Gawith Hoggarth Brown Flake...

[pauls456]

I just got off the phone with Ernie at Watch City. We were trying to make sense of the current labeling of the most current Gawith Hoggarth Brown Flake. Previously there were 'aromatic' and 'scented' versions. These seem to have been supplanted by the current 'Brown A Flake Scented/Aromatic'. Or at least as nearly as we can tell.

According to Ernie, the current legal situation regarding tobacco flavorings is the culprit behind this. Can anyone who has tried the latest iterations provide any clarification?

I'm surprised he answered the phone today. He has his hands full with tobacco orders ... or so I heard.

I like how you’re relying on tobaccoreviews as if it’s accurate information.
the scented/aromatic are the same thing, Just different names.

Oh. Someone should sue them for false advertising.

You might not be aware, but they didn't add all of those tobaccos. Users add them, and this is why they have a lot of multiple listings. I think they do try to clean them up occasionally, but it's not like anyone uses it but pipesmokers, so...

Yes. Much ado about not much.
