    Ennerdale Flake

    Very different both in the baccy and in the topping. Grousemoor is just pure virginia the same as Best Brown with a topping more reminding of baked cookies. Ennerdale in addition to Virginia has some dark leaves and Burley, so a little bit stronger baccy, and the topping is almond/fruity...

    Gawith and Hoggart Kendal Black Cherry

    I love the Kendal Black Cherry. Is there a bulk version of it or is it sold only as tinned?

    How Long does a Smoke Last?

    One consideration not discussed is if smoking inside or outside. Everything else being equal being inside makes a bowl lasting at least 30% more as the ventilation outside burns the tobacco faster (and requires less relights).

    Best Blend of 2023: An Elimination Game

    Of the ones remaining I would love to see in the podium FVF, Bob's Chocolate and Ennerdale and then have these 3 fight for the crown. So this is why I try to keep Ennerdale alive.

    Can Separating Stem After Every Smoke Ruin the Stem?

    I rarely remove the stem. As soon as finished a bowl I pass a cleaner to remove all possible humidity in the stem and I swipe a paper towel in the bowel. 30-60 min later I do a hot running water clean (as described in multiple threads) passing again at the end with cleaner in the stem and...

    Hemp wick

    In the past I was using matches which I found better than lighters to better control the flame and also burning cooler. I found hemp wick having the same advantage of matches without the mess of having to deal with them and I like them. I really feel the difference of a cooler flame (even if...

    Current Production Blend Equivalent to GH Top Black Cherry

    I have nearly finished the GH Tope Black Cherry and I noticed it is no more available in the US. I noticed that currently GH in the USA imports the Kendall Black Cherry and the American Black Cherry. Anyone knows if one of the two is the equivalent of the old top black cherry?

    From Cigars to Pipes or Pipes to Cigars?

    I started with pipes 8 years ago and then added few cigars about 3 years later. I am a 95% pipe and 5% premium cigar. I prefer pipe because to me there is much more flavor, much more palette variety, I like the ritual and the technique involved (which could be a minus for many) and it is more...

    🙋‍♂️Gawith Hoggarth Fans I have A Question

    As a general rule when bot flake and plug version of the same blend are available I prefer the plug as, maybe just in my mind, but I sense the plug combine and mellow better the flavors, ages better and because I like to slice and prepare the plug.

    Replacement Blend for GH Cherry Cream Flake

    To be more specific I am trying to find out which of the current production GH blends is more similar to the old GH Cherry Cream Flake. I think the current GH Cherry Vanilla is similar or maybe the same in a ribbon format. I am not looking at other blenders.

    Replacement Blend for GH Cherry Cream Flake

    I am in the US and I never heard of this one so I think it is not available here

    Replacement Blend for GH Cherry Cream Flake

    I love the GH Cherry Cream Flake and I realized it is now out of production. What is the closest blend in production? I have the GH Top Black Cherry which I love also but it is completely different. I was thinking maybe the GH American Cherry Vanilla could be similar but not sure. Anybody...

    Pipe Tobacco at International Airports.

    There is pipe tobacco at EU airports but never seen something interesting and I don't think the saving of duty free tax justify to buy there. I would suggest to go at some good shops in ireland if they are traveling there

    Trouble Contacting Synjeco

    "You will not be able to buy any Gawith products from Synjeco unless very old stock or being purchased illegally from elsewhere as we no longer use Synjeco as a distributor. They owe us an awful lot of money so it is now going through legal processes." Horrible to hear. Sorry also because...

    Trouble Contacting Synjeco

    I have purchased and emailed multiple times with Daniel with no problem and he is a great guy but I remember the first time I had to contact him few times before the order went through. I sent him money through wire transfer as I think they have limitations for credit cards from US customers so...

    Dog With Good Taste For Cigar

    Last night when I went for a walk instead that my pipe I smoked a cigar. Toward the end of the cigar I sat on the sidewalk for few minutes. A small dog walking with her owner came close to me than suddenly she went up on her legs and slowly and quietly smelling approached the cigar which I put...

    Olive Coffee Anyone?

    I am italian and I would say no italian will ever take that, maybe american tourists in Italy. Knowing my country I would say the only use italians would make of it is infusing through an enema whoever came with that idea if he/she will tour in Italy. But I stop here just as a joke and not...
