Question for the Various Samuel Gawith Flakes

[VirginiaMan]

1792 definitely ghosted for me. I usually smoke it out of a cobb or a basket pipe since I never have enough of it to dedicate one nice pipe to it.

 

[AppalachianPipe92]

Like many, I designate a pipe per blend type (Burley, VaPer, VA, etc). Lakeland is only smoked from 2 pipes I own, especially the older stuff.

You should experiment, maybe.

Me, I like a Virginia after a latakia. Others hate it. No matter what you do, somebody will tell you you're wrong but as long as you're putting the tobacco in the big end and putting the little end in your mouth, you're ok.

Only tobacco I smoke that has a dedicated pipe is Rattray‘s Exotic Orange, this stuff would ghost anything it’s near. I left a small bowl of this drying in my smoking cabinet 3/4 years ago and every time you walk past it you can still smell the rich aroma
SG’s are good to cross over and won’t ? imo.

Orange, or Passion? The original blend leaves nothing in the pipes I smoke it in.

Really? Thats interesting. I have some of the Passion and it's a helluva ghoster. Curious how different the Orange is

This one but I thought these were one and the same thing

The original was more citrus rind than full blown orange aromatic, more of an enhanced Virginia. It was easily dispelled by other blends.

@VDL_Piper check out the lower section of page two and page three of this thread. Sounds like something changed in the blend.

Rattray's Exotic Orange :: Pipe Tobacco Reviews

I was able to smoke a bowl of Exotic Orange last night(finishing it up right now). Wow! I have dabbled in aros a little bit and never found one that was something I would put into rotation. EO on the other hand is something else! Really nice blend! I'm going to have to grab a couple tins once...

I thought it was a label change purely for the E.U as you can’t label tobacco with food names ie orange and the Exotic Orange was for the U.S market

Yeah seems so. I reckon a few sites need to update their pages on this now if it’s the case.

Either way it’s a very nice tobacco and I love it in the afternoon with a slice of cake and a hot cup of tea.

I've noticed a change in Bagpiper's Dream as well. Doesn't seem as sweet as it used to be.

I haven’t tried Bagpipers so I can’t comment but I am going to get some Dark Fragrant as soon as I can track some down
