Samuel Gawith Pipe Tobacco

Medium strength flake for lovers of pure pressed Virginias. Mature Virginias are selected and hot pressed to bring out a darker, more fuller flavour. The "cakes" are taken from the press and left to age, before being sliced and sold. The tobacco is smooth and very cool to smoke, with deep and rich flavour. While not a nicotine powerhouse, it carries enough to satisfy the serious Virginia smoker.

For the pipe smoker who appreciates the fuller flavour of an Oriental blend. Blending a variety of different styles of flue cured Virginia tobaccos gives Skiff its characteristic yellow and brown features. Its real identity comes with the addition of Turkish and a beautiful black Cyprus Latakia, giving the blend its full, round taste. A classic ?English Blend?, akin to the much missed Balkan Sobranie.

A perfect blend of Orientals, Latakia and Virginias, both dark and golden. The smoke is silky smooth, with a complex and balanced array of flavours, with every tobacco represented.

An unusual English blend from Samuel Gawith in the Lake District, originally blended for a local smoker. A base of Brown and Bright Virginias mixed with Latakia is steamed to remove any risk of tongue bite, then given a light Vanilla casing, and finally blended with Turkish Izmir. From the tin, the blend has the unmistakable aroma of Oriental tobaccos, with a slight Vanilla twinge in the background. When smoked, the spicy and creamy Izmir makes up the core of the taste, while the Virginia and Latakia take a back seat. The Vanilla is very subtle and just adds a little extra sweetness to the smoke. The Virginias remain cool and smooth while still keeping the grassy character.

While not the strongest, it is not really needed as the richness of the Latakia is winning aspect.
