Bosun Cut Plug Loose Pipe Tobacco

Bosun Cut Plug  – With only slightly over 50% (54%) flue-cured Virginias from Brazil, Zimbabwe and Malawi, and 31% dark fired leaf, this is a fairly strong smoke. The addition of some sweeter sun cured leaf from Malawi, and the rich cigar type notes from the dark air cured Indian grade help to round off the blend. The special Virginia casings complement the top notes derived from the addition of sharper flavours including oil of cloves and rose geranium. Fans of the Bosun Cut Plug seeking a milder smoke may find the Broken Flake No. 7 an interesting alternative.

• Cut: Broken Flake
• Blend Type: Aromatic
• Brand: Gawith Hoggarth
• Contents: Virginia
• Flavourings: Floral Essences, Spices

Please note – If multiple quantities of loose tobacco are ordered, they may be consolidated into a single package for shipping.

About Gawith Hoggarth Tobacco

Gawith Hoggarth & Co Ltd was set up back in 1887 as a rival company to the already existing Samuel Gawith company.

The Gawith family connection to the tobacco trade goes back to 1792, with the first company under the Gawith name being established in around 1841 but in 1878 the two Gawith brothers decided to terminate their partnership and run separate tobacco businesses, both in Kendal. The two companies briefly merged again in 1885, only for family members to part ways and set up a separate business 2 years later.

From 1962 Samuel Gawith’s no longer had any member of the Gawith family involved in the ownership or running of the company.

But in 2015 Gawith Hoggarth & Co bought back Samuel Gawith’s and both brands are now back under one roof and ownership with the Gawith family privately owning the company.
