Samuel Gawith - Silky Dark
Samuel Gawith - Silky Dark
Samuel Gawith Silky Dark uses dark-fired Virginia tobacco, with earthy tobacco, leather, smoke and chocolate as the main tasting notes. The aroma is mineral and graphite-like, with hardwood smoke and wet earth, and cocoa, hazelnut and coffee sit underneath.
It is a moist snuff with a medium grind. Nicotine strength is strong.

Tin note smells very earthy and rich but also smooth and mellow. The grind, I would say is a medium, not too course or fine. Makes for easy pinching and an easy sniff. Very uniform and fluffy.
In the nose it is more of the same, rich and smooth. Nice burn and nice vitamin N. I have a very high tolerance and it is very satisfying so I’m going to say it’s strong with a sustained release.
This is an all day snuff, exceptional with a cup of tea or coffee. It doesn’t become overbearing or cloying.
Silky Dark is the perfect description for it.
Mr. Snuff is my go to shop for snuff! Great selection and awesome customer service! My orders have been fast and complete! Highly recommended!
Very interesting snuff! Everything is like in description with prevalence of leather and earthy notes. You feel like perfume of Tom Ford sitting in new car with leather seats. Highly recommend for non-menthol lovers.
I recall thinking the 1st time I tried the Arabica blend that it was great but might be greater without the coffee bean (I do love coffee). And here it is. Powerful, yet smooth, uncomplicated and indeed silky. There's nothing else like it that I'm aware. I do get "deep wood trails with a sweet crème brulée ending" but not a meadow. More like a cigar, or over-roasted coffee. It has a very deep, dark, earthy scent. The grind is medium, it's easy to take and has the most interesting ending not unlike SWS's Pontefract Priory (possibly my alltime fav), but more straightforward.
It has coarse structure that's ok for sniff and has good feeling on nose.
Scent's intence is moderate, which is good(doesn't annoying), not bothers through time. The smell is earthy, smoky, faint odor of wet trees almost as decaying wood in pleasant way. It calms down the mood and good in outdoors, and indoor, at home especially late evening.
Nicotine level is medium to strong, satisfying.
One of my favorite. If I will not see near time an alternative, than will purchase a bulk and it will be my regular snuff.
