Best Balkan I've Had.
July 09, 2018
Product: Samuel Gawith Skiff Mixture 50g
I thought that H&H Whiteknight was the greatest, Balkan I had experienced. Perfect moisture. Perfect sourness from the orientals to balance out the latakia. Then I bought this on a whim when it came back in stock. Beautiful. Just beautiful. Mello... Read More

Quality, but not a winner.
September 25, 2015
Product: Samuel Gawith Skiff Mixture 50g
Samuel Gawith produces some of my favourite blends. This is of obvious quality, and I may change my review yet since I've only had a few bowls. I read reviews that this was a mild tobacco, but for regular pipe smokers, this will be "ultralight.&... Read More

It's not my cup of tea. I get a big sour note from this one. I'm going to cellar the tins I have and see if that helps it out. It is a blend using Quality Tobacco it's just not for me.
Amazing Oriental/English
May 01, 2018
Product: Samuel Gawith Skiff Mixture 250g
People say this is identical to Squadron leader and between the 2, the devil is in the details. This is primarily an oriental blend while Squadron Leader is a proper English. The Orientals are slightly spicy and take front stage with support from t... Read More
he latakia and nice va sweetness. Easily the best tobacco in my rotation and a great price for the 250g box. I divided mine up into 5 half pint mason jars as 50g each. Read Less
In Contention For The Belt

Product: Samuel Gawith Skiff Mixture 50g
One of my favourite English blends. If you want those notes of crude oil, sunshine, and leather, this could be your English. It is like the Hemingway of pipe tobacco.
The Best Around!
February 26, 2018
Product: Samuel Gawith Skiff Mixture 250g
This is hands down one of my favorite English/Balkan blends that's currently on the market. The excellent Gawith VA's are the backbone of this blend and it's just the perfect amount of natural sweetness. The nicotine is just below the medium threshol... Read More
d which makes it a perfect candidate for an all day smoke. Of course this stuff shines in the winter months and I enjoy it the morning with a cup o joe. I only buy this stuff by the box but even then I prefer to spread out the contents on a large paper plate and let it dry for about 2 hours before jarring it up. For fans of Latakia blends, your rotation is not complete without this wonderful mixture. For English blends, I still give the nod to those that are actually blended in England but there certainly are good English mixtures being produced in the States these days. I think this blend is extremely underrated, I think it is every bit as good, if not better than the fabled Balkan Sobranie Mixture of the old days. Unfortunately, I don't think this stuff will gain the status that it deserves until it becomes unobtainable. It is hands down one of the finest English/Balkan mixtures ever produced and it's currently available! It seems people are looking right past this one in search for the zombie trademark resurrected Balkan Sobranie or Esoterica's Penzance. Let me tell ya, it doesn't get any better than this my friends.

Simple, cumplidor

Product: Samuel Gawith Skiff Mixture 50g
Al abrir tiene un olor a hule tratado o neftalina. El tabaco vino muy humedo por lo que disminuyo su sabor a fumarlo. En general es de poco sabor y poco complicado aunque tiene mas nicotina de lo que uno hubiera imaginado. Les recomiendo que lo dejen... Read More

Not as good as the tin
September 18, 2016
Product: Samuel Gawith Skiff Mixture 250g
I enjoy the tinned version of Skiff and thought I'd same some money by trying the bulk box. Big mistake. Inside the box the tobaaco is just contained in a plastic zip bag, came very dry, smoked badly, and simply wasn't the same as the tin.
Very smooth

Product: Samuel Gawith Skiff Mixture 50g
Tin note of tart red wine and a sweet smoky campfire. The tobacco is ribbon cut and a mix of light and medium brown and a little black. Tobacco is slightly damp so no prep/drying needed. Burn is medium with a normal amount of relights. The strength i... Read More
s medium and nic is mild. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and mostly consistent, with notes herbal smoky, wood, mildly sweet, earth, little sour, grassy floral, with a peppery spice on the retro. Oriental/Turkish is leading with Latakia and Virginias supporting. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is very pleasant. Read Less
Favorite English
April 20, 2022
Product: Samuel Gawith Skiff Mixture 50g
I haven't had them all, but this may be my favorite English blend. Good smoke in the tin and the pipe, mellow but spicy enough to just be flat out great. All day for sure, great good weather smoke.
Mild and delicious

I’m not a huge Balkan style guy, but this stuff hits the spot it’s got the PERFECT amount of Latakia, this is something I enjoy while working or active and need a nice companion puff. It’s a very long ribbon cut that burns flawlessly and I’m happy I ... Read More

Pretty straight forward English tobacco, overall good but I got a little tongue bite from it.

Suave y placentero

Product: Samuel Gawith Skiff Mixture 50g
Es un tabaco suave, facil de fumar, pero no creas que por eso esta mal, al contrario se disfruta cada hoja por separado placenteramente
Product: Samuel Gawith Skiff Mixture 250g
Great smoke, and a decent medium build that smokes all the way through, with decent finish. No ashy taste at the end.
Well Balanced Blend
August 15, 2016
Product: Samuel Gawith Skiff Mixture 50g
The components of this blend work very well together. The Latakia is subtle. It also has a sourness to it that is very satisfying. It reminds me of Presbyterian Mixture. Easy tobacco to love.
No me quejo...

Este blend sabroso, pero definitivamente, le falta algo, no sabría decir que es, pero no creo que vuelva a comprar este tabaco...
My Holy Grail?
June 08, 2013
Product: Samuel Gawith Skiff Mixture 50g
This is a very sweet Oriental blend. The Latakia stays where it should, in the background. It gets better with age, great after five years. It is my "desert island" blend. If a tsunami were coming, this is what I would save before anythi... Read More
