Angelic Snuff Tobacco

Has anybody ever heard of this snuff? Know who manufactures it? It is available out of Hong Kong…that is all I know for now. Here’s a picture:

I’d buy it.

Can’t make anything out on the label, but I suspect that it might be a Portuguese made snuff. If so, this a real find. I’ve read that the real Amostrinho was the last of the old Portugal snuffs sold on the Chinese market.

Looks like “angel’s dust” to me. Same as my KarooStof (Karoo dust)

What is the connection between this snuff and Hong Kong?

That is interesting. I am going to Hong Kong the end of October and can do some research.

Nice find, Ive never seen that one before, where did you get the picture?

I don’t actually own it. It was sent by a client looking to buy some more. I like the Portuguese idea. If it is available in HK it may be that it was brought in from Macau…hence the Portuguese connection. I will try ot get a better picture.

Hey bigbuyer, if you see it in Hong Kong, you’ll grab some for your trade stash, right? :smiley:

Imagine it might be one of the last of the old-line Han snuffs. There are still a very few Han Chinese snuff-takers out there. Given that it’s available in HK, though, it might also be medicinal. I’ve asked around to the one or two Kowloon folk I know, and they never heard of it, and were in fact stunned to learn that people still took snuff at all.

Ah yes… “someone” WHO?

I am curious about this Angelic snuff :stuck_out_tongue: . Unfortunately, I can’t see the picture! :frowning:

This is a really old thread. The photo did not survive the transfer to the new Snuffhouse. Filek must have gotten some new information on this. If I recall, the package photo had no English on it.

Did you ever get to try any of this snuff yourself Xander?

@Mikemoose No, I don’t know anyone who has, either. I see I was thinking about something else. This one does indeed have an English label. Thanks, Filek.

Ah, it’s a Bernards product. The 2 keys give it away.

I assume Bernard doesn’t make this anymore…? If there is anyone who has tried this snuff, speak up! I’d love to hear about it. It sounds, “Heavenly” :stuck_out_tongue: . (Excuse the stupid pun)

It is the only one I can think of. Bernards has used keys on their packaging, check out the back of a Weis Blau Schmalzler. http://www.schmalzlerfranzl.de/userfiles/vorlage\_3/wappen-bernard\_001.jpg

My understanding is it is one of six snuffs produced for the Asian, specifically the Chinese, market. I can get it, but only in bulk, or in these large bottles by special order. However, I am not sure which one Angelic is since I received samples of said snuffs with number references only. If there is an interest I can make further inquiries. Dave

Go for it Dave, Also work on getting the items back in stock on your website. need to order a couple of bundles, lol. edm
