Gallaher & Co, Belfast had been manufacturing tobacco &  snuff from the mid 1850s. They produced a vast range but it seems very difficult to find much information about this company. I have managed to find a reference to this particular brand "Columbine" which was first produced in 1888 and it says that it is a "mingled straight cut". I have not come across this cut before. It has a few scratches but I quite like it. If anyone has info on this company, I would be grateful if they could share it.
