Hey guys.
As you know I'm primarily an Aromatic smoker. However; I got a wild hair and cracked a tin of Samuel Gawith Skiff Mixture.
At first, I thought WT....?!!!! This isn't what I had preconceived.
I figured that there would be a hint of Turkish, and other Orientals, followed by a kick of Latakia. (Lah-tak-EEEEEya for those that didn't know that it's actually Southern word.) :D
I was totally surprised. While I was planting some Super Hots that my Nephew had managed to start. (I have no clue as to which species they are.) I packed a bowl in my one and only Sasieni and I proceeded to get a serious case of the spins. Wheeeeee! :D
I wasn't sure I actually liked it. Even Balkans seem to be a bit more mellow than that first bowl... 8O
But..... As I have progressed through the tin (which has been open [lid off] for three days) it's finally drying out enough to be a quite respectable smoke. The humididididididity has been continuously in the 70 to 90% range, so even inside the home-20 it's been difficult to dry.....
I have to say, without any real serious analysis....
This ain't bad......

Like other Samuel Gawith tobaccos I've tried, Skiff does benefit from a little drying-- much more flavorful than when the tin is first opened and it's a tad moist.
