Fred Tobacco is a return to basics, without compromise or excess. No hidden additives, no artificial flavors just the real, the raw, the pure. An experience for those who crave authenticity, who dare to step off the beaten path and rediscover the true essence of tobacco. At FRED, we don’t do things like everyone else. And that’s exactly the point.
The story of Fred Tobacco
Fred Tobacco was born out of a bold idea in 2009 : to reinvent the tobacco experience by breaking free from conventions. Founded by a visionary enthusiast, FRED set out to create a product that exudes authenticity and speaks to those who reject the ordinary. Every selected leaf, every blend, carries this mission: to restore tobacco’s original dignity, without artifice.
The story of Fred Tobacco is an ode to art and audacity, blending traditional craftsmanship with an uncompromising spirit. It’s a philosophy that transcends the product to become a statement.
Two products: Fred Pink and Fred Yellow
At FRED, every blend tells a story, and every product meets unique expectations. With two iconic options, Fred Pink and Fred Yellow, we’ve redefined what it means to enjoy exceptional tobacco.
Fred Pink, created in 2009, was designed to pair perfectly with cannabis. At a time when major corporations dismissed the idea of rolling tobacco, we took on the challenge. With a complex blend of 17 tobacco varieties, including "lemon and orange Virginia," Fred Pink offers a perfect balance of smoothness and character. This blend, made up of 60% Virginia, 30% Burley, and 10% Oriental, guarantees an unmatched taste experience.
Fred Yellow, a more recent addition, was crafted for those who prefer pure tobacco without mixing it with other plants. By refining the Fred Pink blend, we replaced Asian Virginia tobacco with Turkish Oriental tobaccos, delivering a subtle spicy note and a pleasant "tingle" on the palate. Perfect for recreational smokers, Fred Yellow stands out with its balanced flavor and preserved freshness.
Our tobaccos are sourced from a global mix: 40% Africa, 30% Latin America, 10% USA, 10% Turkey, and 10% Europe, showcasing our pursuit of excellence and diversity.
To top it off, every pouch features a humidity regulation system (69%) and is made from STONE PAPER, a photodegradable and compostable material. An ecological revolution that keeps your tobacco fresh while respecting the planet.
Between the bold intensity of Fred Pink and the refined subtlety of Fred Yellow, which one will awaken your senses?
