According to our tobacconist, the Coffee and Caramel by Gawith and Haggarth is one of their best-selling, even approaching the popularity of their Cherry and Vanilla. If you recall, the cherry and vanilla was a light smoke, slightly sweet and we said would make for an excellent beginners tobacco. The Coffee & Caramel also makes for a good beginners smoke. It is slightly sweet, but certainly heavier in flavour.
The Coffee & Caramel is made of rich black cavendish tobacco and has an incredibly dark, weighty and even syrupy appearance. Unsmoked the aroma is almost sickeningly sweet, and one can definitely smell the coffee, but the smoke is neither overtly sweet nor terribly strong. Unfortunately it is hard to keep lit (my mate used up about 20 matches), and the tar does build up on this one- so pipe cleaners and a pipe-knife are a must! You may even wish to try using a filter if your pipe has a space for one.
