We are pleased to announce that Dunhill Nightcap is back and available to purchase now from our online store in 50g tins. A slow long lasting smoke, this tobacco consists of Virginia, Latakia and perique giving a strong taste with a mild flavour.
In addition to the return of 7 Dunhill tobaccos to the market late last year it has been announced that Dunhill Nightcap will also be making a comeback in May 2011. We have pre ordered this and so as soon as it becomes available it will be added to our web site along with the other Dunhill tobaccos already stocked.
I am pleased to say that Peterson’s Special Reserve 2011 is now available to purchase online, this tobacco consists of Brown & Black Cavendish with red, orange and bright virginias and has a sweetish flavour, full description on the web site. Coming soon will be a 100g tin Peterson’s Summertime Blend 2011.
Peterson’s 2011 Anniversary 100g tin of tobacco will be available on UKtobacco very soon.
More details to follow shortly.
Some of our customers will very soon notice a difference in the cut of their pipe tobacco. As of the 1st January 2011 the government has increased the minimum cut for pipe tobacco from 1.2mm to 1.5mm. This means that all tobaccos that have a cut under 1.5mm will be classed as hand rolling tobacco and will incur duty at that rate. I would expect that the majority of our customers will see little or no change to their tobacco as only the following tobaccos will be most affected by this change: all our loose shag tobaccos and pre packs such as Clan and Borkum Riff.
A number of Manufacturers are increasing their prices of tobacco from the 1st July 2009. As a guide hand rolling tobacco will increase by 10p per 25g, pipe tobacco by 10p per 25g and small cigars by approx. 5p per pack of 10. Given our current stock levels I anticipate that these increases will take effect on our web site around the 15th July.
