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.

A rope-cut blend, Brown No. 4 from Samuel Gawith offers a spun mixture of Dark-Fired Kentucky, Virginias, and cigar leaf for a robust and full-bodied flavor profile.

Tin note of smoky barbeque, mildly sour, and mild tart fruit. The sticky, three shades of brown, 25/32-inch (20 mm) fat rope needs slicing into thin coins (with a razor or thin sharp knife) and rubbed out to get the fastest drying time. Burn is slow and requires numerous relights. The strength is medium to strong and nic is medium to strong. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium to full and mostly consistent, with complex notes of smoky wood, very earthy, lemon grass, slightly bitter cigar, floral, moderately spicy, a sweet roasted nut background note, and very peppery retro. It's like Dark fired Virginia is wrapped around more Dark fired Virginia and a small amount of dark air cured Indian burley spun into a rope. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is outstanding....Read More

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 immediately 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 More
