    Hi

    Yep - Gawith Hoggarth, not Samuel Gawith.

    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...

    Overtime certain types of leaf become unavailable, leaf sources change, tobacco changes (climate, soil, where its grown etc)........

    Searching for UK 1970's Lakeland Tobacco Documentary

    Trying Out Gawith Blends and Sharing My Impressions

    Over time similar blends can often homogenise into basically the same thing. This is what happened over time with Dark Birds Eye, Kendal Kentucky and Kendal Dark. Over time the three blends became very very similar until they were the same but were being sold under three different names. We...

    Kendal Kentucky is no longer made under that name, its just Kendal Dark = Dark Birds Eye.

    Well I guess this is for the government inspectors to decide. That's a legal issue.

    Rouseco Buoy Gold

    Again I think there is a difference in terminology here. I would absolutely agree with your statement if we were talking about roll your own/hand rolling cigarette tobacco. RYO/hand rolling tobacco is a different product to pipe tobacco, made for a different purpose. But the original post was...
