I am sure that I forgot some. Just let me know which ones. -
You left out Fribourg & Treyer (UK) but I am not sure whether or not they have a website. They are also produced by Wilson's of Sharrow.

They are only produced by Wilsons & Co. (Sharrow), aren't they? -
Yes.
Wilsons bought them out a while ago.
I think that most snuff sniffers think of Fribourg & Treyer as higher quality and quite different than Wilsons -
And it also has this touch of history. I added a note to the Wilsons & Co. (Sharrow) link.
-
A few that you might wish to add: Arnold Andre, Bespoke, Dean Swift (available only in the US market), Hedges, Lotzbeck, Sternecker, and Swedish Match (which owns Dingler, among others). There are also a bunch of American-style snuff producers, if you're interested.
Thanks for mentioning Dallmayr, that was a new one to me!
Andy -
Thanks Andy!
I missed some of those, right. I will add them after checking them for websites. Lotzbeck does not exist anymore but its snuff is produced by another company, as far as I know.
Thanks for mentioning Dallmayr, that was a new one to me!
I am not sure if it is not produced by Poeschl. I requested more information by Dallmayr on this. -
I got an answer from Arnold André. Very quick by the way. This answer explained the constellation of Swedish Match, Imperial Tobacco and Arnold André. See update of first comment.
-
This is getting too complicated for my poor brain. It's hard to keep track of who makes what, and for whom. Isn't Imperial Tobacco part of British American Tobacco, formerly Brown and Williamson, which was bought a couple of years ago by R. J. Reynolds? Sheesh.
Thanks for tracking that down; I'm learning a lot here!
Andy -
I will do my very best and it will develop over time. As long as the producers are willing to tell with whom they stick together, it is relatively easy. Some just do not use e-mail, even if they say so on their websites.
-
J&W von Eicken are the producers of Lotzbeck and Chapman brands.
http://www.von-eicken.com/ -
Thanks, added.
-
The von Eicken site doesn't mention any snuffs, though-- a pity, as I'd never heard of Chapman and wanted to learn more about it.
A. -
I've written an mail about that 'problem' to J.W. von Eicken but I haven't recived an answer yet. Chapman brand is only sell in Poland. I've shearched the internet for some informations about that brand with no results. In Poland we thing that Chapman is a eastern version of Lotzbeck becouse it has the same taste.
There are four Chapman's: Menthol,Strong,Vanilla, Virginia. You can see them on this webstore:

This may be right. I am looking forward to an answer to your e-mail. Maybe Chapman is an own brand or just a regional version.
-
I think that Poland is a tester for that brand, but it's strange that Chapman isn't in Germany.
-
This is very interesting. Does that web retailer sell worldwide, or only in Poland? I'll have to get some for my collection somehow.
Filek, have you had the "Strong" and the "Virginia?" If so, could you describe them? I'm quite intrigued.
Andy -
All Chapmans are made from virginia tobacco soo 'Virginia' has got a sweet taste of that tobacco. 'Strong' as the name says is a stronger version of 'Virginia' without that sweet taste. Oh my pure English :/
-
Thank you! (And your English is just fine.) Could you tell me if that webshop ships outside Poland please?
Thanks,
Andy -
Sorry but only in Poland. Maybe I could help. I'll buy you those snuffs and ship them to you ;) But first I should chek how much will it cost me.
-
I will gladly trade you any kind of snuff you like for the Chapman's. I'll double the weight. You're welcome to contact me at andrew "at" snufftalk "dot" org, and we can work out the details. Alternatively, if you have a PayPal account, I would glady pay you for the snuff and for your time. Or I could just mail you a big lump of gold. :-)
Thanks,
Andy -
Gosh, I'm glad the notification thing was switched on!
-
About von Eicken. I've found a small fragment on there webside: "While in former times only smoking tobacco and snuff were produced, today the company is active in all sectors of the tobacco industry as well as in the field of industrial and manufactured goods (except for chewing tobacco)."
So they are producing snuff ;) -
So they are producing snuff ;)
You mean they are producing snuff industrial style? -
Yes. Besides it's a big company.
-
Added to Indian producer links: Perumal Snuff Company and Sree Radha & Co.
-
How about listing G.smith & Sons as a separate producer?
They use same tins as Wilsons Of Sharrow, and I am not sure if WoS produce their snuff or not..
even so, G.S&S still have their own recipes which often date back to late XIX century... :) -
I'm pretty sure Smith still makes their own.
-
How about listing G.smith & Sons as a separate producer?
Sure, added it. Thanks!
