Oh, the wait!

F

I am waiting on my first real snuff orders from toque and mr. Snuff. It has been two+ weeks at this point. I am running on fumes here, surviving on samples and trades from the generous members here. How long is shipping typically to the u.s.? Im in ny so thought it is just a flight across the ocean!

M

I feel for you. I haven’t ordered any tobacco on line because of these kind of stories. Hope it gets to you soon

Z

I have had five orders from two different companies arrive, still waiting on a recent one. I would say expect between 10-15 dayson average. Snuff doesn’t usually get held up, but snus… don’t bother unless you want a long wait.

M

I am wondering if the cigar companies over here stock snuff. I will have to look into it because I can order cigars and have them in 2 days

S

i ordered on the 6th , should be any day now… i hope

D

Ive waited anywhere from seven days to three weeks. Most of the time its closer to 10 days and I live in montana.

R

Made an order, but this time I sprung for Airsure shipping to see where my orders go and how long it takes them to get from point A to point B and how long customs fusses about with them. We’ll see, I suppose. Then again, I, too, live in NY: not exactly the paragon of efficiency.

E

I received an order from Mr Snuff yesterday that came pretty quickly (5 business days), but I had to wait a week or so before that because a couple of the snuffs were backordered. The Your Account part of the website should say if the package has shipped.

F

My average for receiving a package from Mr. Snuff, starting from the shipping date, is about ten days. I live in Virginia. This last order took a bit longer, about 17 days. Maybe it’s just my perception, but lately it seems like a number of people in the US are waiting longer for overseas packages to arrive.

F

@Roderick I know our local postal service has recently undergone a “restructuring” and I would imagine it was due to a national mandate. Maybe Customs is scrutinizing packages more closely, or maybe it’s a combination of both. I know it’s not restricted to tobacco products. Friends/co-workers have noticed it with food products (jelly babies, treacle toffees, teas…etc.).

M

U.S.P.S. has been shrinking & selling off locations to Pitney-Bowes who is using them for PSI (the comingling of mail to create drop shipments to each states distribution center) The Post Office has been losing money for a loooong time

S

Yes, restructuring, shrinking workforce, reduced processing centers have to be placing quite a toll on efficiency… Bummer!!!

F

I just want to clarify that I was not complaining about these two vendors or even the incompetence of the government run mail industry. I’m just an impatient little kid right now! :((

S

Believe me @fbones24, we have ALL had that experience. Think Christmas Eve as a kid… Hang in there, All will be good in the kingdom once again!

B

it’s just delays. Lots of people are ordering more shit with post christmas money. It will pass damn it. Normaly takes about a week.

R

Ok, so: update. My Airsure package arrived TODAY. Was it worth the extra? Well, I think so.

B

Place your order ,forget about it. And be surprised when you receive it. Works every time!

M

@RobeAndSlippers Was that a Mr.Snuff order?

R

@MattheFox Yes, it was. Purchased 1/24, shipped 1/25, arrived today.

M

Good to know when I decide to turn loose some money Thanks for the information & update

Wow, it’s like snuff christmas in my house today. Got my Toque order, my Mr. Snuff order and a package from another member from a trade. I don’t even know what to do with myself. Cafe 11, Dragun, Fine Border, etc. Whooooo. Been pinching out of my new Santo Domingo tin so far tonight.

Very cool I went to place a pretty big order yesterday at Mr. Snuff but realized it wasn’t allowing me to use my reward points. I have over $20 in them so I started reading and finally found that they are no longer doing the reward points anymore. I am waiting on an email from them before I place my order. The anticipation is killing me.

R

33 days waiting until now…

D

My order shipped a couple days ago, but I think I waited to long to place it. I am now down to crumbs for snuff and am starting to panic slightly :-S My order: 1 x FREE Klik Klak Sampler 1 x Abraxas Dragun 15g 1 x Dholakia White 25g 2 x Swisher Honey Bee 130g 1 x Wow Coffee Bite 10g 2 x Dholakia Ganga 50g 1 x Dholakia Kamal 50g 1 x Swedish Match Taxi Red 25g 1 x Viking Peach 25g 1 x Dholakia Aniseed 50g 1 x Temptation Purple Passion 10g

Don’t panic. Many storebought tobacco can be made into snuff in a pinch.

@Xander So I am basically out of snuff besides some 5g tins of SD that my buddy carries at his tobacco shop. I went by his shop and he gave me a pouch of Redman Loose Leaf Tobacco (chew). I dumped it all out onto a huge sheet of aluminum foil and separated it all opening up the leaves etc. It is now in the oven at the lowest setting and I have the door propped open slightly so that it can dry out. After it dries I will use my magic bullet to grind it up to the right snuff consistency and filter it through a fine mesh screen. Hope this project turns out well! Almost forgot, Redman smells and tastes AMAZING! A smell of sun dried cherries/raisins maybe figs with molasses/tobacco. The whole downstairs of my house smells great since its been drying out.

D

Here is a picture of the final outcome. It made a lot! Just tried it out and it is pretty good. Will take some time to see what I really think about it. Update after taking 4 fat boxcars over 30 min or so. It is very sweet, I smell sweet figs and also a dried cured tobacco smell. I got a very slight burn one of the times. Also I got some drips and the taste is very sweet.

D

So after using it more today I have to say, IT IS SWEET! It’s a bit overpowering. I would say it is definitely not an all day use snuff, it is just too rich. Almost like eating too much cheesecake. Common Mr Snuff order please get here soon!

C

I really like the taste of Red Man but I’ve never thought of making snuff with it. If it’s too sweet I bet it would be nice cut with some plain snuff.

D

It really came out perfect, fine and fluffy with just a tad of moisture. It is more of a once in a while snuff unless you really like SWEET overtones with fig and tobacco scent. My buddy came by last night and gave me a pouch of Beech Nut and Red Man Golden Blend which I have read has twice the nicotine so that should make an interesting snuff The Beech Nut doesn’t smell as sweet so maybe it will make a good snuff that isn’t too sweet.

E

@DICE there’s no such thing as too much cheesecake.

P

@Dice, I sure hope you got your snuff!!!

D

@PeteTschantz I did get it! Everything but the honeybee was in the shipment. The honeybee came a week or so later in a separate shipment. I was so burned out on the homemade Red Man Snuff. After doing it for awhile I came to the conclusion that the nicotine content was pretty low and also the smell of it got to where I just couldn’t stand it anymore. I did make a batch with the Red Man Golden Blend which has a more mellow smell to it and not as sweet, but the smell just got to where it almost turned my stomach. The reason I am rambling on about this is because when I finally got the honeybee I opened the can and took a big boxcar of it and couldn’t believe that it had a very similar smell as the Red Man! So my little Red Man experiment basically RUINED honeybee for me, I cant take any of it without smelling Red Man! Ahh Well.
