Welcome to James Barber Tobacconists
James Barber's Tobacconists was founded in 1867 by the owners Great Grandfather, Joseph.
Joseph had plantations and tobacco stemming factories in Kentucky USA.
The tobacco was shipped to Liverpool in the UK and then transported by train to Otley where it was manufactured into twist. The business was taken over by his son Fred Barber and then passed on to his son Jack. James took over from his father Jack in 1980. James has since travelled to Cuba, Dominican Republic, China and all over Europe visiting tobacco plantations, Cigar factories and pipe factories. Today, James specialises in Alfred Dunhill pipes and carries one of the largest selections of Dunhill Pipes in the world. James visits the Dunhill factory in London on a regular basis where he personally selects the Dunhill pipes.

What Our Customers Say
Dear Mr Barber i received my order today! And i have been fortunate enough to smoke some of the world's finest tobaccos! But there's non finer than J.N. Barber's the quality and the service should make you very very proud! After some 30 year's of smoking French, Dutch, American and English tobaccos you're tobaccos are truly the best in World! I've received tobaccos from other vendors from all over the world that have never ever come up to par! Most are tasteless, dry, and of poor quality! But without a doubt the Barber tops them all twice over!! I hope you can add my compliments to your site! As tobaccos like you're doing haven't been seen in Australia in 30 year's!! I will be a lifetime buyer from your fine establishment! Mr Barber thankyou again and it was a pleasure doing business with you and your company.
As a newcomer to your delightful web service, I just wanted to express my sincere thanks for the remarkably swift and efficient service you provide, and having read other customer's reviews, I see I'm by no means the first and I'm sure not the last to praise your service. The two churchwarden pipes I ordered only two days ago were waiting for me when I got home this evening. I'm delighted.
I wanted to let you know what a pleasure it has been to shop online with your company. My e-mail requests were answered promptly and my order arrived right on schedule. I wish all online shopping was this easy!

I have ordered from many American suppliers before but no one has ever given me the kind of personalized attention and service that James and his people have given me. I can unequivocally endorse them as being first rate.
