Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Kendal Gold-Toffee

Kendal Gold is one of the shag-cut main bodies produced at Gawith, Hoggarth & Co.'s Kendal workshop in Cumbria. Its base is a fine golden-hued cut of flame-cured bright Virginia leaf; the producer states it uses no other tobacco type in this series, only cleanly cut Virginia. The Kendal Gold body is offered with numerous different flavorings, and Kendal Gold-Toffee is this family's toffee-flavored member. The toffee flavoring adds a sweet, buttery layer; the bright Virginia base's tart sweetness continues underneath that layer. The fine cut burns fast, calling for loose packing and a measured draw.
