just bad

Product: Samuel Gawith Chocolate Flake 50g
smoked it 20 years ago, it was wonderful. The new version is like a completely different product.

no actual flavor, just a light smell of cocoa in the tin. The actual tobacco had no actual smell or flavor of anything. no longer buy gawith products as the company enjoys trashing customers on
tobacco forums and brags about reducing the quality and quantity of the flavoring....Read More
Light on the chocolate

Product: Samuel Gawith Chocolate Flake 50g
Very interesting blend. I was expecting something different to what it actually is. What it is, is a beautiful blend of dark flavor and body. Earthy, woody, very lightly smoky. In fact the smokiness is about as perceptible as the chocolate, which is hardly at all. These flavors are more supportive notes than explicit tastes. A suggestion of dark cocoa and smoke. Despite this, I found it utterly charming. Albeit, almost impossible to get lit without burning the piss out of my tongue. However, I’ve changed my tactics a bit. I now will fill a bowl in the afternoon for an evening smoke, and the drying time works like magic, as these flakes come extremely moist. Not unlike one of my other favorites, university flake. This actually has some similarities with my beloved university, and bites me just as bad. It’s just so hard to smoke them slow when they taste so good. Goes great with a beer too. I can’t emphasize enough how difficult it is to take to the flame. That’s really my only complaint. I’m giving it 5 stars anyway, simply on the merit of its wonderful rich flavor. Truly top notch stuff here, just don’t expect it to be chocolate flavored tobacco, which it most certainly is not. Again just the faintest hint of dark cocoa with a wisp of smoky over one of the richest, creamiest, and downright chewy smokes I’ve had in recent memory...Read More
Not Much To This At All

Product: Samuel Gawith Chocolate Flake 50g
No Chocolate No Latakia Nothing Really , Boring and Flavor-Less Edit : I tried one last time in a large, deep, narrow pipe and it was much better. Pretty good in fact.You have to find the rite pipe for this to work.
Disappointing

Rename it Smokey and dry - There is no chocolate to be found in either sweet nor bitter. The Latakia was MIA too. Basically, a Burley forward, dry and slightly spicy smoke. Not an aromatic in my opinion. And doesn’t stay lite either, this was a total flop.
awesome!

Tin note of smoky, mild chocolate and tart fruit. Tobacco Flakes are a marbled dark brown, black and flecks of tan. Tobacco is moderately moist and may benefit from some drying. Burns slow with a few extra relights once lit. The strength is medium and nic is mild to medium. Flavoring is mild, with notes of dark chocolate. Taste is medium and mostly consistent, with notes of mildly smokey, musty dry earthy, moderately spicy, lemon grass, floral, very woody, mildly sweet toasted nut background note, and a spicy retro. Virginia is leading with Latakia, Flavoring, and burley supporting. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More
