I have looked around quite a bit and could not find a similar thread, but I do apologize if one already exists. I though it would be nice to know where people live and local shops around them that carry snuff or don’t. We might be able to help each other out. I live in Maryland and work in Washington D.C., USA. I do most of my snuff shopping online. Locally I have so far found one shop that carries snuff, The Tobacco Depot in Laurel, Maryland and all they had was Square, Navy Sweet and Peach Scotch. Shops locally that DO NOT carry snuff: W Curtis Draper Tobacco, The tobacco shop in Union Station, JR Cigars, Davidus Cigars. I vacation frequently in the Pawleys Island/Myrtle Beach area of South Carolina and the Food Lions there carry a lot of American Scotches. Anyone in the DC/Maryland area that knows of local shops that carry snuff? Wherever you live post the shops that carry snuff! Edit: Forgot to add Tobacco Emporium in Glen Burnie had Society Scotch (only)
The Tobacco Shop – Ridgewood, NJ Carries Ozona Raspberry, President, and (I think) Gawith Apricot Anyone got any places in NYC?
Mr. Snuff has a list on his site. There you can add the stores in your area. It would be nice to try to keep one good list, instead of many incomplete ones, i think. I grew up in Potomac Md., (Live in Fl. now) What about you Yimes?
I’ve started a list of shops in Yorkshire which sell snuff. I’m quite deliberately limiting it to Yorkshire as I don’t think I could keep up with more than that. If anyone can add a shop then give me shout.http://ermtony.pbworks.com/Snuff+Links
@ ermtony: Can you not expand to the west midlands/warwickshire ?? please 
… I’d love a good list of snuff sellers for here in the midlands.
Nice idea, but I’m really not familiar with the West Midlands and it’s shops! I do know of some in Cornwall but that’s only because my elder daughter and family live there.
Ah thats fair enough. If you ever have the time/inclination though it would be much appreciated By the way have you come across any local shops specialising in snuff or doing a particularly large range? All my locals tend to sell at max 5 or 6 tins only.
5 or 6 different snuffs seems to be as good as it gets most of the time, though we’re lucky here in Hull in that one suburban newsagent seems to have decided to greatly increase his range and he says it’s all selling well. The proximity to the university probably helps. If I were to devote a section of the site to shops all over the UK I would be very much reliant on other people keeping me informed. I’ll have to think about that.
@miamimark I grew up in Potomac and now live in Potomac after a brief stint in Silver Spring. Whisper me some details, maybe we knew each other. I have seen the list on Mr. Snuff, however, at least for my area it is not extensive and it is incorrect as far as shops that actually sell snuff. I thought this forum, being more populated and current, might be a better place to keep this information No offense meant to Mr. Snuff they have a great site and a nice business.
I’m in Gallup New Mexico. Pino’s at 112 W. Hwy 66 has Gletscher Prise and Ozona President. Denny Pino’s Gift Shop a couple of doors down has a small selection of Poeschl’s and Mc Chrystal’s. Both shops run by members of the same family. Lowe’s Market on East 66 carries Garrett’s Scotch and Sweet.
Im in Terre Haute Indiana. They have a few places here that sell snuff. Tobacco Barn sells BRUTON, WE garret, and WE Garret sweet. Wabash tobacco sells a bynch of poschl, dean swift, and some scotches.
I’m in Sofia, Bulgaria. I cant point just one or two shops. They are many and everywhere. There is snuff in all bigger cigarette & alcohol shops and in all tobacco shops. The snuffs in shops are Poschl’s/Ozona GletcherPrise, Gawith Apricot, Cherry, Strawberry, Spearmint and Redbull. All other snuffs I order online.
As long as Pöschl monopolizes the point of sale market, I fear the snuff renaissance will remain stalled.
I’ll second that.
I disagree only because poschl, (imo) makes very good starter snuffs. If my first ever snuff was the brutons or navy I could get from Winn Dixie, my snuff career would have probably been over very quickly and i would probably still be smoking.
They can get the shops but they can’t monopolize The Internet. Most of the people have computer and all of us have debit cards with Visa Electron and Mastercard marks. I think that most popular snuff shops here are snuffstore.co.uk and snuffstore.de and we also have a local site for those of us that don’t like to use their cards for online shopping. We pay in cash on delivery. Snuffs available on our local site: F&T, Samuel Gawith, Wilsons of Sharrow, Gawith Hoggart, Toque and Dholakia. Pretty good choice. It’s not so bad that Poschl snuffs are widely available in shops. I still think thay are best choise for beginners as they are very easy to take. Especially GletcherPrise. There is no chance to hit your throat even if you snort it like a vacuum cleaner.
I think Poschls are great, and would appeal more to a newbie, than say F&T HDT, or an American Scotch. In a way, I see the Poschl snuffs sorta like the American Camel Snus, in that it’s seems good at first and sparks an interest in the broader world market. While I don’t like Camel Snus now, I still enjoy Poschl snuffs.
Nope. No way. I can see them as an occasional thing, but the way they make me choke and spit…just…no…ugh. I’d still be smoking all day. I agree scotches scare away beginners too. Snuff is stuck in a Catch 22. The middle ground is something like Wilsons or Toque. If those were widely available, and I mean as commonly used as cigarettes, I would have stuck with that from my teenage years. If my first impression of snuff was heavy menthol and parafin and a artificially sweet flavor, I would have treated it as a novelty and moved on. The internet is great. We can all get a huge variety from far and wide, but we are hobbyists. To the day to day consumer, that’s not how to get your daily tobacco fix. I would never recommend them to a newbie.
I agree that if there was nothing else available, i would have moved past the poschl a long time ago and I’d still be smoking. Sticking with snuff and staying away from cigarettes can really be credited mostly to snuffhouse, it’s members and the online shops. When a friend wants to try some off my snuff, the first thing I get out is one of the ozonas. I might as well, they’d just be collecting dust otherwise!
I meant more so as an introduction snuff, to spark an interest in the world of snuff. But while some don’t like Poschl snuffs, many must, or they wouldn’t be so popular. I have also heard from total newbies that picked up some Ozona at a local shop, and because they liked it, went on to order different kinda. That was the link with Camel Snus I was trying to make.
