In the illustrious year of 1863, Frederick Charatan established a boutique in bustling London, catering to the tastes of discerning tobacco enthusiasts. Located near the iconic Tower of London, decades before the conception of Tower Bridge, Charatan’s legacy began—a testament to tradition, flavor, and captivating smoke.

For 160 years, the name Charatan has epitomized British passion for fine tobacco, encompassing premium hand-rolled cigars, pipe tobacco, and meticulously crafted pipes.

As deeply ingrained in the fabric of the United Kingdom as London’s Underground or the English Football Association, both also founded in 1863, we recognize and honor the remarkable heritage of Charatan. It is with great pride that we present the Charatan 160th Anniversary Special Edition, inviting you to join us in commemorating the extraordinary journey of an immigrant family name, now an integral part of British culture.

About Charatan Tobacco

In 1863 Frederick Charatan, opened a shop in Mansell Street, London where he began to carve Meerschaum pipes. These got very popular very quickly and Charatan moved to a bigger workshop in Prescot Street. Here he began to make the briar pipes that made the name Charatan world famous. On the retirement of his father in 1910 Reuben Charatan took over the family business & the business was wholly owned by the Charatan family until 1960.

 British American Tobacco (Dunhill Tobacco of London) resurrected the Charatan brand in the 1990’s by introducing a range of popular cigars for the UK market.

 Fast forward 20 or so years and Tor Imports Ltd made a successful approach to purchase the Charatan brand from Dunhill Tobacco of London in 2017 and started work immediately on developing a wide range of quality pipe tobaccos blends that could pay homage to the Charatan name.
