Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake

Having gotten reacquainted with a cellared jar of this and learning how to pack it so it stays reasonably lit.. still takes a few relights, I purchased more recently so I'd always have some on hand. Its a unique flavor that I enjoy very much every couple of days. I recommend it highly and would like to get a couple more tins for the cellar.

1792. I gotta feva, and the only prescription, is more Gawith!

Delicious and powerful. Give it a try and enjoy your life!

I cellared my tin of 1792 flake roughly 3 years ago when I first began my love for Peterson's Irish Flake. When I finally opened 1792 earlier this month, I was excited with the anticipation. However, the first three bowls were very disappointing! I was confused why I kept getting this burnt taste in my mouth, and most importantly having no major nicotine hit. Keep in mind during this time, it was very windy and lighting the wet tobacco was extremely complicating. After 3 failed bowls, I realized i needed to rethink my mindset and preparation process. First, I did a major cleaning of all pipes with both regular and extra fluffy pipe cleaners. Then, I took the tobacco I was going to stuff in my pipe and instead of folding it, I rubbed it out and air dried it for 15-20. Then I stuffed the rubbed out tobacco into my bowl and found smoking it to be a very pleasing experience and I got what I was looking for from the 1792 flake. I'm very satisfied and will plan to smoke this blend for many years to come. I'm reminded now by how wet Samuel Gawith tobaccos are in their tins and I realize they probably do this because people tend to keep tobacco in the tins for long periods of time, and that rubbing and airdrying selected tobacco quanities is the key to handling this. So in conlusion, 1792 flake is a great smoke and preparing it the right way matters a lot as well. Hope this helps and happy smoking!

Just a caution... This an amazing smoke but part of a class all its own. I have smoked 1792 and other SG for years. Last Sunday, knowing I'd have nothing to do I sat down and packed a fat bowl. An hour or so later I woke up and initially didn't know if it was the next morning. I was experienced but on an off day... Never enjoy this while driving. Love it, smoke it but respect it.

Lesson I learned about 1792 Flake: rub a few flakes and let it air a bit in order to keep it lit, never smoke this in the morning or on an empty stomach ( it'll knock you silly), ignore the initial tin aroma because first you'll be stunned but be patient because you'll really fall in love with this stuff. This is not your all day smoke but a special treat like after-Sunday- dinner at Mom's. Lastly, save some money in next month's paycheck ' cause you will be ordering more. A unique & excellent blend. Samuel Gawith offers some great pipe tobaccos!!

Love the taste

I started smoking pipe quiet a while ago. Through my journey meeting all types of pipe tobaccos I eventually made my way to Sam Gawith's Full Virginia flake, and thought I had found the one. I thought I could settle down with Full Virginia, somewhere in the hills with a white picket fence, and stop my ramblin' man ways. But, alas, she found me... 1792 flake! She's an elegant dark beauty, who's vanilla plum perfume is intoxicating. When I'm not with her, I dream about her. I have finally found the tobacco of my dreams....at least for a while.

I love ordering my products from you guys, because it's a good feeling to know that my products will be delivered as ordered. Thanks

1792 smells great out of the tin. I've gone through 3 tins and there will be more. This is my first favorite. It is plenty strong and I find the room note pleasant. I enjoy Dunhill Nightcap, Royal Yacht, and 5 Brothers, but this is a treat.

The near perfect after dinner smoke! The tonquin is very present so if you don't like it, avoid this.

Have to put this at the top of my flake tobacco list.This is an amazing smoke.very strong nicotine,with a great full flavor,I like the tonquin bean topping on this one.Like many who smoke this know it has to dry out for a bit.Flakes rub out easily,and a little goes along way.More than average re-lights,but once it gets going it's worth it.I recommend a smaller bowl for best results.almost done with my first tin,and immediately ordered more.1792 is a rewarding smoke,and a must try for those who like strong tobacco put this one on the top of your list.A true legendary smoke!

An excellent tobacco. The strong, natural scent of the tobacco (reminiscent of Samuel Gawith Black XX, actually) is cut with the slight fruit flavor and aroma of the tonquin dressing. Overall, a smooth, well flavored, easy-burning, and satisfying blend.

The first time I ordered Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake, it was not in stock, approximately two months ago. I have placed three orders since then and every time I received my order within three to four days of placing the order. It appears that Pipes and Cigars will stock items for which they receive regular orders. I have been very pleased with their service so far and I hope it continues. 1792 Flake is a very full-bodied tobacco, not for beginners. It is satisfying and full-flavored. Thankis.

I liked how hard it hits. Didn't like the tonquin so much.
