I’m thinking about ordering a 5 gram box of J&H Wilsons Top Mills and a 10 gram box of Gawith Hoggarth Strawberry. Do they have a good seal or will I get dried out snuff like I did both times I ordered a Samuel Gawith 10 gram box?
If it’s a round Top Mill should be ok as sealed in cellophane like mcchrystals.
The GH box isn’t as bad as the SG box, but its still pretty bad. Though GH 25g tubs are actually just as bad, the tops come unscrewed in shipping. I reckon the top mill will be fine, and the GH worth a punt. Where you ordering?
Only problem with the Top Mill tins is that they’re too small!
@Firestarter0 Mr. Snuff. I ordered 2 Samuel Gawiths from them (10 gram boxes of Black Coffee and Kendal Brown) and other than the fact they had the same synthetic scent, they were completely dry. @Vostok The 25 gram tins are a bit too large for me, especially because I’ve never tried the two snuffs before, but if the seal is an issue, I’d rather not order them at all.
@Jernej - I don’t think JHW Top Mill is available in anything but 5 gram tins - not that I’ve seen anyway. Am happy to be proved wrong! If you’re worried about the seal, I’d try and find an airtight container to decant the snuff into. That ought to do the trick. Really what I meant was that I love J&HW Top Mill so much, 5 grams last me no time at all! It’s really good. If you like a god’s-honest SP that taken properly will really kick your arse, then it’s up there with the best I reckon. Stick it up your nose like it’s going out of fashion… If you’ve ordered SG in the past in the plastic tap-boxes, then I’m afraid dryness might be all you encounter. Just totally the wrong box for their snuffs, as many on here will testify.
You absolutely have to order SG in the 25g vac sealed tin, otherwise you just wasted your money on dried out shotgun pellets. As for GH, I’ve never ordered the tap boxes but the 25g screw tops do leak and dry the snuff out in my experience.
Hopefully GH will start using SG tins. It is very off - putting to receive stale dried out snuff. Mr.snuff should boycott the SG 10 gram boxes maybe they will start using a better method. If you do order the 25 GH tubs ask them to tape the lid shut. They have done it for me in the past. Are you out there GH, Can you hear the snuffers plea ?
