Gawith Hoggarth snuff

Gawith Hoggarth snuff is made from the same high quality leaf thats used to make pipe tobacco and cigarettes. The tobacco leaf is first blended to give the desired colour, then broken up and fed into a disintegrating machine, which reduced it to a coarse powder. A further process is then required to grind up the powder to give the finished texture and moisture. After a period of storage, essential oils and medications are added to flavour the snuff and then it is left to mature and to allow the flavourings to penetrate throughout the blend. Snuff is used in industries where dust or chemicals in the air make smoking dangerous, as an alternative to a cigarette or pipe. In today's society where more and more places are becoming non-smoking, snuff can be used to give the same stimulating effect. Snuff taking is the cleanest way to take tobacco; theres no cigarette ends, no ash, and no pipe dottles to dispose of and no smoke to annoy other people. As well as being a more sociably accepted way of taking tobacco, snuff is excellent for clearing the sinuses and releiving the tension of head colds.

Wilsons of Sharrow snuff

Wilsons of Sharrow snuff are still in the happy position of being able to make snuff in the traditional way. It is made from carefully selected blends of choice tobaccos, often originating from Africa where the leaf is particularly suited. After a number of maturing processes the leaf is dried and ground, in the old days, by the power of the water wheel at Sharrow Mills, in oak mortars by iron pestles. Several stages of sieving follow to ensure the silky, even texture and, to recipes known only to two members of the Wilson family in each generation since 1737, natural oils such as Bergamotte, Attar of Roses, Jasmin and Sandalwood are added in precise measure to delight the nose. Finally the blended snuff is matured in wood to ensure permeation of the flavour and to allow the full development of the flavour and character.

It has been suggested by The Economist magazine that the ban on smoking tobacco indoors in some areas, such as Britain and New York City, may lead to resurgence in the popularity of snuff as an alternative to tobacco smoking. Although the large-scale closure of British mines in the 1980s deprived the nasal tobacco industry of its major market since snuff became unfashionable (miners took snuff underground instead of smoking to avoid lethal explosions and fires), sales at Britain's largest snuff retailer have reportedly been rising at about 5% per year.
