Magnet Menthol disappeared?

@shikitohno Covent Keen Scented is simply one of Mullins and Westley snuffs. Covent Snuff is their snuff brand, since they are based in Covent Garden in London. Keen Scented happens to be their medicated one. M&W (Covent) snuffs are not quite as hard to get. Their shop is called Davy’s Segar & Snuff Parlour. It has a website, which you can order from if you are able (probably no US orders): http://www.davy.co.uk/CigarAndSnuff.php?menuid=4 Curiously they only carry their main four brands, but the shop itself is reported to have a monthly rotating Dealer’s Special (rotates between Emerald Mocha, Rumba, Covent Rose and Citrus Delight). This is the only place in the UK to get these as far as I know. Snuffstore.de stocks all eight varieties (4 standrd and 4 specials), but does not always have them all in stock. Best bet for US residents? Don’t order from Switzerland or Germany. Find a friend in London area to pick a few up for you. The Trade thread awaits requests! As for the other snuffs on those sites, yes, some odd ones indeed, at least to our Anglo-centric discussions and commerce here. One I think is from the Swiss or French tobacco monopoly (Pasquale Mentolino) another I think is from the Italian state monopoly (La Nazionale Mentopin) but I’m not sure. Filek knows these a lot better than me, and we do have a few Swiss and Italian members here who know better also. Perhaps one of them will shed some light on that. A few others are odd ones from Pöshl, like Ozona Anis, which is only distributed in France and Switzerland last I heard. Also Mac Cartney & Mac Craig (not Mac Craig Royal). I know nothing about Mac Craig, but I heard that Mac Cartney was discontinued. Perhaps not in Switzerland. If you do make an order to Switzerland for some oddites, check first to see if everything is in stock, and if they will ship here. You may also want to arrange a group buy, as others are probably interested.
