A welcome addition to the Kendal full bodied hand rolling tobacco released to the market in 2014. Previously smokers who wanted a full strength tobacco were very restricted and had the choice of the AK Dark or Kentucky and the odd packet of Gauloises if you could find it. Now Gawith and Hoggarth have introduced a new full strength tobacco blend. The Auld Kendal Halfzware is a blend of Air Cured bright Virginia and darker leaves, which isn't as rich as the fire cured tobaccos but still gives a good kick. This provides a strong smoke with a crisper burn. Some smokers enjoy the extra bite and richness of fire curing but the Halfzware is for those who want the nicotine strength in a smoother, cleaner smoke.
