Item Description
English Rose Snuff manufactured by Gawith Hoggarth, a fine to medium grind and slightly moist. Scented surprisingly with English Rose!
English Rose snuff is supplied to the House of Commons, a short extract as taken from their leaflet explaining the customs of the House is below.
* Another curious survival of the eighteenth century is the provision of snuff, in recent years at public expense, for Members and Officers of the House, at the doorkeepers' box at the entrance to the Chamber. Very few Members take snuff nowadays. Snuff, however, is the only form of tobacco to be tolerated in or around the Chamber: smoking has been banned there and in committees since 1693. *
So there you have it, if you're after a traditional snuff, you can't get anymore traditional than English Rose.
"Order... Order... Order!"
