Samuel Gawith: 1792 Flake 50g Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-059-0006

Samuel Gawith was the son-in-law of Thomas Harrison, a snuff manufacturer who moved his trade and equipment to Kendal, Cumbria, England from Scotland in 1792. Gawith inherited this equipment from Harrison, and the company has been crafting premium tobacco since, with one of Samuel's two sons continuing the brand while the other joined with Henry Hoggarth to establish Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Though offering separate blends, both brands remain forever linked and still share the same manufacturing facility in England's Lake District, utilizing processes and techniques that date to the brands' 1792 roots. In many of their mixtures, Samuel Gawith maintains the standards enforced by the United Kingdom's strict purity laws of the 19th and 20th centuries — such laws dictating how much and what type of flavorings could be added to pipe tobacco and ensuring that sub-quality leaf wasn't hidden under the veil of exorbitant toppings.

Samuel Gawith's most popular flake tobacco, 1792 features Dark-Fired Tanzanian leaf and Virginias that are steamed and then pressed. Before being cut, the plug is wrapped in a select leaf, pressed again for over two hours, and then baked in a steam press for another two to three hours, further marrying the flavors. Marked by a dark color and decadent flavor profile, 1792 is topped with tonquin and offers a bold, full-bodied smoking experience.

This is amazing on so many levels. I typically smoke English blends but this blend really makes me want more. I learned my lessons though and don’t pack this too tight in the bowl. It is strong, but as long as you sip it is truly a delight! Bought more in bulk because I am excited to see how some cellar time on this one turns out!...Read More

Very very strong. Requires concentration
October 31, 2024

Product: Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake 50g
This is a unique tobacco that’s very strong. It’s not strong in a way that a punch of Perique would hit you it’s a little more understated. Smoking requires concentration and study of the tobacco. If you’re looking for a tobacco that’s easy smoking while you can do something else this is not it. This is one that you fill up the bowl to just concentrate on the smoke. As stated from others, make sure you don’t have an empty stomach. 4.0 Star because I can tell it’s a great quality tobacco it’s just not my thing....Read More

Tonka bean train go puff puff
October 29, 2024
By: Christian
Product: Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake 50g
Seriously though, after spending some time with straight virginias and dark kentucky tobaccos to understand their notes as a new smoker to prepare me for later blends. This 1792 flake's tin note really suprised me as I've never had smelled tonquin; or atleast straight tonquin bean for that matter. Smoked very well and the flavor notes really struck me, a nutty legumey essence alongside the beautiful tobacco flavors. Still need more time with this to figure it out but it's an easy 5/5 for me right out the tin. Very unique to my palette. Will purchase again....Read More

Dark & Sweet
August 12, 2024

Product: Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake 50g
A good, strong tobacco with subtle sweetness. The tonquin is vanilla-adjacent and is stronger in the tin-note than in the actual smoke itself. To me this is a good tobacco when smoking around others who don't care for smoke. The scent is welcoming and I appreciate that because I don't like aromatics but this is a full-strength tobacco with the aromatic smell. That's a win in my book....Read More

Good but not great
July 13, 2024

Product: Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake 50g
This is some very good tobacco but for me it just doesn't reach that level of greatness that so many ascribe to it. I don't pick up on the tonka bean at all really. It's very subtle. I do at times get a bit of floral notes but nothing like lakelands. As far as the nic strength its defintely up there. Id rate it stronger than old dark fired or even hh rustica but not by much. The tin note and room note are what you would expect from a dark fired blend...smoky and earthy and a bit sweet. The flavors of smoking it to me compare to the two blends ive already mentioned by Macbaren. First third of the bowl is a bit harsh but mellows as it progresses. Tastes of smokiness and earth typical of burley and dark fired blends. You do pick up some grassiness of the virginias but they are faint. Personally i didn't find this blend to be so great that its worth waiting around for when it finally comes in stock. Id much rather smoke hh rustica or ODF which are readily available and taste just as good if not better in my opinion. If you haven't tried it order some. You may like it if you enjoy strong dark fired blends. But i think this one is a bit overhyped for me....Read More

Very Good

If you like tonka bean, this smells wonderful the moment you open it. If you don't, then youll hate this. I'm a little baffled by the dot-rating, though. This is strong! It's easily a "5". The room note is nice, I'd say "2" (though if you don't like tonka, then you won't agree). The taste rating is right. Needs to be rubbed out and dried off like all Gwaith flakes. Lights and burns well after that and didn't bite me a bit....Read More

Gawith Strongest
February 08, 2024
By: Ahmad Othman
Product: Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake 50g
Opening the tin you are greeted with a nice aroma hailing from loosely packed and already breaking earth dark flakes with a considerable moisture to them, a trademark of Gawith tobacco. They definitely need drying.Rubbing them they break down to chunkier bits rather than thin ribbons, however they pack and light fine given 30-40 minutes of dry time. It lights up easily and stays lit for the most part with very little maintenance required. It has voluminous smoke with what I find a pleasant note. But the taste doesn’t match the aroma. It tastes like what’s in the tin. Peppery and spicy african leaf that’s been dark fired and earthy virginias with a nice,nutty after taste. I can taste a tiny bit of the tonquin bean but only when paired with coffee (turkish or espresso) so I assume the casing is quite mild that it needs something bitter to make it apparent. This behaviour reminds me of a well made cuban cigar. It burns dry and never bites. Overall quite the enjoyable experience...Read More

Product: Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake 50g
This is a lovely blend, just started smoking it and Im blown away. The flavors are so unique perhaps its the tonquin bean that gives it that extra kick Im not sure Im still new to the world that is pipe tobacco but even my untrained taste buds know that is an amazing blend. I hope they release more......Read More
