**Manufacture Change: Lightly Vacuum Sealed with Plastic Seal On Tin**
The process of preparing this Aromatic Virginia blend may be a little bit on the high-labor side, but the effect creates a blend worthy of note. Grousemoor isn’t what you would expect from an Aromatic, or from a Virginia for that matter. Samuel Gawith has created a blend that’s mild in strength and could be off-putting to the indoctrinated pipe smoker. Like with learning the art of smoking a pipe itself, puffing on Grousemoor requires a little patience, a bit of understanding and more than a passing appreciation for the moments in between “newbie” and “aficionado.”

Fragrant and Fresh
I loved the lemony sweet fragrance of this tobacco. The tin note brought hay and lemongrass to the nose with more than a little floral essence. No hint of traditional Lakeland perfume but something more akin to a Spring fragrance. The aroma carries into the first light but fades quickly and the smoker is left with the typical fresh-cut hay flavor of Virginia. I found myself chasing the lemon flavor through the whole smoke and was left wanting. I hoped for more of a unique smoke but in the end it was more of just a high quality Virginia flavor. I will definitely be returning to this one in search of those elusive lemon notes.

Samuel Gawith Grousemoor
This is another great Lakeland blend that is very pleasant with its top note of lemongrass it has an excellent room note & taste. This blend burns nicely from beginning to end & has no tongue bite. Highly recommended!

Bad Batch maybe?
I’m not sure if I received a bad batch or what. The tobacco had absolutely no flavor at all. It was the plainest smelling and tasting tobacco I have yet tried. It has no flavor at all. 100% plain. It was like my can must have been pulled out of one of the early processing stages. It was very damp and had no smell. Strange!!!

Not for me
I found this SG mixture had way too much "Perfume" for me. I'm not saying it was horrible, just not for me. I still think that SG tobacco blends are some of the best out there.

Definitely different
This is probably a love or hate, but worth the price of admission to find out.

Great subtle complex flavors
I am an avid upland hunter and English Setter guy, so honestly, they had me with the tin right from the start. To say I was very pleased with the blend is an understatement. Gorgeous color and texture with a most pleasant under stated scent. A medium body aromatic smoke with just rhe right amount of complex flavors that change as you go.
