Schmalzlers

I guess I have tried about every style of snuff out there, and lots and lots of flavors. One style that eludes me, mainly because I haven’t found a place that carries it that I can get shipped to the US is Schmalzler. I started this discussion so you can tell me what I am missing out on, and also so you can tell me I am wrong, and there IS a place I can get shipping to the US from. So, snuffhouse, what is Schmalzler all about?

A course, moist snuff often flavoured and moistened by fruit syrups/oils. Clumpy texture that can be tricky to take. As memory serves, click on ‘snuffstore’ to the left of this text box and I believe they carry it.

Yep, Snuff Store carries quite a few of the Bernard Schmalzlers and they ship to the US. Top notch service too.

It is going to have to be SnuffStore.co.uk or Rejeks.de. Mars has only one kind and I think they are the only ones that have any in the US. I love Bernard schmalzers like zwiefacher and 275 Jahre Jubiläums and I would like to try the Pöschl ones someday when I can spend the money for a Rejekes order.

Is there any kind of issue with shelf life? (Before I impulse order… I’ve already spent $120 on tobacco today.)

Nothing in particular, obviously they are at the moist end of the spectrum so good housekeeping is important: store in an airtight environment and if you use a snuff box just put in what you need for the day. Snuffstore is widely used by most of us and I’ve not had anything apart from decent fresh snuff from Tim.

I have a tin of Bernard Aecht Altbayerischer that is still as fresh as the day I bought it last October. I am sure glad most of my talk about snuff is typed instead of oral. I can’t pronounce half these names :slight_smile:

I struggle to type them, having fingers like bananas and all

Ok, so it’s a done deal as soon as someone tells me what I should order first. I like: Strong scents and flavors. Think Peaty Scotch and socks that have been worn three days in a row (HDT. Yeah, I went there.)

I think you do that bit by logging onto the site.

^^ What? (Sorry, I’m a bit thick at this time of night.) Well I’ll be damned. And my wife is going to kill me, but I ordered MORE tobacco today, and it included schmalzlers from snuffstore. I also came across a bunch of snuffs that I don’t see on mr snuff or nicotine rush, which are the places I alternate orders from, so I pulled the trigger, and like I said, my wife will probably shoot me. But I will have delicious snuff in my nose when she does, so I guess that’s ok. I have been enjoying the hell out of WoS Honey Menthol. In fact, much to the detriment of the other 30 or 40 snuffs I have in my possession right now. So I was prety amazed when I found Samuel Gawith Honey. The best part about honey menthol is the honey, and I’d been wishing for a honey snuff with no menthol. Can’t. Wait.

zonesix, Up until a few weeks ago, I was a schmalzler virgin too. I just “manned up” and ordered one of every Bernard snuff (12) available at the snuff store. There are like 2 I’m not super fond of because they are a litte too perfumey, but in general, I’m now a schmalzler convert. Amorstrinha, Brasil, Jubiliaums, and Wies Blau are a few of my favorites. In fact, even though I don’t need it, I just placed an order from rajeks because I wanted to try the Poschl, Sternecker and a few other Bernard Schmalzlers I haven’t tried.

Good to know snuffegnugen! I didn’t man up like THAT, but I definitely overdid it today. I’ll report back soon.

Yeah, an OCD level obsession with trying new snuff and disposable income don’t mix well. Hope you enjoy the schmalzler’s you ordered though. Took a little over a full week to get my order from England to AZ.

That’s not bad. Usually takes me 4 days to get packages to Wisconsin from Florida. Plus, that’s a big ocean there. Don’t get me started on disposable income. That’s something I had before I got married.

@zonesix: Samuel Gawith’s Honey is mentholated I’m afraid to report, although it’s not as pronounced as the menthol in the Wilson’s.

Schmalzler’s are mostly what I use these days.

I have a thread about swapping Schmalzler - but thought I would also drop a line here. Two 100g bags of Schmalzler, one Brazil A (the blue band) and one Südfrucht. Please whisper me if you’re interested. Swap for some dry snuff, Scotch, F&T, or?

I love Wilsons Toasts! WIll check reviews out, and get back to you!

Hi Pieter. Yes the address is correct. No? I have no idea what NTSU is? Thanks - sounds very interesting :o) Mr Niko
