Samuel Gawith Skiff Mixture Pipe Tobacco 50g (Tin)

Date Added: Saturday 20 March, 2021 by Jason

I’ll be honest, I was kinda looking for a pipe tobacco that had that “French” cigarette taste to it and I thought this might be it. It’s not, but that’s not to say I was disappointed. There’s a rich warmth to the Latakia and it’s given a spicy edge by the Izmir, however it’s blended so that all the tobaccos have their say without shouting over each other. Personally I prefer this in a small bowl not because it’s too strong but because it’s all you need to get everything out of this (my opinion only) also I’m a bit of a puffer and that can make the last of a big bowl a little bitter for me personally. I’m gonna try this half and half with SG Perfection, I think it’ll be very interesting.
