Samuel Gawith: Brown Sugar Flake 50g Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-059-0069

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.

Brown Sugar Flake is a special collaboration between Samuel Gawith and The Danish Pipe Shop, among the prestigious pipe and tobacco shops in Cøpenhagen. The blend was crafted as a fuller-bodied ode to the old Orlik Brown Sliced, combining matured Virginias hot-pressed together with unflavored Cavendish and a pinch of Burley and Oriental leaf.

It seems to me that just when one maker introduces a great new tobacco blend, another comes out with a near carbon copy of it. Like they're all anxious to catch a hot trend. Brown Sugar is a deliciously rich, full flavored Virginia Flake with just the right level of sweetness, and medium strength, that reminds me of C+D's recently released Bijou flake. Lucky for us to have even more great tobacco to enjoy. The flavor is rich and complex with a perfectly balanced spice combined with sweetness expected of a mature VA blend. Don't be put off by words like "Brown Sugar" or Black Cavendish, for this is NOT an aromatic. Easily an all day smoke, with no noticeable bite. It comes from the tin fairly moist, and I found the flakes a bit tough to rub out, requiring substantial drying to smoke well and stay lit. But this blend is worth the extra effort. It's definitely a candidate for cellaring, if you're into that. Highly recommended!!...Read More
