Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Kendal Dark Shag Black Cherry

This is the cherry-flavored version of the Kendal Dark family. The body is a fine shag cut of Malawi-origin fire-cured leaf and India-origin air-cured Virginia, topped with the dark cherry flavoring known in Kendal tradition. Although it falls into the aromatic category, its body isn't light: the earthy, peppery base of the fire-cured leaf shows through beneath the cherry, and nicotine runs high. The fine cut lights quickly, so it needs to be smoked slowly.
