Maybe In My Top Three
April 26, 2018
Product: Samuel Gawith Bothy Flake 50g
Dense, perfect flakes of Virginia. Dark, semi-sweet chocolate, dark fruit, and dark malty beer. Notes of hay and grass poke through, but this blend is simply not meant for sunny days. The Latakia is a condiment in what I consider ideal measure- Te... Read More
asing at times, but there are moments where it steps fully out of the shadows. The whiskey is perfect and ambient. Real highland style scotch lends its brine, pine, and pear-like qualities. You know what, you'll probably hate this stuff. Buy something else. Read Less
Scotch and Fermented Sweet Pipe Tobacco... what could be better?
May 12, 2020
Product: Samuel Gawith Bothy Flake 50g
Flakes are almost black. The slight tang of scotch hovers atop a foundation of fermented VA which gradually builds throughout the bowl. Halfway through is when that full VA flavor, as only Gawith can offer, steps forward. The Latakia is approx 5% and... Read More
along side the malty fermented VA and tang from the scotch, results in a glorious, smoky/peaty scotch flavor. It’s extremely difficult to acquire. Bothy is one of my favorites. Nic is 2.5 out of 5. Read Less
틴이름대로 휴식처같은 연초이다
March 15, 2017
Product: Samuel Gawith Bothy Flake 50g
이연초는 분명 외국에 판매하지않는다고 했었다. 하지만 파이프클럽의 주문대로 위스키의 향을 버무려서 라타키아와의 조합은 정말 환상적이다. 처음부터 솔솔올라오는 위스키의 향이 내코를 자극한다. 그다음 혀를 적셔주는 라타키아의 향연이 몸서리치게한다. 정말 맛있는 비빔밥먹는 기분이다. 250그람이 없어서 불만이지만 이또한 다행이라 본다. 지금도 내손이 10틴이나 있기에,,,,
Pretty damm good

It’s all I want in an English blend and this is coming from an aromatic smoker. I was in need of a Scottish blend but this takes the cake. I certainly tast that tanginess and fruity notes
첫 라타키아 연초!
November 10, 2019
Product: Samuel Gawith Bothy Flake 50g
처음으로 접해본 라타키아 연초이다. 처음에는 신기한 맛이었다ㅎㅎㅎ 라타키아도 강하지 않아서 부담이 되지않았다 현재 3틴째 경험중인데 여전히 좋다!

Some blends need more than one bowl to make an impression on me. After my first bowl I still didn’t know what i thought about it. After several bowls I have come to love this stuff. Tobacco arrived very fresh and quite moist. Dark and sticky flakes. ... Read More
Opening the tin reveals a musty smell with a hint of scotch. You can smell the Latakia smokiness also. Kearvaig is in the Scottish Highlands so I can close my eyes and picture the cold, foggy, rain soaked mornings on which this blend is being smoked on the other side of the pond. Although compromised of mostly Virginia’s the smoke is not nearly as sweet as you’d associate with a pure Virginia Flake. The Latakia and the Scotch turn this flake into something pleasantly heavier. I’ll order again when it comes back into stock as these tend to go very quickly. Read Less
A musty flake
July 24, 2018
Product: Samuel Gawith Bothy Flake 50g
Upon opening a tin you could instantly smell that musty, peaty, earthy and plum aroma. The one I opened was a bit moist but rubbing it out and drying it for a bit like a minute or so made the moisture level spot on. Upon lighting it, you are greeted ... Read More
with that same musty and earthy flavor. Perfect for that rainy day at the patio! Just make sure to dry it first before smoking. Read Less

