    Big news for EU: Cornell & Diehl

    Its not that easy to just find a distributor, they need to be able to bond the tobacco, deal with all the import paperwork and tobacco registrations, have a good understanding of what the packaging and health warning regulations are for their country etc and have a good network of shops and...

    A voice of reason in the never ending hype to cellar as much as possible........

    Historic tobacco blends?

    When GH moved from Lowther Street to the current premises some of the machinery moved, but some of it is still in the old factory. When SG was bought by GH again some machinery moved, but the old mill machinery was I believe sold to a collector or museum in Holland but nobody seems to know much...

    Historic tobacco blends?

    True but then the dates are a bit misleading as in 1792 it was technically Harrison & Brocklebank and there was no [Samuel] Gawith involved until around 1841 when he married into the family. Then it became Brocklebank and Gawith and it was not until a few years later it became Samuel Gawith's...

    Historic tobacco blends?

    Samuel Gawith is no longer an independent company and is just a brand of Gawith Hoggarth so not sure it can be included in the list.

    Tobaccos only available in UK?

    Brown Sugar made for Sutliff, originally done for the DanishPipeShop. IF SG did use to make these under agreement with a particular tobacconist........ and they are not just blends made by the tobacconist and sold under our 'banner'. The problem is we don't know what is in these blends. We get...

    Tobaccos only available in UK?

    These may have been made especially for Synjeco before we took over Samuel Gawith and maybe continued for a short while afterwards but we do not currently do (with maybe one exception) specialist blends for tobacconists as we simply do not have the capacity to do this and it is not cost...

    Tobaccos only available in UK?

    I am well aware of what Synjeco list as they are a customer of ours. We do not make a Holker twist specifically for a tobacconist. It may have been made in the past under some former agreement with old management but is not made any more.

    Tobaccos only available in UK?

    We do not produce a twist called Holker. I am aware there are various tobaccos and blends being sold under our 'name' and in our packaging but these are not being made by us under this as advertised. It might be these are our tobaccos being renamed or altered and then sold in our packaging...

    New Video Of Tin Equipment At Gawith

    But tins were never made for collecting. This is just some new trend that has come about in recent years. Tins were used so people could easily carry around their tobacco and slip the tin into their pocket or whatever and it stayed relatively fresh from production to smoking. And tobacco was...

    New Video Of Tin Equipment At Gawith

    Absolutely. Used to be one blend that had cocaine in it.....not allowed to do that anyone LOL. Now with all the health and safety and as pretty much everything that is added has to be food grade safe, I suggest it's far less dangerous in terms of additives and chemicals than it used to be. But...

    New Video Of Tin Equipment At Gawith

    We are a tobacco manufacturer not a tin manufacturer (although we did look at the latter but costs were prohibitive). C&D are round tins. Everyone knows that round tins are much easier to get a better seal on due to the design. They are also much more expensive to produce, more difficult to...

    New Video Of Tin Equipment At Gawith

    Sure if don't mind it going moldy or the opposite and being completely dried out by time it reaches you ;) Solution would be to buy directly and local and smoke straight away (or grow your own and make) - similar with say bread and not adding preservatives and many other food products.
