I am being emailed almost daily by customers asking where they can buy SD and, as we’ve shipped 10’s of thousands of tins, I wanted to know if any of you guys had seen it in the shops yet? And if you knew of any shops that wanted to stock SD but, still hadn’t been able to get any? I’d like to be able to list as many shops as possible where you can or could, if they got stock, buy Silver Dollar.

Roderick, our B&M knows nothing about Silver Dollar

My 2 good local B&M shops have both tried to find it for me and failed.

Bigmick, let me know their names and I will get them supplied.

I don’t know where to get it. You should add a list of stores that sell it to the web.

Did OscarWabbit get it all?

After my comment above I went for a drive with my dog. I found Silver Dollar snuff in the six flavors pictured below at the Tobacco Town in Portland, Oregon. Price was $3.10 per container. Snuff is shown with a 10g WoS container.

The local chain (small chain) has no snuff of any kind. There is a much more informed and well-stocked B&M in the nearest large city that I’m sure has it but I haven’t checked yet.

Cigar and Tobac in Kansas City (well actually Overland Park suburbs) has it.

@roho … and anyone really who has tried these … (and I am sure there is a review somewhere) … but aren’t these all menthol? or mentholated in some manner?

@snuffbrant, one flavor does not contain menthol. I just can’t remember which.

No luck around here so far. I gave up after the twentieth or so phone call.

I’ve got two of each of these snuffs. Natural is good. Of course it’s the only one without menthol.

Looks like I have to make a run to Overland Park. While I’m out job hunting. edm

Spyro, If you got their names, I’ll get them stocked. Jazzimike, I like the idea of a list of stores that carry stock. The one without Menthol is Natural and all have less menthol than the Poschl equivalent. It’s good to see shops are starting to get SD.

Do they need a Phillips and King account or has the situation changed? I know you to be a man of your word Roderick, if you say you can get it stocked, I believe it. I’ll make another serious effort this week to locate some SD and post if I still have trouble finding it.

I had one tobacco store (has the best prices in West Nashville) THat was interested in carrying it but they said they couldn’t find it or anyone to get it from. Maybe you should advertise more? I dunno what to do or the first thing about getting it carried in stores. Want their email or something? I’d love to find SD in the stores… gimme instructions and I’ll carry them out if you want me to help stock these stores up! Nashville’s a great city for snuff!

Philips and King are the main distributors, however they also supply smaller distributors and I will make sure every local shop who’s email/phone number I get is contacted and if they want SD, they will get it.

Gotcha. I’ll PM you the name and number ASAP today.

Roll with It! 6309 Charlotte Pike Nashville, TN USA 37209 (615) 712-6586 I spoke to the owner and an employee and they sounded very interested in carrying some of your snuff. Please contact them or whatever and I’m sure they’d be another supplier on your list! -Rob (Transistor)

Here is the closest one to me. The Cigar Merchant, Pipes and Tobacco 809 NW 7 Hwy Blue Springs, MO 64014 (816) 224-4704 store@cigarmerchant.net thanks Rodrick edm

Thanks Transistor and Mustangii, I’ll make sure they are contacted.

The only local tobacco shop that carries snuff here is Cigar & Co Tobacco Room 7101 North May Avenue, Oklahoma City, OK 73116-3241 (405) 843-1010 ‎ They carry WoS, F&T so far… Would love to seem them carry this as well. I haven’t talked to the guy about it, but it couldn’t hurt.

Hi Roderick! I’ll get up to my local tobacconist this week to get a fresh stock of General (snus). I’ve asked him once in April, and he said he’d check and seemed familiar with P&K. I asked him a second time, in May/June and he looked genuinely sorry for forgetting. If it’s available to him, I’m hoping it will be there when I get there on Thursday or Saturday. I’ll report back soon…

I went to my local tobacconist (a 2 minute drive) to get some zippo flints and fluid. I was very happy to see every flavor of SD in stock!! So I got each one!! This is great! Thanks for your hard work on this line, and getting it into stores, Roderick. I love the product, and very happy my store is selling it now.

I saw it in Deadwood, South Dakota last week. It was in the tobacco shop; I forget what the shop was called (but it was about the only shop without slot machines in that tourist trap).

