When I first launched AQuarterOf.co.uk back in 2002 I hadn`t even heard of Sweet Tobacco (or Spanish Gold sweet baccy as some people call it - that used to be packaged like real tobacco in little foil pouches). I don`t think that they sold Sweet Tobacco sweets at my local childhood sweetshop, "The Chocolate Box", back in the 1970s. Or maybe they did and I just completely missed it. They did have those cigarette sweets... you know, the candy sticks with the red tip on the end but I don`t rememember coconut tobacco at all! But soon after I launched A Quarter Of I started getting deluged by emails from customers telling me how delicious Spanish Gold Sweet Tobacco is... and that I absolutely must add it to our range of sweets. It took me about 3 years to hunt it down. It`s that rare. But when I did find it I soon learned why it was so incredibly popular (by far our most requested old-fashioned sweet). It`s the delicious combination of coconut strands dipped in chocolate powder that does it
