Problems buying snuff online

Hi.
I’m a new user.

In many European nations, local monopoly laws prevent to buy our favourite snuff online. Local selection is very limited.
How I can do :frowning: ?

For countries which restrict distance (online) / crossborder sales / import / mailing of tobacco products, ordering within the EU is the way to go since 01 July 2021. Check out this thread: A list of EU-based snuff/snus online stores shipping w i t h i n the EU - #9 by volunge

Also, if you like natural (plain) snuffs, you can easily make some at home from additives-free strong cigars, like Toscanos and Jose L. Piedra, which are so affordable in Italy. All you need is fine mesh sieve (like this one) and electrical coffee grinder (anything like this). Snuff making 101 - #366 by volunge , also check out @ALLex posts about cigar snuffs on the same discussion thread.

If you are interested in homemaking, do try making snuff from additives-free American Spirit Perique tobacco, it’s bloody cheap in your country, not trying it would be a sin. Simply mill it with factory moisture level (do not dry it out), sift through a fine mesh sieve and try it. If you want it stronger / moister, you can easily alkalize it later, as described in the same 101 thread.

Thanks for the shout out @volunge , I totally agree with what you said above.

Yeah @Sardinian_Snuff if I judge by your username you must be very close to Italy where Toscano (fire cured burley) cheroot cigars are very popular, they are traditional Italian cigars. Toscanos can make a wonderful plain tobacco smokey snuff either in fine dry grind or in coarse moist. They are not expensive a pack of 5 big ones is like 10 euros. I like to smoke a Toscano paired with an espresso too they are very decent and can make a nice snuff with nice smoky tobacco aroma.

I think they are even cheaper in Italy, @ALLex. If this official pricelist is actual for the current year as well (such lists, if I understand it right, set prices in stone for all vendors there; there are separate lists for each type of tobacco products - snuff and chewing tobacco, pipe tobacco, rolling tobacco, cigarettes): https://www.adm.gov.it/portale/documents/20182/1106899/Listino-sigari-13-10-20.pdf/8fc367f0-8fd7-4f22-9d17-46e5060a042c?t=1602598692955 . Other cigars are also priced very nicely, (almost) making Italy one of the go-to countries for stocking on cigars (Andorra beats them all, though: The CigarShop - JOSE L. PIEDRA ; I was there once, but wasn’t interested in cigars back then, unfortunately).
