Origin & Heritage:
-
Produced by Samuel Gawith, one of the oldest and most respected tobacco manufacturers in the world, established in 1792 in Kendal, Cumbria, England.
-
The company traces its roots to Thomas Harrison, a snuff manufacturer who moved his trade and equipment from Scotland to Kendal in 1792. Samuel Gawith, Harrison’s son-in-law, inherited the business and began crafting premium tobacco, laying the foundation for a legacy that continues today.
-
Samuel’s two sons carried on the tradition, with one continuing the Samuel Gawith brand and the other partnering with Henry Hoggarth to establish Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Both brands remain closely linked and share the same manufacturing facility in England’s Lake District, using time-honored techniques dating back to their 1792 origins.
-
Samuel Gawith adheres to the strict purity laws of the 19th and 20th centuries, ensuring high-quality leaf and minimal flavorings for an authentic and unadulterated smoking experience.
