I read about snuff. Here is the some news from different years with pictures: Passenger cought with more than 2000 packs of snuff at the airport! 

Damn…they caught my mule.

Did he tape all that to his body? lol

I’d love to see someone swallow all that just to get it through customs. Not that I’d buy any from them.

In which country did this occur?

This is why Pöschl is bestseller in Turkey Most of them destruct by customs. PS: Only 50 gram snuff is permitted per pasenger at once.

I’m really surprised that we haven’t seen some new members who work as customs inspectors…

need some apricot snuff, perique?

How much profit on 2000 packs ,Not worth the risk .2 million packs now you’re talking >:)

Why would they? They get enough from their work.

i think 1 dollar profit for 1 tin is enough for expenses of flight and accomodation in Germany

The question, “Why?”, comes to mind.

The question, “Why?”, comes to mind.

Why not? I think to try to make a profit. If it can be stolen there is a chance it will be and, sold. Why did some one bootleg Twilight?

I guess if it was stolen haha.

actually the reason is: Many turkish workers have migrated to Germany in 60-70’s and they have been addicted to snuff and returned to Turkey after they retired but in Turkey neither snuff production nor an importer/seller. Snuffers request snuff from their relatives who live in Germany to bring snuff. Some small shops are also trying to bring snuff upon the demand by ordering from some individuals like passengers or truck drivers between two countries. Some of the carriers are caught at the airports or at customs. Unfortunately only the snuffs at the picture are available locally.

Notice also the electronics- duty on the mobiles and cameras alone could be a few hundred, if not more.

Is snuff illegal in Turkey?

Snuff is legal but it is a forgotton type of tobacco. I think snuff will gain popularity due to the smoking restrictions. I see also swedish snus is explored by many people in recent years. Snus is also legal but again no importer or seller

hmmmhmhm… internet retailers?

It is sad that no internet retailers located in Turkey.

@linguist, I think that’s the point with Internet retailers: it’s not where they are located, it’s can they ship to you? Mrsnuff manages to get snuff to me in Indonesia, so he’d probably be able to manage Turkey.

@JacartaBoy there is no problem with online sellers. All of them ship to Turkey. Above picture shows individuals with bulk snuff trying to trade without tax. (only a few of them are caught)

Those are actually the only 3 snuffs availablr in Spain… Whrere they are actually really cheap… Turkey you say?

Yes, Turkey. Sometimes they have no lot code behind the boxes especially which have cracks on the back under the label, i think these are the packeges which couldn’t pass the quality control. Also some of them lebeled in russian probably come from slovenia.
