| The old Fletcher Jones building. Well this is the end of our pipe tour. Stayed at great historic places some over 150 years old. Old for Australia. Drove 2400 km on some amazing roads. Froze and was wind swept a few times. Now i want to move to Tasmania. |
 |
| 1/2 pound 267 grams of Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Rum Twist This is a twist made from the Straight Virginia as the Black and Brown Irish X. It has additional Rum flavoring added during manufacture. This is a very strong tobacco as it does not undergo the pressure cooking process. |

| I cut some coins with my flake cutter folded and stuffed them in my Petersons Sterling silver no 15. Rubbed out a coin and sprinkled some on top to get it going. It was hard to light but once i had it going it kept going. The rum flavour is there in the background. Also has a very full tobacco flavour. Full of nicotine but not quite the kick of Samuel Gawith - 1792 Flake / Cob Plug which is a good thing. I tried chewing some first time for me. Cut of a chunk about 1/2 inch long and popped it in. This is where the rum taste shines and the tobacco tastes so strong. I could only keep it in for about 10 minutes as it started getting too strong next time a smaller chunk. The nicotine kick was a surprise to me. I cant believe how well it worked. Next time i'm on a plane or a hotel this will come in handy. |
