Product: Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake 50g
ine-sick on this when I folded a couple of flakes in one of his pipes--he is not a "folder" while I am and I wanted to show him how folding changes the experience with the same tobacco. I have never had an issue with 1792 but I can sense the strength of it. Frankly I find the comments of smokers who LOOK for a "nic hit" to be juvenile--sorry fellows, that's MY opinion--that's not what pipe smoking is all about. If I never noticed nicotine in my tobacco I'd be happy, but my experience here does urge me to caution new smokers or those susceptible to nicotine-sickness.
I've had some other friends cut 1792 with a favorite VA or Burley blend and the wonderful flavor of 1792 still came through, they told me, they didn't get the same strong effect of the nicotine, and they enjoyed the 1792--cut back. I've never tried that but it's an option. You know yourself better than anyone. If you like strong tobacco, if you love Latakia, if you are a fan of the Tonquin Bean, and if you are also a fan of flakes, this might be just the smoke you've been looking for. It's one of my favorites, and I smoke a wide variety of blends. Read Less
Welcome To the Olde Worlde.

Product: Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake 250g
rs of the leaf any better as it just perfectly enhances the Dark Fired and Virginia leafs. This is a true, olde worlde British tobacco and one of the finest on the market. I would not consider this a Lakeland scented tobacco as I don't pick up on any floral or perfume notes whatsoever. I buy this stuff by the box and I like to lay all the flakes out and dry them for a couple of hours before properly packing them into ball top jars for immediate rotation. If I'm wanting to cellar it, I prefer to keep the flakes moist as I think they age better in that state. The nicotine is in the brilliant range (high) and the smoke is heady and stout but also smoooooth as velvet. If you tend to like olde worlde style flakes and you have yet to try this bad boy, than look no further. It doesn't get any better than this my friends.

Virginia with tonka bean flavour.
December 26, 2016
By:
Swiss-smoker
Product: Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake 50g
th tobaccos are usually soaking wet, I rub it out to a Ribbon Cut and spread it out for drying overnight. This will also help to tame the strong smell of the added flavouring.
This mixture consists of Virginia and Kentucky only. Here “Kentucky” being dark-fired Burley from Tanzania. According to the producer this mixture has been flavoured with tonka bean, and sometimes other sources mention Whisky flavour, too. This mixture is strong, but not overly. No beak-pecking sharpness or tongue-burns. High nic-hit. Excellent smoking mechanics in any respect.
Smoking this mixture is a totally different story, than smelling this stuff! Virginia is the backbone of this blend. They are robust with aromas mainly of yeast, bread, grass and hay. The Kentucky is more difficult to isolate. It’s welcome because it donates power, spice and some nutty, earthy notes to the blend. The tonka bean flavouring is far away from being as obvious as in tin. It’s actually mellow and pleasant, not obtrusive at all, especially after the blend has been aired considerably. And I am normally scared away by Aromatics, dreadful Lakeland essences, flavourings and toppings. May be this mixture is the exception to the rule.
I cannot find a single trace of Whisky flavour, if there is any at all. There is ample sweetness around, either from the Virginias, from the tonquin flavouring or from a sweet topping. It has not been overdone, though. It’s a robust, tasteful mixture, leading into depth to a certain extend. The aromas are not intriguing in the first half of the bowl, but they enhance pleasantly in the second half of the bowl. I get the impression of smoking two very different blends. Delicious room note. Interesting experience. However, this mixture is not really my pair of shoes. Read Less

