Im seeing signs on sites saying they can no longer ship to the US. Just curious about how this is affecting business, any update from the suppliers or anyone on the other side of the pond who’s tried to get an order? More Nazi inteference. EDIT: I should have said not able to process credit card orders
Ummm, dont know. Maybe it has something to do with some BS biill the US is trying to pass because poor ol New York ( state with the highest tobacco tax ) is crying and complaining that they are losing 1 Billion dollars a year in " smuggled " tobacco from online sites. read about it here. http://www.snuson.com/viewtopic.php?t=4928
sorry, I have no clue how to make links work on here,

I know. Never thought in this era " Tobacco Smugglers " would even be a term , lol
USPS and other delivery services can’t let tobacco products go through their systems? So this means those in the US won’t be able to order Toque anymore?
somewhat on topic - a bill was just passed for washington state that prohibits tobacco from being ordered by phone or online. The kicker is that it applies to all tobacco EXCEPT large cigars. Wouldn’t want to interfere with the fat cats and their leisure.
No more Toque would make me cry. 
One way around this is to go to your local tobacconist and ask if any of their distributors carry snuff. I know a cigar shop about 30 mins from me in columbus Ga their distributor carries Wilsons snuff although their shop has none in stock.
Just to clarify, the sign on the Wilsons site says that it cant accept credit card orders, sorry guys i was a bit inaccurate, I guess you could still send money orders. Have alook at the Wilsons website.
Still though… that link may signify the end to overseas orders.
Ok two issues here. One is the credit card business, that I don’t know what to do about it. The more serious matter is the Senate bill. I just read the bill. I don’t like it. I just wrote to one of my senators in regards to it. The one that’s on the commitee. I suggest you do the same. I will start a new thread in regards to this.
Maybe this is more of that “change” we kept hearing about. Seriously though, I just hope none of this prevents us(me) as an American from getting imported snuffs. If all I could have was scotches, I think I’d just quit it all.
This sucks for you guys. I hope you manage to get the bill repealed

Welcome to the British way of doing things. That is all Labour/Conservatives/Lib Dems have been doing to us for years, we now have an orwellian big brother society. We have more CCTV than anywhere in the world, Government logging phonecalls emails etc. all thanks to EU data sharing laws. God knows what the future will bring but goodbye freedom. Stefan
In addition to the impending fear of the s.1147 legislation, I was hit with a surprise by my credit card company recently. I’ve been making overseas purchases since January when I found snus on the Northerner. Then I got into ordering snuff as well from overseas vendors. I guess since I pay my card off every month, my carrier saw at least some way to make money off me. Back in May they sent me a letter stating my new credit card changes. While most of them didn’t bother me, they added an overseas purchase surcharge. It’s not exceptionally high, but it’s the principal of the matter that pisses me off. Now that I personally have stock in these companies, since I pay US taxes, this just royally chaps my hide. Welcome to the New World Order!

anything that they can get away with charging you for they will.
Many of them have been doing that for some time. I’ve been doing international transactions for several years (not snuff related.) In fact I have to travel overseas quite a bit, and use my card in other countries. I finally found a bank that lets me have a few a month for no charge. I think I’m limited to 4 a month. Its actually a debit card with a small overdraft credit limit. Being desperate as they are these days, they will pinch whatever they can from you.
