Burnt wire
January 20, 2018
Product: Samuel Gawith Black XX 50g
Love the Tin art, the rope presentation and the tin note. In fact it reminded my of the smell of old dark fired from macbarren which I love. Once xx is lit up I got a flavor of burnt wires and dirt mixed with burning hair. It was horrible. I haven’t ... Read More

I bought a pound of this, blind, back in 2008. Why, you ask? Because I require horrific mistakes against which to view my more modest successes.
Fresh, it was like smoking a high tech factory fire, with hints of rubber, toxic resins, and a linge... Read More
ring WTF finish.
If I ever work up the courage to try any of the 15.98 ounces that I "cellared"... I will update this review. But me thinks 100 yrs is the appropriate amount of aging for this pile - because to enjoy it, your palet needs to be that non functional.
This is not indicative of Samuel Gawith's other offerings many of which (my experience being with the non aromatics) are very fine.

Does Not Appeal

Product: Samuel Gawith Black XX 50g
I was intrigued with the presentation and had to get some of this rope. While it looks impressive, the smell of it was not pleasant. "Not a problem" I thought, as it's important to give all of the tobacco chance. After packing and lighting, I was not... Read More
pleased. The smell was foul, something akin to burning circuitry, mesquite, and rank oil all at once. I also don't like when my pipe hand stinks after smoking. My impression after six months is unchanged as far as aroma goes. As for flavor, I did pick up some sweeter notes on the tobacco after some rest and there was no bite, however, the smell makes me think I'm smoking something toxic. Read Less

Everyone else does.For many bad reviews it's always sold out and does so fast.Its really good.Buy all you can.If you don't like it trade it later.
Product: Samuel Gawith Black XX 50g
I love it. To me it has a taste like the burnt ends of a brisket. A charred beefy flavor. It is nice cool slow burning and has kind of a heavyness to the smoke.

Don't pay attention to any negative review about this amazing tobacco. This is exactly what the gods intended tobacco to taste like. If you have any complaints after smoking Black XX then I suggest you trade in your Grabow for a Vape box and join the... Read More

This rope is not for the timid or wanna be cowboys, or girls for that matter!!! I opened the tin and thought a dog pooped in it. The aroma is strong, the taste is strong, its just plain strong but very good. Absolutely great if you ask me!
Product: Samuel Gawith Black XX 50g
It packs a punch. Brazen in flavor, feel, and nic. Not a greenhorn's blend. However, it will help in learning a lesson that encourages slow smoking.
I bought my 1st tin just before Thanksgiving a couple of years ago. The tobacconist that recommended ... Read More
it to me said, "Open this to let it breath a bit before you eat, then after the big dinner, go OUTSIDE. Bring a strong flavored drink like a stout, scotch or coffee, then SIT down, and smoke slow. Be sure you have nothing to do immediately after your smoke."

Cut thin coins with a cigar cutter, rub it out, dry it to just before crispy, smoke. I was rewarded with a cool, sweet, tasty smoke.
Interesting!!

Tobacco Stake! Smells great both lit and unlit. Spicy and round, heavy on nicotine. Great for a quick chew as well. This was my first rope tobacco and I enjoyed it so much it got me started on some serious sampling of other ropes too.
Great meaty smoke

great smoke, I ordered this due the hype and my love for brown no 4. But no 4 is still better in my opinion.
Good but Lookout !

Very tasty like a Toscano style cigar but very strong and potent ! Id rather chew it than smoke it !

어떤이는 이연초를 태울때 나는 냄새는 "개털태우는 냄새"라고 말한다. 동의한다. 또 어떤이는 향속에 묻어나오는 버지니아의 고소함이 슬며시 느껴진다 라고도 한다. 이또한 동의한다. 버지니아의 특유의 훈증방법으로 탄생한 이녀석은 분명 호불호가 정확하게 갈린다. 그래서 나역시 절반의 기쁨이라고 본다

Product: Samuel Gawith Black XX 50g
My first time smoking Black XX, and a rope tobacco. I was a little afraid of this due to its reviews, but I have to say I love this tobacco.
The tin note was like a medium cigar and I thought, I may as well smoke a good cigar. Boy am I glad I fol... Read More
lowed through. After a little drying time I packed it into my small church warden and was instantly hit with a medium-well grilled steak flavor that only gets better on the retrohale.
The nicotine is there but not overwhelming like some reviewers have suggested. It really needed more drying time, but a great smoke none the less.
It is really good out of the tin and I imagine it will be wonderful when aged. I will definitely be adding this my regular rotation and to my cellar. Read Less

Was given some of this to try by a friend. Very strong over powering taste when being smoked. What you smell from the tin is what you can expect to taste. Managed to get through a full bowl and WOW. Very strong and I just wanted to nap after it.

This a very intense tobacco. Not for the faint of heart! Beware, it leaves a lingering flavour in the pipe (not always unpleasant).

Stellar

Product: Samuel Gawith Black XX 50g
This is a stellar smoke. Perfectly balanced - strong, yet mild after a while. Tremendous flavor with great class. This is the Havana's "Davidoff Dom Perignon" of the Virginia world.

This is a very tough tobacco, and very different from anything I had smoked before. Tastes like rubber, burnt steak and so on, and it leaves your pipe temporarily smelling like it suffered a short circuit. I think it is very strange to most of us bec... Read More
ause it has no casing or "spicing" at all. Still, it's not bad, and it is worth trying, if you are in a very adventurous mood. Read Less
