The Bernard online shop

Hi everyone, In a recent email to a Snuffhouse member Mr. Snuff indicated that they will no longer sell the Bernard line of snuffs. This is terrible news for us schmalzler lovers. Mr. Snuff did not indicate the reason for this discontinuation, but we can hope that Bernard, with its nearly 300 year history of snuff making, is not being shut down. Their website does not indicate anything along those lines; the most recent post under the News tab announces changes to labeling and a few snuff names. Their online store still appears to be active, but can only be viewed in German. Have any Snuffhouse members, especially in the USA, ever been able to order from their online store? I attempted to put in an order but I could not get very far due to the language barrier. I also cannot determine their shipping policy. Could any German speakers among us provide some insight? Best regards from the Sonoran Desert, Will

Figured out that you need to order over $40.63. Copy and paste into a translation app

Why not try to contact them? There is contact information on the main page, and it would be hard to believe no one there speaks English.

G’Day as it looks (and by my rusty german knowledge) that Bernard is willing to sell within Germany only. Jack

That kinda sucks !

Can you still order from snuffstore.de? Has anybody here used them? They have Bernard listed and appear to sell outside of Germany.

No,they don’t sell outside of Germany.
When you place an order and try to calculate the shipping cost,you will see…

That sucks big time. I contacted Mr. Snuff and they told me they have discontinued Bernards Alcohol Frei. I’ve only had two tap boxes. But this was a real good one I want to see again.

I really hope that Bernard is not shutting down. One of the best, if not the best, snuff manufacturers in the world. I have not had a chance to try the Alcohol Frei. If anyone is willing to part with some I have a fat sample of Toque custom double flavored Ambrosia for you…

Schmalzlers are literally my favourite. For me, Toque and WoS are nothing compared to Bernard.
I thought buying 30g of Fichtennadel was excessive, but in retrospect that was a darn good decision.
Hopefully other ways of getting Bernard’s could be discovered soon.

I think the USA is moving into a gray market period for certain snuffs. There is low demand for snuff here and the barriers to entry into the market get higher all the time. Toque has worked out American distribution with Silver Dollar and Toque USA, but as Roderick has pointed out, he is unusually ambitious. The only solution I see for the time being is to have a friend in Germany get the snuff and mail it to me–gray market.

Thanks @rs422! Did you mean DHL? Also, have you successfully ordered from this site? I am presently attempting to register, navigating the site in German and copying and pasting to Google translate.

Yes Doh. I have the phone translate. I have not ordered from them, but saw them recommended on Facebook @ willynelson

If you take a look at the shipping info,they say they don’t send tobacco products outside Germany… :-S

Hi, so sad. I’ve managed to give up almost all nicotine products with snuff… And it seems everyday the pool of available snuff types and flavours is shrinking… There must be a German member on here that would ship?

I have a good friend that his dad is from Germany. His dad was going to go visit family. I gave him a Bernard tap box to see if he could bring me some back. The tobacco store told him they only sell Bernard in another part of Germany than where he was. So he brought me 300 grams of Poschl schmalzler A back to the US. At least he brought me some schmalzler
