Aye Cap'n! Arrrrrr! (and all that sorta shite)

Sum of us gotta do the written version of look-at-me Influencer Selfies on these old school forums, right?

I'll run on for pages and pages for a couple weeks about stuff, then disappear without a trace, right?

And since it'll come down to me callin' you a pussy before it's over I'll just do it now and get that out of the way:

Yer a pussy, berg. You got that?

Put THAT in your (tiny) pipe and smoke it, OK???

Arrrrrr! Alrighty then. (and all that sorta shite)
don't shame people for their pipe size. Not because it's mean or anything. I just don't want to hear about how it's the cadence of the ocean. And then how it's not stem size but chamber width that gets the most flavor. And then someone is going to ask if it's normal for their pipe to be bent like that and show pics....
It's a can of worms your opening is what I am saying.

You do realise this is made from a plant that may have had more sunshine, less water, grown in a different paddock, missed a fertilizer application, was harvested late because of rain, sat in a shed for an extra month because of a supply chain issue. Just one of these things would change the flavour profile of a certain tobacco let alone 2 or 3 or all of them. I’m damn amazed that blenders can even replicate year on year something with a close approximation to last years!
and frankly it's somewhat nice to have at least one or two places that choose to make what they want over striving for consistency over quality and personality.

Well…these repetitive posts make me think that many here would bitch if they were strung up with a new rope.

Can’t we be thankful that companies still participate in this shunned industry.

I’d hate to be your wives, girlfriends or boyfriends serving you dinner night after night.

My old lady hasn't relied solely upon her own merit to achieve master cook in my kitchen. If it wasn’t for my super taster abilities and knives edge honest critique neither of us know where she would be right now.

Oh, I’m sorry—did I miss somethin’ here? Last I checked, Gawith Hoggarth ain’t some kindly housewife bakin’ cherry pies for the whole town, nor are they some altruistic saint handin’ out masterfully crafted tobacco for free. No, sir, they’re a business. And you know what that means? Our relationship’s a transactional one—plain and simple. I’m buyin’; they’re sellin’. That’s how it works.

Now, I didn’t realize I was supposed to be grateful on top of it all. Grateful for what, exactly? For payin’ my hard-earned dollars and hopin’ I get somethin’ worth the price? As far as I’m concerned, they’re a company makin’ money like any other, and what business worth its salt doesn’t want a happy customer?

All I’m askin’ is for them to do right by the folks who keep ‘em afloat. I ain’t askin’ for charity. I pay my way, and in return, I expect quality. If that’s too much to ask, well, maybe they oughta rethink how they do business.

That’s a good one. Since when did everyone suddenly become a “super taster?” I can’t count the number of gatherings I’ve been to when some person feels the need to announce that they are a f$cking super taster.

Stop… you are too much, lol. Now I know for sure that this thread is an extension of the Three Billy Goats Gruff. Where have you dredged up such entitled nonsense. You are entitled to one thing. Be a man and stop buying their product. Clearly you are unhappy with it. Clearly others are not. Clearly Rachel has seen you post indicated by her likes on certain postings on this thread and clearly she has chosen not to respond. Either you are fortunate or she doesn’t deem your whining worth her time and prefers to spend it with her dog rescue efforts. Either way, at this point - the second thread out of the two or so you started related to Gawith, it’s clear you have issues with Gawith. It is what it is man. It’s not going to change. So live with it. Now, I’ll go back to enjoying my Ennerdale knowing full well IT WILL NOT GHOST my pipe. 😂.

Here’s your sign!

Wait, are you actually Rachel’s alter-ego?

Can anyone here trace IP addresses. Breathe…breathe in the air…be afraid to care…with your tongue in your cheek.

Maybe you should stick to Marlboros. The have a knack for consistency…wink.

What’s wrong? Can’t handle a different opinion? This a forum for sharin’ views, or is it some kind of nest for Gawith defenders who can’t stand the sight of anyone steppin’ outta line? Far as I know, the whole point of a place like this is folks havin’ the freedom to speak their mind—whether it’s praise or criticism.

But no, soon as someone dares to break the sacred little taboo and share a negative thought about Gawith’s latest creations, out come the pitchforks, huh? Like it’s some crime to expect a bit of quality for your hard-earned money. Well, I got news for you: different opinions ain’t the enemy. They’re the lifeblood of any real discussion. If you can’t handle that, maybe it’s you who oughta take a good, long look in the mirror.
