Samuel Gawith Beginner's Luck
(2.50)
The second in the coop with Samuel Gawith and The Danish Pipe Shop. The goal was to find a perfect tobacco for the ones who smokes occasionally, fans of semi-aromatic pipe tobacco and new pipe smokers. This is a loose cut, easy to pack, mixture with top quality Virginia, burley and cavendish. For a pleasant flavour, whisky and vanilla has been added.
Notes: This is number 2 in the cooperation between SG and TDPS. This is the follow up on the Brown Sugar Flake and is a total different tobacco and target audience.

Samuel Gawith - Beginner's Luck (The Danish Pipe Shop).
A new Sam Gawith blend, can anyone guess the problem? That's right, it's too wet!
In comparison to the Virginia and Burley, there's only a tiny amount of Black Cavendish. The aromatic additions come through strong in the tin-note, with the whisky being the clearer of the two.
Joking aside, it's not the wettest Sam G' I've had, it lights ok without any airing time. Then, the aromatics come over as I expected from the tin-note: strong. The whisky, again like the aroma from the tin, is easily the stronger of the two. The vanilla struggles to contend with it, it's notable, but nowhere near as formidable. The tobacco's taste alright, what flavour can get past the casing, but there's nothing extraordinary about them. The biggest problem with B.L. for me is the bite; it's quite bad in that area.
The nicotine's mild to medium, and the room-notes quite nice.
I gave Sam Gawith and The Danish Pipe Shops first collaboration four stars, sadly though, this only gets two.
Somewhat recommended.
