    Samuel Gawith Commonwealth

    Smoked in a meer and briar with no preference. It comes fairly dry from the bag inside the box and requires a minimum of drying time before loading. Despite its significant Latakia component, this is not a Lat bomb; furthermore, despite being labeled full strength, it leans more towards the mid-level compared to others. This one draws as much from its Virginia side as it does the Latakia. It possesses a lighter body, stronger underlying sweetness and burns easier than typical Lat bombs. It could also bite slightly more like a Virginia forward blend if huffed. Flavor profile draws equally from the Virginia and Latakia making for a nicely balanced smoke. Overall, an excellent selection for experienced Va/Lat smokers and suitable for those desiring to try the blend. Aficionados of full strength Latakia blends or those desiring complexity may find it lacking.

    Very smooth full English that is well behaved. No surprises here, quality leaf that delivers an exceptional smoke. Recommended for those who enjoy latakia heavy blends.
