Samuel Gawith Sam's Flake

From Samuel Gawith's website. The 2nd in our Mayors Collection. Sam's Flake is a combination of Flue-cured Virginias and Turkish leaf which after blending is pressed in the hot oven, cut and then treated to a light flavouring which adds another flavour dimension to the tobacco. Good smoke and room-aroma with a medium strength.
The topping is Tonquin Bean same as 1792.

Smoked in a Peterson's no15 Sterling Silver hallmarked 1984.

As with all Samuel Gawith tobacco this is high quality.

Soft flakes that great smell.

Easy to rub out needs a little drying time.

The taste for me is like 1792's baby brother .

Lights easyish and burns well to a very light grey ash.

Produces a good amount of smoke. 

Sweet Virginia with a slight vanilla taste from the Tonquin.

The nicotine level is medium but the flavour is fairly full.

The sample came from Samuel Gawith via Tobacco Blends in Frankston, VIC.
