For over two centuries, Samuel Gawith has been producing pipe tobaccos in Kendal using methods that have become part of British tobacco history. Full Virginia Mixture continues that tradition with a straightforward approach: quality Virginia leaf, expertly prepared and presented in an easy-smoking ribbon cut.
Blended entirely from carefully selected Virginias, this mixture delivers the flavours that have made the leaf so highly regarded. Fresh hay, sweet cereal, warm bread and gentle citrus arrive from the first light, gradually deepening into notes of toasted malt, honey and light caramel as the bowl progresses. There are no added flavourings competing for attention, leaving the natural character of the tobacco to develop at its own pace.
Unlike Full Virginia Flake, this ribbon-cut version requires very little preparation. It packs easily, lights readily and rewards a slow cadence with a cool, satisfying smoke that reveals new layers throughout the bowl. It's an excellent choice for those who appreciate the subtle complexity that only well-matured Virginia tobacco can provide.
Samuel Gawith has been manufacturing tobacco in Kendal since 1792, using many of the same presses, steam-heating techniques and traditional machinery that have served the company for generations. Their Virginia blends remain among the finest examples of classic British pipe tobacco, valued by smokers across the world for their consistency, depth and honest presentation of the leaf.
For those who enjoy pure Virginia tobacco, Full Virginia Mixture remains one of the benchmark loose blends to keep on the shelf.