Lmao Deadwood is a real place??? Thought it was summat made up by Calamity Jane lol. Stefan

Love “Deadwood” … damn shame it cost too much to keep it going. But yes, Deadwood is a real and thriving place … and the majority of the tale and the characters are true … with liberties of the writer of course. Very interesting history to read about.

Any plans to get it into Canada? I can give you the contact info of my local B&M tobacconist. I would love to able to buy snuff over the counter even if it cost twice as much.

Id do anything to be able to get snuff into Canada. I just went to my tobacconist today and recommended they get some SD and they said they would try.

Good work, Brandasaur. I know McChrystal’s is sometimes available in Canada, but there seems to be a rumor among tobacconists that they “can’t order snuff”. I think this has to do with labeling, but my McChrystal’s has both English and Français on it, so it may be a matter of will on behalf of the companies. I hope Roderick can pull through!

And now I don’t think toxic constituents are a must have because my pipe tobacco doesn’t say them.

Neither does mine. Looking at a tin of Solani Flake, it only has the cigarette style warning sticker on the back. I have a house blend that came in a ziplock bag with no warnings at all!

@roho Is that the Tobacco Town off of Barbur? Seems it’s right off the I-5 and I may have to stop by and pick some up on my way back down from Wa to California.

Thanks Guys, I have forwarded these 3 on to Philips and King and they will contact the shops directly.

@TaylorD Yes. The store is on Barbur off I-5.

Silver Dollar has arrived in Ridgewood, NJ! The Tobacco Shop in Ridgewood, NJ USA is stocking Natural, Spearmint, Apricot, and Cherry. I don’t care for Cherry or Apricot, so I got a tin of Natural, and a tin of Spearmint. The Natural seems pretty much like Toque Natural. So not too much to add there. It’s very good. The Spearmint is a surprising treat. It’s got a lot more burn than I expected. It has, as would be expected from Roderick, a very naturally scented spearmint. It almost smells herbal and spearmint, in equal measures. I was also concerned that it would be a little flat, but I’m happy to report that it’s anything but flat.

Just picked some up earlier today here in Arizona. DJ’s Smoke Shop in Chandler. I really enjoy the spearmint and raspberry. Both have just a hint of menthol and will be replacing my Ozona for sure. A little drier and finer than Ozona, but I prefer this. I think the flavor is spot on, not to over powering. I also bought the natural but haven’t had a chance to try it out yet. Looking forward to it later this evening.

Ok , had a chance to try out the natural as well. Again, I am very pleased with the snuff. Like PuffPuff said very much like Toque Natural. One thing better about it though I just have to drive around the corner to pick it up… I do have one complaint though. The twist tins are horrible. Out of the three I bought only one would twist (even with pliers!!) I had to pry the top open with a screwdriver and put the snuff in my snuff box. This has to be the worst packaging I have seen yet on a snuff.

I had the same problem with 2 of the 3 tins I got. I used a set of channel locks to open the Spearmint tin. Very frustrating. Oddly enough the Dark Horse tins are dead ringers for the Silver Dollar tins and they (Dark Horse) work perfectly.

Man I want to try them. I love Toque Natural and Toque’s take on fruity menthols are pretty good. I’m totally jealous of you guys.

I stopped by the same shop @roho got his at, and picked up a Cherry and a Natural. Must say, the cherry is wonderful. Never having a menthol it was a bit over-powering at first, but since my nose has gotten a bit used to it I can smell the cherry a lot more. The natural is very “earthy” as a way to explain it. And I had the tin problem with this one. I found if you act like you’re pulling it apart while twisting, it works.

@Toque You should send a email to snuffstore.de or call them. It is by any way the biggest online shop for snuff in Germany and full in german language and believe me, it got a shitload of customers. So you could introduce your new snuff to the german market and i could easily buy SD By the way, they already carry Toque, i guess it could not be too hard to get SD into the shop too.

Please remember what Roderick first said Quote:- SD is for the North American market.

