Located in the North of England is James Barber Tobacconists, a business that was founded in 1867 and is going on its fifth generation. The business was founded by the present owners great Grandfather, Joseph. Joseph crossed the Atlantic over thirty times to visit his plantation in Kentucky. Joseph manufactured twist pipe tobacco at his factory in Otley and the retail shop still stands on the same street today. James Barber owns the business himself and has been in the business since 1980. In 1994, James was elected as the youngest ever Chairman of the Association of Independent Tobacco Specialists, which is the United Kingdoms national tobacco governing body. Walking inside their spacious humidor, connoisseurs will find many of their favourite brands in stock including such hard to find cigars as Montecristo A, Bolivar Belicoso Finos, Partagas Lusitanias, Hoyo de Monterrey Double Coronas, Sancho Panza Sanchos, Saint Luis Rey Serie A, and Punch Punch, among others. James has had the opportunity to travel to, both, the Dominican Republic and Cuba and is one of the largest retailers of pipes and handmade cigars outside London.
