Gawith Apricot is a type of snuff, produced by Pöschl Tabak (Germany). Very common in Europe, it's known from strong, refreshing apricot flavour. Sold in 10 gram tins, produced under license.
The apricot is a fruit bearing tree of the species Prunus armeniaca, in the same subgenus as the plum (Prunophora), and also the name of the fruit it produces.
The apricot tree is small to medium sized and produces a spreading, dense canopy; its leaves are shaped somewhat like a heart, with pointed tips, and about 8 cm (1/3 inch) wide.
As early as AD 502 apricot seeds were used to treat tumors and in the 17th century apricot oil was used in England against tumors and ulcers.
