Got some of this Sam Gawith blend during a time of mild exasperation when all of my regular Kendal blends were completely absent from the inventories of my usual suppliers. (I just hate hunting down new ones and stubborn loyalty as a virtue and dislike of change is a personal personality quirk of mine [a usual pipe smoker trait?])
At any rate I ordered some as the lesser of two evils - substitute or derth-- and was mostly satisfied with the purchase. I wouldn't claim it as a really good substitute for my usual choices of Full Virginia Flake, Medium Virginia Flake and Broken Scoth Cake as well as the Virgina-Perique blends of both Gawiths but it was not bad at all.
The cut of it was a bit strange for me but the taste was acceptable as was the burning qualities and filling qualities. The Room Note was just about irrevelant and no problem and the strength was quite reasonable if a bit on the weaker end of the spectrum. I've since sampled the Gawith-Hoggarth Bright CR Flake which is similar to this taste but much more full and "complex" (whatever that really means)This one(Bright CR Flake) I will keep as a regular stock up blend - definitely!
Will I reorder more?Probably,especially if it is the best choice available. Would I order it for a regular in my collection? Probably not, but it was acceptable.
Sorta like taking your cousin to the prom and learning that she could dance really well and was fun to be with. It wasn't the best but what the hell it was all right for what it was.
