Gawith Hoggarth Rich Dark Spring Dew Mixture (Formerly Rich Dark Honey Dew) Pipe Tobacco (Loose)

This is a special smoke that lives up to its name. Only ordered 10g sample and regretted not buying more almost instantly. Usually not a fan of Virginia-heavy blends, but the dark cured in this works for me. Can imagine some pipers being unimpressed with the slightly medicinal taste, but for me, it's subtle, interesting and invigorating. The room note has that "old books" thing going on which I found to be true of another honeyed tobacco. The strength is surprising since the taste is so smooth, so it behooves the piper to take time and sip this one. Big fan already after a single bowl. Rich, dark and slightly mysterious, just like this reviewer (except for the rich part).
