Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake Pipe Tobacco 50g
1792 Flake is a full-strength flake pipe tobacco (Gawith's best selling premium grade flake), comprising a blend of dark-fired Tanzanian leaf. It starts as 7 lbs. of hand stripped leaf and goes through a steaming process prior to being pressed. The cake, having been prepared, is wrapped in a select leaf and packed by hand into a 12-inch square. This cake is pressed and left for a minimum of two hours. Then, the pressed cake is placed into a steam press where it is baked at full heat for two to three hours. The baked cake has then taken on 1792's characteristic rich, dark colour. After this ageing period, the tobacco is given a top dressing of Tonquin, before being cut ready to smoke.
The resulting tobacco is rich, with an earthy, leather flavour that is velvety smooth with a sweet side thanks to the added Tonquin. Think of this as a sweet treat for the lovers of dark and strong Virginia & Kentucky type tobaccos.
This is very strong tobacco and not for everyone, those new to the pipe should start a little lighter.