Another Gawith great.I am a big believer in all the Gawith tobaccos.In fact all the tobaccos sold here are valid,and have a place in the pipe tobacco repertoire .Lakeland especially.Bothy is well put together.I didn’t notice much Latakia due to smoki... Read More
ng too much Latakia Flake(my bad)and different from the others. There is no leathery taste as in Lakeland Dark,but no matter.I ask all smokers curious about the deep musty world of SMOOTH STRONG tobacco to try this. Read Less
Like a good scotch!
January 09, 2018
Product: Samuel Gawith Bothy Flake 50g
Upon opening the tin, the peaty scent of scotch and just a little latakia waft up to me, not an unpleasant experience. The first few puffs are a little sweet and peaty, further down the bowl, the sweetness fades and the natural tobacco flavor married... Read More
with the peaty-ness of the topping is prevalent and the latakia is just present in the background, coming and going. I enjoy tobaccos that are not overwhelmed by a casing or topping and allow that natural flavor to shine through. The latakia is a minor player in Bothy Flake, staying in the background throughout the smoke. The flakes are a bit moist and will require a little dry time. I enjoyed this tobacco, like a dram of fine scotch and will definitely be buying some more. Read Less
Very nice
December 16, 2017
Product: Samuel Gawith Bothy Flake 50g
Strong, somewhat unpleasant (nail polish remover) scent upon opening the tin. I did not not try a bowl at first. I put it in a jar for a few months and came back to it. The scent mellowed and transformed into a more boozy note. When smoking the g... Read More
rassy virginias came to life as the main flavor. The top note melding with the mild addition of Latakia became a welcomed side note. I can taste a subtle scotch flavor but it's very light despite the strong tin note. It's actually a very enjoyable tobacco. Similar to navy flake in the way it smokes with less Latakia and obviously a different flavor component. Read Less

Cider and Smoke
June 04, 2017
Product: Samuel Gawith Bothy Flake 50g
A surprising blend. I was a bit turned off on my first bowl, but after giving it sometime to breathe in the tin some new flavors arose. This may sound crazy, but I taste apple cider. The tin note, as well, has a cider smell to it! Perhaps its the way... Read More
the topping and tobaccos have combined but I do in fact taste a cider note. It has become a favorite. Not too strong, and could easily be an all day smoke. Love it. Read Less
Really good.
October 05, 2016
Product: Samuel Gawith Bothy Flake 50g
Really is a rainy day tobacco. Nice and smooth, creamy. But when it dries, it dries and it dries FAST. I try to keep all my tobacco sealed and ageing but this one was relentless. Dunno if I can keep it in a regular rotation considering I don't smoke ... Read More

Suprisingly Tasty
August 09, 2016
Product: Samuel Gawith Bothy Flake 50g
This tobacco is really quite good. The flakes are thick and wide and a little wet. I found cutting them into cubes works well. I would say the closest cellar 'cousin' I have to this is Peterson Irish Flake. Similar in some ways yet very different in ... Read More

Improved with time
November 16, 2015
Product: Samuel Gawith Bothy Flake 50g
To be honest, I didn't like this much first out of the tin. As one reviewer stated, it had a very strong and not necessarily pleasant odour upon opening. Not peaty scotch, not tobacco, more like fermented meat.
However, I rested this in the tin for ... Read More
a few months, and now not only is the moisture content much better--it was far too moist before-- but the acrid smell has settled, and I smell a nice Virginia flake here.
I tried rubbing it out, and I think this is the way to go for this flake. It burns cool and smooth with a delicious and unique flavor profile, unlike anything else I've tried. I cannot detect much in the way of Latakia, however that could be me--I'm a big fan of heavy Lat blends and may be a bit desensitized to it, but now after some time, it's a very pleasant experience!

Different
November 08, 2015
Product: Samuel Gawith Bothy Flake 50g
Upon opening the tin, I was met with a powerful odor, like a mix of Bazooka Bubble Gum and an industrial solvent. I was prepared to dislike it. However, after lighting up (it was a bugger to get lit - pretty moist). Once lit, however, it burned all t... Read More
he way to the bottom. Once I tasted it, I fell in love. This is wonderful stuff, smooth and very different from the English blends I usually smoke. It has a unique flavor - very pleasant. Read Less
Very Good! Nice and strong
May 29, 2015
Product: Samuel Gawith Bothy Flake 50g
A great smoke if you like strong flavor that isn't relying on a casing. Love the hits of Latakia. Too much for the summer heat though. Will be great for when the weather cools, or a nice rainy day sitting out on the porch.
