Samuel Gawith Grousemoor
(2.84)
An original blend from Samuel Gawith, Grousemoor conjures up a vision of the Lakeland scenery with its accompaniment of seasonal scents. Manufactured in the heart of Lakeland for over 200 years. Using a combination of hand-stripped flue-cured leaf, Grousemoor is first steamed prior to being cut. After further steaming, to give Grousemoor its own golden color, the cut leaf is stoved then “rested”. The final stage of production is the addition of a unique melange of flavors. Grousemoor is a ‘must’ for smokers who want their days to have “Spring in the air”.

This is an aro in my book, and a very very hard one to smoke.
I had huge hopes for this, such a great tin note of hay and grass and fruits of various kinds, but my doubts started by how sticky and wet the tobacco was. I got it dry enough to try some, and this did such strange things to my pallet that I could barely finish. Irish Oak did the same to me, I don't know if I have the problem or what, but this gave me horrifying dry-mouth and the aroma almost made my eyes water.
Its a sharp, sour and very tangy and strange aroma. People beside me in the lounge I was in said it smelled rancid almost, such an odd experience. I can't really explain it that well, but it smells like gone-off fruit mixed with cider or something. This was the greatest example I've ever had of the tin note betraying the actual flavor.
This ghosted my pipe so much that I almost needed to bring it somewhere for severe cleaning.
Get a cheap pipe and get a sample before you pay SG prices for a tin. Also, dry it out until its almost crackling, smoking this wet will remove your ability to taste for a day.

Yuck! It tasted like a Virginia flavored with soap, like a Lake District blend. I only smoked two bowls before this blend landed in the trash.

If you are a slow smoker maybe this will work for you. But I usually take long puffs and for the way I smoke, it has a way too strong aroma. Tastes like, I just smoked a flower garden.

Upon opening this tin, which was a gift from my wife, I was fully prepared to be disgusted. I always appreciate it when my wife supports my expensive hobby, so I had to oblige. The tin smells of sweet lemon grass, as advertised. To me, it does not smell anything like pipe tobacco. But then I lit it up. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. This is unlike any tobacco that I have in my collection. It is a very nice out of the ordinary smoke that I now use to shake things up from my usual routine. The room note is very pleasant, which makes the wife happy. I love the art on the tin, and as an avid bird hunter, that probably has some positive bias for me. I don't smoke this often, and I have to be in the right mood for it. Its something that I reserve for special occasions, and I would recommend it as a nice change of pace, but not an everyday lineup smoke.

The thought of a strongly cased lemon smoke made my ears prick up so I took the plunge. I cant believe none of you can taste the ginger in this. It is Ginger-Lemon-Honey in that order. It even has the piquancy of ginger in the mouth. Just thought I'd warn you. Contrary to what many have said, there are ZERO 'Lakeland' flavourings in this one. If I knew it tasted of ginger, I would not have bought it. Not my cup of tea at all but it's smokable i.e. not dump-the-bowl-immediately bad. I've only smoked one pipe of it so far so will update later when I've given it a fair go.

Oh my goodness, this is bad stuff. The casing is wretched, I can't fathom lemon being paired with tobacco. Smoking a coughdrop is pretty accurate and just, imho, disgusting.

Grousemoor didn't really impress. I think it's one of those tobacco's that has to be enjoyed in the right scenario, maybe a winter walk throughout the forest or on a shoot, but apart from that it's a very strange flavour that doesn't seem to "fit in" with daily rotation. Mine consists of a sweet aromatic in the morning, pure VA in the afternoon and full English after dinner. Smoke a few bowls with an open mind, happy piping!

This simply does not suit my taste in tobacco. The tim aroma, or bag in this case smells exactly like the inside of a walk in cigar humidor; not a bad smell. That was the pinnacle for me, as things went downhill fast from there. The taste of Grousemoor could not be more gross! If you have ever smelled the slightly sour fermentation process of corn silage, it is a dead ringer for the taste. I grew up on a dairy farm, and I don't find that specific smell offensive, its just not what I am looking for in pipe tobacco. I may have ruined a very nice vintage Custom Built pipe with this tobacco.
To those who love Grousemoor send me your address and I'd be happy to drop the better part of 2 ounces in the mail for you! I would like to verify that you are over 18 years old first.
