This is the cheapest pipe tobacco one can buy in sweden these days (not that it is cheap though).
Some rum is added to this blend, giving the tobacco some round sweetness, not in any way to sweet, just gently comforting.
upon smoking, the smoke is cool, packs easy, lights easy. An all day smoke.
I usually smoke this when working at my desk. This blend allows you to have your mind on other things, but still enjoy a good smoke. Works very well in a lady pipe or other pipes that have a small bowl.
Nothing extraordninary, but a good quality tobacco; therefore the three stars
****EDIT*****
I just had a bowlfull of Samuel Gawith - Full virginia Flake. In the light of that tobacco related orgasm, I cannot keep this at 3 stars. It is not bad, butt hell, it is not as sweet and good as FVF...

Rummy hints, with a room note similar to Greve Gilbert Hamiltons blandning, a very unexceptional smoke, lunch break or garden work smoke, straight forward and high "smokeability"

This tobacco is the one that started it all for me, many moons ago, together with an ugly-looking "Real Briar" basket pipe. I have vague memories of not exactly enjoying it back then. However, I recently gave it another chance, now with more experience than when I first tried it out.
The pouch claims that it is flavoured with rum on the pouch. It might be, but that would be fairly hard to notice even when opening the pouch. That is actually not bad; too many flavoured tobaccoes, especially those that are more geared to those who smoke pipe only for the nicotine, usually rely all too much on drenching the leaf to disguise a lower quality product.
Apparently, there is virginia and burley in there. It is a bit hard to sort out from looks alone, as the cut is the usual one for Swedish OTC brands: thin, long strands.
The flavour is fine; the tobacco tastes slightly sweet and spicey and a bit dry. It is not exactly a remarkable experience. It is definitely not some fancy hand-blended mixture, this is very much an all-day tobacco, probably at it's best while your mind is occupied with work or chores. As seems to be usual with Swedish supermarket blends, it may burn a bit too hot and fast.
Probably not something I would return to, but since it seems to be a fairly forgiving blend, it is somewhat recommended. Just keep in mind to not puff too much...
