Simply did not like the flavor profile on this one. I had found that the SG line of flakes were very inconsistently sized. The cut would be thin for one flake and then thick for the next flake. Also the flakes were a little difficult to rub out. Lastly, I had trouble keeping this stuff lit and producing an acceptable amount of smoke. Eventually dropped the whole line of flakes due to these drawbacks.

The tin aroma of this Sam Gawith flake is sickly sweet, nothing you can identify as a common or known scent, more like the smell of an organic chemistry lab exercise.
The flakes vary in thickness from 1 to 3 mm. They are almost wet with the topping, and require some combination of drying and rubbing to make it smokeable.
I use a cob to avoid ghosting my briars. And although not as refined an experience as with my cherished briars, I must admit that a five dollar Missouri Meerschaum provides an excellent smoke.
The "added essence" dominates the bowl, but in the second-third of the pipe the tobacco itself starts to shine.
Worth a try if you enjoy flavored weed or love Samuel Gawith, but not likely to play well in Peoria.
Addendum, 27 December 2011: I have quit smoking this one after becoming quite ill. It wasn't the nicotine which made me sick. I'm convinced it was the casing. That organic chemistry lab smell did not mix well with my own personal chemistry.

sorry to say i did not care for this one. I like a tobacco I can eat with a knife and fork, and this ain't one of them. the tin aroma was very mild, and the taist was not there. a bit to mild for me, and my pipe went out three times before I gave up on it.
