As a newbie here, I may have missed this if it was an earlier topic. I have gathered from some of your posts where some of you call home (at least your country…sometimes your slang gives it away). But where specifically do you live? As for me, I have always lived in Wilmington, Delaware, USA. Wilmington may be known to some of you as the home of the DuPont company and also as a banking center. What some of you know, and others do not, is that once we were famous for snuff! Just five miles up one of the creeks that waters our city (Red Clay Creek) is the village of Yorklyn, where the original Garrett Snuff Mill was built way back in the early 1700’s. I do not know the history very well (I think Troutstoker does) but at some point it belonged to Helme. This I do not understand as Garrett is now made by Conwood but Swisher retains the Helme name. Anyway, as a snuff beginner I have not graduated to the level where I can try Garrett’s yet anyway, but I’m working on it! The name lives on in Snuff Mill Road, which runs from Centerville to Yorklyn about a quarter mile south of the Pennsylvania border, which it roughly parallels. Its my favorite bicycle road for its long hill. So again, where are the rest of you guys? I travel quite a bit, so its not impossible that I may have passed through or near your home. I’m also a geography buff, so finding your spot in the atlas is fun for me.
Xander, a world map with names and places is available but I cannot remember where to find it. I’m pretty sure one of the more clued-up members will soon give you the details. I live near Cape Town South Africa and it seems as if I’m the only snuffer in Africa!! Cheers
Here’s the map http://www.frappr.com/snuffusers
I live in a suburb of East London, on the edge of the county of Essex.

And I’m in Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire UK.
You can also link to the map from snuffreviews.com here. I am from Pioneer, CA
Well, thanks for the link to the map, guys. I can’t get it to scroll, though, and on my connection, It’s actually quicker to pull out my atlas!
You should just be able to click on a section of map & while holding down on the mouse, you can drag the map around.

lxskllr, you are the closest thing I have to a neighbor so far (and according to the map). Any good snuff in your parts?

Yep, Food Lion has an amazing selection of american snuffs. I live in Oxford, PA. BTW. ~Snuffy
Ok then Snuffy, you are now my closest neighbor! I had I high school teahcer from Oxford. We should get together sometime. Food Lion, eh? I’ll give them a go. I think they are only downstate DE and in Maryland, though. Nearest one may be Elkton, MD. I have yet to finish scouring the local tobacco shops. I’ve only been to the closest, which carries Swisher Tops Sweet, and Tops Mild Scotch. I tried the Sweet so far, but I have a lot of snuff here from recent mail orders. I have a hard time explaining to my wife a good justification for looking for more. I have 2 mail orders I’m waiting to place and a half dozen shops I want to visit. Why can’t I get enough snuff? Did you guys all go through this when you started?
Definitely nice to have someone close by that uses snuff. If there were only a few more in the area, we could all get together and have some sort of snuff partaking party. Heh. You mentioned the Food Lion in Elkton. Would you be coming from 896 through Newark to 40? If so and that Food Lion doesn’t carry snuff, take 40 a bit farther into North East, MD. The Food Lion there has a great selection. ~Snuffy
Thanks Snuffy. My uncle lives in North East. Next time I visit I’ll make a stop at Food Lion.
South East London too!
Baltimore MD, Food Lions here are chock full of American snuffs too. Considering some of the neighborhoods, I can’t imagine who’s buying these besides me…:?
