Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Dark Flake Scented

Dark Flake Scented is the floral-topped version of the dark Gawith, Hoggarth flakes built on fire-cured Malawi and Indian leaf. In the firm's naming, "unscented" products are only sauced, while "scented" ones have a top note added on top of that. The topping here is among the most pronounced floral examples of Lakeland style, carrying an intense aroma reminiscent of geranium and rose. The slices are thick-cut, dark brown, and oily. On the smoke, the fire-cured leaf's smoky, earthy body sits side by side with the floral topping. Nicotine is very high, and the burn is slow and cool thanks to the pressed structure. Since the topping lingers strongly, dedicating a separate pipe to this type of blend is common practice.
