1792 Flake is a full-strength, mellow tobacco comprising a blend of dark-fired Tanzanian leaf. It is Gawith's best-selling premium grade flake. It starts as 7 lbs. of hand stripped leaf and goes through a steaming process prior to being pressed. The cake, having been prepared, is wrapped in a select leaf and packed by hand into a 12 inch square. This cake is pressed and left for a minimum of two hours. Then, the pressed cake is placed into a steam press where it is baked at full heat for two to three hours. The baked cake has then taken on 1792's characteristic rich, dark color. It's hardening occurs during cooling. Once the process of cutting the flake and adding a tonquin flavor is carried out, hand wrapping and packing finalizes 1792, making it ready for rubbing into your pipe.

Strong!!!
Ok, just 2 stars? well, if you want something stronger than anything you ever smoked this will be a 5 star for you but for me it left me dizzy with an upset stomach and deep blue haze around me. I am use to smoking some strong blends but on a scale to 1-10 this is a 9 with 10 being the highest. The only blends I have smoked that were stronger were some rope blends from Africa. This has a special place in by collection as a flake I can add to anything to light for me. I would try this if you haven't but don't gift it to anyone.
