I’ve decided next month I’m going to make my first bulk purchase, by which I mean a several hundred gram of just one snuff. Unless my soon to arrive Toque Toast and Marmalade changes my mind, I’m going to buy a 400g economy bag of Toque Bourbon. What was your first bulk snuff purchase? I think bulk should start at 100g.
Fubar Grunt! 260g X4
Holy ravioli - that’s a helluva first bulk purchase! :))
A killer Gram! Toque bourbon has left me cold! I have 400gram bulk of Whiskey and Honey, 200 Gram of plain old Vanilla, and 200 gram of Lavender. Bulk snuff is the freshest way possible to store and enjoy. The WOS bulks I purchased are my favorites from a quality perspective. I am glad that I bought bulk of Fubar, the batches have been rather different since then, I get a small tin every once and a while once a new batch arrives just to check. I have so much snuff that my TAD seems to have abated. I am a sucker for the Gawith tubs though, damn fine snuff and a great tub to preserve freshness. I just dig variety. And over the year my tastes change a lot, give that some thought as far as your choice in bulk. Roderick makes the bulk choice difficult, so many! He is a godsend to snuffers, too bad he is such a pussy when it comes to making a manly snuff though!!! I mean just grind up that Thouc Lao and sprinkle a little PH up on it Roderick!!! Call it Roderick’s Super Viagra Rocket Fuel! Feel free to chime in here guy’s!
Hehe. I have to force myself to put the bourbon down if any of the other snuffs want a look in. On my wish list, which after this month’s crazy expenditure will take a few months is Toque bourbon as already mentioned. Toque whiskey and honey 400g Toque cheese and bacon 400g Toque berwick brown 400g I never want to be without those snuffs.
You live in England right? No reason to fear being without.

A 2lb tin of Kendal Brown Original, meant for sale to retailers. Snuff was usually ladled out of those tall tins for loose sales by the ounce, but I was greedy back then. Remain gluttonous to this day. After sampling tins for experience, bulk buys are best. Snuff is usually better quality and far and away more cost effective.
My first bulk purchase was a 250g tub of Grunt that I got the day it was back in stock after the Grunt shortage, my second was a 200g bag of Quit and I agree with PhilipS, bulk purchases are always much better and fresher than the tin.
Interesting what you say, chaps. I think I’m going to make one bulk purchase per month as I’ve now discovered some firm favorites. The thought of them being even better in bulk just fills me with excitement :))
Still somewhat new so only bulk i’ve ordered is 100 grams of F&T HDT. Can’t live without it!
My first bulk order was 1/2 lb of Tranter’s Country Doctor. I have since bought 1/2lb of Camphor and Mild, which I have since finished, 250g of SG Zip and 1lb each of SM Blue and Camphor and Mild. I want to get some Toque Natural Toast in bulk too, just have to save up a bit. Either that or 500g of Irish D Light, can’t make my mind up. Stefan
My first bulk purchase was a 2lb tub of stokers plain and 2lbs of sweet for good measure. That was over three years ago. Sadly, it is not longer made. It’s still good and fresh! I think the tubs were around $35 each at that time; it was a good value.
My first bulk was 800 g Toque Quit. I don’t regret that purchase. I agree with you Stitch…the Stokers is a good value and I really like the plain too!
If I remember rightly my first was a 1/2 lb of Wilson’s Best SP, only a couple of years ago. Before that I used to buy it loose from the 1 lb tub at the good tobacconists we used to have here.
@ermtony - Best SP was my second bulk purchase along with a tub of IHT22!
And No. 22 was my second!
My first bulk acquisition (it was a contest prize not a purchace) was 400g of a Toque of my choice. Being unable to decide, I was allowed to get 4 100g bags instead. They were Quit, Coke, Original, and Chocolate. I think my first actual bulk purchace may have been Toque Spanish Gem.
Great thread. My first bulk purchase, and that was just a few weeks ago, was 200g of WoS Clove. Can’t live without the stuff! I’m just trying to decide what’s next.
Surely you mean McChrystal’s Clove?
