    New Video Of Tin Equipment At Gawith

    The vacuum machine came from Samuel Gawith's and was used there before. Now used daily to vacuum seal all tins. The tamper heat seal machine is a year or two old.

    What a Samuel Gawith Tin Looks Like After 10 Years

    Thank you. What my brother has done with the company over the last few years is amazing. We are excited to take the company forward and explore new avenues and products. There are mostly certainly a lot of challenges but also lots to look forward to. @anotherbob not sure I have had better jobs...

    What a Samuel Gawith Tin Looks Like After 10 Years

    Personally 20 years ago I was a young lawyer and not really involved in the running of the company much and neither was my brother, was was pursuing an engineering degree and career. But no, I don't think either of us really considered we'd be expanding the company as we are.

    What a Samuel Gawith Tin Looks Like After 10 Years

    Oh definitely not unaware of it! And not going to explain again the temporary issue we had and why changes were made and where we are at now.

    What a Samuel Gawith Tin Looks Like After 10 Years

    Nope. Can't meet demand as it is, order book full for months....a tiny amount of resale makes no difference to us at all.

    What a Samuel Gawith Tin Looks Like After 10 Years

    We do vacuum seal, every single tin.....as I have stated many many times. Yes only the standard rectangular tins have the heat shrink tamper seal (security feature - not a sealing device) as the round tins are limited edition only.

    What a Samuel Gawith Tin Looks Like After 10 Years

    Actually the company owner (not a rep) is on here to constantly put right the "folklore" and other misrepresentations spread as well as answer queries. I have no idea where you apparently read the above as its complete nonsense. Not my words....you completely misconstruing what I have said. We...

    Grousemoor by Samuel Gawith

    Tins have never been made for long term storage and never will be. Packaging is made to try and ensure the tobacco reaches the end consumer in as top quality as possible and not to sit around on the shelf for ages or in a cellar.

    Grousemoor by Samuel Gawith

    No. My point was that adding more "sauce" does not make it stronger, just wetter. So we are not scrimping on sauce etc......No change to anything.

    Grousemoor by Samuel Gawith

    They haven't! I had long discussions with our senior production staff about this the other day. Nothing has changed. And in fact adding "more" would make no difference to the flavour, just make the tobacco more wet. It's about the actual ingredients in the 'sauce' not the amount added and this...

    Germain/Esoterica- No Warning Labels

    Nope. The SG tins we supply America have a smaller label on the rear only and say distributed by Laudisi. These must be old tins as we no longer use Kretek as a distributor and haven't for a while.

    Germain/Esoterica- No Warning Labels

    So having checked what we do (as we sell to numerous countries) we do not put nicotine warnings on tins for the USA. There is a warning label on the back of the tin only. This is a California health warning as required by that State and as our distributor asks us to put on. So there is nothing...

    Germain/Esoterica- No Warning Labels

    We are well aware of the exact warning and labelling requirements required for each country. This is something we work closely with with each distributor we work with for each country. America has different requirements to Europe. Each company also has their own requirements as to how labels...

    Germain/Esoterica- No Warning Labels

    Nothing has been dropped. If anything getting more stringent.
  16. gawithhoggarth

    Germain/Esoterica- No Warning Labels

    Old, health warnings have been in place for years and years. Every single tin produced and sent out has health warnings and has done for many years.

    Germain/Esoterica- No Warning Labels

    Every country has different requirements with regard to health warning and labels. Not all require pictorial warnings, not all have to say about nicotine. There are sometimes requirements for certain size and type of font, requirements for how much of package the label must cover and so on. This...

    Samuel Gawith In Europe?

    We have already returned to Europe and have been supplying several countries and orders go out regularly. Every country has a different taxation system and different tariffs on tobacco. We sell to individual countries for sale within that country so tins are legally and properly labelled for...

    Big news for EU: Cornell & Diehl

    It only left the other week and we do not control when and who the distributor sends it out to.
