Gawith Hoggarth Bulk: BLACK IRISH 'X' TWIST

Gives a new meaning to “go smoke a rope. Don’t lose hope, don’t be a dope, climb the black rope. Barbecued brisket ends on the wind.

Great service, Item as described, arrived well packaged, Thank you.

Wonderful

Got some of this in a trade, and I was excited, because I had never smoked any Twist before. I am a pipe smoker with over 40 years experience, mostly with aromatics. I smoked this in a Missouri Meerschaum Diplomat. The pouch aroma was of a strong cigar, like a Punch. It complied, packed and lit well. The first puff almost knocked me across the room. It was like a really strong cigar. The taste was pure strong brown burly, like 5 Brothers on steroids. All the houseplants died....even the plastic ones. I could only smoke about half a bowl before the room started spinning, and nausea set in. I had to go lay down for around 45 minutes before I started feeling better. Well, now I know. I will leave twists to those who are a little more resilient than I.

This tobacco is not the most aesthetically pleasing, but the variety keeps the pipe smoking hobby interesting. The smell for me is pretty difficult to define. It smells and tastes like the black part of a steak. I smoke this only on a special occasion after a good meal, because it is extremely strong. The flavour itself is surprisingly mild, with no tongue bite.
