@cpmcdill I think most of them are discontinued , its just left over stock and I am sure they still have quiet a bit of stock in supply theres just not a big enough demand here in the states anymore for the tobacco stores to keep a full stock , the ones that do stock some only stock the best sellers , I know of stores sending it back to the company for fefunds. G’Day
The store I went to carried none, but were kind enough (!) to order them from the distributor who in turn ordered them from Swisher. It is possible that this is Swisher stock that they are no longer manufacturing, but it left the manufacturer less than 2 weeks ago. I hope Swisher wouldn’t be sending out discontinued stock but you never know.
In any case I have a half used 46 year old tin of Navy Plain which was found behind drywall (plaster and lathe to be accurate) and it is still awesome. It makes me chuckle to think of the plasterer shutting his tin of snuff in behind a wall, looking at his handiwork and realising what he had done. A classic “Oh shit!” moment.Â
@MrSnuff  You are correct Sir, as I have vintage scotches from the 60’s that is still very good snuff , as they are using plastic cans now that seal much better than the old tins did it will keep for years & years if kept in a dry place , if a person finds and old tin can of snuff that has not rusted to bad & puts it in a glass jar it will continue to keep just fine. I bought a bunch of snuff in tins several years ago and put it in glass jars & it is just as good as it was when I bought it.
I can get most of these at my local tobacco store & the ones he don’t stock he will special order for me if I pay up front. This is great news for those across the pond though.
@TigerJackshere, same here. The oldest Scotch I have is some Superior from 1952. Some bottles had pinholes in their caps but they were stored upside down, so carefully removed the top 3/4" and it was fine. Still had great tobacco aroma. Insane for 64 year old snuff
I wonder if the folks at Swisher are scratching their heads over an uptick in sales? I have bought over a case of Superior from my local grocery store. I buy one can every time I stop in. If we include MrSnuff and other domestic buyers, sales have to be up.
I seem to recall an old thread, probably from one of the earlier iterations of Snuffhouse, where someone wrote that they contacted a marketing rep from Swisher about what snuffs were still available and how to get them, and after some delay the rep wrote back that he (or she) didn’t even know Swisher still made the dry snuffs and it took some calls to find out where it was even being manufactured and shipped out from.
i just got my scotches in the mail and they shipped from the U.S. i think. i got an email from someone i dont know with a tracking number. i was wondering what it was. in the package was the scotches and the shipping address was from Chicago. i also ordered some F&T and Dholakia White with it but they were not in the package. I’m guessing i will get another package from mr snuff and it will come from across the pond
Usually all the snuffs from America are shipped from USA I’ve gotten Swisher’s,Railroad Mills etc…also Toque USA blends all shipped from USA.Which was a little bit faster if You live in America.The other Blends from UK,etc… came a week after.
If you live in the states one of your local tobacco stores should be willing to order some for you at about half the price, although you may have to order a case to get them to do it if they don’t already stock it. I know I picked up 3 cans of Honey Bee today at 6 dollars a can & they stock several types of scotches.
I tracked down the the local swisher rep a couple of years ago and had him order me a case of Railroad Mills Maccoboy. A old time favorite. By the way I just came back after a couple years away from this site and just read about this EU thing, sad!! So I just placed a order with Dave 154$ but it wont last me. My Viking dark is my fav and I buy it 500 g at a time.Well Happy Snuffing Holidays !!!
