Samuel Gawith: Fire Dance Flake 50g Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-059-0016

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.

Fire Dance Flake is the same straight Virginia blend as Samuel Gawith's Best Brown No. 6 Flake but topped with notes of blackberry, brandy, and vanilla — the blackberry being acting as the focal point, with the brandy and vanilla in supporting roles. It makes for a delightful room note and enticing, fruity flavor balanced by the Virginias.

깔끔하고 뒷맛을 잡아주는게 매력적 인거 같습니다 달콤한 베이스와 와우껌맛 같은 비록 연기에서 나는 향은 약하지만 향연초 치고 묵직하고 버지니아 특유의 단맛이 느껴집니다 A detailed explanation is written here, so go ahead and read it. https://simba-note.tistory.com/45
Best Brown, but improved... if that's possible

I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into with this. Cracked the tin, the note was amazing. My friend said his mouth started watering. The smoke is no less significant. They balanced all the components perfectly and this could become an all day sm... Read More

I believe I first purchased a tin of SG Firedanace Flake bc of the tin description - blackberry, brandy and vanilla. Sounded good. Later I discovered it was made with SG Best Brown Flake. You mean an aromatic made with a quality brown flake and no... Read More

Unlike most aromatics, this tobacco is not made up of cavendish with some virg/burleys cased in syrup. Quality Best Brown Flake flavored with Blackberry, Brandy and Vanilla make for a great flake smoke. I have a dedicated Boswell wedge pipe for thi... Read More

풍선껌!!

이틴을 맡아보고는 의아했다. 분명 몸은 기억하고있는데 도데체 알수가 없었다. 불이붙고난뒤에 입안을 적셔주고난뒤에 알았다. 어릴때 먹던 풍선껌맛이 난다는것을 ....불의 향연이 외국친구들에게는 이렇게 표현되나 하기도 싶다.

This was a very good tobacco. I even smoked this out of a $10 made in china pipe and I was very impressed. Sweet with very little bite(Chinese pipe) and a nice smell.
A Great Aromatic!

One of the best aromatics made. The flavor of blackberries and brandy come through with no problem. The flavors sit on quality tobacco which you can taste as well.
One Of The Best Aromatics That I've Ever Smoked!

The title pretty much says it all! The flavors don't hit you over the head with a sledgehammer....Perfect blend of flavor taste and tobacco taste!

I have smoked this product consistently for over 10 years. A conservative estimate in pounds would be 20+. A couple years back this product was not being manufactured or held up in export red tape, I forget exactly which. My last order, 5/250g boxes,... Read More

This is an ambivalent kind of smoke. At times it is rather pleasant, thats when it develops its quality character, a mild strength with low nic, smooth body and mild taste which is vaguely fermented with mild notes of vanilla and a distant background... Read More

I have smoked two tins of this blend from the years 2010 to 2013. Those two tins were absolutely wonderful. However, my thrid tin purchased in 2015 was not the same. The tin aroma was there, but the taste had totally changed and was not present. ... Read More
A full flavored tobacco.

Product: Samuel Gawith Fire Dance Flake 50g
This is the first flake tobacco I've tried. I highly recommend it, especially if you're into aromatics. It has a very pleasant room note, and it smokes well. The 1st time I tired it, I had to light it only once and it stayed lit all the way through t... Read More
Smooth, But....

Product: Samuel Gawith Fire Dance Flake 50g
Smooth, burned well, and very mild. But, like the previous reviewer's experience, the flavors just didn't come through. The tin note was pleasant enough, but I got almost none of that once it was lit.

Fantastic tin note, and the flakes look like quality tobacco. Unfortunatetly the flavours don't come through for me.
An Interesting Combo

Product: Samuel Gawith Fire Dance Flake 250g
I'll have to agree with Jeffrey's review; do not smoke this one fast. It will bite (of course) and you will get nothing, nothing but topping. And I don't like topping because it makes me feel that I am smoking plastic. And I don't like plastic. A... Read More
