Located in Kendal, in the South Lakeland area of the North West of England we have been manufacturing snuff and pipe tobacco since 1792. We still continue to use the same traditional methods and, indeed, some of the original machinery that was second hand when the company started!
We at Samuel Gawith's grind and manufacture snuff (also known as nasal snuff) from the raw materials of tobacco leaf and stalk, using age old methods and machinery (some of which dates back to circa 1740).
We produce a variety of snuffs, from the very light and fine (such as Irish "D" Light) to dark, coarse and moist (such as our world renowned Kendal Brown, or K.B.), perfumed, or mentholated, or plain old "tobacco-ey", enough to suit most tastes!
