Interesting enough, this company makes quite some claims on their homepage 6 Photo Snuff that propose they´d be widely available all around the world: Apart from delivering quality smokeless tobacoo products we aim to make Indian snuff popular all over the world… Six Photo Snuff has a strong market presence in India & abroad… Cheeta is the white Indian snuff with a dash of any perfume and has a great demand overseas I´ve never seen any of their products being offered by any online snuff retailer and the local indian stores have never heard of snuff from India (and with 500.000 people in my city, it´s not that small). So… where is this stuff? Has anyone seen evidence of its existence? (I don´t mean the 5 Photo Snuffs, of course, which were purchased by some members here)
Nope.
Ah, dziękuję Maciej!
Do you think so? Hmmm, I dunno. I clearly feel “abroad” has the meaning of being much further away, or specifically: across the ocean. Presenting the site in english wouldn´t make too much sense, as well. I could as well write them an e-mail, but I´ve just done that twice yesterday without getting a reply. Well, I´ll just wait if that made any sense, before I write them as well.
I think that makes sense -btw the language is called Hindi, the religion Hindu.
I love Indian snuffs, and a while back, when I found the ones I found at the Indian store locally, I scoured the internet, and found all the Indian snuff websites I could, and emailed them all politely requesting either samples or how to obtain them, and I never got a single reply or suprise package.
Got a very nice reply from Mr Grover who’s the CEO (?) of 5 Photo when I wrote him. I would love to see it go on sale here as well as Europe and the UK. Assuming that it’s already gone down well in Western China. I’m Uyghur on my Mum’s side of the family and assuming that my tastes aren’t terribly different than theirs. Lol!
Oh well, it´s getting more international by the minute! 
Mr. Grover also emailed me back. He was willing to send me a package will all of their snuffs. He asked that I wire him the funds. I’m a bit leary of that so I opted not to do so. One day they will be available in the US and other places. Look how quickly Dholakia expanded and now SUN is breaking into other markets. It is only a matter of time.
I may have missed emailing 6 Photo, I don’t recall them all. If I had been offered to wire the money, at the time, I might had done that.
Really? Tom, have I told you that I am a Nigerian Prince in exile? I have a lot of money that I need to put in your bank account so it will be safe from my enemies. I’ll be willing to cut you in for a share of course. 
what you too? damn, I though I was the only one
Hehe, a good portion of sillieness around here, very nice! I`m quite strict on that matter as well: they either send some free samples, or may just let it be. Even the biggest player, Pöschl sends out samples by request and they´d have any reason not to do so.
Well, Pöschl has the financial capital to do so. They were very generous to me when I first started snuff.
Dhrruv and Mr. Grover are the same person. I must have found him in a generous mood because he sent three cans of snuff gratis.I did post about them and sent him a more detailed impression which he is free to use as he sees fit. It seems that several of my emails went unanswered but I think his spam filter may have got in the way Now I didn’t ask for one of each, so there is a slight difference. There was a total of 100g - one can was 50 and the other two 25g ea.By any accounts this is a most generous sample. Having thus established his good will with me, I wouldn’t hesitate to pay for a can of everything he makes plus postage in advance. But I would prefer do it through paypal and indicate it was a gift with the charges for “postage and handling” Wire transfers are not in the everyday banking experience of most people and insisting on this form of payment is, imho, an unnecessary obstacle. A couple years ago I bought a parcel of four cartons of bidis from the factory in India. I don’t smoke them very often, but now and then I get a wild hair for one. The factory took paypal and everything went smoothly. But it could have just as easily turned to shit. I think that Dhrruv would like to get people talking about his snuff, but hasn’t found a cost-effective way to do it. I will say that his snuffs are very sophisticated and complex. They have good clearing qualities and are very well-balanced. One is just about the best jasmine you could hope for. Some Indian snuffs are over the top with scents, but his are not. Distributing free samples is very necessary to break into new markets. Presumably a third-generation snuff maker would have sufficient capital on hand to underwrite the effort. Cast your bread upon the waters and it will come back to you.
I don’t even want a free sample. If what you say about the jasmine is true, I just want a place to BUY it. I’ve never seen a decent jasmine snuff, and would love to.
Good point. There are at least a couple members here with the wherewithal to make it happen. It would be a better arrangement for everyone involved. To be fair Dholakia makes an excellent jasmine, but I it’s a one note snuff. This one builds upon the jasmine with other exotic scents. There is nothing on the can to indicate it’s a jasmine snuff, just says PAANCH PHOTO SNUFF - but my nose tells me jasmine is the dominant scent. Tom mailed me some snuff he found at a local India market. One was the Himalayan by 5 photo. It was a bit shop worn, but usable. The fresh product is way WAY better! The “Special Snuff” from this maker is hard for me to distinguish from the Himalayan, save that it seems to have a bit less menthol. Perhaps my schnoz is not so well tuned when it comes to complex scented types. My everyday taste is for plain tobacco goodness.
Making them available is of course by far more important, than to receive some samples. It´s quite useless if you like them and not being able to get any more afterwards. I´ve written them as well as Günter from snuffstore.de and I have hope, something will be made from that. As the retailers are all in common contact, it would be just a matter of time, until they would show up at nicrush/mrsnuff/mars as well.
Well, like Sun Snuffs did with Nicrush as their US Importer distro, so could MrSnuff do the same 6 Photo, or another.
Stitch’s description of fresh 5 Photo really has me going! The older tin I got from Tom was absolutely fantastic stuff. Just hoping the new ones still have the Himalaya picture on them. I’d love to have those graphics in poster size.