Correction SD is for the American market, no SD in Canada or Mexico

or Guatemala, Honduras, Bahamas, Jamaica, Bermuda, St. Piere et Miquelon, Greenland, etc, etc.

toque is world wide SD is for us depribed Americans. lol edm

Question for those who have tried the Apricot. Do you notice an odd butter scent towards the end? Not good butter ,but almost movie theater level butter. I find it ruins the whole experience for me. Just wondering if my nose is off…I know my mind is.

Sometimes snuff picks up odd scents. Sometimes even brands I like regularly will have some odd funk and I’am not sure if they came from the factory like that or if they picked it up somewhere. Don’t forget about my fish snuff, brought snuff to work and when I left it smelled like work which is to say fish. Just saying I’am hopeing that you just got unlucky.

Sounds a bit weird Bigmick? I can’t replicate a butter smell in any of the ones we have here. Can you smell it in any other snuffs?

bigmick, I get that from Poschl Apricot sometimes. Smells just like buttered popcorn at the cinema. Its inconsistent tho and I just assumed it was my senses toying with me.

@ Toque, I have not smelled butter in any other snuff. I mean if it was a toast it would make sense, but apricots and butter don’t seem to go together. I’m a huge fan of WoS Apricot and sorta like SG’s version. I had high hopes for this one, but it seems not this tin. I’ll buy another when my local shops stocks them.

I’m bumping this one up; just posted a review for all of the range that I found in my local Smoker Friendly store. @bigmick: definitely getting a buttery taste with that apricot, it reminded me a lot Mac’s Apricot.

@matsnuffs, I’m glad I’m not alone. I’m getting used to it, but it’s still very odd.

I was out running errands and checked a few of the small B&M shops around town. No sign of Silver Dollar and no one who ever heard of it. I called Phiilips & King and was told that they didn’t show any businesses in the Dallas area that had stocked any from them. In fact, the rep told me I was the first to ask about it. I also noticed P&K lists SG snuffs on their site. What’s the deal with that? I did score a good price on a tumbler of Honest and met some nice Pakistani people so it wasn’t a total miss.

Just picked up some SD Cherry and it was excellent. Almost some light menthol in there. At $6.99 a tin, I won’t buy it often but a: I was lucky to find something locally, and b: it was worth the price just to give it a try. I’ll try the apricot and original as well and hopefully buy it all off from the cigar shop at once for cheap since they don’t sell much of it. They had about 20 assorted blends including wintergreen and raspberry but it was all fresh. I would definitely recommend the cherry, fine grind, medium moisture. Easy to take. The scent stays in the nose for about 5-10 minutes, and if u pinch your nostrils, the flavor kinda comes back similar to Gawith apricot.

I have found a shop that sells here in Vegas while on vacation. I just got one raspberry but I’m going to hit up the other two Mr. Bills so I will probably pick up a couple other flavors too. Good stuff and good job getting it here. The only other shop here in Las Vegas that I would imagine might be worth soliciting to would be Tobacco Leaf. The jackpot of course would be to get them in the gas marts across the nation. Good luck Roderick.

I called Tobacco Outlet in Gresham, OR Today, they stock Silver Dollar and Garret. I’ve only been able to find a couPle different snuffs in local tobacco shops maybe I’ll pick up a tin. Probably would need to avoid menthol I can’t even use the two poschls I have. Tobacco outlet is on Northeast Division just West of Burnside in Gresham

Wow! $6.99 that’s steep. RRP is $3.99 and some sell as low as $3.49

@toque, yeah I know! If you could contact my more local tobacconist I’m sure they’d sell it to me for a reasonable price. If you’re interested: Coffman’s Tobacco Shop Palm Square Plaza 4320 SE Federal Hwy, No. 1 Stuart, FL 34997 772 287 5060

I wish I could Jrabevill, but they can charge what they like. We can only recommend a price, in a free economy the seller makes their choice and the customer either buys from them or buys from a cheaper competitor.

@toque, the Coffman’s tobacco store is a different one than the place I bought SD and they said they used to stock lots of snuffs, but they said they stopped because (and I still don’t quite understand it) but some sort of overseas trade agreement or something that changed it’s regulations recently and made it more costly for them to keep foreign stock like WoS and Poschl’s. Would they have any problems with getting SD from overseas or is it already here in the US?

