Samuel Gawith St. James Flake 250g/Box

Product description

St. James Flake is one of Samuel Gawith’s finest Virginia/Perique (VaPer) blends, crafted from premium Bright Virginia tobaccos and genuine Perique from St. James Parish, Louisiana. Produced using the company’s traditional hot-pressed flake process, it contains no added flavorings and showcases the natural character of carefully matured leaf. The 250g box contains the same celebrated blend as the 50g tin, making it an outstanding choice for regular enjoyment and long-term cellaring.

The slow pressing and aging process allows the Virginias to develop exceptional natural sweetness and depth. Upon lighting, the blend opens with notes of fresh hay, malt, toasted bread, and honey-like sweetness. As the bowl progresses, the Perique reveals layers of black pepper, dried plum, fig, raisins, and subtle fermented fruit, beautifully complementing the Virginias. Rich caramelized sugars, dark fruit, and gentle woody nuances continue to develop throughout the smoke, producing a smooth, complex, and rewarding VaPer experience.
