This is a tobacco commonly found in Germany, where it is simply called Wild Cut Radford's Old Scotch. However, it is the suspicion that this is the very same tobacco as the Gawith and Hoggarth 'Radford's Old Scotch.' Ha! Another G & H...
The tobacco is a mixture of Virgina and Burley tobaccos, with a bit of aromatic Black Cavendish. It is overall a good blend, but when smoked slowly, it develops a slightly sour flavour. When smoked more quickly (and subsequently more hot) it produces a less sour flavour which I think is considerably more enjoyable. However, the tobacco is already such a thin cut, when smoking it hot, it will disappear rapidly. It is marketed as having a scotch flavour, yet I could not tell...
The Old Scotch is fairly standard in price: 50g on the continent will cost about €5,50, whereas it'll cost about £8.50 in the UK.
