The Rich Dark Honeydew by makers Gawith and Hoggarth is quite a strange tobacco, but certainly not unenjoyable. According to Jim, our tobacconist, it is quite popular and sells fairly well. I personally found it to have an oddly simultaneously dry and sweet smoke, a trait I am not terribly fond of and suspect is the result of using a dry tobacco base and simply flavouring it with a sweet aromatic mixture, without concern for how they complement each other. Nevertheless, the smoke was acceptable, certainly better than many other tobaccos I have tried recently and will appear in our review shortly. The Rich Dark Honeydew is moderately tarry, and the tar- more than the smoke itself, has a fruity tone to it. The tobacco does smoke quite quickly and is not terribly thick, but this is likely a result of being quite finely shredded and ready-rubbed. Give it a try, you shant be disappointed, but it's likely you wont be terribly impressed, and just think; 'well, not bad, I've tried something new...'
