Gawith & Hogarth Dark Flake Unscented

[@pipeninja1578]

I LOVE those gobbler pics! It’s almost turkey season here in Arkansas. I’m fired up! That gift of the golf tee tampers is wonderful! We had tornadoes here last night. My aunt’s house in Wynne, AR was completely destroyed. She is in a nursing home, so she wasn’t physically harmed. Stay safe, especially on Fridays! Cliff

[@beans316]

Wow that’s terrible but so glad she is ok good luck with hunting

[@DarkFiredDylan]

One of my favorites!

[@beans316]

Hard to argue good stuff

[@colebuckmaster966]

Really glad to be getting back into my weekend routine with the channel. Keep up the great uploads.

[@beans316]

Thanks Cole I’ll certainly try to have a great week

[@JimmyJ26]

Hey Brian, Yep, we got the winds last night. Your pictures are always interesting, not always nice, but the pictures remind me of a storm we had last summer. Trees down everywhere and no power for 6 days! Pressure change causing these high winds but at least it's finally 55F. Great review, I ordered the S & G (1oz.) Dark Unscented, back when S & P had it in stock. It was a nice and cool smoke (had some this morning), but you sure are right, eat a big breakfast. Cheers, Jim Brian様、 ええ、昨夜は風が吹いていました。 あなた様、の写真はいつも興味深いものですが、いつも良いとは限りませんが、写真を見ると去年の夏の嵐を思い出します。 至る所で木が倒れ、6 日間停電しました。 これらの強風を引き起こす気圧の変化ですが、少なくとも最終的には 55F です。 素晴らしいレビューです。S & P に在庫があったときに、S & G (1 オンス) Dark Unscented を注文しました。 素敵でクールな煙でした (今朝も少し吸っていました) が、確かにその通りです。朝ごはんをたくさん食べてよ。 気を付けてね　ジムより

Thanks my friend it’s been really crazy last few weeks with severe weather hopefully it slows down

[@shawnlowhorn5009]

Hands down one of if not my favorite blends glade you decided to LOOK AT IT!!!

[@beans316]

It’s definitely one of my favorites great stuff

[@BourbonNeophyte]

Cheers Brian another great video.

[@beans316]

Thanks my friend have a great week

[@1stSgt02]

Thanks for sharing another Saturday with us! I tried some GH blends recently, and I have to say I’m a fan. Stay safe out there, hoping you don’t lose power, and it’s all over quickly. All the best, my friend.

[@beans316]

Thanks so far so good still have power but it’s getting really windy now

[@Bigpappawpiper]

Great video, I laugh every time you tell us to look at it lol. Love the tempers. God bless looking forward to the next video

[@beans316]

Baaahhhaaaa sometimes you just have to act goofy

[@SoCal-Piper]

Hey Brian! Praying all is well with you and yours! That surprise delivery from one of your subscribers is absolutely inspiring! God bless you, buddy! 🙏

[@beans316]

Thanks my friend yes this community is by far the best one out there I’ve been in cigar and bourbon communities and a lot are snobs

[@Matt_RVA]

Awesome thoughtful gift! Thanks for the review, I started smoking a pipe learning this blend but I haven’t gone back to it, I need to crack that jar soon! I love the Gawith blends, always quality. Be safe out there.

[@beans316]

Yes it was a very cool suprise gift

[@timmyjohnslats]

One of my favorite all time tobaccos at the moment. Such flavor and it packs quite a wallop with the nic hit. Anyways always enjoy your videos and your opinions on the baccy.

[@beans316]

Thanks my friend really appreciate it

[@piperken1656]

Thanks for sharing Brian. Happy smokes

[@beans316]

Thanks Ken I’m not looking forward to trying the ones heavily cased with floral notes

[@SmokesaPipe]

Smoking Dark Birdseye shag cut right now. One of my favorites. Also love Dark Flake, both scented and unscented. Great content as always Brian! And you nailed it on Gawith Hoggarth taking the place of Latakia. Exact same for me too.

[@beans316]

Thanks Greg it’s definitely great stuff how do you compare it to Pease Penny Farthing?

[@GhostCob]

Always good to see ya . I hope this weekend was good. Keep em burning…

[@beans316]

Kept power so it was good baahhhaaa

[@Pipesandstooges]

Beans!! Well I have to agree with you on this one.. I actually have a jar of it about 5 years old 👍🏻👍🏻😎 hope you and your family have a happy Easter

[@beans316]

Thanks Brad Happy Easter to you

[@owenjohnson5030]

I’m at the southern tip of Indiana. Been experiencing the same weather pattern as you. The tornado situation yesterday was intense. The wind is howling today. I’m over this.

