The historic "Three Castles" brand tobacco is back and better than ever.

This golden Virginia blend produces a flavorful yet extremely mild smoking experience, while remaining manageably moist for a considerably long period of time. These combined qualities make it the perfect tobacco for RYO. These qualities secure "Three Castles" spot as one of the (if not thee) finest tobaccos in the world. The new "Three Castles" tobacco comes in a wax paper wrapped cake inside of a green 25 gram(3/4 ounce) plastic pouch.
History of 3 Castles Brand Tobacco The original Three Castles was introduced in 1878 by W.D. & H.O. Wills, a British tobacco importer and cigarette manufacturer in Bristol, England. Originally a pipe tobacco, it's superb mild flavor (due to its' high moisture content) made Three Castles a huge success. In 1884 W.D. & H.O.Wills introduced Three Castles cigarettes to some mild resistance. It seemed many preferred hand-rolled cigarettes to those rolled by a machine. In 1892 Three Castles cigarettes became the first cigarettes to be sold in cardboard packets ( much like today's), previously cigarette packaging was made out of paper, which made them easy to crush. Shortly before WWI W.D. & H.O.Wills merged with several other British tobacco manufacturers and formed the Imperial tobacco company. Three Castles remained one of the most sought after tobaccos in the world until 1988 when Imperial with drew the brand.
