and Kendal Kentucky (latter discontinued).

    Anybody Like Gawith Shag Cut?

    Just to clarify, there is a usual shag range - this is your Kendal Gold, Dark, Mixed. This is what is termed a shag cut for the UK and most of the world. HOWEVER for America, shag cut is more the norm and we produce most of our blends as a shag cut just for America. We do not do this for...

    Strong Blends, Gentle on the Throat and Sinuses?

    Not quite. They morphed into one blend years ago. And all but Kendal Dark have been discontinued some time ago for the UK and rest of the world. DBE was carried on for the USA market only, whilst sales of Kendal Dark were increased and people were aware to buy Kendal Dark.

    Hi

    It is?????? There is a Samuel Gawith range of tobaccos, there is a Gawith Hoggarth Exclusive range of tobaccos. Two different things.

    G&H Rumors to Confirm or Dispell

    Already explained a number of times.

    Hoowee, GH Kendal Kentucky!

    We didn't. Kendal Kentucky was discontinued a while back. In the UK and rest of the world only Kendal Dark has been sold for a while. It is only in the US, it was decided to continue with DBE for a while longer until we could get the word out to switch to buying Kendal Dark. As will be evident...

    Trying Out Gawith Blends and Sharing My Impressions

    Auld Kendal is our hand rolling range and yes therefore it s much finer cut. There are government set rules as to how thin/thick hand rolling and pipe tobacco can be and taxed differently. The is completely separate to the pipe tobacco range.

    Trying Out Gawith Blends and Sharing My Impressions

    As I have already stated, the stalky bits became unavailable and so eventually were not included. Whether that was gradual or a sudden change I don't know with out grilling the production team, and quite frankly they are all very busy trying to get the large American orders made. SG Lakeland...

    Trying Out Gawith Blends and Sharing My Impressions

    The Kendal range is our shag range and absolutely no plans or end goal to fade this out. Its one of our biggest sellers. All other shag type mixtures sold in the USA are not our "normal" cut, hence why we decided to try with our normal cut there and it was termed Vintage cut. A while back we...

    Trying Out Gawith Blends and Sharing My Impressions

    Kendal Dark has always been a shag cut. There is no "vintage cut" of it in the UK. The 'Kendal' range of pipe tobacco is our shag cut range. But please note all other mixtures in the UK (except the Kendal range) are what American's term vintage cut. We don't have a vintage cut in the UK, it is...
