I've always read, including on their own website, that Samuel Gawith tobaccos are produced in Kendal, Great Britain. In fact, it is regularly hailed as one of the few remaining British made tobaccos. However, I just saw SG being listed as "one of our brands" on the Kohlase & Kopp website, which is the German company that also produces for Peterson's, Rattray's, Solani and Rainer Long Golden Flake.
See http://www.kohlhase-tobacco.com/. Did they outsource blending due to the supply problems? Is the SG on the German market blended in Germany and the rest in the US? Or does this just mean that Kohlhase & Kopp bought part of the SG company and everything is made where it has always has been?
EDIT: I sent an e-mail to the public address listed on the SG website to find out more.
