Gawith Hoggarth's Kendal North Star is a shag blend of Virginia and Burley leaf. An unadulterated, hassle free, honest budget smoke for those who still want a good flavour for less expense. Virginias are mildly sweet and citrus with a woody, earthier flavour coming from the Burley.

Shag Tobacco:
Due to some hand rolling smokers using shag tobacco for hand rolling purposes, HMRC have taken action to stop this abuse of the tobacco taxation. HMRC have defined that any tobacco where the strands are less than 1.5mm will be taxed as a Hand Rolling tobacco. All shag tobacco produced as of January 2011 will be cut above 1.5mm. This is a pipe tobacco and is taxed accordingly. It is a criminal offence to use shag tobacco for hand rolling and we do not endorse this.
