Squadron Leader
Have been searching for a tobacco I enjoyed. This one is not too heavy, bite my tongue, or burn my nose. The flavor is enjoyable plus the aroma doesn’t assault mother.

Excellent tobacco. Produced a very light, dry, smooth smoke. Very enjoyable and very relaxing. Highly recommended!

Good and Faithfull smoke
I don't know what else could be said. This is a well proven and classic smoke. Sometimes it can be hard to find. It's good all around smoke. High quality tobacco.

The english
Purchased the 250-gram box. Upon opening the bag you’re greeted with orientals and Virginia’s. Once jarred the latakia comes to the front. Once you light it to the front comes Virginia’s and orientals with the latakia balancing everything out. A mild to medium English blend Everyone can enjoy.

Excellent tobacco with no burn and just a mild draw you could nurse all day. I tried to order awhile ago and I appreciated the notification it was back in stock. Thank you!!

A very wonderful English blend
What a wonderful English blend to relax with. The Latakia is not dominant but it is there. This is a very pleasant smoke.

A very nice pleasant all day smoke. Just the right amount Of creamy latakia. great room note burns evenly with no issue of relights. I smoke it in a 1961 Kaywoodie bulldog and the past meets my new favorite tobacco as a perfect pair I have already gotten several more tins from my local tobacconist.

Gawith is bomb!
This is a quintessential English and something every pipe smoker should have cellared! I hate writing reviews, only making these wonderful blends more difficult to get but, I just want to share my love of pipe smoking. This is delicious and worth the wait.
