Samuel Gawith: Golden Glow 250g Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-059-0041

A bit lighter in strength than Full Virginia Flake, but the flavor more than makes up the difference. It's lightly sweet taste comes from the natural sugars found in Virginia leaf. This flake is also well suited for blending with other, stronger tobaccos to round out the flavor and add complexity.

This has to be one of SG's most underrated tobaccos. You've got to take your time with this one and smoke it slow and easy in order to pick up on the nuanced flavors. Yummy!

Nice straight Virginia

I've seen some Virginia blends described as 'grassy' before, but never got that flavor until this one. Definitely a bright taste, a little sweet, a little sour. I find it a nice change from the other Virginias and VaPers I usually smoke. The cut is part broken flake, but most of it is more like a thick ribbon cut. Packs easily, no bite if you smoke at a reasonable pace.. Got the 250g size and jarred up a quart - I suspect it will age very well, meanwhile am enjoying the generous portion left over. This could definitely be an all day smoke for Va lovers if you like the 'grassy' varieties. Just wish it was in stock more....Read More

A Very Bright Smoke

Very bright and citrusy blend that requires few relights. It's even bright and cheerful to look at in the tin, like the infamous Golden Block. But this stuff burns so much better! And when paired with a cold pint of Belgian, I don't see how life can get any better.

Sweet, clear and fragrant.Though it is packed leaving a flake or broken flake, when taking out it becomes a wet ribbon cut.

Sweet, straight Virginia.
December 26, 2016

Product: Samuel Gawith Golden Glow 50g
Nose in tin is ample bread, yeast, sweetness and a hint of gingerbread. As always with Samuel Gawith, the tobacco in tin is soaking wet and needs a considerable drying time. The cut is a loose, fluffy Broken Flake, not necessary to rub out. GOLDEN GLOW is a straight Virginia, a blend of medium-bright brown (golden?) Virginias. After lighting this tobacco it seems light, mellow, soft and creamy. The further you smoke, the stronger this blend becomes and a spicy flavour shows up, never causing a Virginia-bite, though. I can pick up aromas of straw, hay, earth, some traces of honey and toffee. No complexity. And there is some (unnecessary) casing that I cannot specify; might be something fruity among others. There is also a generous sweetness around. I guess it’s not only natural Virginia sweetness, there is some artificial sweet topping. Nicotine level is medium....Read More

The best all day Virginia
September 21, 2016

Product: Samuel Gawith Golden Glow 50g
First off, yes this baccy is wet. Give it some dry time (and some age) and it's phenomenal. Tin note is like Welchs white grape juice when fresh. I aged it in a mason jar for a few months and the flavor and aroma grew more complex. It's like a fresh steak vs dry aged. Time gave this baccy depth and complexity. The room note is amazing too....Read More

Short and to the point: This blend in a cob pipe on a hot summer's day is the best thing ever.
