Not Much To This At All
December 20, 2024

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
February 19, 2023
By: Robert P.
Product: Samuel Gawith Chocolate Flake 50g
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!
December 15, 2022

Product: Samuel Gawith Chocolate Flake 50g
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

A real flake
December 09, 2022
By: Justin L.
Product: Samuel Gawith Chocolate Flake 50g
This is a high quality, perfectly balanced, subtly charming, Virginia forward with the most delicately added Latakia which gives the chocolate a smoky baseline and delicious dark chocolate flavour which in our opinion isn't false to the overall composition but gives a sweet charisma to this already charming composition. Much recommended. We are not big on toppings but this is done so well and with class that we are sold on Samuel Gawith and can't wait to try their other fine products....Read More

I wish it was more readily available
August 18, 2022

Product: Samuel Gawith Chocolate Flake 50g
This is one of those tobaccos that I regret smoking, not because it bad, on the contrary but because it is so delicious yet so rare to find that it is frustrating. It is by far one of the best tobaccos I have tried. Excellent tin note, well pressed flakes, rubs easily and packs nicely. It takes some work to get it to light well but once it does, no need to maintain it a lot. Its flavour profile is quite nice. Feels like having a cup of coffee with dark chocolate. The virginia play the dark, earthy coffee like notes and the hint of chocolate tops it up. Overall, if you can find it, get it. it is worth it...Read More

Not Bad
August 22, 2022
By: Tom C.
Product: Samuel Gawith Chocolate Flake 50g
It's dark and different so I ordered a pound of it, the freshly opened tin tasted good but after a couple of months later the same tin tasted different still moist & good though. I've been mixing it with other stuff for more complexity.

Almost, but not quite
February 18, 2021
By: M. Scott
Product: Samuel Gawith Chocolate Flake 50g
This is almost the same as GH Bob's chocolate flake as far as the tin note, but this is much milder and the room note carries more of the chocolate cocoa. Tin came quite moist, had to let a bowl full dry for an hour or so. Burns a little hot and can get harsh towards the end but on the plus side, no tongue bite. Could be a backup when Bob's is out of stock....Read More

Pleasantly Relaxing
February 16, 2021
By: Rudolph A.
Product: Samuel Gawith Chocolate Flake 50g
I'm smoking this now, right out of the tin, in my newly received Peterson no 69 St Patrick's Day pipe 2021, both purchased from Smokingpipes. I first tried this many years ago and was off-put by the Lakeland essence that I was certainly not used to. Different story today. This is a solid VaBur with a hint of both Latakia and cocoa; neither overwhelmingly applied which is just right for me. Anxious to revisit, it was slightly nippy as I did not wait for this to dry, but not in any negative way. There is an ongoing sweetness with this smoke and mingled with the slight presence of Latakia, this is pleasantly relaxing, hence my title for this review. I don't taste the cocoa very much, but it is certainly present in the side stream and overall roomnote. Since the merger of both Gawith houses, I note better quality control overall with the SG flakes now that the production is being handled with Gawith Hogarth standards applied. No disappointment with that!...Read More

Strong English with hint of cocoa
August 24, 2019
By: Seong Keon H.
Product: Samuel Gawith Chocolate Flake 50g
If you are looking for a Chocolate-y chocolate cloud, this won't satisfy you at all. but what if, you are tired of typical English type and need a bit of twist, this will serve you well. Strong English blend with hint of cocoa. Needs some effort to keep lit on and avoid a tongue bite.
