Samuel Gawith: Grousemoor 50g Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-059-0005

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.

Named for the field sport of grouse hunting popular in the United Kingdom, Grousemoor from Samuel Gawith is an iconic Lakeland blend topped with a number of seasonal scents that so often characterize blends from England's Lake District. A pure Virginia mixture, Grousemoor features flue-cured leaf that's first steamed before being cut. It's then stoved and topped with a mélange of essences.

Has to be dried out
May 31, 2025
Product: Samuel Gawith Grousemoor 50g
This cannot be smoked fresh out of the tin. It's so wet that trying to light it leads to instant bite. I jar this for 6 months, then let it dry before packing. Tin note smells like tea. Best when sipped. Ribbons are very long so some may want to chop them up. Flavor is kind of like lemon grass....Read More
Oh my... Sweet and Floral

Version distributed by Kretek, dated 01280 (2018?)... A 7 year old tin? I just purchased another tin presumably from 2024. The tin note had me smelling floral anise, but the flavor of the bright Virginia is sharp, sweet and citrusy. The topping seems to be orange blossom essence and not a hint of the geranium oil as in most Lakelands I've encountered. Contrary to the name of the topping, this doesn't contribute a citrus 'orange flavor', but rather a jasmine/orange floral note, which is really quite remarkable. Tease it at low temperature and you'll be amazed when that orange blossom reveals itself. First light is gonna be floral, sweet and the VA is going to nip you. Don't drink soda with it during the first half as it'll make your eyes water. Stay with it because that sharpness goes away after the first 1/4. There will be sparks in a 'taste of smell' throughout the first half, and each moment will be gone in a flash. I know it's orange blossom because my wife had an orange/jasmine blossom tree years ago and when it bloomed fully, the home was saturated in the sweet perfuming floral aroma. Approximately midway it turns to a richly sweet orange pastry note and the sharpness subsides. I'm not a fan of the geranium oil (grandma perfume) used on many of SG's flakes, but I really like the flavor and uniqueness of this. The end is really sweet as the sugars are concentrating, and the mouthfeel has mellowed to a creaminess. It has a dry finish. For what it is, an aromatic of English influence, this is sublime. American aromatics pretty much center on food or spices, but to have a floral aromatic which is really agreeable is quite something. Nicotine is 2 out of 5. I'm an upland hunter and having this while out with my dog on a sunny and warm autumn afternoon, pheasant hunting, would be heaven on earth. Thank you Chris!...Read More

Grousemoor is my favorite out of all of the tobacco’s that I have tried! There’s a pleasant floral taste with a bit of a refreshing citrus note that presents itself more and more as you smoke it. Overall, it is very delicious and I highly recommend! Great for summer!

I was looking for a summer time blend and was pointed in the direction of this particular tobacco. I was warned that it would ghost my pipes something fierce. So I've mainly smoked it out of the clay pipe. It's delicious. It's unlike any other topping. It's refreshing and definitely beats the heat. It's almost like a diet 7Up with a lemongrass hint. I like it I like the Lakeland hint of essence as well. This is good enough to have a pipe dedicated to it....Read More
Light, lemony, utterly delicious

Ignore all the complainers going on about "granny panties," (excellent advice which applies to all GH blends) this is a shag cut composed of the finest bright and gold Virginia tobaccos with just the tiniest bit of a lemon-cream topping. It's really more in the tin note, and very hard to detect in the actual smoking. Nevertheless it is a wonderfully light (but not wimpy) and delicious smoke. Get you some!...Read More
I was a doubter now I’m a fan

Picked up a tin of this with the assumption it would be terrible to be completely honest but I Camelot but wanting to try every blend in existence. And to my complete surprise I love this stuff! If you smoke it slow I get a lemon minty flavor that I can’t explain but it’s fantastic!!

Talk about tongue bite. I don't know what they use for a casing but it scortches my mouth. You really have to smoke slowly which means tons of relights because of how goopy it is. How this is in the top 100 is beyond me. Literally the worst aromatic I've tried. Anyone that says this is great pipe tobacco, I'd like to know what they consider as being bad....Read More
nice change of pace

Product: Samuel Gawith Grousemoor 50g
Tin note reminded me of canned fruit in syrup, like canned peaches or fruit cocktail... smells sweet. The tobacco looks like orange-brown ribbon cut needing no preparation and no drying. It took a few lights to get it started and burned slow and fairly consistent. The strength is med, nic is mild. Flavor is med and a bit complex. The taste is a grassy, orange, mildly sweet with mild Lakeland. Room note is pleasant and pleasant aftertaste....Read More

Can't make up my mind if I like this or not. No denying it has a unique smell and taste, sometimes reminds me of menthol cigarettes. Worth a try, I can see how someone could love or hate this aromatic.
