This is a combination of dark-fired whole leaf Virginias and mid-rib fine cut Kentucky leaf rolled and sliced to make ‘bird’s eyes’. This fine shag cut was preferred by fisherman and sailors because it was very easy to pack and light.

Originally crafted by Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. (who share roots and manufacturing with Samuel Gawith), Dark Bird’s Eye is a legendary, heavily Kentucky-forward pipe tobacco. The “bird’s eye” effect comes from cutting the whole leaf across the grain with the mid-rib (stem) left intact.
