The best

years I'd probably be fine in the sun with it. But definitely a perfect end of the work day, sitting on the porch with a book or your thoughts kind of smoke. It's sweet, smokey in the deep bbq sense, a little bready, and it's strong. The casing is extremely subtle, almost nonexistent while smoking. Personally I like to roughly rub this one out with fairly large chunks left. For me it just works best that way. Occasionally I'll just fold a flake, but it's extremely oily and will leave your pipe very moist after. Usually throw this in a large, deep bowl for a satisfying hour+ smoke. I would take this type of smokey flavor over an English, even though I do like English blends too. It just has such a great flavor. Very strong virgina flavor as well. It's just a fantastic blend. I only have two jars left so I hope it's in stock again soon. I've been mixing up my smokes more to make this last longer because it's hard to find....Read More

1792 Flake

I implemented with Quiet Nights from G.L. Pease. Long thin strips, cut into ¼” pieces, but I didn't rub this tobacco out.
After a few hours of drying time, I loaded it into my Huck Finn cob. It filled the bowl perfectly.
As I lit the first layer of the tobacco, I could smell that sweet Tonquin just chomping at the bit to be noticed, and it wasn't neglected. It's possibly the most delicate flavor I've ever tasted from tobacco.
I haven't enjoyed a blend with Dark Fired Kentucky in it until this meeting. One must be careful when lighting, it can and does bite with a dark, offended flavor like a hastily smoked cigar. So, gentle puffs are paramount.
This is yet another blend that will be a mainstay in my cellar. It is divine providence that it should come to me now, to be burned in my bowl and savored upon my tongue.
The Virginias are so sweet and flavorful, which are then accented by the Tanzanian leaf's robust, spicy and assertive nature. The strength is so confident that this needs to be slowly appreciated.
It required a handful of relights, but I care not. It burns evenly and cleanly makes its way down the bowl.
If this is what late 18th century tobacco is like now, then Samuel Gawith and Kendal House are a testament to craftsmanship and tradition.
The strength is remarkable. The room note is so reminiscent of a good strong cigar, and it waltzes through with the underlying seductive sweetness of the Tonquin flavoring.
If you enjoy robust, complex, sweet and flavorful tobaccos, it would behoove you to experience this. You will not be disappointed....Read More
