Samuel Gawith Chocolate Flake 50g

The dark flakes smell amazing in the tin, with a deep cocoa note that translates well to the smoke. It burns slow and cool, leaving a pleasant room note that isn't overpowering.

The flake rubs out easily and packs perfectly, and the gentle Virginia sweetness really comes through. It’s a smooth, cool smoke that doesn’t bite, even for a beginner like me.

The Latakia is so well-balanced here—just a wisp of smoke behind the sweet Virginia and burley, making it a perfect all-day aromatic. The flake burns slow and cool in my cob, and the chocolate note stays present without ever turning cloying. I've already ordered another tin.
