Pipe Tobacco Sampler: 10g of each tobacco
(Please Note each tobacco comes in a 10g loose pouch)
This sampler contains four of our bestsellers from Samuel Gawith.
Tobaccos:
Full Virginia Flake 10g
Samuel Gawith produce a number of blends which have achieved almost cult status; Squadron Leader, St James Flake and Full Virginia Flake. Mature Virginia's 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. This is a fine example of why Samuel Gawith have been going so long and are still independent to this day.

St James Flake 10g
St James Flake has the reputation for being one of the best VaPer blends on the market. This moist flake containing Virginia and Perique, has sweet Virginia flavour of hays with a pepper overtone from the Perique. The tobacco is pressed with a little added sugar, this can often crystallise on the surface. Smokes well from the tin, but if left to get a little air, it will be cooler and little less tangy. Like all Samuel Gawith flakes, this is cut thick and burns slowly. We find the best way to pack this tobacco, is to loosely break up the flake and dont pack to tight. Then with another small amount, rub out very fine to use a primer on the top. Once you have the tobacco lit, gently tamp down, then as it gets a little warmer, tamp a little more. Once you have a layer of ash on the surface, smokes very cool & smooth. 50g tin.

Squadron Leader 10g
Latakia is what makes an "English" and Squadron Leader is more than just an English. A tobacco which has been blended to perfection, we love this stuff and so do many others. A stunning blend of Orientals, Latakia and Virginia's, both dark and golden. The smoke is silky smooth, with a complex and balanced array of flavours, with every tobacco represented. The creamy, almost sour cream notes of the Turkish, with earthy, woody notes from the darker Virginia's. The more golden Virginia bring a subtle hay note and melds to create a sweet and smoky flavour. Not overly strong in the nicotine department, but the flavours still make for a very satisfying smoke.

Cabbie's Mixture 10g
Cabbies Mixture is a Virginia and Perique twist, which is hand rolled and hand sliced. As you would expect from Samuel Gawith the tobacco is of the highest quality and this can be seen, smelt and felt in the tin. Of course it’s the smoking which counts and Cabbies certainly ticks all of our boxes. A sweet and natural Virginia taste takes centre seat when lit, with the pepper and spice of the Perqiue working its way in. An easy smoke, which packs enough Nicotine for most smokers, while not being over powering.
