I’m not sure if this is allowed, but here goes. ( Mods, If I’m breaking any big rules feel free to delete.) A friend of mine and I have started a print magazine called “The Snuff Takers Ephemeris”. http://www.stephemeris.com/ We are mainly focused on smokeless tobacco history, and culture, with emphasis on snuff and snus.

Right now it looks like roughly 80 pages or so, per issue. We’re targeting 80-100 pages per. Almost no ads in the first issue. There will be ads in future issues, but as few as possible. We have to pay the printers somehow.

Very interesting, have you gotten in touch with any of the Snuff advertisers on this site like Mr.Snuff, Toque, etc etc? If they already haven’t they might be interested in placing some ads in your magazine. I’ll be buying the first issue either way, I like to support the Snuff community in any way I can. EDIT: Could you give a little sneak peak of some of the articles in the inaugural issue. Nothing to spoil the surprise but maybe just a tidbit to tide me over till it ships?

@ Alexander, we will never have more than 25% ads. Less if we can. That was one of my rules going in. I hate mags that can’t get through an entire article without breaking it up to place an ad. @ John, we have talked to Roderick. The rest we will talk to after the first issue goes out. Let them see what we offer before asking for cash. I’ll see what teasers I can get away with.

Ordered one. Good starting place for the dream that was the ISTA? Just a thought.

I also singed up for it with Paypal

Nice! Online magazines are fine but they can’t compare to the tangible pressed print. Good luck to us!

Good for you! I am so excited to see “snuff culture” take off the way it has in the past few years, and your magazine sounds like just the thing we needed.

Interesting, I’ll probably order a copy towards the end of the month.

Great stuff, good luck with it, Ill be ordering.

@ Alexander, $4.99 is the discount price, for pre-orders. $5.51 is full price, free shipping. @ John, here is your teaser… Ljunglof, the Snus King (Chapter One) International directory of haunted snuff mills Curt Jurgens retrospective Identifying snuff boxes, part one: English wood-carved Strange… but true! Interview with Bill Johnson Notes from the underground Ephemera A look back at Fribourg & Treyer Brands of yesteryear plus several more monthly columns, snuff literature reprints, and more guest commentary than you can shake a stick at.

I wish you the best of luck with your magazine. Unfortunately I cannot subscribe at the moment. Gotta work on getting those pesky bills caught up.

What a bloody good idea! I’ll be signing up for a copy hopefully you’ll ship to the UK? Stefan

Ordered and paid for! Stefan

Sounds great, I’ll probably order it at the end of the week.

Just ordered my copy. And yes I am new so Hello to everybody I’m looking forward to getting involved with the snuffhouse community!

Good work, Mick! I’ll be sure to pick up a copy and also to show a pipe smoking aquaintance that runs an eclectic bookshop.

Can there be too much snuff stuff to read? Got mine ordered.

You guys rock. We are getting a limited number printed to start, with reprinting an option. Really thanks for the orders and encouragement. We are blown away by the response. Obviously we ship internationally. PACT won’t even slow us down. lol

Hi guys, I just wanted to introduce myself and say thanks for the support we’ve received from you! My name is Rob and I’m the publisher/prez of The Ephemeris. We hope that the first issue exceeds all expectations, and we promise that the second issue will be even bigger than the first. I wanted to make the book run well over 100 pages, but we had to max out at 80 for the first issue. We’re shooting for a much higher page count with future issues, at no price increase to the reader. @thatjerk, unfortunately, we’re not set up to take subscriptions yet, but we are working very hard to make paid subs possible. To compensate, we’re going to offer a discount on all pre-orders for the new issues, starting about a month before their release date. Our current pre-order discount is good until October 28th. To track the new issues, we’ll make an announcement on our blogpage and website, and we’re also working on getting a newsletter together. You guys will always be the first to know. Thanks again for the overwhelming support!

just put my order in, hopefully there will be many more issues to come

I can’t wait for the 1st Edition ! I just bought 3 copies.

i need this too!

Are you guys considering a reprint of the first edition? I seem to have missed the boat on this…

Hello Jesu! We are going to reprint the first issue simultaneously with the second issue. The first printing sold out almost immediately and many people were unable to locate a copy.

Sounds great!!! I can’t wait!!!

Bring it! Niggas! (This is an inside joke, if you are interested visit the Snuff Ephemeris blog! I apologize upfront to anyone who may be offended by such ghetto language and will delete upon request.}

Glad someone got the joke!

@juxtaposer- LOL great disclaimer

Hey, I’m psyched, I’m one of the people who missed out on the first issue. Can’t wait for number 2 and the reprint.
