Gawith & Hoggarth Kendal Dark combines some fire-cured Virginia and Burley tobaccos that have been matured until fairly dark in color. It's cut into a fine shag which packs easily and burns readily. Kendal Dark may not look or smell overpowering, but this premium tobacco blend is sneaky strong -perfect for any pipe enthusiast. who likes a bold tobacco.
bought thid because vendor was out of Macbaren Old dark fired ready rubbed. I find it a nice smoke, reasonably similar in richness to ODF, but a little short on that burnt steak taste of ODF. Good in a pinch. However, on the downside it burns too fast and a little hotter than ODF due to to the shag cut. The thick cut is better. If you are a sipper, it might not exhibit that characteristic so much.

Customer Testimonials
I was impressed with Kendal Dark. It reminded me of the lost and not forgotten (and sorely missed) Dunhill 3 Year Matured Virginia blend--for me, that's a high compliment. Now, if some enterprising, brilliant tobacconist blender, one who works at P&C for example, were to add a modicum of pear juice to the mix (as Dunhill did), there might be a renaissance of that lost, wonderful blend. You could call it "Rowland's Folly".
