Samuel Gawith - Hansom Flake

[madox07]

Has anybody had this? What is it? I think it's a new blend ... I saw the pic in another forum, and I captured it with my phone screenshot function. I wasn't able to find a review on tobaccoreviews.com, heck it's not even listed there. So I thought to ask y'all knowledgeable people.

Maybe it is just some of the FVF that picked up the lakeland essence after the merger... repackaged.

It’s a topped (scented?) VaPer, I believe. It’s not new, but is a Pipes & Cigars exclusive blend. I think it has a Lakeland and/or tonquin bean essences. Never smoked it.

There was a release earlier in the year. Reviews were mixed and a lot were shipped with popped tins. I have not smoked any in a while. If I recall, the initial conversation was about the distinct chocolate tin note. The aroma did not translate to the flavor. After a few weeks of storage, the smoke itself, was a rather pleasant VaPer with (maybe) the slightest bit of Lakeland. I believe this will probably age well.

I enjoyed it. Lakeland is faint. Strong in nic.

Has anyone managed to get their hands on a tin already? Seems to be a VaPer flake, with "a special lakeland essence" but that could be anything. If anyone out there has had it please let us know what you suspect the topping could be. :sher:

Never tried it.

I hadn't heard of it either, but when my buddy did a panic buy of D&R blends from P&C he threw 5 tins of it into his order, so I shall have some shortly.

I got one tin that according to tracking will be here tommrow. I’m intrigued by the idea I like vapers and I like Lakeland’s.

Not sure what the heck it was like before the tinning fiasco earlier in the year when the first batch came out (February as I recall), but I have gone through tins from the February release and I haven’t found even a hint of Lakeland, tonquin, chocolate or anything else. I really don’t think that is what the blend was intended to be, but by the time it got tinned, the topping had dissipated. This was true even of tins that made a nice whoosh on opening. Even the popped tins I got weighed 50g, which tells me the tobacco was dried out on packing.

Maybe this release will be more in line with the ad copy than the first release, but I wouldn’t count on it.
