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

Impossible to smoke. Plugged, yet again. No draw to speak of. Had to finish, due to absurd cost. I will never touch a Montecristo again. On my life, what are these Cubans playing at ? Allones specially selected and Bolivar Royal Coronas have never let me down, so I’ll be sticking to them, I guess !

Just got into cigars, this is my third type of cigar Ive tried and honestly it didnt let me down. Very flavoursome and burnt well, would definitely recommend to anyone if they want to try something new or are just getting into the hobby.

Was sent this as a sub for the smaller Atom which was good of Cgars. A quality stick, construction very good as youd expect from a DE, a sweet taste on the wrapper but not so much in the smoke, just got the usual tobacco flavours after a while.

Very impressed with this cigar, Started nice and sweet, peppery tingles on the tongue and a pleasure to smoke, A few touchups now and then, more towards the last third and two relights. Not as great below the band, and next time just for this cigar, I will not smoke beyond about the middle position of where the band sits. Now added to my must-have list.

This was my second Cohiba Maduro, and after failing to tame the larger Genios I was apprehensive. As soon as I picked it up it felt special, this was a very strong firm cigar in the fingers. The toasting took a long time, but I wanted to make sure it was fully and evenly lit. This may have paid off, as I only had one relight and minimal management. I really enjoyed it, but it does pack a punch and you need to keep puffing or it will stop burning at the drop of a hat.
