    Post-2015 Samuel Gawith, Bob Gregory’s Story

    Hello dear Gimlet, interesting point. A British friend of me bought a tin of Samuel Gawith Navy Flake at the BPSC 2023 and it had the plastic wrapper around it. When he opened it there was no vacuum. If you have recently bought square Gawith & Hoggarth and/or Samuel Gawith tins without the...

    Tobacco Globalism

    You're welcome! Glad to be of service. Well, I think you are not willing to accept the facts and truth, but ok, I'll let you believe. Perhaps you were too headstrong to accept good advice from former Samuel Gawith management with many, many years of experience in the business? Ahh, the tins...

    Tobacco Globalism

    ...BS! 😆 But to be fair, I can't find on the Kopp site that they actually produce Samuel Gawith. Or I'm not searching well 😵

    Tobacco Globalism

    Your opening sentence is all-telling. You are not here to have a polite debate, but to convince everyone of your version of truth. 1. True 2. Bob Gregory is a true class act with years and years of experience in the tobacco business. As opposed to your biochemist/high street solicitor/property...

    Unsmoked Patent Era Dunhill with Original Box and Reamer from 1950

    By the way, the old Dunhill is sold. My friend put it on eBay and it was bought by some Chinese for the princely sum of $920 minus $157 costs and fees.... I thank you all for all your comments and information!

    Echte Friesche Heerenbaai is still sold here. Vier Heerenbaai is no longer made, although you can get a My Own Blend version of it.

    Unsmoked Patent Era Dunhill with Original Box and Reamer from 1950

    A miracle yes! There are so many Dunhill scams going on on Marktplaats. I really thought he would get a blanc box with a basket pipe inside. Luckily I was wrong! Van Werven yes, I have been there. But like many tobacconists he is growing old. No one will like to take over a tobaccoshop and then...

    Thanks for the picture! Indeed, how time goes irretrievable.. Nowadays there is hardly a good (pipe) tobacco shop left in The Netherlands..
