Description
Samuel Gawith Squadron Leader Tobacco is a blend of bright and dark Virginias with Latakia and Turkish leaf for a cool, medium-bodied smoke. This creates a light, almost airy English, with subtle tobacco flavours. The Latakia does not dominate the blend yet it is certainly noticeable. Meanwhile, some mild Virginia sweetness tickles your palate, yet it is not cloying. There is also a nice amount of Oriental spice. Overall, Squadron leader is a delicately blended mixture of high-quality tobaccos that every pipe enthusiast should try. 50g Tin.
This tin of Squadron Leader is part of our private stock program, and has "June 06" written on the bottom. Note: this tin is not plain packaged; it predates the new regulations for pipe tobacco that came into effect in 2020.
About Private Stock Pipe Tobacco
From time to time, Victory Pipes is offered the chance to sell unique pipe tobacco tins. Some of the pipe tobaccos on offer are no longer in production, making them highly sought-after. Inventory is extremely limited and many tins we obtain are singles. If there is a blend you’ve been seeking we recommend you act quickly as it is doubtful we will see the blend in inventory again.
Victory Pipes cannot guarantee the condition of the contents of any of these older tins. Seals on pipe tobacco tins may wear out over time or come undone, causing the contents to dry out. Adding moisture to the tobacco will re-hydrate the contents; this can be achieved using a humidifier with distilled water, or even a dampened paper towel placed over a bowl of the tobacco. There are no refunds for consigned tins.
