Robert Lewis, founded in
1787, is the longest established tobacco merchant in London and
one of the oldest in the world. Christopher Lewis, a Welshman,
originally started his retail tobacconist business at 14 Long
Acre in Covent Garden. Robert Lewis, a relative of Christopher
Lewis, later became the administrator of the firm. As the
buiness flourished, the firm moved several times and finally
located at 19 St. James's Street, where it is trading today. In
1997, Robert Lewis received a Royal Warrant of Appointment to
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
We are very proud to introduce the Robert
Lewis "Special Tobacco Blends". Until now, these fine tobaccos
were sold exclusively at the Robert Lewis shop on St. James's
Street. The wonderful mixtures are the finest available and are
expertly blended from only the very best tobaccos. We thank you
for looking, and if you have not tried Robert Lewis tobaccos,
try them now as we are confident that you will experience total
enjoyment as many have for over a century.
(Note: The label on the Robert Lewis tobaccos contains a drawing of St. James Palace - the home of Prince Charles which is 100 yards from the shop.)

 Lewis Orcilla Mixture |
(Code/Size/Retail) 8001...50g...31.00 Class Oriental |
A Classic Oriental Blend.
This incredible mixture made from the finest tobaccos
available has been a favorite of discerning smokers for
over a century. A nice combination of Orientals and
Virginia tobaccos(of several grades). The Orientals
provide good spiciness and the Virginias supply
additional body and aroma to this medium strength blend. |
 Lewis Wingfield Mixture |
(Code/Size/Retail) 8002...50g...31.00 Class Matured Virginia |
Wingfield Mixture.
In this mixture, fine Virginias have been carefully blended
with sun cured and dark leaf. This is a very cool smoke with
outstanding taste. This blend was named after Walter
Wingfield, the inventor of the original version of lawn
tennis and a long time customer of the Robert Lewis shop. |
 Lewis Tree Mixture |
(Code/Size/Retail) 8003...50g...31.00 Class English |
Tree Mixture. A very
fine Latakia mixture expertly blended to produce a blend
that is in a class of its own. Originally this was a
"private blend" supplied to a frequent customer - Colonel
Tree. A superior marriage of Latakia, Virginia, and Oriental
tobaccos-especially Latakia. Highly recommended. |
 Lewis 123 Mixture |
(Code/Size/Retail) 8004...50g...31.00 Class English With Cigar Leaf |
123 Mixture. This incredible
blend contains superfine Havana seed leaf. A delightful
mixture with the taste and aroma of a fine Cuban Cigar. This
full-bodied blend is one of the more distinguished of its
kind on the market. A nominal measure of Virginia and
Latakia tobaccos are added for character. |
