Samuel Gawith: Cannon Plug 8oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-059-0074

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's Cannon Plug is a plug-cut, Aromatic version of Best Brown Flake featuring hand stripped, flue-cured Virginia tobaccos that are then graced with a honeydew flavor for a deliciously sweet smoke.

Great Taste and Aroma

Product: Samuel Gawith Cannon Plug 8oz
Love this blend and the plug cut keeps a lot of the flavor together. Honey does come out during the smoke along with the natural sweetness of the Virginias. Was a bit hard to light the flake cut straight off the plug, may do better with a little bit of dry time. However, after toasting and getting it lit, flavor was perfect. Looking forward to smoking this one more....Read More
Initial Take

Product: Samuel Gawith Cannon Plug 8oz
I dont how this will age it smells heavily cased with perfume and it tastes really weird honey and melon can’t go hand in hand or i don’t taste them like others do. i opened the jar and left it open after trying one bowl just hoping the casing will settle or fade. I do regret getting this instead of fire-dance plug where i do believe the other one you can taste the cherry vanilla and the topping is just right....Read More
Full flavoured aromatic

It's a magnificent piece of tobacco, oh the smell... Smell takes me back to childhood as it smells exactly like my grandpa's medicinal cabinet in a good way of course. I find the smell to be sweet with notes of sweet lemon and some spices like cinnamon. Some say it tastes like Grousemoor plug on steroids. I disagree, as it tastes like it smells - sweet, bold, spicy. Grousemoor on the other hand has that salty note. Anyway fresh plug is so intense that it ghosted my favourite cob just from one bowl, so beware of the ghost! Anyway, it's my favourite aro. If you don't like soapy lakelands or don't like intense flavour you might want to look elsewhere, otherwise be sure to check it out. One more thing - no matter how well you store it, topping evaporates over time. After few months stored in jar left untouched it still lost a lot of aromatic taste....Read More
Melons

Melons topped onto their BBF Plug? Oh yes, what a treat! I love SG/GH Plugs & Flakes and this is rightly suited for the jar. I shaved off a small cube upon arrival & it was rather intense, but very tasty. I eagerly wait for a monthly check up.

I took a chance on this one and it really paid off. Cannon Plug is definitely in my top 5 tobaccos. I was a little concerned when I opened the package and was hit with a strong aroma of floral perfume. However, with no additional age on the plug, I sliced a small portion into small cube cuts, dried it thoroughly, and was greeted with a mild, flavorful smoke that is indeed floral in nature. Having spent a little time with it, I've discovered thin slices, rubbed out thoroughly, seem to provide a more consistent burn as opposed to cube cuts. This tobacco might not be for everyone, so I'll say if you like Lakeland blends, you should give this a try. If not, you may not want to take a chance on purchasing such a large quantity. I sure am glad I did....Read More
