Anybody ever saw A+S from Switzerland ?

P

I just found about A+S snuff from Basel, Switzerland. Never heard of it before. It is produced and filled in Basel. Fine menthol snuff with a hint of roses.

New one to me, although it says only since 2013 on the tin, so I guess a lot don’t know it yet. Also a lot of snuff from Switzerland doesn’t seem to get known here. I think there are a number of small ones there. Good find!

A+S are the initials of the creators of this snuff: Cyril Andenmatten + Thomas Schaad.

Wonder if he is related to the Suchards family of Chocolate makers?

Hello @lunecat! No, I’m not related to that family.

@Thomas Can you please give us some more information on your snuffs?

T

@BarkingLeopard‌ Happily! Since we produce only one product yet, its quite a short story. The A+S is a snuff of a unique style. Its not as fine powdered as english snuffs and quite moist. Its a very strong menthol snuff, similar to Covent and it has a pleasant tobacco taste. It is produced almost completely by hand in a pharmacy in Basel, Switzerland. As far as I know, we ore the only swiss snuff manufacturers.

@Thomas That sounds very nice.

@BarkingLeopard‌ @Prismaster‌ I wrote a little bit more information in this thread.

I live in Switzerland and I’ve never seen that snuff on sale in a B&M shop here.

@Thomas, will you be able to send some to South Africa, can I order from you directly? I went on to your A+S website, but I can’t realy understand Swiss.

@Celsen It’s German not Swiss ;). Usually we deliver only B2B. You may help us to get in contact with your local dealer. It would make it easier for you, to get your A+S in the future. Write me a PM, maybe we could also make a one time only exception of our B2B policy.
