Samuel Gawith: Cabbie's Mixture 50g Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-059-0065

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.

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

Great Va-Per

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

This is as close to an all day smoke I could ever imagine. Surely worth a run!

Starts out a bit peppery and settles into a nice mellow VA / PER. It has a character of warmth like I might feel relaxing in a rocking chair by a fire on a really cool night. I have to pace myslef so that i do not go through my stash too quickly.

My First!!

When you don't know much then there is not much to know. My first pipe I bought was from Peterson whilst on holiday in Dublin. Bought a 2nd quality and saved a bunch btw. However this was the tobacco the guy sold me there and i've been trying to find a replacement since. Escudo and Bullseye are great but not this. Can not wait for it to be back in stock someday....Read More

Vastly Underrated!

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 with 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 More
