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...24.00 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...24.00 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...24.00 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...24.00 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. |
