I just recieved an order from northerner.com, including a 12,5 gram tapbox of De Kralingse Oranje. Now, from what I’ve gathered, the Molens tapboxes should have a very thin piece of tape keeping the box and lid together. My box had no such tape. My question is: Do ALL molens tapboxes have that thin tape, or has some Northerner-employee been sneaking pinches of the good stuff?
@Bastu: When De Kralingse started we did not use tape to seal our tap boxes. After one or two years we started to tape at the request of our customers. Of course I am not sure what happened, and to be sure you should ask Northerner. Jaap Bes.
At least the b____rds have excellent taste in fine snuff. Now give them a fair trial, take 'em out back and…
I have… 15 small boxes and 2 large ones, the small boxes had a very small sliver of plastic to show the lid was not disturbed. It did make a clear "click"sound/feeling when opened.
@snuffmiller I enjoy all De Kralingse more than any other manufacturer. But, the A/P is by far my favorite snuff I have ever had, every day, all day for the last couple months. Great job! I hope @mrsnuff gets another load of 100gs, in the next year… Or maybe a 500g?
@snuffmiller Thanks for the answer. So am I correct in suspecting that, even if the box I got wasn’t broken into, it could have been sitting in some storage room for quite som time? Judging by the little scent I get I think I would enjoy this snuff very much, but I dont think this box did it justice. Would make sense if its an old, non-airtight box that’s been sitting for some years, that some or much of the aroma has escape.
@Bastu: mail me your address I’ll sent you some fresh. Jaap Bes.
