Sunday Fantasy

Gawith Hoggarth Sunday’s Fantasy Loose Pipe Tobacco, traditionally sold under the Thomas Radford Sunday’s Fantasy name, is a mild aromatic mixture combining carefully selected Virginia tobaccos with high-grade, double-fermented Black Cavendish. Finished with natural fruit aromas and presented in an unusual mixed cut, Sunday’s Fantasy has a distinctive appearance and a mellow, sweet aromatic character.

The tobacco base brings together the complementary qualities of Virginia and Black Cavendish. Hand-selected Virginia provides natural sweetness and brighter tobacco character, while the double-fermented Black Cavendish contributes a darker, softer and mellower foundation.

What particularly distinguishes Sunday’s Fantasy Pipe Tobacco is its unusual combination of granulated and wild-cut tobacco. This creates a varied, exceptionally loose mixture rather than the uniform ribbon appearance found in many aromatic pipe tobaccos.

A Distinctive Fruity Virginia & Black Cavendish Aromatic

Gawith Hoggarth Sunday’s Fantasy Pipe Tobacco combines hand-selected Virginia leaf with high-quality Black Cavendish that has undergone double fermentation. The contrasting tobaccos create a mixture of golden and darker leaf, with Virginia providing natural sweetness while Black Cavendish adds depth and mellowness.

The aromatic character is built around natural fruit aromas. Rather than defining the blend around a single fruit flavour, Sunday’s Fantasy presents a broader fruit profile, with impressions of ripe and dried fruit complementing the underlying sweetness of the Virginia and Black Cavendish.

Its unusual granulated and wild cut is another defining characteristic. The mixture contains tobacco in noticeably different shapes and sizes, resulting in a loose, textured appearance that separates Sunday’s Fantasy from conventional ribbon-cut aromatic blends.

Double fermentation of the Black Cavendish further contributes to the blend’s mellow character, while the Virginia ensures that natural tobacco sweetness remains present beneath the aromatic fruit profile.

Traditionally associated with the Thomas Radford name and now manufactured by Gawith Hoggarth, Sunday’s Fantasy Loose Pipe Tobacco remains a distinctive fruity aromatic. Its combination of Virginia, double-fermented Black Cavendish, natural fruit aromas and unusual mixed cut gives Sunday’s Fantasy an immediately recognisable identity within the Gawith Hoggarth and Thomas Radford pipe tobacco ranges.
