Gawith, Hoggarth & Co.'s Kendal Gold is a light, bright Virginia tobacco with a slightly sweet and hay-like and citrus flavor. It should be smoked slowly, as the thin cut can make it burn fast and hot. This is an ideal tobacco for those who enjoy a mellow tobacco with a touch of sweetness, and the types of Virginias used develops a different flavor than most bright flue-cured blends. If you're an all-day sipper, G&H Kendal Gold is sure to please.
I was looking for a mild, but flavorful Virginia to blend with some Latakia and Smyrna, on a 3-1-1 blend.
While the K.G. is a bit more shag cut than I'd like.. it does provide a very satisfying base for the blend.
I have not found anything abetter in several years.
