Fred Jaune 80g

Not appropriate for Roll Your Own tobaccos as it varies very much based on how you roll your cigarettes (paper size and presence of filter)

The tobaccos we have elected for Fred Original Blend are quite distinctive and contain more nicotine than those present in the Special Blend variant.

Until recently, we were struggling deciding how Fred Original should taste. It had to fit in Fred taste direction but also provide a distinctive character that roll your own smokers are looking for. It would be indeed too easy to copy what we have done for cigarettes. We are now pretty confident that we found the proper recipe: like all Fred family members, its taste is very balanced but unique Oriental tobaccos add spicy notes which will develop behind your cheeks; it is subtle but unique to Fred Original.  Virginia from the US is also more present to add sweetness to the blend.

Fred Original is quite complexe and targeted at the connoisseur able to perceive the different taste layers it offers. Enjoy!

Packed in new metal tins with 5 rotating designs

• these tins are fully recyclable but you can of course let your imagination speak to imagine how you would like to use them when empty : perfect for aromatic plants in your kitchen or to store your paper clips on your desk…. They look fu..ing cool ! Embossing, varnishing, cork closure…not many products – all categories combined – have put as much effort as we did to make you feel proud to belong to the Fred community 😉 
• We have decided at Fred to step by step get rid of plastic and carton for our packaging. This is not greenwashing as the roadmap we are following to improve sustainability of our packagings is very complex and costly; This product is the first step but expect much more in the near future….
• We have increased slightly our price as metal is unfortunately still more expensive than trees…  Still we are perfectly aware of your reaction when you will see the price tag…. but please,  check out the price per kg and you will realise that Fred 80g is still the best value for money. 
• Production is now “made in Lausanne” to offset the carbon footprint of the new packaging as well as to improve the quality control of the finished product. Just for the sake of transparency, our previous carton tins were coming from Turkey whereas the new metal tins are made in China. We could have produced for the same price (e.g 95cents per tin) in Europe but unfortunately with too much compromises on quality and singularity.
