Samuel Gawith Pensioners Mixture- Dark Fired Off Cuts
(3.50)
Notes: Every time Samuel Gawith produce on their large cakes (plugs), they have to cut off the rough edges. Rather than wasting these “off cuts”, they store them up and sell out as a “Pensioners Mixture”. This tobacco is not as refined as the usual tobaccos from the Iconic Kendal factory, but offer a high quality smoke for less money than the cheap shags made for supermarkets.
As of now, it's not a commercial release and is only available at a couple of on-line vendors, GQ Tobaccos being one of them.

I bought 100 grams, it's Sam Gawith's, so I have a good idea what I'm getting, I got it from GQ in a plastic bag, crammed said bag in a 50 gram tin and promptly forgot about it. Fortunately when I do this I always date the tin and forget to label the contents, however if it's an SG tobacco, it goes in an SG tin, if it's something else, it goes in a plain unlabelled tin. This one has to be the dark. It was "tinned" 2 years ago, dry but not so dry as to be a harsh burn, the smokiness is very forward, a "rich tasting" tobacco, almost Lat like, good vitamin N content but certainly not overpowering. This has to be the off cuts from Lakeland Dark. A good nice smoke, may yet go into rotation I will definately be back for more. I think we are very fortunate to be able to get this at a very reasonable price.
