Samuel Gawith Balkan Flake 50g/Tin

Product description

Balkan Flake is one of Samuel Gawith’s signature English-style flake tobaccos, expertly blended from premium Virginia and Latakia leaf using the company’s traditional pressed flake process. Despite its name, it is closer to a classic English mixture than a traditional Balkan blend, emphasizing the natural sweetness of Virginia alongside the rich smokiness of Latakia.

The slow pressing and aging process allows the Virginias to develop a smooth honey-like sweetness, while the Latakia contributes deep campfire smoke, wood, leather, and subtle spice notes. Upon lighting, the smoky character takes center stage before gradually giving way to the natural sweetness of the Virginias, creating a balanced, full-bodied smoke with excellent complexity. The cool, slow-burning nature of the flake makes it ideal for a relaxed and rewarding smoking session.
