Samuel Gawith Commonwealth Mixture. For all you EnglishLatakia lovers out there, you are really missing out if you havent tried this one. For those of you who are not fans of English blends, you should stay away. This stuff is awesome. I would give it four stars if they reduced the latakia by 1. I would recommend perique. But alas, they would need to change the name to something other than Commonwealth Acadian English Alliance. However, if you are just plain craving latakia and virginias, then this is the bomb. It lights very easily and has the right amount of moisture out of the tin. This is contrary to one of SGs other fan favorite latakia blends, Squadron Leader which I will review at a later date.

There are a few other English blends that I like more Ashton Artisans Blend which I will review at a later date will certainly be getting a full four stars, but this one will definitely remain a member of my crew of English friends. A real manly smoke. I personally love Latakia so a mixture of 5. Latakia and 5. 0 percent Virginia would be a mix made in heaven. This blend is very smoky, leathery, and earthy, has some floral overtones as well. Holds a light. Burns clean and smells ever so lovely and stinky strong. Like I said a real manly smoke. Peace.

Upon opening this ripe old tin, you will be greeted by a very oily wax paper cover that protects a dark, rich looking blend with a smattering of sugar crystals all over the leaf. The tin bouquet is enticing and will cause the body to undergo a trembling sensation as you load your pipe. It was not all that easy to pack anyway because the leaf is very long stranded. At the match, this one provide a pleasant, sweet Latakia flavor with delightful aged Virginia playing in the background. A 5. 05. 0 VirginiaLatakia blend that will please. Medium cut. Powerful smell.

For the dedicated smoker who demands a fuller flavor to the tobacco. Commonwealth, another Samuel Gawith BiCentenarian, is a fullstrength blend of 50 heavily. As I write this review youll notice I capitalize New when talking about the New Nintendo 2DS XL. That isnt an affectation on my part. Pure latakia is strongly flavoured but curiously lacking in body, as I discovered when I smoked some experimentally. This mixture, therefore, could have been a bit thin but it isnt. The Virginia has been well chosen to beef it up. This is one of my four S. G. regulars. So far, I have only ever tried it new, but I have five tins of it ageing 9 months old at the moment and will open one every Christmas for the next five years, to see what happens to it as it ages.

Samuel Gawith Commonwealth Mixture. The unlit mixture is more like ribbon cut than a broken flake albeit very appealing visually as it covers the whole spectrum of tobacco colours, right from bright yellow to jet black. The aroma of the mixture is delightful, a very rich and intoxicating blend of smoky Latakia, a touch of raisins and an almost peaty quality. Moisture level is superb with this one, requiring no extra time to dry. Due to the moisture amount it lights with great ease, giving a brillianteven burn leaving a grey ash. I really cant find a negative point with the flavour of the smoke, the Virginia gives it a very solid base with the smoky eminence from the Latakia really shining brightly. I dont get any dried fruit as I did in the aroma at all, but what I do get is pure brilliance. Room note is very pleasing but not at all overpowering, so this one wont offend any non smokers around. I feel that if you like Latakia smokiness then this one is a must for you to try Pipe Used Peterson Dracula. Age When Smoked New. Purchased From Smoke King. Similar Blends Squadron Leader. Samuel Gawith Commonwealth Mixture, BULK from pipesandcigars. This has a wonderful room note Sweet and nutty, although the flavor is flat and the VA barely comes across never mind the fact that it has a bite and sour taste that is very disappointing. I tried aging some with no results. By adding 13 ECR bulk to this it added body and the sweetness it so lacked without it. So, I was able to save it but I wont buy it again. I blend my own Cyp Lat mix that blows this out of the water, but we learn by trying. If youre looking for an excellent English Cyp Lat mixture, please try Balkan Sesieni. You wont be disappointed. Next, dont be taken in by the remake of Balkan Sobraine. Youll be spoofed into paying a lot of money for the name, but you will not get the product you were hoping for. The first 14 tastes fairly nice, but then it immediately turns to bitter bitey dottle, and then you know youve been had, while the makers of the stuff are laughing all the way to the bank. Just a word of warning. Its being re released in small amounts from time to time, but avoid it at all costs. It is NOTHING like to original Since Sam Gawith and their German importers Kohlhaase, Kopp Co. Latakia and VA, I had to do my duty. Hence I ordered a tin, which then had to wait around for a month for me to finish a few tins of other blends I had open at the time. I was with friends when I finally opened the tin. The tin note is more than a little remeniscent of Dan Tobaccos Hollys Discovery going by the descriptions of the blends, that is not the only similarity both are approx. LatakiaVA blends. Damp as it is out of the tin, the dark brown to black leaf of Commonwealth still lights up readily. Lots of smokiness and toast from the beginning, spice and full tilt sweetness. Mind you, I love Balkan blends with their abundance of orientals and their layers of depth and variety in taste and texture. But this is the stuff I had been searching for until I found Hollys Discovery the full VA sweetness with the full amount of Latakia toast and spice only in this case as an easy to stuff ribbon. What can I say My friends also had a go at this, and both one of them a Lady pipester found it to be quite good and satisfying. Four bloody stars, already. Goes well with Islay and Orkney Single Malts.
