    Trouble Contacting Synjeco

    Anything that was legally available to Synjeco is available to Laudisi. We are always looking to expand the range available in different countries, however flakes and plugs also take a long time to make and take up production time for anything else so can mean longer lead times.

    Trouble Contacting Synjeco

    You will not be able to buy any Gawith products from Synjeco unless very old stock or being purchased illegally from elsewhere as we no longer use Synjeco as a distributor. They owe us an awful lot of money so it is now going through legal processes. Revor Plug is only for sale in the UK. We...

    Brief GH Brown Flake Unscented Review

    News to us! Same factory, same machinery, same senior production staff and blenders for the last 30 odd years. Also those in the factory have and still all baffled by the "Lakeland Essence". This is not a concept we particularly came up with, it is something that sprung up from reviews etc. We...

    Brief GH Brown Flake Unscented Review

    No not changing blends. As with any hand made product there will be slight variations from batch to batch and of course from one leaf order to another.

    What Does Mold Smell Like?

    But it's "some" customers that prefer aged. It's also rather arrogant for those that age to have the belief that every consumer prefers aged tobacco and that they should be solely catered for.

    What Does Mold Smell Like?

    However, I would pretty much give the same reply if asked and have done. Exactly this.

    Where, oh Where, is the St. James Flake?

    Not at all, just a good excuse for civil servants to not go back to work properly!

    Where, oh Where, is the St. James Flake?

    St James' needs perique and there is a very limited supply of this. We are currently trying to deal with very pointless and bizarre regulations the UK government put in place for movement of raw leaf. Not helped by the fact most government departments are still working from home after covid and...

    Lakeland vs Aromatic

    Well we 'Gawith's' have no clue what Lakeland tobacco's mean in terms of flavouring. Presumably it is tobaccos made on the edge of the Lake District but then seems to have evolved into the 'Granny pants flavour'. The term Lakeland does not really refer to the region except in cases like Lakeland...

    What does the English "Smoke Free Target of 2030" Mean?

    I did not say the Smoke Free target will be met. That is highly unlikely given the timescales but through constantly putting up taxes and free vape clinics they bring the number of reported smokers down (but have no idea of elicit trade). It is not in question that the number of cigarette...

    What does the English "Smoke Free Target of 2030" Mean?

    The Smoke Free Target of 2030 for the UK is not mass media. It is in government papers and working directives for anti-smoking.

    What does the English "Smoke Free Target of 2030" Mean?

    Maybe but duty is paid on tobacco, not accessories.

    Pipe Shops In West England

    Yes school holidays should be avoided! Central Lakes and the main tourist spots tend to get very busy but there are plenty of places away from the more common destinations that remain relatively quiet and undiscovered. @jaingorenard I would be interested to see your photos. When were you here...

    Pipe Shops In West England

    Can't smoke inside anywhere in the UK. But can smoke outside (at the moment). Although most of the time you will then need an umbrella and a hat on! The Cotswolds is quaint but for really dramatic scenery you need to come to the Lake District or Highlands of Scotland.

    What does the English "Smoke Free Target of 2030" Mean?

    Well something happened to Sam Gawith many years ago!!! Not sure British American Tobacco is actually that British. Its headquarters are in London but it began as a partnership between Imperial (British) and American Tobacco Company as a way too not trade in each other's territories. So...

    What does the English "Smoke Free Target of 2030" Mean?

    Its more that any legislation or new regs they bring in (and there are constantly lots of them) effect ALL tobacco products. Pipe smoking is inconsequential to the government but they do not distinguish between that and cigarettes.
  17. gawithhoggarth

    What does the English "Smoke Free Target of 2030" Mean?

    Pretty much what others have already stated. Its part of an overall drive to stop smoking, aimed at cigarettes, but pipe smoking and other tobacco products will also be caught by any legislation. But its misleading to say smoke free by 2030. The aim (which will never be reached) is to get down...

    London Pipe Shops

    Yes lots of shops in London stock SG and GH stuff. There are the ones already mentioned and then several smaller convenience stores and small tobacconists.

    Ferrous Tins inside Mylar - A Quick Recipe For Disaster?

    Packing into tins is certainly a longer process. Some countries only take tins, others take a mixture.The UK market is much different in that many of the specialist tobacconist and convenience stores take bulk to the weigh out and sell in smaller amounts to their customers. Consumers in the UK...

    Ferrous Tins inside Mylar - A Quick Recipe For Disaster?

    And what about the people that like to buy the odd tin to smoke fairly soon after purchase, the shops that cannot or do not want to sell bulk and stock tins...this is only a problem for those that want to buy tins to cellar and long term store, it is not a problem for those that buy tins, smoke...
