I’m dissapointed I can’t give Tom my money anytime soon. In my double sided box I ALWAYS have one side of Rooster, and the other a mix of Three Thisles strong, Dholakia White, and a little Toque. I’m curiouse if anyone has tried to travel in/out of the US with snuff. I’m headed to the D.R. in December and don’t know how it’ll go over in customs. Any ideas? Thanks.
there are already some links about snuff and air travel. That will answer you question quicker then we will.
Coffee hasn’t kicked in yet, and I’m off to my day… Where may I find these links?
Use the search feature.
Thanks. Now that the coffee is at work, I feel even more an idiot than normal.
@mcguyver75, that’s strange. I’ve never felt an idiot after drinking coffee. You sure you’re OK? On a serious note, we all make mistakes, it’s human. Some of us, like me, are just more human than other humans.
@mcguyver75. “I’m dissapointed I can’t give Tom my money anytime soon.” Once you are outside the US you can order from Tom at Nicotinerush. I have just put an order in from the UK. Lots of American snuffs still in stock and a lot cheaper than buying in the UK, even with postage from the US. Maybe he will still have some in December. Just a thought.
I flew from Denver, Co to Charlotte, NC to Phillipsburg, Sint Maarten with 3 tins in my pocket, they never bothered to look inside the tins. This happened both ways too. so Interstate and International flights are no problem in my experience. But yours might bary depending on the security’s attitude that day.
I hate when the airport security barys my snuff. The bastards (I just want to create a new word, no harm intended.
yea, yea. my eye hand coordination seems to be lacking. Hope that condition doesn’t flare up when I have a pinch of Dholakia White in my hand.
Where is Sint Maarten? Sorry can’t be arsed to google it I’m drunk lol. Stefan
@ Walrus: It’s on the other half of St. Martin. I’m not joking.
Netherlands Antilles. Caribbean.
Thanks for the info guy’s. I’ll make sure to take my snuff in smash boxes, and a 1.15 can of Rooster so I don’t lose my better boxes. I just hope they don’t think the powder is dope. I sure won’t be taking my Dholakia White with. The thing is, if it’s in tins, they probably just consider it “lip” snuff. I suppose I could put it in empty Touqe tins as they have a “screw” top. I’m just dissapointed that I can’t buy from Tom (from Florida to Wisconsin) as he gave me a lot of great advise when I started consistantly using snuff. I’ll figure out a way like was suggested above. By December when I’m in the D.R. it wouldn’t be efficient for me to order snuff from Florida to be shipped south then carry it on a plane back to Wisconsin. I only feel like an idiot for lot looking in SEARCH before I asked the initial question in this post. My problem with coffee is I have anxiety issues as it is, so when the coffee kicks in I almost need a xanax right away. Trick is keeping the coffee intake low so I don’t need the meds. The other day I overdid it while fishing by smoking a wonderful Drew Estates Dirt Torpedo cigar while still keeping my snuff intake up. I almost got sick. That, was stupid. In June, when Tom was so nice to me, I made sure I sent him several kinds of my favorite cigars. NOTE: I have two small humidors full of quality cigars right now and I’m only smoking 2 or three a week. About $500 worth in stock. If anyone would like to trade a few good cigars for a sample of White Elephant, let me know. I’ve got ton’s of different Drew Estate and Gurka brands.
no problem for me with the not searching first. It happens all the time. It’s just often much faster to find what you want if you use the search feature.
I use google constantly. Just wasn’t thinking; however all the responses here pretty much answered my question. I’ll just use my empty Toque tins, this way if it’s taken I won’t be out too much, and it is still snuff so customs hopefully won’t think it’s dope.
If they think it’s dope they’ll be very disapointed during their break that day.
Yes, while I’m being abused from behind until they test it.
Never had any problems, including in and out of the States. The only time I got asked about it was in the UK once and when I told the customs officer what it was she asked me where she could get hold of snuff as she wanted to stop smoking. This is a fairly frequent thread - Ive come to the conclusion that the customs folks are pretty clued up. We tend to think we are the only people that travel with snuff but it must be quite common given the growing popularity.
Good. I know around my area my father and I are the snuff pushers. Smoking finally was banned in bars back in June, not a lot of people around here like snus, although I use it heavily when I’m working or hunting. The bar owners are getting sick of people spitting on floors. (When I tended bar I would always use two plastic cups with napkins so no-one had to look at the nasty.) Some people are taking on to the snuff, I’ve gone through 60 or so “sample” vials to give away. I’m sure once I get to the larger cities more people will be more used to seeing it.