[@beans316]

Agreed it’s been a crazy weather pattern for sure it doesn’t help I live up on a hill

[@carolinasmoker9764]

One of my favorite GH blends! It definitely packs a punch hahaha! Take care bud 👊🏻

[@beans316]

It sure does but it’s a nice baccy it definitely takes the place of Latakia for me

[@beebot]

Love it Brian, glad to watch anybody enjoying fantastic tobacco ;-). Snowed here Friday, sunny and warm on Saturday and ice due on Tomorrow, what fun! Ennerdale's a classic but I don't know if you're going to enjoy it (pretty hefty on the flavouring). Dark Flake always reminds me of equine work for some reason. It takes me back to tacking up the gee gees as a young lad. A solid favorite, but stout stuff that goes well with a nice pint of guiness if that's your poison.

[@beans316]

Now that sounds good I need to give that a try I really like it with strong black coffee

[@Lutrasaurus]

Thank you for the review. Nice gift. Have a good day.

[@beans316]

Your welcome thanks for stopping by

[@oldandintheway1955]

Hiyas Brian, I love Dark Flake-U!!! I too pick up a very slight rose geranium flavor profile from this one. That's fine, I also enjoy Dark Flake-A. We got nailed here in Chicagoland last night (Friday) high winds and heavy rains. Baton down the hatches! Pipe On ✓ Gary

[@beans316]

Thanks my friend we made it through couldn’t believe we didn’t loose power this time

[@signalmantonyfromr.i.3709]

Very nice haul. Thank you for the video.

[@beans316]

Thanks for watching Tony

[@CoryK85]

Thank you for sharing I’m going to try a few of these blends. I have tried the ennerdale you showed it’s a punch of flavour. Myself personally, found it a tad soapy but all in all a great smoke. Enjoy!

[@beans316]

Thanks my friend yeah I hear that one is pretty cased

[@CoryK85]

Indeed it does but overal a wonderful smoke can’t wait to see your review on it.

[@BC-ee9iu]

Good luck on the weather front! Here in metro New Orleans we’ve had a shift as well. The last 5-10 years we’ve become sort of a “tornado alley producing ef2’s and 3’s which is uncommon in this area. I think the earths axis has shifted or something! Dying to try some HG I’m saving pennies for the day! Thanks for what you do

[@beans316]

Thanks my friend yeah I agree here in Wv it’s rare to get tornadoes had a couple last year

[@frankgallik2653]

Good morning/afternnoon and happy Saturday my friend. You got some decent blends there to try. Luckily last nights snow missed us. Busy morning myself hence why I'm a little late today. Have a good one.

[@beans316]

Thanks Frank can’t believe we survived this time and kept our power because the winds were pretty bad

[@pipetobak]

Dark Birds Eye is a very tasty blend Brian. Number of other GH blends I've tried in the last 5-6 months I found very tasty. I must say that they know how to make tasty blends, especially VA/KEN. Cheers, Janez

[@beans316]

Thanks Janez yes they do they make some great stuff I just try and stay away from the more Lakeland stuff lol

[@jerryspipe]

Another tobacco with a punch! Sounds Great! Hope you & yours stay safe in the storms!

[@beans316]

Thanks Jerry we kept power so that’s good haha

[@andymacwilliams8562]

That whole factory is ghosted…lol. #7 is great with little age. BE is great and so is Kendal Kentucky. Kendal flake is one I keep coming back to as is Bobs chocolate. All the dark stuff is a home run for me. That ennerdale is one of my favorite’s but it’s very high on the Lakeland scale. Great review. Those shag cuts are hard to beat for a quick smoke.

[@beans316]

Ohhhh boy yeah I hear I’m probably not going to like that one very much haha

[@brianquilty687]

I just watched Cliff's video ..... unbelievable damage. That is a lot of tobacco and you have more coming ? And the gift of the tee-tampers was very generous.

[@beans316]

Thanks Brian we we’re lucky this time we kept our power but it was pretty intense

[@Heritagejim5339]

Beans we have had the same weather brother down here in Alabama… ps: I got a sample of the Louisiana Perique and was my 1st G&H and loved it 😎

[@beans316]

Thanks for stopping by the Louisiana perique is definitely on my radar

[@tombrown1898]

Misery loves company! My power here in Louisville went out in the wee hours this morning, but came back on around sunrise. When I woke up again, around 10 o'clock, it was back out! Happily it wasn't like a Friday night 4 weeks ago, when it went out for the whole weekend! The lights came back on about 2 o'clock this afternoon. You can handle more nicotine than I, my friend.

[@beans316]

Yeah I here you it sucks loosing power where I live it seems we loose it very often

[@UncleBurntApostrophe]

Good stuff bro- still new pipe smoker, here, but been trying a bunch of GH/SG blends of late, along w Peterson/Dunhill; can certainly tell why classics/mainstays👍

[@beans316]

Thanks for stopping by half the fun is trying new blends

[@maz6525]

Glad to see you liked the Gawith & Hoggarth blends. My favorites from their lines are Brown Flake Unscented, Bright CR Flake, Scotch Flake, Best Brown # 2, Louisiana Flake, Ennerdale flake, & all the ropes right after dinner. If you are still looking for Louisiana Flake to try, 4noggins have some but only in 8oz increments. If you ask me, it's well worth getting it. Cheers my friend.

