Fvf plus rum and lat
November 09, 2017
Product: Samuel Gawith Navy Flake 50g
Sam gawiths navy flake is not what I expected, but that isn't a bad thing here. I assumed there would be a stronger Latakia presence but instead there is just enough to lend some flavor and complexity. The first half of the bowl brought more up fro... Read More
nt Latakia aroma and light on the Virginia, with the rums sweetness coming through quite nicely. The room note is quite pleasant here, evoking memories of pipe smoke in my childhood. As the bowl develops into the second half the sweet and salty bread gawith virginias really take over for me, with the Latakia and rum taking a step back but still present in a more subtle way. The dynamic here lasts throughout the remainder of the bowl, and I found myself greedily puffing for more, when in the first half I was about to put it down for some dgt. To me SG navy flake is a sleeper blend, and continually grows on me. I love FVF and it not only scratches the same itch but adds a little complexity. With that being said I don't think it truly earns the 4th dot for flavor, though I can imagine with a year or two of age on it navy flakes flavor will indeed deepen and become sweeter. Like most gawith virginias this one has a tendency to bite me if I get carried away even remotely, and therefore it remains an occasional treat. It's worth trying for sure. Read Less

不知道为啥才3。8分，对我来说这草很完美，4.5分以上。抽的老草，开罐第一斗味道一般，放了一个礼拜那味道觉了！天天3斗，一小盒很快就消灭了！香气顺滑，甜甜的奶油香让人欲罢不能，非常柔和的力道。

换新包装后铁盒密封太差，收到货后很多都已经是打开的状态。
前三分之二斗的体验感非常不错

劲道3.0 饱满度3.5 室韵3.
以朗姆酒作为调味的斗草。这款草的调性和马坝家的拉塔基亚切片有点像，都是以V草作为主线。点燃以后坚果味奶味加淡淡的V草甜味，舌尖和鼻腔感受到了酒韵以及类似于喝酒的刺激感，拉草味道很弱；中段以后劲道加强甜度有所上升，主线味道变成了烤面包的感觉，酒韵仍在；最后小半斗，酒韵突然消失，L草味道成为主角，但皮革味仍然很淡，V草甜度减弱，没有特别明显的主线味道。总结这款草很适合作为和淡酒品一起搭配享用，劲道适中，前大半斗的酒韵调配很显功力。斗温偏高似乎是最大的缺点。

A Navy on another level

Product: Samuel Gawith Navy Flake 50g
Definitely breaks up the classic navy with latakia smokiness. The rum has a molasses flavor to me that gives a sweet kiss in between the spice that keeps dancing in you mouth the more you smoke it. Creates awesome smoke that is mesmerizing. This c... Read More

不时能抽出奶香，这种奶香更像是内蒙的奶茶香，因为会略微的感到一点咸，烟气很柔和，不顶吼也不咬舌，劲道整体适中吧，并不算大。

Sweet smoke

Product: Samuel Gawith Navy Flake 50g
This is one of my favorite flakes, and the coolest, sweetest of them all. I really like the fact that it is a navy flake with some latakia, which only adds to the sweetness without making it any heavy or tasting like a English blend. I love English b... Read More

Top 10 purchased tobacco but under 4 rating? Lesson here, it sells because it’s good. Not really complex nor is the Lat upfront. The blend is pretty straight forward, Latakia and Virginia with a splash of rum but it tastes rich, full and is completel... Read More

Product: Samuel Gawith Navy Flake 50g
This is the first Navy flake that I have tried with Latakia. If you have ever smoked Full Virginia Flake, you can pick up the same Virginia flavor in this blend, the Latakia doesn't overpower the VA (IMO). A well balanced blend, it became an instant ... Read More

Rich in flavor! This navy flake is unique in that it adds Latakia. At first was skeptical but after trying it with just over 2 years of age, the Latakia isn’t over powering and adds a nice contrast to the otherwise sweetness and rum flavors associate... Read More

Sam Gawith VA with Rum
April 28, 2021
Product: Samuel Gawith Navy Flake 50g
The earthy, fermented and bready sweetness of the Virginia is complimented by the slightest amount of Latakia, which lends complexity to the richness of a fermented Virginia. The rum is assertive and boozy at first - not aromatic, and supports the ... Read More
other two components very well. VA can smoke a little spicy at times, and this one does nip a little at the tip of my tongue, but certainly doesn't bite. Also, VA typically has a thin smoke, so don't puff and puff hoping for thick, mouth-filling smoke like burley. You'll ruin the nuance and get nipped. With lots of choices, why is this one worth trying? Gawith VA flake of course. There's no other manufacturer than does VA flake like Sam Gawith. It's in its own class, and the addition of Latakia in such small amounts melds so darn well with that sweet, deeply fermented depth of flavor of a Sam Gawith VA. Full flavor, thin body, nicotine is 2.5 out of 5. Read Less

In a word, splendid. A real nirvana smoke every time. So smooth and satisfying with all the flavours complimenting each other throughout the duration of the bowl. The flakes need a little drying time before packing, but it behaves well and if you con... Read More

First Impressions: flavor is marked at 4/5 but I find it exstreemly light in body. Grassy, lemony virgin with a very light application of Latakia. The Latakia adds a consistent saltiness and occasional wee bit of floral essens but is in small enough ... Read More

Great VA/Lat flake. Best rubbed out, slow burning and cool. Rum adds a slight sweet note.
Disappointed
February 20, 2017
Product: Samuel Gawith Navy Flake 50g
I'm not a latakia fan so I thought based on the rum flavoring I may enjoy this. After going through the 1st of 2 tins I ordered I'm suprised to say that while I found the latakia tolerable, it was the only flavor I got from this. It was barely there ... Read More
and that was the only flavor. I didn't get any rum even on the retrohale. Its not bad but it was so one dimensional and light it's not what I enjoy smoking. It was, like all SG tobacco, moist from the tin and required drying. The flakes rubbed out great and packed well. Just not for me. I'll try the 2nd tin just incase I got a bad tin and update this if required...
Addendum... not change with the 2nd tin... same thing. I can see why one would like this... it's a quality tobacco... just not my thing. Read Less

My First Samuel Gawith Tobacco
March 13, 2014
Product: Samuel Gawith Navy Flake 50g
One of my favourite flakes when smoked in a pipe that has a hefty latakia flavour embedded in the briar. However, in a fresh pipe, I find it to be a tad acrid as many virginia blends seem to me. More latakia would be nice, but still a lovely smoking ... Read More