Lol just re-read my post where I gave you their info and realized it sounded like I was asking you to call them and make them lower there price lol not at all what I meant. I meant you could contact them and see if they (a different store than where I bought it for $7) wanted to start selling SD because I’m sure they wouldn’t charge so much. Sorry for the confusion.

Got you. I’ll pass it on to the distributor and they will contact them.

Just picked up an Original, a Raspberry, and 2 Cherries from Lucas Pipe and Tobacco in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Total price (w/ tax) less than 20 bucks. I’ve tried 'em all, and like 'em all. The raspberry especially delightful.

Any plans to do anything about the tins? I have bought a second bunch of these snuffs and again the containers are all stuck! This is annoying enough that I will not purchase it again until the tins are fixed. The snuff is great but the tins are the worst I have seen.

The tins I have bought work just fine. I’m not particularly fond of this style, but they are hardly the worst tins ever. They are definitely several notches above the G&H and SG tapboxes.

Have some Natural, nice and wheaty, a little harsh from the back of the hand though.

We have been on to the manufacturer and the second batch have been improved. They will be available in the next few weeks. Please let me know what you think and if you have any faulty ones send me a photo of the fault and we will replace them. I have also found some faulty ones and I think they are approximately 10% of the first batch.

I followed up with one of the local smoke shops to see if they had made any progress. The guy tried but said he was unable to commit to P&Ks minimum order amount. If I ever find any I’ll try it out. Maybe I can take it up with Rick Perry.

Of the four tins I picked up (see above) both of the cherries are rather cranky. The other two (orig. & ras) are silk

SD is great snuff - beats Poschl hands down.

@Snuffster…Your opinion is biased by you relationship with Roderick. If they were to compete head to head in the U.S. Markets It would be very difficult. Poschl is simply not in the U.S. any more.

Juxtaposer; not at all, we have just become the number 1 European snuff company in the USA. SD is now available in 49 states. Plus I know Juxtaposer went to every state and ordered some. Thanks Juxtaposer.

@Toque: 49 States? Who’s the holdout? Can you tell me who carries in in Delaware, or are we the holdout?

@Toque Glad to hear that it has been addressed I will def give it another try. The snuff itself is perfect! Out of the 6 tins I purchased I have one that works correctly. 3 of them I had to remove the top with a pair of pliers and a screwdriver…haha. Maybe I am just really unlucky.

@juxtaposer - all opinions are biased, that’s what opinions are, otherwise we would be down to simply quoting facts, which would be a rather robotic way of living.

Roderick, Could you have this store contacted? Thanks, Cedar Point Tobacco Store 1046 Church Rd W # 108 Southaven, MS 38671-7140 USA (662) 280-7868

Roderick, I can’t find any stores in San Antonio, TX carrying snuff at all, much less your brands. Club Humidor is the biggest B&M in the area - maybe you could add them to your list of prospects? Thanks!

What other European countries are selling snuff in the U.S.A.? @Snuffster Biased as in your opinion is extraordinarily influenced as opposed to others. I guess it is my way of saying that you are special. Regardless, there is no way to discover that you are overstating the greatness of the SD line because Poschl is not selling in the U.S.A. anymore. It’s not that I am not liking the SD snuffs. 

Found all the silver dollar flavors at my local tobacco shop garcias in Burlington, VT. picked up the regular flav and some of the apricot.

I just tried apricot for my first time this morning, and damn it’s good.  The scent seems to last for a long time, and the hint of menthol opens me up so I can enjoy the flavoring more.

I completely agree dogwalla. Thumbs up for the apricot. I’ve been tapping it out all day. Only wish it came in something larger then the 5g containers I get around here.

I’ve never even seen or heard of it until I read this thread.  My local tobacco shop hasn’t heard of it either.

@SnuffMe621 I hear you.  So far, the Cherry and Apricot merit a 50g tub.  I haven’t tried my stash of the raspberry yet.  The Mint was also good, but I can no longer get it, so I’m being stingy with it =/

Yeah the rasberry one I’m picking up next week and the mint. Haven’t tried either. Looking really forward to the mint I just hope it’s not to strong. I like menthol but some I’ve had were alittle over powering and burned my nose. I think the hint of menthol is perfect in the apricot. First snuff I take when I wake and helps open up my nasal passages.

