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.

Samuel Gawith is known for its Brown No. 4 and Black XX rope-cut pipe tobaccos, but Cabbie's Mixture offers a rope already sliced into thin coins. Comprising Virginias and Perique, Cabbie's Mixture is all-day smoke that perfectly balances the sweetness of Virginias against Perique's spicy undertones.

Product: Samuel Gawith Cabbie's Mixture 50g
Tin note tart stewed fruit and spice. Tobacco coins are black with a little brown and dense, rubs out with effort. Tobacco needs a little drying time. Once started, burns slow with relights. The strength is med and nic is mild-med, both getting stronger toward the end. No flavoring detected. Tobacco taste is full, notes of sweet lemon raisin, grassy and quite peppery. Virginias and perique are neck and neck mostly throughout, maybe perique leads in the beginning and Va's in the last 2/3's, but I'm more inclined to say they are working well supporting each other. Room note is non offensive, and aftertaste was excellent....Read More

There was a time when it was possible to acquire this tobacco on demand. Then, people realized what they had in their hands and that time passed. Before, this was my tobacco of choice; so much so that I felt the need to share my love of it. So share I did—especially with a close friend who eventually died of a Ewing sarcoma in 2017. A couple of years later, I found his wife had been smoking this tobacco in his memory. At the time, she did not know I had introduced my friend to Cabbie’s Mixture. This incident has led this tobacco to remain close to my heart, even when it’s not readily available....Read More

This was the first bowl I didn't have to relight which of course means I got too much of it. Excellent smoke though. As soon as I like something, everybody else starts buying it too!
It’s not St. James. It’s different. I love it. A daily smoker when I have it.

I am about to put a review on the YTPC. I don’t like to be verbose in my descriptors. It’s got heavy dark fruit, that hay or grassiness and citrus even. The typical components of a VaPer. It has a very light floral note and something that sets it apart from other VaPers. Even 45 minutes into it, I still notice the flavor. It never diminishes. One or two relights in an hour. The only downside is obtaining it. Def. a must try!...Read More
The Elusive Cabbie Found Me At Last

I’d tried to get my claws on a tin of Cabbie’s Mixture for many months, to no avail. When I finally did, I found the blend solid, just not quite as impressive to my tongue as such world-class Samuel Gawith knockouts as Brown Number Four, Full Virginia Flake, 1792 Flake and one I have an affection for that many don’t find so amazing: Sam’s Flake. Upon cracking my lone tin of Cabbie’s Mixture, I chuckled affectionately when pulling out what Samuel Gawith intended to be “coins”. SG’s only coin mix is more like a mangled coin verging on tangles of ribbons, but I don’t mind. I can’t think of another blend rendered in this form, and it’s the only SG blend involving coins (or quasi-coins). Anyway, I found the tobacco was moist, but not as moist as I’ve found SG’s rope blends from their tins. The flavor was wheat toast with a decent amount of pepper and something like cinnamon or another mild spice. Every few puffs I could swear I could taste a bit of plum or fig jam on that toast. The body and nic-hit and flavor, like the room note, are uniformly medium. If you’re a VaPer-lover, or if you love SG as I do, you should try this, as difficult to obtain as it can be. One thing I’ll say about this one: it is indeed subtle, and despite only consisting of a VaPer’s two usual leaves, it is complex. 4.5 stars....Read More
