    GH&Co Brown Irish #4 Rope --- Love the New Package Method/Coil Size

    The Saracen was the old way that a tobacconist was advertised in the UK in the 17th and 18th century. The original Saracen was mounted on the wall outside the old factory and is a symbol well known through out Kendal. He has always been depicted on the twist packaging. The artwork on the GH...

    GH&Co Brown Irish #4 Rope --- Love the New Package Method/Coil Size

    Maybe the 'non reply' was because they were in bed!!! Your response was posted at 2am my time. Both Samuel Gawith Brown No4 and Gawith Hoggarth Brown Irish X are sold.

    Seeking UK Tobacco Recommendations

    Nothing going on! We don't have a Swiss distributor so not a case of anyone going out of stock, we just don't sell to there. The former Swiss distributor refused to pay invoices for product received and so there is ongoing debt collection. Distribution to Ireland, even northern Ireland is...

    TAD Acquisitions 2024

    Yes of course, labelling is only going to get more stringent, not less. But every country has their own regulations. Some countries are 40% coverage, some are 85% coverage with health warnings. Some have pictorial combined warnings, some are just text. Some have warnings on the front and back...

    TAD Acquisitions 2024

    Sorry I do not understand what you are wanting to know? We design and produce all our own labels inline with each country we sell to and the requirements for that country.

    TAD Acquisitions 2024

    The images are supplied by the government authorities for each country. Everything is strictly stipulated from the percentage of the front face it must cover, to the font and size of the text, the language for each face, how thick the border is around the warning, how often images rotate etc.

    TAD Acquisitions 2024

    Every country has different labelling requirements, even within Europe so we have to do labels specifically for each country. And then regulations change or the labels have to rotate.

    Opened a Jar of 2019 Dark Bird's Eye

    Again! Kendal Kentucky was discontinued a few years back. the USA distributor bought our remaining supply so maybe still has old stock. But it had essentially due to leaf changes and availability morphed into Kendal Dark. DBE no longer had the birds eye stalk bits in it so we opted to stop...

    Discontinued quite a while ago now.

    RB plug

    Given Revor is ONLY sold in the UK I think that is pretty safe.

    RB plug

    We notify our customers of blends that are being discontinued. Our customers are our distributors for export and retail shops for the UK. How they pass that information onto their retailers and how retailers pass that information on to consumers is outside our control. Discontinuing a blend is...

    RB plug

    Blends are usually discontinued because they do not sell in large enough quantities. Nothing to do with trying to produce more for one country over another. Leaf supply is leaf supply - looked at as a whole on orders for the whole world. Leaf supply depends on factors such as wars in countries...

    GH Rum Flake

    Blends are usually discontinued because they do not sell in big enough quantities to make it worthwhile producing them. Or on the odd occasion when a certain leaf variety can no longer be sourced.

    Is Gawith Dark Plug Flavored?

    Cabbies has always been Cabbies Roll Cut Mixture to give it, its full name - it is exactly the same in the tins as in the bags. Just due to artwork layout on tins versus bags its termed slightly different - says Roll Cut underneath Callies Mixture on the tins. We are re-designing some of the...

    Chewable Plugs?

    Twists were originally 'chewing tobacco'. We have only fairy recently had to change this description due to regulations of what is and isn't allowed. We used to sell a lot of twist to minors to chew when they were down the mines and could not smoke and it kept the dust out of their mouths.

    Is Gawith Dark Plug Flavored?

    As already stated the more recent Dark Birds Eye is Kendal Dark. It is the same product labelled differently. Absolutely no difference in the product. This just shows how subjective tobacco is and how people's perceptions can be based on different things.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***

    Palace Gate was discontinued quite a while ago.

    Rouseco Buoy Gold

    It is also a completely different cut - much much thinner ribbons. In the USA there is little difference between what is sold as RYO and what is pipe tobacco.
