Hello again,
I’m doing online research on available retailers. I have found many that do not send internationally even though they have interesting stocks. Nonetheless, during my research I have found a website that offers worldwide export and has Neffa Ifrikia in stock. I’m not personally going to order since it is available locally. I thought it could be interesting for those who are looking for this brand which is not currently in stock anywhere else that I have seen.
Good day and good snuff.

I remember having researched it in hopes of finding a provider before I found it locally and it was out of stock on White fox, at that point I was also a little uncertain on that vendor because of some trust pilot reviews and the copy paste of mr snuff uk layout that made me wonder if it was a legit website. Nonetheless, now that you mention it I am reassured about this vendor and they also seem to restock Neffa.
Back on the Bledi subject, I do find it intriguing that this is the less exported product as it comes in a plastic container and the packaging feels cheap/mass produced. Ifrikia comes in an aluminum tin. I’ve heard of another elusive Neffa Souffi, which for now, I haven’t found either. Bledi definitely has a more oriental flavor profile, however I do find it less enjoyable than Ifrikia and the tabac store had less Ifrikia in stock.
You don’t need to search for Neffa Souffi - like with any other tobacco product, if it’s still placed on the market in France, simply ask any buraliste to order a carton of ten sachets (or other number; I’m not aware how many sachets of this Tunisian snuff are in one carton) for you. Although I’m not sure if it’s still sold in France these days. One thing is clear, it still was on the list a couple of years ago.
Up to (relatively) recently Sifaco’s Neffa Ifrikia was packaged in plastic tins, very similar to those which Pöschl packages their Neffa Bledi in. The photo of metal tin of Neffa Ifrikia which you have shared (thank you!) just a while ago is a new type of container for this nasal snuff product - it seems that Sifaco have started using same metal tins they package their chemma (Makla brand oral rustica products) in for their Neffa after the implementation of new Track & Trace system (bottom of the tin is marked with the new type unique tobacco product identifier code). Which is a good sign, i. e. Sifaco have not discontinued Neffa Ifrikia.

That’s very interesting, thank you kindly for the brilliant information! I haven’t given up trying to place an order at a buraliste, sadly where I originally purchased the Neffa tins, they refused categorically. I have since then found one that said they potentially could, but I had to bring a tin with me. Hoping that from that starting point, I’ll be able to ask about Souffi. However, that still doesn’t solve the issue of finding them for the rest of the Snuff House community.
