Samuel Gawith Balkan Flake Pipe Tobacco (Loose)

Date Added: Thursday 19 September, 2019 by Iain

I cant believe its taken me this long to try this tobacco (pipe smoker for well over 30 years). I always assumed this would be too strong for my tastes, but this may actually be the smoothest, best balanced tobacco (Latakia blend or otherwise) I have ever tried. When makers describe their products as slow burning and cool smoking, this is exactly how I always expected them to be, but they so rarely were. Medium strength, with enough Latakia to keep things interesting, but not so much that you couldnt use this as an all-day smoke. Easy to rub out, and not too much moisture. Added to my favourites, and will probably be my go-to tobacco from now on. Cant rate this highly enough. Try it yourself, you might just agree.
