Well, what can I say about the American Sweet Peach by Gawith and Hoggarth: It is sweet, has a peachy flavour, and is presumably American...
To be fair, I expected this tobacco to be blow-your-head-off sweet, a kind of sickly syrupy cloying sort of sweet- it was nothing of the sort- indeed, it was well-balanced. There is a definite peach overtone to the flavour, and it is very aromatic, but it was quite nice. Apparently, according to Jim, our tobacconist, this tobacco was one of the most popular until Gawith and Hoggarth released their Cherry and Vanilla.
The Sweet Peach does have a couple drawbacks though; first, it produces a very light smoke unless puffed quickly enough to get the tobacco really hot. This is related to the second problem, which is that the tobacco goes out with incredible ease. Most of the pipe-fulls I had went out at least twice during the course of the smoke. For one who is skint, matches are not a cheap commodity, and it was irritating to have to waste as many as I did relighting the pipe. The tobacco is also quite tarry, and I suspect one might need to clean their pipe every other smoke with this one.
