Samuel Gawith Grousemoor

Grousemoor is one of Samuel Gawith's aromatics tied to the Lakeland tradition. Its base is flame-cured light Virginia leaf; the leaf is first steamed and cut, then stoved and flavored by the producer with an essence blend. Its name comes from grouse hunting practiced on English moors. The cut is ribbon form and the tin carries a pronounced perfume scent. On the smoke, Virginia's sweetness proceeds together with a floral, lightly soapy Lakeland essence; the flavor level is high and tends to linger in the pipe, so it is usually reserved for a pipe set aside for this style. Nicotine and flavor intensity are medium.
