Samuel Gawith Skiff Mixture 50g/Tin

Product description

Skiff Mixture is one of Samuel Gawith’s finest Oriental-forward English blends, expertly composed of premium Virginia, Turkish (Oriental), and Cyprian Latakia tobaccos with no added flavorings. Compared with the brand’s Squadron Leader, Skiff places greater emphasis on the Oriental leaf while using Latakia more sparingly, resulting in a smoother, more refined, and highly nuanced smoking experience. It is widely regarded as one of the classic mild-to-medium English mixtures.

Presented in a traditional ribbon cut, Skiff Mixture burns coolly and evenly. The Virginias provide natural sweetness with notes of fresh hay, malt, and delicate citrus, while the Turkish tobaccos gradually reveal layers of spice, herbs, floral complexity, and slightly tangy woody notes that define the blend’s Oriental character. Cyprian Latakia contributes restrained campfire smoke, cedar, and leather, serving as a supportive background rather than dominating the mixture. As the bowl progresses, subtle hints of nuts, dried fruit, and a creamy texture emerge, creating a remarkably smooth and balanced smoke.
