Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Dark Bird's Eye Vintage Cut

Dark Bird's Eye is a classic English product where fire-cured whole-leaf Virginias and finely cut Kentucky midrib are rolled and sliced together, showing a "bird's eye" pattern in cross-section. Records indicate it was widely used in the past among fishermen and sailors for its strength and ease of preparation. Vintage Cut is the version offering this tobacco, long sold to the American market only in a fine shag cut, in a wider, traditional ribbon cut. It's an unflavored blend; its taste is built between the dark sweetness of mature Virginia and the smoky, woody sharpness of fire-curing. Nicotine is high. Thanks to the wide cut, it burns slower and packs easily.
