About This Pipe Tobacco

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.

Golden Glow from Samuel Gawith is a straight Virginia mixture from the English blending house. It comprises flue-cured Golden Virginias that are pressed and, then, matured before being cut and tumbled into a broken flake marked by a medium body and slight, natural sweetness.

This has to be one of SG's most underrated tobaccos. You've got to take your time with this one and smoke it slow and easy in order to pick up on the nuanced flavors. Yummy!
Nice straight Virginia

I've seen some Virginia blends described as 'grassy' before, but never got that flavor until this one. Definitely a bright taste, a little sweet, a little sour. I find it a nice change from the other Virginias and VaPers I usually smoke. The cut is part broken flake, but most of it is more like a thick ribbon cut. Packs easily, no bite if you smoke at a reasonable pace.. Got the 250g size and jarred up a quart - I suspect it will age very well, meanwhile am enjoying the generous portion left over. This could definitely be an all day smoke for Va lovers if you like the 'grassy' varieties. Just wish it was in stock more....Read More
A Very Bright Smoke

Very bright and citrusy blend that requires few relights. It's even bright and cheerful to look at in the tin, like the infamous Golden Block. But this stuff burns so much better! And when paired with a cold pint of Belgian, I don't see how life can get any better.
Richness in gold.

Sweet, clear and fragrant.Though it is packed leaving a flake or broken flake, when taking out it becomes a wet ribbon cut.
