Samuel Gawith Scottish Autumn Flake
(3.73)
Scottish Autumn Pipe Tobacco by Samuel Gawith has the natural ripeness of the long-pressed Virginias. Along with the slow-burn this makes Scottish Autumn a most suitable flake for smoking on its own, or blending with other tobaccos.
Notes: This flake is part of a limited Four Season series in a wild collaboration of Samuel Gawith, Stanislaw and DTM. These flakes are:
Irish Spring Time Flake, English Summer Flake, Scottish Autumn Flake, and Winter Time Flake.

Yet another damn fine flake from Gawith's.
I was impressed by the lovely aroma coming from the tin when I popped the lid and it seems to remain whilst I make my way through this really tasty flake.
It's quite a lot darker than I thought it would be and it can actually be smoked straight from the tin, which is unusual for Gawith's blends. I just hope it doesn't over-dry (?) as the days pass. Not that it will have much time to dry out anyway, as this is so delicious I keep diving in for one bowl after another.
A superb smoke, ranking with some SG's finest, including Best Brown and Golden Glow.
Get this while you can. No prizes where I had to go to get this.
And no there's not a drop of whisky anywhere near this and I have to say I really don't know why this classed as Scottish.

Excellent!! I have had all of the "Four Seasons" by Gawith (and Stanislaus) and enjoyed each one. My biggest complaint is I can't seem to find it any more. To me, this is the perfect pure Virginia. Flakes are nice, easy to fold-n-stuff and always an enjoyable experience. Some say there is a honey topping. Maybe, but even if there is, it doesn't detract from the experience. This is aptly marketed for autumn. In my neck of the woods (cactus more like it), autumn brings warm (90's), dry days with nary a cloud in the sky. This flake is ideal for sitting on the front stoep and letting the world go by. On a recent trip to Europe I found this flake duty-free for €6.95 a tin, so I snapped up a few more. I can't see any Virginia lover not liking this flake.
