Gawith Hoggarth Kendal Black Irish X Twist is manufactured by spinning tobacco dark fired leaves into a rope. Black Bogie, cooked longer than Brown Bogie which makes it milder with a smoky aroma, is a true old fashioned stout smoke, perfect, with a good strength more suited for the experienced pipe smoker. Irish X is the thick rope. Simply slice up into small coin like pieces and place into your pipe. Loose packaged weighed to order.
