Samuel Gawith: 1792 Flake 8oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-059-0072

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.

Product: Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake 8oz
You have to at try 1792. It is such a classic flavor and the finest leaf available is used to create this blend. The topping is mildly sweet, enough to tie the blend of VA and DFK together. The tin note will take you back to over 200 years ago. The smoke is creamy, oak smokey, leathery, and there’s an earthy vanilla sweetness. The nicotine strength is medium/strong. The packaging is the plastic T.V. dinner tray type, so you will want to have some mason jars for storing....Read More

The tin note reminds me of something from my past. I can't quite put a finger on it, but it is very nostalgic for me. I have my nose in the jar frequently. Leather, smoke, vanilla, coffee, grandad's workshop, flowers ..etc. I love it. I'm getting to the bottom of my first tin and placed an order for 2 more pounds. I'm hearing it's not the easiest tobacco to find, so I suppose I owe it to fortunate timing and a little dumb luck I was able to purchase that much before my jar runs empty. That amounts to about a year or two supply for me at the rate I'm smoking it. This tobacco is rich and dark like a strong coffee. No bitterness nor bite. Exceptionally smooth. Velvety on the tongue. The topping comes through very little in the flavor. I have to sip very slowly, let it linger on the palate, and then retrohale to get it. I think I wish there was a little more sauce on it? But what do I know about blending? It would probably be to the detriment of the 1792 experience that I've grown to adore. I can't comment on the room note, but I think it might be tolerable for non-smoking company. I've never had a bad bowl of it. Whether it be stuffed or rubbed out or the flakes be moist or allowed to dry. It's been wonderful. For me it's a perfect smoke for first thing in the morning with a cup of coffee or at the end of the evening with an herbal tea. It smokes extremely cool. I'm immune to nicotine, but I've heard this one can pack a punch. Probably true on account of the satisfaction I feel after a bowl. Not unlike a perfectly portioned and prepared meal. I can't say enough about how much this tobacco means to me. The tin note alone is worth the purchase for me. Absolute top five for this guy!...Read More

One of my favorites. Quite strong and easy to smoke. I don’t recommend smoking this on an empty stomach.
8oz packaging not ideal for aging

This is far and away one of my favorite blends, for all the reasons outlined in the reviews of the 2oz tins. It should be noted though, buying gawith blends in this 8oz format means the tobacco arrives in a plastic tray with shrink wrap, like a TV dinner. I’m not sure this is the best venue for long term aging, so word to the wise, have some jars available if you intend to store this blend for a longer timeframe....Read More

非常好,我叼着一斗1792在写评论,当初是阴差阳错下买的这款草,现在想来买少了,等我把其他的草抽一抽,再来屯。
对我来说感觉是清爽,甜味明显,气味没有口味更让我喜欢。是一款抽起来清爽,香甜,厚重都合适的烟草,不会让你感觉腻。
