Ive noticed in my city that most places have gone from $25+ for a tin of dip to less than $20. They have banned smoking in all parks, 10 meters from any door and no places in any buildings. Cigarette prices are going up, a good pack of smokes costs $9-$11. I think more people are choosing smokeless tobacco, they are even out of lots of kinds at gas stations, which never happened a few months ago. I dont think it will be long before snuff arrives!
Silver dollar should be here shouldn’t it??
Not in Canada… I dont think
@brandasaur … man, that is rough … higher than NYC prices!
I never understood why they charge 20 dollars for a 1.2oz, 7-8 for a 15g tin right? It’s more amazing people pay it for plastic tins that are probably stale and don’t somehow get it from the states when you can get a tin of cheap dip for under a dollar pretty easily in a lot of states. Since you already have reached 1 in 4 cigarettes smuggled I’d think they’d worry about that.
Those prices are insane. I’ve been paying a little over $3.00 for a 1.2 oz (34g) can of skoal. Not to mention their website offers a $1.00 off coupon a week. If I’m not mistaken, Pennsylvania doesn’t tax smokeless.
@ Vathek re Cellar Door, been there. Get out of London, Come up north and the prices are a lot cheaper. Snuff is plenty-full.
What snuff do they sell?
it is really expensive, i mean, i am in Germany and my smokeless tobacco cost me less then these prices
“And with an innovative but retro way of getting around the smoking ban, they also sell lines of variously flavoured snuff.” Love it!! I hope that will spread!
You can get a 25g tin of snuff round here for about £2.70-£3.30, depending what it is. Stefan
$20 for a tin of dip? Are you sure you don’t mean a roll of tins!? A tin of dip here in the Midwest USA is $2-6.
@Pike Mopers no, he means 1 (one) can of dip. i know it is hard to believe but it seems that Canada is somehow a nightmare for tobacco lovers.
Canadian tobacco tax is ridiculous. A pack of cigs is over $10 and pipe baccy is $25 for a 50g tin, I thank god that I can get my baccy from other countries where it is much cheaper. @Brandasaur why don’t you order your dip from Northerner its like 3 or 4 bucks a tin and they have a HUGE selection
I’m from Herefordshire, but I currently live near Sheffield, Yorkshire (returning home with the family in the summer). There is a news agents at the end of my road that sells O&G in medium and large tins and has the tins of Hedges but thats it. Im intollerant to mentol (I almost exclusively snuff SPs), so this isnt much good to me. They charge about £3.70 for the Hedges but I dont know about the O&G. There is a place in town that I know of that has J&H Wilsons Top Mill regularly and gets those assortment boards of the WoS small tins sometimes, but thats usually a selection of menthols aswell 
They sell the WoS tins for £1.50 which isnt bad, and I think £1.20 for the Top Mill. I don’t really frequent high street shops much so I don’t know of anywhere else, God Bless MrSnuff is all I can say!
If dip cost me that much, I would probably rob a corner store or steal a semi full of it, before I paid 20 dang dollars for a tin of dip. What good does that do for anyone in Canada to have the tax so high? I don’t get it.
Since January 1978, to comply with EEC (EU) regulations, the Customs and Excise duty was completely removed from snuff tobacco. As the ad valorem tax had already been removed by the Chancellor in 1976 snuff became very cheap indeed. Unfortunately the former tax is back at 20% in the UK. Even so, it’s still good value for money when compared to other tobacco products. A pound in weight costs about 27-30 quid.
160 a week @ 10 bucks a tin thats more than 100g a day, even if you smoked the pipe 24/7 I don’t think it is physically possible to smoke that much
Oh you were talking about cigs, I thought you were talking about pipe baccy
$13 for a pack of cigarettes, yikes! I remember late 1970s when the price broke $1.00 a pack here (USA). I switched to the cheaper ones; my friends thought I was being eccentric.
