Samuel Gawith - Cabbies Uncut.
Cabbies Uncut raises this question to me: why make more work for yourself? I think, the only benefit of CU would be if you found the regular mixture to be nowhere near chunky enough, other than that I can't really see the point in wasting time in preparation when it's available pretty much ready to smoke from a tin. Enough petty whinging, I'll get on with it!
The twist looks quite thick in its un-sliced form, and it's also firm; this takes a sharp blade and a steady hand to ready it for smoking. As well, it's in keeping with the usual amount of wetness expected from Sam G'; slice it then let it dry! There really isn't much of a difference between Mixture and Uncut where the smoking qualities are concerned; unless you prefer VERY chunky tobacco, thus slicing it thicker!
As I found with the tinned version, the Perique gives more flavour than just spice alone; it's nowhere near as sharp as some VaPers; more of the peppery taste, and less of the 'cooling sensation' on the palate.
The Virginia makes up a large proportion of the smoke's taste, as you'd expect: grassy, hay-like, and slightly citrus.
The flavour from Cabbies Uncut is superb, but, as I'm quite lazy all it's really done is remind me how much I like the tinned Mixture!
Four stars for the smoke and two stars for the prep' time; that, I believe, makes this worth three stars!
Recommended.
