Samuel Gawith Kendal Cream Mixture
(3.00)
Using the same blend as Kendal Cream Flake, we have developed this broad cut mixture for the smoker who enjoys a mild and creamy pipeful. Experience the particularly pleasing room-aroma.
Notes: This selection of blended burley and Virginias offers a mild and creamy smoke from a medium density flake. With an added essence, the pipe smoker who derives pleasure from an easy to rub out flake will certainly enjoy Samuel Gawith's Kendal Cream Flake.

Perhaps I should have tried the flake version first, as this blend underwhelmed me. Initial light produced a sudden and strong berry/cherry flavor. As a newcomer to Lake district styles, I'm always surprised by this fruity, floral note. Midway into the bowl this has dissipated somewhat and there's a nice, mild but solid tobacco flavor. I don't find this to be as much of an aromatic as other blends, but it certainly doesn't drive the dog out of the room. Will definitely have to try the flake version.

Methinks this is not merely the Flake version haphazardly chopped apart and placed in a can. None of the strength or complexity that is present in the latter shows up. I found a rough mix of burley and virginia, doused in an unidentifiable scent. That being said, the smoke is passable, for someone who ventures into the land of heavily cased Lakeland tobaccos. A friend of mine smokes this almost exclusively and I consider him a sensible fellow...I'll enjoy the Flake.

Being a regular flake smoker, I ordered this tin in error instead of Kendal Cream Flake. This is not a ready rubbed tobacco as indicated above but rather a wide ribbon cut of very moist light brown VAs and Burleys. Perhaps I already had two strikes since I also don't prefer aromatics. I had great difficulty obtaining uniform packing due the the cut and moisture of the tobacco. If packed too hard, the air hole became clogged or the draw difficult to impossible. If too loose, the tobacco burned unevenly and very quickly compared to my flakes. Without these problems, a creamy enjoyable taste resulted but it's just not worth the aggravation. Realize that this is a heavily but distinctly flavored blend without much hint of tobacco flavor. Only aromatic fanciers might enjoy this one. I hope to get better results from the Flake version.

I assume this isn't much different than the flake form. It should really be described as a ribbon cut. I decided to try this because I hate flake tobacco. Call me lazy.
Strong but pleasant aroma (like cream, or vanilla).
Taste is good tobacco and a pleasing sweet creamy flavoring. The flavor stays consistent through the bowl.
If you like quality aromatics you will like this and find the flavoring unique. I haven't run across anything else like it.
