Ok, so my current favorite snuff is the Polschl Apricot. I’m grateful that it does come in 25g pouches as an option, but I am a bit jealous of those whose favorite sniff comes in cans of 100g. Is there a place to get these in, dare I say, bulk amounts? Also, I’m in the U.S. -SOTW
maybe you can contact the Poschl factory, poeschl-tobacco.com but be glad on the other hand that your snuffs stays fesh when taking 25g pouches. For some snuffers it takes years before they empty a 100g can, even if they empty it already.
Yeah I have to agree with the above, sometimes I even feel that I would go as far as to buy two 25Gs instead of a 50 tub. The smaller the container the fresher the snuff. I’m used to cig prices so Im still saving a ton

This would intuitively seem to make sense, but it’s not actually the case in practise. Snuff tends to keep better when it is stored in bulk. It prevents it from drying out as fast. If the tins were truly airtight, then you would be correct in your assumption that smaller containers would mean fresher snuff. Unfortunately, poor design means that unopened tins still allow the snuff to deteriorate. The best way to ensure fresh snuff is to buy a large amount, decant it into an airtight glass container, and then fill your snuffbox from that container. Another less obvious reason to buy in bulk is that bulk containers are often filled to order rather than taken from stock. This means that the bulk stuff is often fresher simply because it is newer. In addition, bulk containers are usually of a more airtight design (plastic drum vs. crappy metal tin) so the snuff has less opportunity to dry out before it reaches you.
Don’t buy bulk poschl. There’s a high chance you’ll regret it. Don’t take this the wrong way, but most if not all people get sick of Poschl pretty quickly.

Makes sense, I have plenty of mason jars from my other habit! So I’m good to go
Thanks for all the info everyone, greatly appreciated. My main motivation would be to save $$$. It gets expensive to order from UK to US and pay $10-$15 shipping for the same amount of money in snuff. Keeping it in an airtight container wouldn’t be a problem…I’m very particular with my snuff and my cigars/humidor.

We’ll have to agree to disagree on this one. I’ve burned through 300+ grams of the Poschl and I still love it as my everyday. That said I am looking to branch out with a lot of different flavors next purchase. -SOTW
I would love to find a source for Hedges L260 in bulk. 20g tins just are not the answer. I’d seriously order at least half a kilo if it were sold that way.

I think that is true of members on this forum because we have info and access to many other snuffs. But of snuff takers we are a minority. Poschl is one of the largest and best sellers of snuff in the world.

I agree. While I didn’t really care for L260 at first, I have truly grown to love it.
