Don’t mean any offense but I find the price of Abraxas prohibitive. As and if Snuffster increases his output, will the prices drop? I really want to try Abraxas but I can’t justify the high cost in my mind.

Abraxas is the price it is because it is hand made using the best possible ingredients - it is and always will be a luxury product not aimed at the mass market. My wholesale price is as low as I can make it to ensure production carries on - and believe me when I say that this is something I do for the love of it, now I’m happily retired and have more time. what I do is actually a very bad way of getting rich. The retail price, obviously, is a matter for David at Mr Snuff but I can tell you with complete sincerity that what he charges is very fair; actually he has an offer on at the moment. In terms of increasing my production, and therefore reducing the price because I move more product; that is for the future and something I am thinking about - but I am not looking to go into large scale production competing with the likes of Wilsons; that is not what Abraxas is about - it will never be a cheap snuff like Hine antique will never be a cheap cognac, not that I’m comparing the two but just by way of an example. Actually, my goal is to keep it at the price it is.

But what I can say is that this year should see my first ‘traditional’  brands - or my take on them - and I will do everything commercially possible to align my prices with the industry standards for those snuff types. There is no point trying to whitewash or evade this issue - my snuff is very expensive and I don’t apologise for that, but I will do everything I can to keep the premium brands at the existing price and produce other snuffs with just as much love and attention at a more usual price. I can not compete with the mighty Toque or Wilsons in a price war - it couldn’t be done bar some kind of contract manufacturing horror - but

 I am working on other things and there will be a significant price difference. **quite a few edits, getting old, typos etc**

Thanks for the open and helpful response Snuffster. I’m going through a period of financial constraints. I’ll buy the premium products when my disposable income returns to my normal level. Cheers.

THANK YOU!!!

100 jar =1300 dollars sounds like a lot of work for a little payday. Now take away the distributors profit -300 =$1000.
Jars with lids and labels + original shipping - $200 = $800 for labor !/4 of that to the tax man $600 .This is just my guesswork probably close +/- $30

Knowledge of mixing a sale-able product crackerjack .You want filet mignon or you want a cheeseburger either of them prepared by the owner and head chef should be at a premium.At these prices I consider him a starving artist.

I just figure that when I order Chinese food or pizza it’s easy to spend $15 or so just for my share after tip, and I figure 15g of snuff will last much longer:)

Before you try Abraxas, you may well be under the impression that it’s overpriced. After you try Abraxas, you most certainly will not be under that impression…it’s stupendous snuff, there’s nothing out there quite like the standard Abraxas, it’s like the lovechild of crushed velvet and 90% cocoa dark chocolate. It’s handmade, small batch, extremely high quality and unique snuff. Most definitely a high luxury item. That attention to detail and personal touch can’t be bought at mass-market prices. I have yet to try Cerise and Club as times are a little tight at the min, but they will be at the top of my shopping list when I’m in a position to put down a snuff order.

Unfortunately I’ll have to stick to favouring baked beans over Abraxas at the moment. However the sheer amount of extremely good reviews off of the only forum I’ll ever trust regarding nasal snuff means it’s probably wroth the price. Also there’s no way to get professional level anything in small batches

Making your own snuff is easy. Even making a snuff that could compete with manufacturing companies is relatively simple. But making batch after batch and putting it out on the market even in smallish quantities takes serious time and commitment. I would hope the Abraxas co. stays in the black (makes money) especially since this will mean more specialty snuffs from them being made for us. 

I do have sympathy for you @OscarWabbit but your gluttony has blinded you to it’s (Abraxas) true value. It seems you are looking at how much it will cost you to acquire 600 grams compared to the cost of a 600 gram discounted-old-must-sell-snuff-hoarders-dream-find jar. Unfortunately this is just the beginning of these feelings you’ll be having as the price of snuff goes up and more and more new and exiting snuffs come out.  I warned you this would happen. 

At its current price a jar of Abraxas is about the same as a packet of premium cigarettes like Tor. I haven’t tried it, but I reckon that 15g of premium snuff (which would take even the most dedicated user a couple of days to get through) is a much better use of the money!

Getting through 15g of snuff in a day is easy. My usual in take is between 10-20g per day depending on the snuff.

Good Heavens, OscarW. Do you eat it with a spoon?