可以尝出1792中的一些风味，但是差了一半以上都丰富程度，说清淡还真说不上三星的清淡，烟气依然浓郁，要我评，这款草的口感该在5心，室韵3星，强度四星，话说布朗四对比gh棕绳，四号在口感上提升是非常大一截，当然不知道年份上来以后反馈是什么样，还没尝过，一样都诟病，sg家但草还是有点潮湿，需要醒，而且让我这个懒人最烦的是，fvf,1792,不好揉，烦，有给预揉版本就好了，但味道真是十足的好，丰富多彩，中段花香果香已经融到一起了，哇，真是可以，但是依然不推荐新手，因为新手很可能尝不出味道，这是都会遇到的问题，新手还是适合抽甜度高烟气淡的，味道会更容易体会。
最后，1792早上一斗，晚上一斗布郎四，一天两斗，完全足够包括我抽完布朗四紧接着就是换一把烟斗抽1792，也不觉得尼古丁让人难受什么，没有出现什么锁喉头晕的情况，我只是被这浓郁的香气惊讶到说不出话，但喜欢中等强度的朋友可以值得尝试1792，味道一定会让你大吃一惊，如果你能唱的出来的话，但我相信不是难事，有经验的人体会这款草一定会给出很高的评价，清淡但却不失浓郁的香气，浓郁却不浓烈的烟气，用香浓比较合适，但不是奶香，而且毫不相关，香浓的花香果香，可能是比较贴切的形容。 Read Less

. The cool brightness of the virginias is just enough to compliment the dark fired's smoky brisket flavor and mellow it out to an overall profile and smoking experience that I could only liken to sitting by the bbq, on an early summer night, in the countryside.

This British Brisket Scores a “SIX”
October 17, 2020
Product: Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake 50g
removed from 1792 Flake itself: Peterson’s Irish Flake and Mac Baren’s Old Dark Fired. The stringy black broken flakes looked and smelled much like the blackened portions of brisket that I’ve eaten here in central Texas. Except this was tobacco blended by our cousins across the pond!
My wife, who dislikes the tin note or pouch note of almost all pipe tobacco blends, confirmed the similarity in smell of 1792 to the local brisket we enjoy. She even loved the aroma.
And what a delight was the smoke session that followed. The use of tonquin bean is masterful, the moderate but not excessive use of dark-fired Kentucky was blended in calculated portions, with both of these ingredients achieving an impressive spiciness. There’s just enough Virginia to turn up the sweetness meter to a notable level. Overall, what I tasted was a flake not as “rough around the edges” or strong as Irish Flake (which might be my favorite blend) but is still almost as complex. It’s perhaps easier to smoke than IF or ODF. Coffee, and not brisket, emerges in the aftertaste and especially the retrohale.
A home run by Gawith! Or should I say, a boundary four, or a “SIX” by the English cricketeer! 5.0 stars. Read Less

Among the Best "Dark" Flakes
August 22, 2019
By:
Olmstead
Product: Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake 250g
ompare this to, and like most blends from the Lakeland region, it's unique. If you're familiar with Gawith-Hoggarth's "Dark" flakes, this will be a familiar (but different) affair, including the nicotine punch. Open the tin and you're greeted with a row of roughly-cut, dark brown, almost black flakes. The tin note isn't terribly appealing; sort of like a barbecued old boot with a hint of sugar and spice. Aficionados will notice the Tonquin bean topping even before lighting it up. Once lit, your senses will be awash in delicious flavors you probably weren't expecting; the Tonquin bean is right there alongside the dark-fired smokiness, but with a bit of Virginia sweetness that rounds-out the profile. Dark-fired leaf doesn't totally dominate the flavor profile here, which is nice. The room note; file it under the category of "Divorce Tobacco". Moisture content is very high. I read many reviews that wrote-off an SG blend because the reviewer obviously didn't dry it out enough. These flakes need significant preparation time, period. To conclude, if you're looking for a flake that's bold and deep in flavor, with significant nicotine content, and an old fashioned appeal, this is your flake—so long as you don't mind a little prep time. No doubt that 1792's appearance, aromas, and flavors will take you right back to the good ol' days of pipe smoking. Read Less

