Today I tried a bowl or two of Samuel Gawith's Kendal Cream, pre- & post-work with different results. Early in the morning I smoked it in my JSG Stubby Poker with a Waist pipe without letting the tobacco dry out so it was another "re-lighting" session. The tobacco has a floral, bread & honey scent in the tin. It is a mild smoke with a light taste of the similar "cooked sweet meat" of the Kendal Twist tobacco that I had yesterday. I ejoyed this flavor even with the many re-lights. I don't think that a windy morning helped. At the end of the work day I gave it another shot but this time I rubbed the tobacco and then let it sit for two hours to dry out. A loosely packed and smoked bowl of Kendal Cream in my restored Savinelli Oscar 127 from Ric Farrah at Briarville Pipe Restoration and Repair produced better results. The "cooked sweet meat" flavor was more prevalent. It was an enjoyable smoke that ended much sooner than I wanted! So far I'm really enjoying the different types of Samuel Gawith tobacco.
