I’ve received my copy, water logged in transit but still readable, and enjoyed reading every single page. I want to recommend this publication to each and every serious snuffer. Old books on snuffing is impossible to come by. Ephemeris fills that gap to a large extend. Edit: I wasn’t paid or promised a free copy of the magazine to place this “add”!!!
It was fairly good and I am looking forward to the next copy. Only real issue was the quality of the magazine, an issue which the publishers addressed and I’m sure will improve in the next issue.
I’m disappointed to have missed out on getting one. That’s what happens when you go too long without reading posts on snuffhouse. Anyone want to sell a copy?
Pieter, we will try to find some waterproof shipping method next time. Sorry. Thank You for the kind words.
Praise! Just got the new issue #2 in the mail today. And I have to give praise as visually and pressing-printing wise, it is really nice, and a big advance from issue #1, which was wonderful in itself. I have only skimmed it over so far, and it looks very interesting, and I can’t wait to read it. Great job Ephemeris!
A wonderful periodical. I won’t spoil it for those who haven’t read it yet, but its great. I display it with pride in my house.
Man, I’m glad you guys like it! The very first letter we received about Volume II said “bring back the stapled edge!” so I was worried everyone would hate the square binding. Thankfully that was the only complaint we’ve had so far… @Tc: which story was that, The Naked Snuser? That one was too good to pass up! 
To echo what snuffpub said…Thank you for the compliments. The only complaint I heard is some of the print was really small. I thought it was fine after I put on my specs…
I read the Young’s chew interview. I had a curiosity of herbal chew for a short while, and I bought some Smokey Mountain, and I swear, I hated it. After that, I lost all interest in herbal snuff(dip), I have since quit real dip/chew anyway, but I have been having a crave for some los snus, I don’t have any.
I just received my copy and I prefer this binding over the staples used in the first issue, it looks more professional this way. You guys did a great job on this issue, a vast improvement over issue 1 and I love the fact that you hand signed and numbered them. I’ll be sure to get issue 3 as soon as its available.
@Tc- don’t feel bad, I hate the Daily Mail too. We used them as a source because they had the “juciest” quotes, but the bulk of the article came from a recent issue of Newsweek (which itself is just as bad as Daily Mail!)
I did notice that some of my pages were coming loose a bit, but definitely prefer the square binding. Can’t make everyone happy!
The STE is really a great read. I love it. I will get every issue from here on out. I want to get the 1st issue when they reprint, since I missed it the first time around.
@mat- was yours one of the first day printings? They warned me that some of them would end up that way if I added the title page like I did (they had to use two different glues or something), but most of them seemed OK. Let me know if you’d like another copy. The reprint goes on sale April 1st, for all of the folks keeping score.
Nice article Nigel. I found myself reliving fond memories of my first adventurers in the world of snuff!! Much like your accounts, I still have not seen anyone purchase snuff nor do I personally know anyone who snuffs, that I didnt first persuade to give it a bump!! I remember when typing snuff into the search engines got you nothing but some freaky porn channel… I to can understand your joy, when finally snuff tobacco caught up to the modern world of old world aficionados like yourself… For the editor of STE. I also prefer square bindings with magazines of this size the have a nice eye appeal!! Good Job Boys keep up the Great work!!
sounds interesting
@Snuffpub The first issue looked quite amateurish, but was a great read, this issue looks the dogs bollocks and is a great read keep up the good work, this is what I call a magazine. Excellent stuff. Stefan
I for one, being a naysyayer at the beginning, have to say that I was pleasantly proven wrong!! This was quite an attractive lil book(thinkin’ bout takin’ her out on a date). It was a great read, with just the right mixture of humor and seriousness…plus I love the sense of humor, it’s almost like a more highbrow version of MAD!! I will definitely be a lifetime reader, but I hope you guys get it worked out to accept yearly subscriptions, cuz I’m just lazy as shit. All in all, great job guys, and keep em comin!!! Hopefully nobody caught that little accidenatal reveal of the mystery writer…so I’ll just say great job fella…you act like you know how to write!! =)
I received a first day print and also had an issue with one page being loose, but it doesn’t even matter because this magazine is wonderful. You could double the price and print it on newsprint and I would still buy it, it is a great thing to find reading material actually tailored to my interests. Now if I could only find a motorcyle magazine not oriented towards Harleys, sportbikes, or choppers…
I missed the first issue but have just ordered a copy of the latest magazine. With all these great reviews it looks as if I won’t be disappointed! Will the reprint of the first issue be square bound as well?
