Great tobacco not so good in bulk
October 27, 2017
Product: Samuel Gawith Brown No. 4 250g
I love this tobacco its my everyday smoke. However the box version kind of sucks, I've bought 3 boxes so far and only one of them on non dried out tobacco. The other two were hard as rocks
Strong but smooth

Product: Samuel Gawith Brown No. 4 250g
This is the strongest tobacco I have ever smoked. That being said, I have smoked at least a couple of kilograms over the years. It does have a wonderful, earthy aroma and complex taste.
If you are going to smoke this start with a small bowl and mak... Read More
e sure you have some food in your stomach. If you are not used to the strength it will make you sick straight away.
Cutting the rope to make sure it burns well may take trial and error, but once you get it down you will find it stays lit nicely.
Please enjoy - and if you do not like it, please send it to me.
Cheers! Read Less
The Best Twist You Can Buy
December 05, 2016
Product: Samuel Gawith Brown No. 4 250g
I absolutely love this Twist. To me it still has a pipe tobacco character, opposed to a cigar. It smokes cool and has a decent amount of smoke out put. I'm a nicotine fiend and I find this to have the largest nic hit of any pipe tobacco (flake, twist... Read More
, plug, etc) that I've ever smoked. It's the only tobacco that I've ever niccupped on. It's smooth and I've never had bite from it. If I could only ever smoke one type from now until pipe smoking kills me... This would be it!!! Read Less

Well I do and I love this stuff! However I will say it does require a bit of prep work but that only builds the anticipation so don’t let it detract from the excellence of this blend. Cut with a steak knife into rounds don’t worry about jarring immed... Read More
iately it’s not necessary or recommend it can and should sit out for at least a week or 2 and be perfectly fine. Prior to smoking however you are going to want to further cut your pre made rounds into smokable shreds with your trusty steak knife microwave for 45 seconds in a coffee mug (it’s strange I know but trust me). Pull that sucker out of the microwave give that steaming mug a big wiff! and pack into preferably in a small briar pipe then have at it! Read Less
No Problems for Fast Puffing for Me
April 29, 2013
Product: Samuel Gawith Brown No. 4 50g
The nicotine is very strong here. That being said, I found with substantial drying and cutting coins - the taste is a nice straight-forward tobacco. Definitely worth the hassle of prepping the twist.

Only my second rope tobacco to try... and I like it! Smooth and strong, nice tin note and manly room note.

Welcome To Rope Tobacco Heaven, Level Four

Product: Samuel Gawith Brown No. 4 50g
Here’s a tin you might have to fight, and fight hard, to obtain, but any very serious pipesters should. It’s worth at least one try. Old Brown Number Four will transport you to the forth level of Paradise, but it must be cut, dried out and packed jus... Read More
t right. I achieved this only on my third smoke session of this blend, after “The Great Gawith Smoke Session That Wasn’t” and a retry of the same bowl the following morning.
Admittedly, in my first session I packed the bowl just too tightly, but just as mistakenly, I packed it minutes after opening the tin for the first time. I expended almost all of the butane in my pipe lighter in a futile attempt to keep my meerschaum’s bowl lit. I soon put the pipe aside, and cut up another small section of the rope and let it dry overnight on my foyer’s “tobacco table.” My wife was struck by the strength of the drying tobacco’s aroma, something between pure, natural tobacco and barbecued beef brisket. She was standing about eight feet away in another hallway. Never before had she commented on the scent of any drying blend atop my table.
Early the next morning, despite sitting out overnight, my packed meerschaum didn’t burn that well in my second smoking session. It was only in my third session, when I then loosely packed the portion I’d dried overnight into a briar, that I fully experienced this blend in all of its old-fashioned Kendal glory.
Pipesters disagree on the complexity of this blend, some calling it magnificent (due to its rich flavor) but still one-dimensional. But all will testify to its sheer strength. It’s best puffed after a decent-sized meal and probably best after dinner—an evening smoke. Regardless, of all twist blends, this is the one that to me best celebrates that rope or twist tradition that only the English seem to keep alive.
That following morning after breakfast, that loosely packed bowl of dried-out twist burned better and I reached that pipester nirvana I’d sought. Retrohale at least once, feel it burn past your nasal cavities as it leaves your nostrils, and fully take in the flavor and it’s true scent.
And then you’ll find the reason this blend, at least in the tin form, sells out so soon after being posted on a vendor’s website.

If you are not used this one, eat well before you try it. Try mixing it 50/50 with the black rope.

청국장이다 라고 말할수밖에 없는연초

Product: Samuel Gawith Brown No. 4 250g
일반연초가 된장국이라면 분명 이연초는 청국장이다. 진득하면서 묵직하게 올라오는 마치 시가의 향연과도 같다. 하지만 초보자들에게는 조심하라고 말하고 싶다. 와 ~맛있다...라고 하면서 동시에 니코틴펀치가 올수가 있으니까 말이다. 강한만큼 맛은 분명있다.

This tobacco is for serious smokers only. Cut the ropes in to coins and fill your pipe. There is a massive amount of nicotine here. It is almost like smoking a cigar that has been soaked in to a beef stew. There is a beef taste with this tobacco. It ... Read More
burns slowly. This is what I pack when I am bear hunting in the cold Ontario fall mornings - watching over the clearings for hours on end. This rope tobacco can also be chewed if you desire.

A wonderful blend. Like the plethora of people before me, this blend is strong and with a higher than usual dose of nicotine. It has a great flavor profile and produces a masculine, tobacco room note. If you want your beard to grow a beard, for anyon... Read More

Goodbye old tobaccos
March 04, 2015
Product: Samuel Gawith Brown No. 4 50g
For me, the great problem with this rope tobacco, as well as with the "Black XX Rope" (and a few others), is that once you smoke these "true and essential" tobaccos, the rest of your cellar will be left bereft of your eyes and companionship. It will ... Read More
