Fvf plus rum and lat

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

Sweet - Something A Little Different
September 08, 2019
Product: Samuel Gawith Navy Flake 50g
Sweet smoke with nice virginia forward flavor. The rum is an nice element that took me a couple of bowls to appreciate. If you don't like it at first, give it another try. It's very smooth, produces a lot of smoke and doesn't cause bite of any kind... Read More
. It's not going to be in my regular rotation but it's a nice tobacco when I want something a little different. Read Less

Great VA/Lat flake. Best rubbed out, slow burning and cool. Rum adds a slight sweet note.
Disappointed

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

Sweet, smooth smoke

Product: Samuel Gawith Navy Flake 50g
This is a great tobacco. Virginias are always on the front while latakia gives a round and smoky flavor to it. It needs to dry properly, otherwise, you`ll get frustrated!!!
Once aired, the smoke is very pleasant and smooth. Sweet virginias and a sub... Read More

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
