Hello, long time snuff user, rarely post… but am a little confused. I have seen various videos from people like Uncle Squinty in the US, and posts here etc… and have become confused about how the May restrictions will affect me as a UK resident. Am I right in thinking the only thing I/we will face in the UK is a partial restriction on the flavours some people will produce because of the cost of the paperwork? Most flavours will still be available correct?
There is no ‘ban’ to the EU is there or anything like that?
Thank you - to be honest this has got me worried a little. I stopped a 40 a day habit (at its worst) in 2012, and sucessfully moved to snus and snuff… I have to bloody illegally get snus, I hope that doesn’t happen to snuff too!
MrSnuff/Snuffstore ,Snuffme, MySmoking Shop , Toque and Sharrowmills will continue to deal online snuff for our UK market.
Wilsons of Sharrow and Samuel Gawith/Gawith Hoggarth stay in business with a much reduced range .
Beyond that , I have no idea how many types they will be able to actually sell us in June . There’s a list up somewhere of the remaining traditional British snuff . It’s the exotic imports I worry about and the wide choice of flavours . Personally , I ve been stocking up on my more esoteric tastes and learning DIY scenting .
The UK Vaping industry has been preparing for the TPD for years …the snuff industry was blindsided and has only had a few months .
Don’t panic! There’s still plenty of snuff retailers in the UK, and Toque and Wilsons of Sharrow supply direct from the mill. Some of the product ranges have been greatly reduced due to registration fees, but if you’re just starting branching out now, that just means you won’t mourn the passing of old favourites. I just made a post earlier today in another thread, which lists 40 snuffs that I’m a fan off which are still in production and freely available. The only reason I only hit 40, is because I don’t like medicated snuffs, or toasts and other superfine grinds. There are still well over 100 different snuffs still made in the UK alone, never mind the American, Indian, German, and other offerings out there. Your nose will not go wanting
Thank you for the reassurance… it all just seems crazy! It also seems crazy why manufacturers are cutting their range… why not ONLY make in one size tin and only sell in the UK? THEN some dodgy chap (or lady) could set up a website where they could ship to the EU countries illegally? Like al the snus companies do?
If you’re only slightly confused, it sounds like you’re way ahead of everyone else, including the manufacturers and the regulators. It sounds like nobody really knows what the hell is going on.
@Roderick any plans on bringing in an artisan Toque range in the future? A range of expensive premium snuffs hand crafted all the way through the manufacturing process?
@dutch_pipe_smoke I sent an email over the weekend asking if paketshops within DE are okay - I am quite close to the German border and for me that would be something of a solution
My friends on my home pipesmokers forum asked officials of czech-greman packet shops if is for them handling packets contains tobacco and they say: No problem for us unless it over 1 kg of tobacco. Jack
I heard back from Snuffstore (and also cigarworld) that shipping to paketshops etc is not an issue at all. I can take the train to Germany fairly quickly and then pick up the goodies.
So PACT made you move out of the US and now TPD is making you move out of the UK, where are you going next? Definately not Canada the price of snuff would quadruple if you moved here.
@Roderick. Can you just make a limited Toque EU brand or something so that you can still sell to EU market while still keeping the other flavors for the rest of the world ?
