Gawith and Hoggarth #7 Broken Flake Discontinued?
Well it didn't sell well when last in proper production so er.........no! And you can't JUST do limited runs - every blend has to be registered (costs) , there would be artwork and labels to do, finding time in an already packed production schedule, packing schedule...... We don't tend to bring...- gawithhoggarth

Gawith and Hoggarth #7 Broken Flake Discontinued?
Can't say for definite off top of my head but it has definitely not been made for maybe 5 years or so. The fact that you could still find a bag to buy 4 or more years after it stopped production shows how little it sold.- gawithhoggarth

Gawith and Hoggarth #7 Broken Flake Discontinued?
Must be pretty old (hence does not sell well) if managed to get a bag still in May when it's not been made for a few years.- gawithhoggarth

Gawith and Hoggarth #7 Broken Flake Discontinued?
Clearly not that many of you or it would probably not have been discontinued! Kendal#7 has not been made for years. And it was not being put out with two different names depending on if pre-packed or bulk. Blends are not just 'discontinued' without thought - 95% of the time it is because they...- gawithhoggarth

Gawith and Hoggarth #7 Broken Flake Discontinued?
No not discontinued, just now put out under its other name - Mahogany. Mahogany and Broken No 7 are the same thing - just it was called one thing for tins and one thing for bulk. Now it's the same.- gawithhoggarth

New Samuel Gawith tins
As I said if tools are required....... "Tins were hard to open. The navy flake needed to be opened like a can of beer with a bottle opener. The chocolate took time and just twisting with the edge of the bottle opener." Round tin lids screw on and are more uniform so different physics. "The...- gawithhoggarth

New Samuel Gawith tins
You cannot have it both ways I am afraid. Very tight vacuum so need 'tool' to prize lid off and then lid is ruined and does not go back on properly. Or less vacuum, decent seal from rubber sealing and can take lid off without use of tool, stays in shape, easily clicks back on for re-sealing.- gawithhoggarth

Gawith dropped the date codes?
We are just about to begin export of GH Snuff to the States. I cannot say where this will be sold as we do not have that information. I understand that online sales of snuff are not allowed and therefore it will only be in B&M stores.- gawithhoggarth

Gawith dropped the date codes?
No, we have no requirement for further coding on the tins, we are already pressed for room on tins due to other requirements - security features, tax stamps, side warning labels. We have never put a date code on tins and won't be starting. Tins had no codes on them before around 2016 I think it...- gawithhoggarth

Gawith dropped the date codes?
So first we never actually had a date code. There was just an internal coding system that someone came up with a 'formula' for but that we actually used for internal order tracking. Now that Track and trace is a legal requirement, we no longer need the internal coding system as every single...- gawithhoggarth

Shag Tobacco
Kind of depends what your definition of a shag cut is. We have the Kendal range of shag tobacco - Kendal Gold, Kendal Mixed and Dark and various variations and flavours of these. But for the USA we do a finer cut termed Classic cut over in the States but is more akin to our UK RYO cut. It would...- gawithhoggarth