Here is a store in my town you should contact:

                                                                  Discount Smoke Shop

                                                                  708 N Bishop Ave # 1, Rolla, MO 65401-2917

(573) 368-4200 ‎ 

They are right by the campus of University of Missouri Science and Technology which has a ton of Indian students who might be interested in nasal snuff. They used to carry hookas and shisha and charcoal so they are not averse to carrying odd, (for Missouri), items. They do carry nasal snuff but only W E Garrett scotch and sweet scotch. Their website is:  

                                                                                        http://www.discountsmokeshop.com/

They are very nice snuffs if you like the Poschl type, especially the apricot and menthol ones.

Grant’s Pipe Shop in San Francisco has the Original and I want to say they had a non-tobacco version.  I picked up a tin of the Original there today and, I must say, I was pleasantly surprised, kind of wishing I’d picked up a couple more tins while I was there.

For anyone looking to order the silver dollar flavors within the usa my local tobacco shop carries them and I do believe the can ship them out u just got to order by phone. Just do s google search for garcias tobacco shop Burlington VT. They have a main website with all info. Any problems let me know and I have no problem shipping some out to n e one in USA.

@Toque You should send a email to snuffstore.de or call them. It is by any way the biggest online shop for snuff in Germany and full in german language and believe me, it got a shitload of customers.

@Toque Any locations in lower NY selling SD?  I’d love to try it, buy Ithaca is several hours away, and so far that’s the only place I’ve seen anything online advertising it.  

@Toque I think it may be a good idea to do some secretarial work and get information from your vendors as to who is stocking your Silver Dollar. That way you could make a list available to those interested.

I’m just dying to get SD in bigger containers.  These little 5g tins are killing me.

I hear u dogwalla. I got the 5g tin of apricot 4 days ago and almost out :((

And that Apricot is so damn good too.  Most apricots I’ve tried have that dried apricot flavor, this one seems to have more of a fresh-picked flavor that just keeps lasting.

I think I’ll have some right now!

I know. Ill take a pretty good pinch and the scent last for a long long time. It will come on strong for a good half hour and slowly fade out and I keep smelling apricot for the next hour or two.

my favorites are the natural, original and rasberry. I use them all regularly. it’s great that I can buy a classy snuff at the store now.

We talked to Philips & King about a stores list and they told me they are planning a dedicated SD website. This will have lots of good stuff about SD and list all the places where it can be bought.

For now the best system for people to get info is to contact P&K Customer Service or Sales.

@Toque That sounds grand. Congratulations on all your hard work at getting the U.S. some snuffs to buy across the counter. So now what are you up to? I mean I guess you could relax a little but I don’t think your that kind of guy. Keep us posted anyhow. It makes us happy!

Can’t say much right now but there are a couple of new developments in the pipeline which will be happening next year.

@Toque

I am looking forward to hearing it!

I’m intrigued…

I’m about done with another 5g of the Raspberry, and I will say this: After breaking the seal, I dumped the whole thing directly into an empty 10g Toque tin, and I’m much happier with the result.  The SD spinning tap box of leaking doom was making it dry out so damn bad that it was kinda ‘meh’ by the time I finished it.  Putting it in a good container has give me that fresh tin feeling for the entire 5g.  Y’all can do what you want, but I would recommend putting it in something that actually seals unless you’re going to use the whole thing in short order.

Next year…2012… only a week or two to wait    

Roderick–any B&Ms in Maryland carrying SD?? Haven’t seen it here yet, or in my local B&M, Fader’s.

Is there any way to get Silver Dollar by mail order? I live in Oz and there’s no way it’s going to be sold here any time soon.

We plan to open Silver Dollar Europe in 2012 I’m afraid that’s all I can say at the moment. mail order to Oz.

To get info on who sells or to pass on a B&M who should be contacted please contact P&K Customer Service or Sales.

Thank you!!

There is zero chance of any snuff becoming available for sale within driving distance of me.  Any chance of toquesnuff.com ever carrying SD?