Intoxicating... in the best way.
June 14, 2018

Stephen E.
Product: Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake 50g
y chemical tastes and having that nasty mouth feel often present in the vast majority of aromatics. Like most SG flakes, this one comes wet, even in my 250g box/bag. The flakes are a dark brown (and long in the larger box), almost black in appearance, and they come more fragile than the unscented SG flakes, but that is no bother. The aroma upon opening the tin or bag is intoxicating and potent, and although I've never heard of a tonquin bean in my life you can consider me a lifelong fan. Sometimes I'll bury my nose in the tin and just inhale that sweet aroma until I can't smell anything. I think it's prudent to dry the flakes out before smoking, with my preference being dry to the touch, but with a little give. 1792 flake smokes like a dream, and I often find myself sending billowing clouds of smoke into the air from top to bottom with very few relights necessary. The nicotine level is high, and although it's not the strongest blend in existence, it most definitely packs a punch in both nicotine and body. For the smoker with a low vitamin N tolerance this is no problem, because 1792 flake tastes fantastic on the relight and even near the bottom of the bowl, where it can get a little bitter, the sweet stopping still comes through. I do think that there is something here for almost everyone, excluding only those with a very high sensitivity to nicotine. The aromatic crowd has the incredible tonquin dressing to enjoy, and lovers of rich, strong tobaccos will find plenty to enjoy as well. If you don't enjoy the topping I highly recommend Lakeland dark, as it fully captures all the flavors of these rich, delicious tobaccos without any top flavor getting in the way. For me... I'm going to have both on hand at all times. Read Less

ne thing worth mentioning is how forgiving it is. Many lakelands can be easily ruined by going too hard. You may as well dump your pipe if you smoke grousemoor and ennerdale too hot...but not 1792. It gives you a second, third or fourth chance to slow it down and enjoy the intensity of its top grade tobacco and toppings. Read Less
thoughts on 1792 from a former cigar smoker
October 21, 2016
By:
Tom P.
Product: Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake 250g
obaccos it didn't take long to gravitate towards the powerful blends. And by powerful I don't mean harsh, I mean full bodied flavor. And this is a real treat. When the smoke dances on my tongue I feel like I could chew it. Some suggest using a small bowl. Not me, I use my big Churchwarden pipes made by Paul Becker, some custom made for me with even bigger bowls. I'll sit down with a couple of IPA beers and put a movie on and 90 to 120 minutes later I'll float upstairs and sleep like a baby. The flavor is so rich and deep and soothing and dare I say if smoked right even mild, and yes it's rich in nicotine. I don't let it dry out, it takes longer to get it going the other tobaccos but once going I just have the normal amount of relights. And this is smooth, no tongue bite, and as long as you are using a clean pipe, I don't think as hard as you try you will get a harsh bite either. The only thing I suggest is you try to dedicate pipes to this or other Gawith blends of similar style and a good idea to clean the pipe more frequently as I can start to sense the pipe getting sour from using only 4 times.
I did have some quality control issues with the last batch I got, the aroma was nauseating so waiting to get more that I will have SP open a few of the tins to test for me. Read Less

I filled up my Peterson sitter and went out on the porch to smoke it. 'Twas good that I was sitting down because, as others have noted, it does have quite a nicotine jolt. I found that I liked the taste of the Tonquin quite a bit. Other than the nicotine jolt , it was not a really harsh smoke and burned down to a fine grey ash with only a single lighting. I think this will be a good smoke for either the end of the day or to accompany a good read. Despite it's strength, it is wonderfully smooth. I like this a lot. Read Less
Frustrating tobacco

Product: Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake 50g
smoke right from the tin, dried it a little then dried it further till the point it's really dry. I have also packed the bowl differently - folded flake, cube and rubbed out. I have also packed them loose, slightly more compressed to really compressed. Despite all my effort, I always had issues keeping the bowl lighted up. My relight was so frequent i barely had a chance to lean back and enjoy the smoke the light would be out again. There was never a time i had the chance to relax and figure out the flavors from the smoke. Every single time, I would dump the remaining half bowl away due to frustration from the relighting. It is not a bad tobacco and it seems only I have faced such problem. I will probably buy another tin of Samuel Gawith: 1792 Flake sometime in future and I will edit my review if I don't suffer from the same issue again. Read Less
