Founded in the 18th century, Wilsons of Sharrow didn’t just arrive on the tobacco scene — they wafted in with elegance. Operating from the historic Sharrow Mills since 1737, the company has been grinding, blending, and perfecting snuff tobacco longer than most empires have lasted. While the world charged ahead with cigarettes and cigars, Wilsons stayed true to their roots, preserving the fine art of snuff-making with Victorian machinery that still hums to life daily.
Generation after generation, the Wilson family passed down not just a business, but a craft — one that blends tobacco with scents like sandalwood, rose, and menthol in ways that are practically poetry for the nose. Visitors say the mill smells like time travel, and they’re not wrong.
Today, Wilsons of Sharrow remains one of the last bastions of traditional snuff production, exporting tiny tins of heritage to connoisseurs across the globe. Amid modern marketing madness and fast-paced fads, Wilsons continues to do what they’ve always done: take their time and take pride in it.
