Samuel Gawith Skiff Mixture 50g

I've been smoking a lot of straight Virginias lately, so the smooth, natural way the Turkish leaf and Latakia mingle here was a real change of pace. The 50g tin is perfect for a week of evening bowls, and it never bites, even when I'm puffing a little fast.

The Turkish leaf gives it a complex, earthy sweetness that I haven’t found in other Balkan blends, and it burns cool and slow in the bowl. Perfect for a long, contemplative smoke.

The Latakia adds just enough smokiness without overpowering the Orientals, making this a smooth all-day smoke. It burns cool and even in my pipe, with a natural sweetness from the Virginias that keeps things interesting.
