Gawith, Hoggarth & Co.'s Dark Birds Eye is a traditional blend manufactured from Dark-Fired, whole-leaf Virginias and mid-rib, fine-cut Kentucky leaf, rolled and sliced into "birds eyes." Long preferred by fishermen and sailors due to its strength and easy preparation, it's offered here in the blending house's traditional Vintage Cut, a more traditional pipe tobacco cut ideal for savoring the flavors and nuances of this fine blend.
