Samuel Gawith: Commonwealth Mixture 50g Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-059-0003

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.

One of Samuel Gawith's oldest blends, Commonwealth is an English blend composed entirely of Virginias and Latakia, foregoing the use of Orientals in many other English mixtures. It makes for a bold, full-bodied smoking experience with just the right amount of spice and sweetness.

Product: Samuel Gawith Commonwealth 250g
This tobacco has been at the top of my list since I first smoked it almost 20 years ago. I'd only been a pipe smoker for a few years, and had suffered through a variety of perfumed and sweetened tobaccos of questionable quality. When I started smokin... Read More

我没有能在sp上买到这款草,但是我通过别的渠道买到过好几次了。共和国有着饱满的拉塔基的烟气,浓郁的口感。对口腔和鼻腔有着极为强劲的冲击力。对于早已习惯拉塔基烧胶皮味道的人来说,这种感觉是美妙的。
Wonderful!

I love a lot of heavy Latakia Blends such as , gaslight,pirate kake, da Vinci ,And Nightcap to name a few. This is heavy in Latakia but it's different and not a smack in the face like you might expect. It's smooth,sweet and Creamy Smoke. I can't get... Read More

First time smoke of this brand, and it was great. Room smelled great all day. Bought it two years ago and just opened it. Wonderful smoke.

Product: Samuel Gawith Commonwealth 250g
I love this tasty, smoky blend. It's very similar in flavor and appearance to Drew Estate Meat Pie, but Commonwealth is slightly less spicy. It's not complex; it's simply deliciously satisfying and a top favorite of mine. I'll say it's now #2 in my ... Read More

This blend is not intricate, and you won't find yourself sitting there looking for all the little nuances. That's alright, it's not meant to be. Not every smoke needs to be suprising and nuanced, and when you just want to sit and have a simple, delic... Read More

Full Strength Mixture?

Product: Samuel Gawith Commonwealth Mixture 50g
Mmm, no; but it is an excellent 'middling' strength mixture, compared to, say, C&D's Pirate Kake. Still, it's a very satisfying blend. My only complaint, which applies to all SG tins, is they don't re-seal well. Love the aesthetic of the tins, t... Read More

I wanted to give this blend five stars but system would not allow. If you like a great Latakia blend you should try this.

How I can to say it, is a wonderful and very nice blend. Full to full flavor very rich. Smells deliciously bitter in cold and at burn it completely fills the mouth with that exquisite smoke and very full. If you love the Latakia is this you tobacco. ... Read More
Latakia bomb!
May 24, 2016
Product: Samuel Gawith Commonwealth Mixture 50g
This is a latakia bomb. It is almost like smoking a cedar tree. It comes wet, so let it dry a little. This is an excellent tobacco to smoke on a rainy or cold fall day. It is very peppery and smoky.
Fantastic smoke for latakia enthusiasts

Product: Samuel Gawith Commonwealth Mixture 50g
I just had my first bowl of this, but when you're craving latakia I can't think of a blend that is more rewarding than this one. Definitely a keeper. Strong and full-flavored but not so intense that it overwhelms you. Like most blends from SG,some ... Read More

Tin note of mildly sour, tart, and smoky. This brown, tan, black, mostly ribbon cut tobacco is relatively dry and needs no prep. Burns moderately with few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium to ful... Read More

Read a bunch of reviews here and there about English’s being “ creamy” well ,this one delivers. A powerful blend of sweet Virginias and blacker than the abyss Latakia. There is always a tad of Lakeland and it’s quiet though in the mid ground on this... Read More

What an amazing blend. For one boasting a 50% concentration of Latakia, I was expecting something totally different. Besides from how well the Va and Lat intermingle, there’s a savory rich and salt like essence that is like they aged the tobacco by t... Read More

Extra things are not mixed. I do not have a strange scent like making you uncomfortable. Simply delicious. It is a sign of perfection.

I love the SG and G&H blends - I have utmost respect for their legendary blending history and skill. However, this one - to me- was just not that satisfying and, what's more, I never found it's essence. I never pinpointed what exactly it was tr... Read More

The tin note smells like old maple burning in a wood stove; woodsy, smokey with a bit of bite behind it. Smoking it delivers much the same experience with a bit of warmth coming through. It was my first English tobacco and it took some adjustment on ... Read More

Product: Samuel Gawith Commonwealth Mixture 50g
While it's very wet out of the tin, once allowed to dry a bit, it's as good an English as there is. My prefered drying method is to open a tin, allow it to dry completely and mix with a fresh tin and jar it.
