Commonwealth Mixture

Samuel Gawith

Samuel Gawith Commonwealth Mixture — Classic English Blend

A true icon among English tobaccos, Commonwealth Mixture has been crafted in Kendal, England, since the early 1800s. It’s a bold, full-strength ribbon blend with 50% steamed Virginia and 50% Cyprian Latakia—no added flavourings, delivering pure tobacco character.

Blend Profile

  • Composition: Half Virginia, half Latakia. Virginias are dark-steamed for rich sweetness; Latakia contributes oak‑smoke intensity.
  • Strength: Medium–full strength—substantial nicotine without harshness.
  • Cut: Ribbon; moist straight from the tin—beneficial to air-dry before packing.

Aroma & Room Note

  • Pre-light/deep burn: Hickory and cedar-like incense scent.
  • Room Presence: Smoky and rich—noticeable but not oppressive.
