What an amazing tasting Whisky. Full of incredible flavour and an amazing syrup finish, this is definitely a collectors item. Perfect with your favourite cigar.

I tried this years ago when I was looking for a good Latakia blend but thought at the time it was a bit deficient in that department But I included a tin in this month's order and I am glad I did. This is a truly delicious tobacco - you could almost say it is a tobacco-y tobacco in the sense that if there is a topping it is probably tobacco juice... although the added richness is likely due to a toasting process.
It is a broken flake so a little moist - no bad thing because it takes the light easily and smokes sweet and cool straight from the tin. The flavours are intriguing... nutty, earthy with hay and a hint of liquorice in the background. It is one of those delightful tobaccos you hope will never end so you sip it gently to make it last longer. Towards the bottom of the bowl there is even a hint of pine... remarkable.

Somebody kindly posted a message to me on this forum that Samuel Gawith flakes are always very moist and should be dried out before attempting to smoke them. With that in mind I took out a couple of flakes, rubbed them down to something that I thought resembled rubbed tobacco and then left them to dry for 3 hours and certainly appeared to be less moist. The dry notes of this tobacco are a very strong scent of alcohol (I dont believe this scent is near the sweetness of rum, closer to a whisky scent) and a strange, almost plastic note in there which threw me a bit. The tobacco notes were strong, I believe this may be Latakia as it is quite a bot stronger and bolder than the other tobaccos that Ive tried.
I put it in my Peterson straight pipe (with a filter) and, after a bit of difficulty on the initial light, eventually got the pipe going. The tobacco smoked really well after the initial lighting stages, although it did go out on me unexpectedly once (two thirds of the way down) and again at the end.
The smoke was quite strong, but certainly was more to my liking given my prefer

This is a quality burley blend, nutty, malty, slow burning, I found rubbing out the flakes before filling the pipe the easiest way to smoke this..lovely stuff..will get this tobacco again.
