I never got around to Rodeo but many of the Kendal blends smoked very well. I think some of them got the axe due to fruit flavoring such as blueberry and banana.

How about the North Star? Does the licorice come through at all? I like licorice, and would try some of this if the note is actually present in the tobacco.
Very little. I have yet to smoke it but I was looking forward to a little more licorice.
Only if they can get the 500g bag down to $20
North Star is not sold as a liquorice flavoured tobacco. It just has a slight hint. We used to do a liquorice tobacco but it did not sell well so was discontinued. However after various requests we have brought back liquorice twist.
I just finished a sample of Rodeo from a friend, and it's falling into place for me with some other blends that I am trying at the moment. Very burleyish, smoky, maybe even a bit oily. It fits in great with a rotation of HU Black Moor and C&D Firebird Flake. Good stuff for one that is looking for something different, with the majority of flavoring coming from the tobacco selections, instead of relying on added outside flavors. I even kind of like the cut. YMMV
But, I'll definitely grab a few tins when it comes back around.
No one is aniseed (already in production) and one is liquorice (new)
WCC has some.
I picked up a tin a few months ago when I saw it on SP. Was going to let it sit for a bit but getting curious now.
@gawithhoggarth Just wanted to say I really like the newest additions to G&H/SG. Rodeo, Exmoor, and North Star are all top notch. And glad to see Bothy/Cabbie's back in the States.
Yes the production list is pretty much exactly the same for the UK as for export. We don't release a blend to one country and not others.
We never got the Burnt Ends releases, though. Are they coming to the UK at some point?
Any idea when we'll get this new flavoured rope in the UK? I checked the online retailers but couldn't see it listed. Also, has the whiskey flavoured rope been discontinued? I can't see it anywhere.
Thanks for the reply
My favorite Gawith Hoggarth blend is Westmorland Slices . I have only seen it in the UK and once in Switzerland. Is it available for import to the USA?

Burnt Ends are a special only for the USA due to fact that we only have a limited amount and so cannot have for general release.We never got the Burnt Ends releases, though. Are they coming to the UK at some point?

Whiskey twist was discontinued a while ago.
I cannot say when retailers will order anything. We have just moved factories though so we are a little behind on stock and production.
It is available for export as are all products, but whether the distributor can order (regulations may prevent sale) or does order, is entirely up to them.
My bad....whiskey twist was only done for the USA but is now available for all export and the UK.
Still in Kendal, or somewhere more adventurous like Patagonia, Tasmania, or the Pitcairn Islands?
