Fred Rose 80g

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

The tobaccos we have selected for Fred Special Blend contain less nicotine than those present in the Original Blend variant.

We have developed this product in close cooperation with cannabis experts, seeking a tobacco which would let the full aroma of weed expand. We have then selected special Virginia style tobaccos from South Korea to complement our traditional blend and reduce its sugar content. Selecting the proper Burley was also a chalenge as it gives the “body” of the taste: usually big companies do not care too much about it as it is there to absorb the casing and flavoring agents; we have found in Uruguay the perfect variety adding  distinctive “nutty” notes without harshness. 

Fred Special Blend is the perfect tobacco for smokers looking for a balanced and compelling taste. 

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.
