Tobacco review Samuel Gawith - RB Plug

8oz [226.80g]  of  Samuel Gawith - RB Plug.
Dark fired Tanzania leaf
 This tobacco has been aged for 10 years.
With out a doubt it is the epiphany of  lakeland tobacco.
Floral and intense.
I was smoking a bowl on my veranda this afternoon when my wife Andrea came home
and asked if i had a cheap hooker visit today.
My son Lachlan said it smelt like burning musk sticks.
Some extreme comments on the room note i must say.
And yes it is full on but smoking it is like no other tobacco as it is so unique.
The plugs are hard but easy to slice with my flake cutter.
Lots of work to break up the moisture level is good and ready to smoke.
Loaded my London made Barling.
A little hard to get going but burns well to a white ash.
There is a ton of flavor there and the floral taste is predominant at first but gives
way to a sweet  aged Virginia .
Nicotine level is 3 out of 5 so it has less kick than cop plug [1792].
I don't think i will be buying or needing more as its a sometimes tobacco.
And 8oz [226.80g] will last a very long time indeed.
 I think i will put 2 of the plugs in a jar to age some more.

Issued by British Special Forces during World War II, this pipe could fire a small projectile designed to kill a person at close range. The weapon fired by twisting the bowl while holding the stem.