Damn the silver dollar rasberry i picked up is addicting. Just polished off another tin. Only wish the nic level was more high but still good none the less!

I would love to get my hands on some SD.  I keep hearing all these great things about apricot.  If it’s that good I would like A LOT of it!  lol

@joesnuffer I could send u some unopened SD apricot if u want. Maybe u could do a video review. Pm me let me know

SD Apricot is just stupid good.  It and the cherry are my favorite addictions.

Mmmm…

@Dogwalla lol right! I’m enjoying a tin of the apricot right now! Can’t stop pinching this stuff! But why oh why did they only make them in 5 g tins!! I went to pick up cherry the other day but they were all out. I hope it’s as good as the raspberry! If it is I’m in for a treat! Time for another pinch!

I will review the hell out of it!  lol

@joesnuffer nice I’ll b looking for the video so I’m making my usual run to the tobacco shop tomorrow so I’ll b shipping u two tins then.

Anyone know where I can find Silver Dollar in the New York city area?

@giaach hey I live one state over from u. I can ship you some silver dollar if you want. Should only take a few days to get to you.

So to follow on from @Dogwalla’s post, is Silver Dollar prone to drying out quickly in those containers, like other English snuffs that are sold in tapboxes? I assume they can’t use paraffin oil like Germany’s Poschl, as I seem to remember there being a legal issue about English snuffs not being allowed to have that. So how long does SD stay fresh for if kept in the original container?

@Sloth I have found they dry out and leak even worse than the others.  The resign of the rotating tin just pours snuff out of every crack, and the air gets in there really easy.  I usually open 1 - 2 tins at a time of the same flavor (which come sealed) and dump them into a 10g Toque tin.  My little stockpile is stored in an airtight jar, just in case the seal isn’t as good as it appears to be.  The container is the only gripe I have with the product.  Skoal Snus containers work well at storing the stuff too.

@giaach:  I’ve been wondering that myself.  Perhaps I’ll swing over to the Skyway Mini-mart on 2nd Ave that stocks Northerner’s snus and see if I could talk the manager into carrying it next weekend.  Would that be a convenient spot for you to grab a couple tins in the city?  Don’t want to set the guy up to have nothing moving.  He seems to do a good trade in Odens Extreme, though.  Either that, or Northerner is failing at getting him stock, because he’s been out of it every time I go there for the last couple months. They might be open to selling it.

@shikitohno yeah I’d probably buy a tin or two to check it out but as of now I couldn’t tell you if I’d be buying a ton of it. And by the way, I had no idea you could get northerner snus or odens here in the city, I figured you had to order pretty much everything except general snus online.

Nope, you can buy Jaks, Thunder, Offroad, Odens, and General at the Minimart at the north side of (I think) 5th street and 2nd avenue.  If not, it’s up a block at 6th street.  89 2nd avenue.  There’s also a place at 204 Bedford Ave, down in Brooklyn that stocks Northerners stuff.  I recall it being a couple blocks walk from the L station nearby.  There’s also a place out in Astoria, but I never really go to Queens these days, so I’m not familiar with it.  At the one on 2nd Ave, its $7 a tin for Jaks, and $8 a tin for everything else though, so beware of the steep price as a result of buying it in the city.  They also stock small tins of Bruton’s there, and Days Work plug, if you’re interested. 

@shikitohno well I’ll be damned, a friend of mine lives right over there.  I should have guessed the east village would be the best place to look for something “different” like snuff or snus.  I always go to Barclay Rex near grand central to get snus or pipe tobacco.  I think I’ll have to check this mini mart out instead.

For any Kansas folks, there is a store in the West Kellogg Mall in Wichita (I think it is called Shesha) that carries the line. The raspberry is lretty much to die for. It is too bad the tins are only 5 grams, but hopefully if sales are great they’ll expand the offerings.

Several shops here in Seattle carry SD. In fact it was the first snuff I had since it was local.

@SnusAlarm I was visiting KS (I’m from Oklahoma) and was it was such a nice surprise to see the Silver Dollar in the Shesha shop at that mall. I bought one of each ($2.99) and I agree the raspberry is delicious! 

Still no Silver Dollar at the one shop here in Oklahoma City that sells snuff.
