Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Birds Eye VINTAGE CUT

Cut thicker than the classic Dark Shag. Manufactured from dark tobacco 'whole leaf' rather than strips, the mid-rib (or stem) gives the 'birds eye' effect when cut. A strong smoke which was particularly favored by the fishermen as the finer cut meant the tobacco was easier to light and to keep-in on board ship when the weather was bad.
