Does anyone know? I found the following over on snuson.com: “F&T HDT is a WIN for sure! You should give Wilsons & Co (Sharrow) Irish High Toast No.22 a try. Also, if you like HDT i’m sure you’ll love Samuel Gawith Irish D Light, that was the original F&T HDT i think, so they say!” Also, does anyone have some of the SG Irish D Original? Can I buy a sample?
There is a thread on here somewhere, and I want to say that yes it is.

If I may be permitted a question or two on the complex issue of Toast History, hasn’t there been a slight mix-up here? Didn’t S. Gawith once make all G. Smith’s snuffs? I can vouch for the total superiority of original G. Smith’s Irish High Toast, a fabulous creation which was absolutely unlike S. Gawith’s current Irish D Light which - to me at least - has an acrid and quite unpleasant smell and is much darker than the G. Smith’s original. I really wish S. Gawith would revive G. Smith’s original recipe - there’s surely room for more than one toast in their extensive range, and G. Smith’s Irish High Toast was the best toast ever. Only G. Hoggarth’s Irish D approaches it in colour and smell, if not in complexity. And did S. Gawith ever manufacture F&T Dry High Toast (only WoS, surely…)? This is again quite different - very pleasant and complex but needs to be decanted into a snuff-box or glass container to lose the metallic taste from the tube. So: is S. Gawith Irish D Light the old F&T High Dry Toast? I’d still tend to say: no.
Like bears are of the pig family. They are still totally different animals.
Yeah they are all different
No, they are all different.
likely since the question is who made the snuff back in the day. And I don’t know but it very well could have been a Gawith.
