Here in Switzerland, the average pack of cigs costs 5-7 francs, 50g of pipe tobacco is around 6 francs and 25g of O&G costs 16 francs (about £12 UK pounds)!!! US dollars and Swiss francs are nearly the same value, so you can see what a frigging rip off this stupid country is. They tax the healthiest tobacco product the highest. It makes me so angry.
Good grief. I thought 8 quid for 25 gs of Smith’s Golden Cardinal was the absolute limit. How do they explain this policy?
Canada prices… A pack of name brand cig’s $10 easy. we also have " no name brands for $6 and they taste like shite!) A tin of chew … $8-$10 Snuff… the only snuff I can find in my area, other than what I order, is McCrystals and that;s $5 for a 10g tin.
@Peter they charge the same tax for snuff ad they do for snus and both types of tobacco are taxed the same and the highest. It’s like the policy makers see snuff as the same as snus. Frickin’ retards.
Sorry to hear that. Snuff is very good solution in UK, but please keep that a secret from any interfering nanny you meet.
@nightcap : Man you got lucky, I found a tapbox of Poschl Gawith Apricot, 10g for $10 ! It’s robbery!
Just paid over $6 per can for General Snus, in Colorado mind you. All states of the US tax differently. In my native Nebraska, a can of dip is less than $5 for Skoal and Cope. I think cigs that don’t taste like burning moldy shite are around $4.50 or so, but I don’t pay attention. When I find snuff, its usually a rip-off. $5 for a 5g Ozona.
I found some snuff out here in Nashville TN. USA. It was 3 bucks for a Cherry or Raspberry 10g S.G. tapper and a cherry Ozona 5g tapper for 2.50 or so. Not bad. I also found Bruton’s 2.75 oz for $8 at a store here. Not bad either I don’t think… that was a couple months ago. Now all I can find is Bruton’s in 1 and 2.75 oz tubes. We need more selection. I wouldn’t mind being able to find some Maccoboy or other sweet scotches in my area if anyone could send me in that direction… lol
Be glad, Canadian smokes are about $10, I smoke winstons which are $12. Chew is like $27, dip is $25 and 50g of pipe tobacco can be $20. I cant find ANY snuff out here in BC.
just order your snuff online. never had to pay taxes for snuff. snus is a different matter though. 35 francs for opening the package and calculating how much taxes i have to pay annoys me way more then the actual taxes.
Where you been GB?! Still riding those two wheelers? Good to see ya! My last Northerner order was a hard one to swallow on the shipping and tax cost…but for me, it’s once in a great while.
@transistor the selection of scotches here is awesome everything from rooster to all the tops and cornwoods’ about 3.99 for the 1.15oz tubes for all of them. wanna trade some good euro snuff for some scotches? that would be awesome! I can’t find anything by any euro companies here in s.c at all.
Transistor check the small grcoery stores in your area like, Food Lion. Mine in the Knoxville area have a pretty good selection of sweets and scotches.
Oh, don’t worry, the price of snuff here in the USA will go through the roof shortly. Every time I latch on to a new habit the powers that be decide to raise the tax so they can get more of my money. They did it with my cigs, and they did it with my snus, not to mention the other stuff I get enjoyment out of. Now that I use snuff and an ecig it’s only a matter of time. The Government folks are really quite reliable.
@snuffeysouthcarolina The selection of Scotches is indeed one of SC’s redeeming attributes! It’s so nice to be able to walk into a store, throw down a few bucks and walk out with a tube of Bruton! I can’t seem to find Rooster anywhere in my area though, you lucky dog. =) @OscarWabbit I feel for you buddy, up until now I thought the price of tobacco in the US was ridiculous! About $4.50 for smokes, dip, and chew. Snuff prices are maybe $1 cheaper than that. I guess hearing how bad others have it really makes you realize how bad it could be!
Sup Bart,good to see you too. yeah im still riding I was never gone, just kinda felt like everything about snuff was said, but my interest in snuff raised again so Im back actively.
@rridenour Seriously, thanks man! I’ll definitely do that! @snuffeysouthcarolina Dude, I’ll do that. Send me a PM on here with your address and a list of the snuffs you’d consider trading and I’ll reply with the same!
Transistor if it is not obvious at food lion in their main case look off to the side for another case that is where I found mine. The main case just had garrett while the case on the side had quite a bit of everything.
ok I will thanks
Well here in England it is roughly £6 for 20 fags, and today I paid £10.82 for 50g of Condor pipe tobacco in a local supermarket. Absolute bloody rip off like everything else in this damn country. We should all stop smoking, drinking and driving for a week and see how the government would react to that. Stefan
