Here at the Black Swan Shoppe we strive to offer a wide variety of products but quality always comes first. Snuff has a short shelf life so if a blend does not turnover quickly we de list it from our portfolio to guarantee the only snuff we sell is fresh and flavoursome. We are always keen to increase our range so if this blend is one of your favourites and you would buy it on a regular basis we would be delighted to re-stock it for you so please get in touch.
Fribourg & Treyer were one of the most renowned independent Snuff houses in the UK. From 1720 Fribourg and Treyer perfected their snuff blends behind the historic bow windowed shop in Haymarket, were their unique and original blends captivated the London crowds and international visitors.
Unfortunately in the 1980's a greedy Landlord increased the rent on the Haymarket shop front making the business unprofitable. Many Fribourg and Treyer snuff fanatics feared the worst and when Imperial Tobacco bought the recipes it seemed as if the coffin lid had been firmly nailed. However one of the most renowned snuff houses in the UK managed to buy the recipes from Imperial Tobacco so Fribourg and Treyer is now manufactured by Wilsons of Sharrow of Sheffield and looks like it is here to stay.
DR J R JUSTICE The Fribourg and Treyer Dr J R Justice blend is a dark, moist, full hearted snuff blend produced from a 50:50 blend of the Morlaix and Bordeaux, which was discovered by Dr James Robertson Justice who mixed the blends to suit his pallate who then introduced it to Fribourg and Treyer. It was a hit with the Londoners and Fribourg and Treyer put his name to the blend as a mark of appreciation.
