Since 1792 pipe tobacco and snuff has been made by the firm the world knows today as Samuel Gawith & Co., Ltd. Located in the Kendal Brown House in Kendal, England, gateway to the famed Lake District, tradition is more than just a phrase for the folks at Gawith, it is a way of life. Fine pipe tobaccos, in leaf, flake, rope and plug form, are made today using the same techniques, recipes and machinery that have been used for over 150 years. Truly the folks at Gawith understand the old saying about "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", and their dedication to producing high quality smoking tobaccos comes through in every bowlful. We are pleased to be able to offer the following selection of the finest the Lake District has to offer, Samuel Gawith tobaccos

1792 FLAKE 50g This is a full strength, mellow tobacco comprising a blend of dark fired Tanzanian leaf. It is Gawith's best-selling premium grade flake. It starts as 7lbs. of hand stripped leaf and goes through a steaming process prior to being pressed. The cake, having been prepared, is wrapped in a select leaf and packed by hand into a 12 inch square. This cake is pressed and left for a minimum of two hours. Then, the pressed cake is placed into a steam press where it is baked at full heat for two to three hours. The baked cake has then taken on 1792's characteristic rich, dark color. Its hardening occurs during cooling. Once the process of cutting the flake and adding a tonquin flavoring is carried out, hand wrapping and packing finalizes 1792, making it ready for rubbing into your pipe. $10.00
BEST BROWN FLAKE 50g A firm favorite for the pipe smoker looking for a medium strength, gentle and slow burning tobacco. Manufactured using hand-stripped flue cured leaf, each cake comprises 7lbs, wrapped with selected prime wrapper leaf. After initial steaming, to achieve a pliable leaf, the "cake" is pressed and cooked for approximately 1-2 hours, sufficient time for the tobacco to develop its characteristic medium brown color and its distinctive nutty aroma which can only come from the combination of prime leaf and the experience and knowledge of the person making the flake. No flavors are added to best brown flake although a sweetener is added to best brown scented. A good, even smoke, with no tongue-bite $10.00
COMMONWEALTH MIXTURE 50g This bicentennial full strength blend of 50% heavily steamed Virginia and 50% Cyprus Latakia, gives honor to the Tobacco Lords of Glasgow and the Commonwealth of Virginia which laid the foundation for the tobacco industry that built much of this country.
