Gawith, Hoggarth & Co.’s Louisiana Flake 500 Gram Box

Gawith & Hoggarth Louisiana Flake is a complex, medium-strength pipe tobacco known for being the manufacturer’s only VaPer (Virginia and Perique) flake, uniquely enhanced with a light cocoa or chocolate topping. It is characterized by its balance of naturally sweet tobaccos and subtle spicy notes, making it a popular choice for those seeking a mellow but flavorful experience. 
Composition and Profile
  • Tobacco Blend: The blend primarily consists of naturally sweet Virginias, bold and nutty Burleys, and a “whisper” or “nice helping” of spicy-sweet Perique. Some descriptions also note the inclusion of smoky Dark-Fired Kentucky.
  • Flavoring: It features a light chocolate or cocoa casing, often compared to the flavoring used in Bob’s Chocolate Flake. Some smokers also detect hints of vanilla, tonquin, or mild floral essences.
  • Cut and Appearance: The tobacco is presented as long, medium-cut flakes that range from golden brown to darker bistre, with yellow speckling throughout. 
Smoking Experience
  • Taste: The flavor profile is a combination of nutty sweetness from the Virginias and Burleys, melded with figgy, fruity, or prune-like notes from the Perique. While some smokers find it spicy or peppery, the Perique is generally used sparingly to avoid a heavy “punchy twang”.
  • Strength and Body: It is consistently rated as medium in both strength and body, making it suitable as an all-day smoke.
  • Room Note: Generally considered pleasant to tolerable, with a side slip smoke that can carry rich, sweet aromas of chocolate and fruit.
  • Lakeland Essence: Like many Gawith & Hoggarth blends, it may carry a faint “Lakeland” floral or soapy scent due to shared processing machinery, though this is often reported as very mild or only present at the start of the bowl.