[@beans316]

Thanks my friend really appreciate it

[@alanrich8697]

Thanks for another H&G review. Coniston has that perfumy soapy Lakeland essence for me. Not unbearable but not an everyday smoke for sure. I have a very old tin of Ennerdale that I’ve put off trying for ages. I guess I’ll give it a go after you review it. Gulp.

[@beans316]

Baaahhhaaaa if you think Coniston was Lakeland strong I hear Ennerdale is one of the strongest not looking forward to that one 😂😂

[@alanrich8697]

You go first mate!

[@unclewillie1525]

Other then the Facetime we did on Saturday with you I don't think anyone made a video. I love Dark Flake unscented one of my favs. I have the Dark Birds Eye in shag cut and vintage cut (ribbon) along with both cuts of Kendall Kentucky. Hope the weekend upcoming will be better for you.

[@beans316]

Thanks my friend I have to say so far there all really good I just need to stay away from the more Lakeland strong ones haha

[@monsaface]

I've been mixing this with Bayou Morning lately, very nice. I bet it would also be great mixed with Exclusive!

[@beans316]

Ohhh yeah good stuff for sure

[@rogeliorodriguez1533]

This is a good review. The stuff is one dimensional in a good way. It burns okay once you get it going, it's a straight ahead smoke. I prefer the dark flake aromatic because it's more fun to sip on. But the dark flake unscented is a no nonsense tobacco blend. Full of flavors. How can I ship you a sample gift? I have something I want to be reviewed and crtiqued on.

[@beans316]

Awwww that’s very nice but no need to do that , I can send you my email [e-mail]

[@vintagepipesnightmares]

Dark flake is my favorite tobacco. I always said that it has everything I like in one blend. It is smoky like any good Latakia, it has strong burley inside and sweet Virginia. What else do one need? Have a wonderful day! Silviu 👍

[@beans316]

Hard to disagree with that statement haha

[@s.m.r.1202]

I've not tried this one. It's on the list. I enjoyed the pictures. I hope you don't get pounded too bad with weather.

[@beans316]

Thanks Randy we made it without losing power this time couldn’t believe it

[@terrytico4009]

I enjoy the Dark Flake but prefer the Coniston Cut Plug. I will order some of Bob's Chocolate Flake to try soon. The Dark Bird's Eye is good and has plenty of kick. The high winds have been down here in Greenbrier County, WV for a few hours. Had to take a few minutes to pick up things that got blown around the yard. The lights flickered off for a minute but good so far.

[@beans316]

Thanks for stopping by yeah we were lucky here this time still had really high winds but kept power this time

[@patrickfoster8341]

Boswell’s was a blast today. Maybe next time you can hang out.

[@beans316]

Absolutely sorry I will definitely go next time I just would rather go when more people are going, I’m always pressed for time working full time and pipe making on the weekends

[@westbsa7424]

Bold blend. It’s tasty enough but I don’t enjoy it that much. Happy smokes!

[@beans316]

😂😂😂😂 Is it worse than Dark flake scented ?

[@2packs4sure]

@@beans316 I wish I could tell you. I have to avoid almost all dark flakes,, something about the nicotine content in a dark flake is different for me and they make me sick. I can handle high nicotine content blends with no problem but not dark flakes which stinks because there's several dark flakes that I consider my favorites... Ennerdale is among the most Lakelandy Lakelands to my nose so you should hate it.. lol

[@1stSgt02]

I just had my second bowl of Ennerdale, I think it’s quite good. As far as I know, I’m sane. So people who say you have to be crazy to like the stuff, I might need a professional evaluation. 😊

[@scottedelen]

In my world of pipe tobacco Ennerdale is something else all together. I love the stuff. But then I also really like Cornell and Diehl's Gentleman Caller.

[@2packs4sure]

@@1stSgt02 You're ok man,, it's delicious, I'm having a bowl right now.

[@bkfw000]

Because of your review of Exclusive, a couple of gents in my pipe club tried it and now can't get enough. Seems you have caused a run on the blend. Guess that means you are an "influencer!"

[@frankdananay7860]

Curious Brian, how many bowls of tobacco do you average in a day ? How's Dunhill's training going ? Great idea on the golf tee's.

Usually two at work and one in the evening

[@JohnSmith-vt5ry]

Ironically I started my G&H trials just before you. I tried DFU today and liked it as you (6.5). This morning I tried Brown Twist and did not like it. Seemed too strong. Are you seeing that the browns seem stronger than the blacks? Or is it sporadic. ?

[@beans316]
