Product: Samuel Gawith Cabbie's Mixture 50g
Cabbies Mixture became in instant favorite. It's got everything I love about Gawith's grade A Virginias with their excellent Perique all wrapped up (literally) into one fine twist. I would love if they offered the uncut twist for sale but I'm fine wi... Read More
th their sloppy coins as I usually rub them out regardless. I actually quite like the presentation and the sloppiness of the coins adds to the character of this historical company, it shows that they truly still do everything in small batches and their coins and flakes don't come out perfect like the STG giants. Some of their machinery used was purchased in 1792 (secondhand) and still used to this day! You just can't duplicate that in a warehouse, just imagine how seasoned some of those machines are! Anyone familiar with the quality of tobacco that is produced from this house can easily blind buy this tobacco and I'm certain they will be happy with their purchase. Not much to say about the flavors, everyone knows what to expect from a VaPer and if I tell ya it tastes like a bit of grass with some earthy tones it won't help you any, everyone says that about VA's and it becoming a bit clichéd. I will tell you that I don't think this is redundant if you have St. James Flake in your rotation as I have found plenty of room for both. Be careful with this one as it can sneak up on ya and give ya a big slap of nicotine and that's just another reason I love this so much. I open the tin, rub out the entire contents and give it at least two hours of drying time. After that, I just put it all back in the tin and it's ready to go and easy to lock and load any time I'm in the mood. This is up there with the best of them. Most definitely essential! Read Less

od enough to pack. The tin note is fermented plums and figs along with a note of dark hay. The taste is rich and full - more dense smoke and complex flavors going on here than in my other favorite VaPer Escudo. Burns to a fine white ash with consistent flavor throughout the bowl, the balance of flavors between the spice, the fermented fruit, and the grassy hay are just sublime. I will definitely try to get more of these in the future, just need to keep my e-mail alerts close because they go quick! My new favorite VaPer. Read Less

ger 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 Less

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!

The Elusive Cabbie Found Me At Last

Product: Samuel Gawith Cabbie's Mixture 50g
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 Virgini... Read More
a 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 Less

es Mixture” (they show a horse drawn cab on the tin). But whatever, I enjoyed it, thoroughly. Taste changed throughout the bowl, perhaps from the different moisture contents/burning time, from Perique (tighly spun center of coin), to the Virginia (loosely spun outer layer), with top dressing coming through at times, giving this blend a complexity usually reserved for English/Latakia/Oriental blends. Generous amounts of Perique, a sandalwood/wood smoke flavor coming subtlety through at times. Highly recommended. Read Less

The "Saison" of pipe Tobacco
March 10, 2016
Product: Samuel Gawith Cabbie's Mixture 50g
Tin: Nice packaging with a too-small image of a cabbie in a horse drawn carriage evoking turn of the century London.
Tin note: Citrusy, lemony, green hay/alfalfa, or green tea.
Cut: Nicely layered coins tending toward dark (surprising given the ... Read More
lighter aromas of hay and citrus....one expected lighter and more blond colors in the cut). A touch moist out of the tin but this makes it a pleasure to rub out.....soft and supple A bit of waiting while I repeatedly smelled my hands taking in the original tin notes.
Flavor: (Subjective) Green hay and alfalfa notes come through clearly.....the lemon/citrus not so much. An "herbal" smoke that made me think of French Farmhouse Ale and a touch of horse blanket (yeah...possibly a horrible connotation but stay with me for a minute...because it really works). A bit of pepper spice...particularly in the retro-hale. Some of these qualities faded just a bit toward the bottom of the bowl. Smoked nicely without much bite unless seriously abused and over-drawn.
Room Note: I find room note hard to gauge when I'm smoking but....not unpleasant but not as nice as some aromatics according to my innocent bystanders. Palatable and not off-putting
As mentioned previously the combination of tin note and flavor immediately created a mental connection with a good Farmhouse Saison ale.....so I went to the cellar and paired this with a 12oz. Dogfish Head Saison Du Buff....an ale crafted with sage, rosemary, thyme, & coriander. PERFECT combination of complimentary flavors and aromas. Grassy, citrusy, herbal, with a touch of spice from coriander in the boil.
Cabbies Mixture is a great blend that I will definitely revisit and seems ideal for slow and relaxed summer nights with a nice pale Saison. Read Less

ch of spice that will mislead you as to the sweet but earthy smoothness to follow, all the more impressive given the blend of virginias making up the background. This blows the cookie cutter sameness of Escudo, DNR, and the like right out of the water for me. Just enough perique that its flavor is in the forefront, but not enough to displease. In fact, unlike more perique heavy blends, this one is fantastic after a char and a day's wait. All of these would get it to four stars, no doubt. That fifth star is for the amazing way I suspect this blend will age, and age, and age. I am quite pleased the recent SG/GH merger has apparently not affected blend quality in any way. Read Less
