Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake
(3.40)
This is the Aged Limited Edition, the cakes have been aged for 2 years. The ageing process has enhanced the tobacco by mellowing the Virginias which brings out more of the natural sugars. This in turn has created a change to the flavour producing now a rich dark pudding with meadow notes.

I am not sure why this tobacco has gotten good reviews. The flake was too wet upon opening tin. When smoked wet, it was difficult to keep lit. When smoked dry, it was harsh and bit my tongue even when smoked lightly. The flavor was bitter and harsh. The tin note was pleasant with hints of fruit and raisins. I do not care in the least how a tobacco smells in the tin and have never understood why that is a concern of anyone. I have heard the tobacco improves with age and mellows out. Maybe the maker should age it first and then sell it.
