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.
"Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake is for lovers of pure pressed Virginias. Created in the heart of Lakeland, the hot-pressed blended Virginias take on a delicious and distinctive dark colour that creates a pipe smokers dream, a feeling of calm, serenity and anticipation of the next pipeful. A "must have" for all Virginia lovers. Medium strength." Samuel Gawith Website
