    Hi Tony, I’m sorry; we had to up the price of the post, again.  Since the USA pulled out of the world postal agreement, the price keeps going up every 6 months.

    Gosh, just had a flash back to not the first time I tried snuff, but back to 1995 when my then fiancé helped me stop smoking. Back then there were nowhere near the flavours and styles we have now.  I went for all the ones that sounded like cigarettes. Then I discovered Ozona snuff, I loved the fact it was oiled and so easy to take, but also the fruit flavours and the hit of menthol.  To this day I always tell beginners to try oiled snuffs first.  You have less sneezing, less burn, less tears and lots more pleasure.

    Welcome to our forum.

    Toque snuff tins have a screw thread and a sealed lids that keeps snuff fresh for a very long time.  Once you’ve finished one you can transfer others snuff into them.

    That is a fascinating condition.  Many years ago, I was a wine lecturer at Westminster College, and I remember having a conversation about olfactory stimulation as we age. In the world of wine we have to keep smelling everything to keep those scent memories fresh.  The fact that you can pick it up on the fruit and not in the snuff is very puzzling, and the only suggestion I have is to mention it to your Doctor.  Sorry not to be more helpful.

    No, they never have any issues with tax.  Only Canada, Australia and most of Europe.

    Ali, sorry I missed this.  I will see if I can catch it for you.  Those tubs are very popular so they won’t sit on the shelf for long.

    I think we have spoken on email but for the benefit of our Canadian customers, I will say it again.

    The golden rule is never, ever pay or negotiate with customs.  Once you do they will keep coming back.  Plus sometimes they get it so wrong, it is crazy.  Some customers never get hit, others say they get hit on average once in ten orders (back in the summer it was twice in ten).  We have had a few customers get hit twice in a row and a couple 3 times in a row.  It is just down to luck.

    If you want to use snuff to stop smoking and come from Canada it is tough getting snuff.  You have to either decide to give up cold turkey or accept that you are going to lose some orders over the next few years.  I wish we could do more but it is us against the stupid Canadian govt.

    Our own Cheese and Bacon.  I made it for a bespoke joke and that customer sent it to a number of friends who started asking me for it.  The joke is on me as it is one of our best sellers.

    Man on Man, Lol!  Glad to hear you are on the road to recovery.  I know Forest won’t be a patch on Bernard’s but it is a good snuff.  Can’t wait to read your opinion.

    ToqueUSA Whiskey & Honey is the top 10 leading high strength snuff in the world.  After that try Artisan Oriental Extra and JP, all contain Rustica.  Next are the Otto and Artisan ranges, these both use stemless flour; which is the next strongest base for snuff.  A lot of people know about these but there is also J&H Wilson M.E.D. No99 that also uses stemless.  If you use the search box at the top of the home page it will show you the ones to try.

    If it is any help this link https://smoke-free.ca/SUAP/2020/taxrates-oral.pdf is the only thing they have for smokeless tobacco tax. couldn’t find it on any Canadian Govt. sites.  Just scroll down to page 2.

    Most people go for stemless. I feel it is the highest quality and has a stronger nicotine hit.  However, we can do Toast, Stemless Menthol, Rappee, Coarse, Oriental, Rustica and our Plain.  These are mainly made up of Burly, with the exception of Rustica and Oriental.

    I think it is more likely to get through if it is a smaller order.  However I do think they just randomly catch the odd one or two. And they tend to be the bigger ones.

    A customer was asking about delivery times on another forum and I thought sharing this might be of interest.
    We can show 99.4% of US orders arrive in 10-15 days. Some are really quick, and arrive in 7-9 days, and so far only one, that I am aware of, has arrived in 6 days. The remaining 0.06% get stopped by customs and either destroyed or sent back. This is actually the best result outside the UK(99.9%).
    France comes third with 99.2% and Italy 97.6%.
    Our second largest market is Canada, and it is now in fifth place at 88.1% down nearly 4% since last year.
    I thought it might help if I shared all these years of data.

    In order to keep competitive we have matched our competition on post $12.99 on orders over $50 and undercut on price.  Hence the stopping of Free post.

    in reply to: Radical Price Change #23865

    Yes, big changes.  Firstly, the British prices are wrong and way too high.  We are working on those now.

    Secondly, in order to continue to undercut the competition we have had to price match the post and scrap all discounts.  The long and the short of it is for forum members we are about 5% cheaper than you would have been with the forum discount.  And for regular customers we are about 15% cheaper.

    Well yes, that would normally be the case.  But we now have a situation where a certain snuff company has been selling their snuff below the cost price.  I guess this is a mistake, but I’m not going to tell them.  I am going to tell my customers to buy as much as they can before they realise.

    It is hard to find any figures.  I get the impression they are low nicotine schmalzlers.

    in reply to: What are you using to carry you everyday snuff #23571
    Roderick

    I carry two, well sometimes three.  I have an amazing silver snuff box that was given to the sister of the maniac who tried to kill king George.  I have this one for sale on Toque for £2000, and I can’t help but feel I have underpriced it. I should take it to the Antiques Road show.  The other is a very simple wooden box with an incredibly tight sliding lid.  I love this little box as it can keep a snuff fresh for weeks.  The third tends to be the tin I am trying for the first time.

    Excellent advice.  I don’t know what is going on but I think Canadian customs are having a clamp down.

    It has gone from 2 % of orders to 10% of orders and in May I think it might have been close to 20%.  I haven’t worked it out yet.  Plus I think some Canadians just pay, if it is on the low side, and don’t tell us.

    We haven’t seen a figure as crazy as the one 12 years ago.  That was $900 for a $25 10 for 9 deal.  The best we have seen was recently, a customer paid $40 for a $150 order and the worst, that is supposed to be coming back to us, was $450 for a $30 order.
