Review: Commonwealth (Samuel Gawith)

Blend: Commonwealth Mixture
Manufacture: Samuel Gawith
Container: 50g Tin
Tobacco: Virginia blended with Latakia (50/50)
Cut: Broken Flake

Smoking Notes: This was my 3rd bowl and I already can't get enough of it! This is a Med-Full bodied tobacco boasting a nice combination of Virigina and Latakia. It's a fairly complex blend; which is suprising when you consider it's a 50/50 mix. Should be pretty
straight forward, it isn't. There is a nice ballet of flavors as the Virigina and Latakia dance throughout. (Did I just use ballet in a review?)

General Notes: If you're a fan of Latakia blends than this is a must try. If you're thinking of exploring them I would pass on this one at first. There is alot of subtely with this blend and it would be difficult to put your finger on without some prior experience. None the less, this is an excellant smoke and should be in everyone's cellar.

Overall Assessment: This is an outstanding smoke. When I think of an "English blend", this is what I think of. A good balance of Virigina and Latakia. Neither dominating the smoke, each presenting itself with confidence throughout the bowl. I believe it's availabe in bulk
as well...in which case I'll be investing in a good amount to keep on hand.

Cool review Jax, but I'm staying away from any tobacco that contains Latikia !

And this from a person that used to smoke 2 packs of clove cigs a day for 20 years.

Do they make a clove pipe tobacco ? Ummm Clove !!!!!
