Fvf plus rum and lat
November 09, 2017
Product: Samuel Gawith Navy Flake 50g
Sam gawiths navy flake is not what I expected, but that isn't a bad thing here. I assumed there would be a stronger Latakia presence but instead there is just enough to lend some flavor and complexity. The first half of the bowl brought more up fro... Read More
nt Latakia aroma and light on the Virginia, with the rums sweetness coming through quite nicely. The room note is quite pleasant here, evoking memories of pipe smoke in my childhood. As the bowl develops into the second half the sweet and salty bread gawith virginias really take over for me, with the Latakia and rum taking a step back but still present in a more subtle way. The dynamic here lasts throughout the remainder of the bowl, and I found myself greedily puffing for more, when in the first half I was about to put it down for some dgt. To me SG navy flake is a sleeper blend, and continually grows on me. I love FVF and it not only scratches the same itch but adds a little complexity. With that being said I don't think it truly earns the 4th dot for flavor, though I can imagine with a year or two of age on it navy flakes flavor will indeed deepen and become sweeter. Like most gawith virginias this one has a tendency to bite me if I get carried away even remotely, and therefore it remains an occasional treat. It's worth trying for sure. Read Less

不知道为啥才3。8分，对我来说这草很完美，4.5分以上。抽的老草，开罐第一斗味道一般，放了一个礼拜那味道觉了！天天3斗，一小盒很快就消灭了！香气顺滑，甜甜的奶油香让人欲罢不能，非常柔和的力道。

劲道3.0 饱满度3.5 室韵3.
以朗姆酒作为调味的斗草。这款草的调性和马坝家的拉塔基亚切片有点像，都是以V草作为主线。点燃以后坚果味奶味加淡淡的V草甜味，舌尖和鼻腔感受到了酒韵以及类似于喝酒的刺激感，拉草味道很弱；中段以后劲道加强甜度有所上升，主线味道变成了烤面包的感觉，酒韵仍在；最后小半斗，酒韵突然消失，L草味道成为主角，但皮革味仍然很淡，V草甜度减弱，没有特别明显的主线味道。总结这款草很适合作为和淡酒品一起搭配享用，劲道适中，前大半斗的酒韵调配很显功力。斗温偏高似乎是最大的缺点。

Definitely breaks up the classic navy with latakia smokiness. The rum has a molasses flavor to me that gives a sweet kiss in between the spice that keeps dancing in you mouth the more you smoke it. Creates awesome smoke that is mesmerizing. This c... Read More

不时能抽出奶香，这种奶香更像是内蒙的奶茶香，因为会略微的感到一点咸，烟气很柔和，不顶吼也不咬舌，劲道整体适中吧，并不算大。

This is the first Navy flake that I have tried with Latakia. If you have ever smoked Full Virginia Flake, you can pick up the same Virginia flavor in this blend, the Latakia doesn't overpower the VA (IMO). A well balanced blend, it became an instant ... Read More

Perfection
August 30, 2023
Product: Samuel Gawith Navy Flake 50g
America started this whole tobacco thing, but those Brits win the contest, hands down. This is by far the greatest navy flake currently in existence. Both sister companies Sam Gawith and Gawith Hoggarth always use the very highest quality leaf as not... Read More
hing else will suffice. They give it that Old World royal treatment. More than a touch of class. This had been fit for the Queen and now it's fit for the King Himself. As companies the Gawiths represent the absolute standard for excellence, the index, the highest benchmark one could aspire to meet. As always, this blend provided truly remarkable tobaccos, exciting flavors, intoxicating aromas, satisfaction guaranteed. Smoke so thick and creamy you need to chew it. Virginias so grassy you'll think you've been transported to a meadow in the North Riding (that's Cornwall for you yanks). Latakia so damned smoky-spicy delicious it'll curl your toes. And finally, take care, boys: there is so much booze in this stuff it will make you tipsy. Such a treat, such perfection. When I crave a navy flake with all the classic components -- Virginia, Latakia, and a cask of sweet rum -- I never reach for anything else. All the pretenders should wave the white flag, pack it up, and go home. The real one has arrived. Accept no substitutes. Read Less
Too much anchor,

Product: Samuel Gawith Navy Flake 50g
If this is a Navy Flake, then I’m Sir Francis Dashwood. I smoked this right from the tin. By the way, tobacco does not age in a vacuum sealed tin.
The sloppy dark flakes were damp and needed a few hours to dry. Alright, the tobacco needed direct su... Read More
nlight and a power fan to dry to an ideal smokable humidity.
After I loaded my pipe and added flame the Latakia was the main component I smelled and tasted. The Latakia is far over used in this blend. Strong, and aroma that is barely tolerable. Read Less

Sam Gawith VA with Rum
April 28, 2021
Product: Samuel Gawith Navy Flake 50g
The earthy, fermented and bready sweetness of the Virginia is complimented by the slightest amount of Latakia, which lends complexity to the richness of a fermented Virginia. The rum is assertive and boozy at first - not aromatic, and supports the ... Read More
other two components very well. VA can smoke a little spicy at times, and this one does nip a little at the tip of my tongue, but certainly doesn't bite. Also, VA typically has a thin smoke, so don't puff and puff hoping for thick, mouth-filling smoke like burley. You'll ruin the nuance and get nipped. With lots of choices, why is this one worth trying? Gawith VA flake of course. There's no other manufacturer than does VA flake like Sam Gawith. It's in its own class, and the addition of Latakia in such small amounts melds so darn well with that sweet, deeply fermented depth of flavor of a Sam Gawith VA. Full flavor, thin body, nicotine is 2.5 out of 5. Read Less

Product: Samuel Gawith Navy Flake 50g
I'm somewhat loath to ding old Sam but this blend is far younger than tins from the early 2000's. Not as dark in the tin and the topping is too motor oil like and not so rummy as I remembered. I realize tobacco sources do change or perhaps it is shi... Read More
pped younger to meet demand. I purchased St James Flake a few years ago and found it the same. Jarred up it is now almost black so I will do so with this and see. The lat is over powered by the industrial topping? I liked this a lot back in the day. Maybe my tastes have changed? Read Less

Disappointed
February 20, 2017
Product: Samuel Gawith Navy Flake 50g
I'm not a latakia fan so I thought based on the rum flavoring I may enjoy this. After going through the 1st of 2 tins I ordered I'm suprised to say that while I found the latakia tolerable, it was the only flavor I got from this. It was barely there ... Read More
and that was the only flavor. I didn't get any rum even on the retrohale. Its not bad but it was so one dimensional and light it's not what I enjoy smoking. It was, like all SG tobacco, moist from the tin and required drying. The flakes rubbed out great and packed well. Just not for me. I'll try the 2nd tin just incase I got a bad tin and update this if required...
Addendum... not change with the 2nd tin... same thing. I can see why one would like this... it's a quality tobacco... just not my thing. Read Less

March 13, 2014
Product: Samuel Gawith Navy Flake 50g
One of my favourite flakes when smoked in a pipe that has a hefty latakia flavour embedded in the briar. However, in a fresh pipe, I find it to be a tad acrid as many virginia blends seem to me. More latakia would be nice, but still a lovely smoking ... Read More
