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.)
