About This Pipe Tobacco

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.

Samuel Gawith's Perfection pipe tobacco originated after a local pipe smoker couldn't procure his usual blend and asked Gawith to create on for him. His response: Perfection. Combining Virginias, Orientals, and Latakia, Perfection is a classic English mixture elevated by a touch of vanilla to enhance the Virginias' natural sweetness alongside the Latakia's smoky notes.

Light English, very nice

Product: Samuel Gawith Perfection Mixture 50g
Like most Gawith blends, this is very nice but moist. Perfection is the lightest English blend I have tried up to this point. All of the leaves are very balanced and that touch of vanilla is a nice touch, not loud or obtrusive in any way. Definitely worth picking up a couple of tins, one for now and one for a year or two later. Give it a try!...Read More

First, the tin art is subtle and inviting. Upon opening the tin, the nose is greeted with a solid smokey aroma that gives way to sweet hints of leather. The ribbon cut packs well (though I prefer working with flake or rubbed flake). This particular tin is rather moist and considerable drying time is needed. If not dried prior to smoking numerous re-lights necessary for the first 1/3 bowl. Flavor is a solid English with an elusive hint of vanilla. Will keep in rotation - but in the later 1/2 of my rotation....Read More

Tin notes of aromatic English; sour, sweet and smoky. The ribbon cut looks is light brown, dark brown and black. Fairly dry, no prep needed. Burns slow with few relights. The strength mild, nic is mild. Sweet flavoring detected with tin note and taste, though light. Taste is med and consistent, with notes of smoky wood, earth, floral, slight sweet lemon, mildly spicy and a few sour notes. Room note is tolerable and after taste is ok....Read More
