A friend of mine is going to Switzerland next month. If by then we did not find this snuff, I will ask him to look out for it and buy some.
I received a mail from Villigers which directed me to a local company who imports from them. I’ve spoken to a gentleman at this company but, as I suspected, they do not know about Braniff yet. I’ve now forwarded the Villigers mail to them, asking whether they can get samples for me. Their business is only 30km away from where I live. So, if need be, I will go and visit them. Might take a bit of time but…Braniff I will get!!
hello, @pieter, ridiculously these snuffs aren’t available in switzerland.
Well, I received a prompt reply form the National Sales Manager of the SA company. He promised to enquire about the Braniff and to keep me informed. Maybe another NTSU stunt for South Africa?!!!
I´m working as executive in tobacco wholesales, so, I´m ordering -for my company- directly from Villiger. Unfortunately, they´ve sent another mail today with a statement about wrong EAN codes they´d sent with the first product sheet, but more important: they postponed the release to the end of July. They seem to have a lot of misfortune atm. From the 13 different products I´d ordered, only 6 arrived today. I hope, the snuff is released before my vacation in August.
I´ve had the chance to try all 4 of them today. The bad news is, the release is yet again delayed until the end of August now… Well, the tobacco free snuffs were really very nice surprises, as I didn´t expect anything at all. They are very pleasant and by far better than any tobacco free snuffs I´ve ever tried, well, except the Molens one, which is really very good, too. They are easy to take, not overdone in menthol and very refreshing. For those who don´t need the nic kick. Both the Whisky and the Cuban snuff are mentholized, though it´s not that obvious at the first moment. Though it´s a good thing they aren´t drenched in Menthol, I´d prefer them menthol-free, but alas, that´s just not the way they come along. They´re both good and easy to take. Maybe I´ve been expecting more from the Cuban, but that´s rather mine, than the snuff´s fault. The flavour´s resembling a veeery muted reminiscent of the Radford Premium snuff from Pöschl. For sure they´d need more than a 1 hour testing, but the Villiger representative couldn´t leave them here, as they´re still sortof prototypes. The dispensers are resembling the Alpina snuff mechanism and are very well done. Well, we have to see what those snuffs will be like when they´re finally released, but I´d say they seem like good additions to the snuff stash.
Thanks for the update.
Has anyone tried the Taj yet? I don’t see it on the Dholakia site.
@tom502 MrSnuff sent out my missing Taj yesterday. It somehow got deleted from their shipping sheet, so it didn’t get sent in the first package. I’ll let you know in a couple days when I get it.
Finally, the Braniff line of Snuffs arrived today. I´ll send Xander half a dozen of each, so if any U.S. folks are interested in them, you may turn to him.
Awesome. Would definitely love to try the two tobacco ones. Haven’t tried many German made snuffs. Could be interesting. ~Ken
Ok, seems I have been appointed a new duty, whilst I was showering. I had forgotten about these new snuffs, but nonetheless look forward to trying them. Snuffy and Cstokes are on the list of recipients. I’ll contact all when they arrive.
Thanks much, Xander. That is quite a place to be when being appointed such an important duty. Ha. ~Ken
No need to add anyone else to the list, the three of us can divide them up nicely
^^^^^^^^^^^ mmmmmmmmmmmmm^^^^^^^^^^^^ eventhou i had a german grandad huh ?
Technically, they are Swiss.
Well I can tell you that cuban tobacco is extremely pleasant snuffed as thats what I used to make mine a while back. Im sure theirs is a lot more expert than my attempt so it sounds really interesting.
What’s happened to the Braniff Snuffs??
I second that request for more info
I would like to try these snuffs,if possible. Keep us posted, if anyone finds something out regarding retail availability, please.
