Gawith Hoggarth CM has a medium grind with moderate moisture content and a medium-to-light-brown colour. The tasting notes are camphor and menthol, with the camphor being stronger than in most medicated snuffs. Nicotine strength is medium.
The aroma shifts between the two primary notes, with menthol initially stronger before camphor becomes the strongest note, then both notes balance together. The base tobacco is largely masked by the medicated components.
