Well I was about to make a pipe tobacco order for Smokingpipes.com and well it seems that you can still order nasal snuff from them as they use UPS and not USPS. Not as large a selection as nicotinerush, mr. snuff. etc but still I can’t be the only person who has stumbled upon this.

Nice site. I have a slight interest in pipes and cigars, but I live in a smokefree home, and don’t like the idea of having to sit on the porch, so I haven’t pursued it. The occasional Djarum or cigg is all I do.

Tom 502, Beware. Although pipe SMOKING is probably the most economical way of smoking tobacco, there is a rather large, and in some cases, permanent acquisition period, which could be greatly inflated and complicated by forum reading, and can become very expensive, in the long and even, short term. SMOKING can evolve into COLLECTING, which we all know can evolve into an OBSESSION. lol On the other hand, a Missouri Meerschaum cob pipe is a very cheap and excellent smoker, and a tin of tobacco is comparable to an entire box of 20 full-size cigars, in terms of actual smoking time.

I don’t think I’ll do it.

I’d love to buy a pipe just to try the 1792 pipe tobacco, I just don’t think my wife would be too happy about that one. I know cigars are exempt from the PACT, Isn’t pipe tobacco exempted as well?

I think Pipe is exempt. Fortunately I never have to order pipe tobacco as we have such a great tobacconist walking distance from my office. Ken

I’ve noticed that all of you are only seeing that you can buy Pipe Tobacco on Smokingpipes.com but the reason I made this thread was to highlight ones ability to still purchase snuff from them.

1792 is a very tasty pipe tobacco! Shame I have none on hand at the moment…

@giaach : mmm speaking of pipes, i should get me some GL Pease from there… lol no seriously has anybody tried to place a SNUFF order with them? did it it worked? Ra.

My first couple of snuff orders were from them and I received them no problem, but I’m in Canada. All my snuff seemed fresh except the GH tins were real old. They were caked in dust and all bone dry, even the ones that are supposed to be moist so don’t buy GH snuff from them.

I don’t see why you couldn’t buy snuff from SmokingPipes.com, as long as it is shipped via UPS. AFAIK, PACT only applies to USPS shipments, and even there enforcement appears to be quite lax. And yes, pipe tobacco seems to be exempt from the ban. I’m not sure that shops like Mars Cigars and pipesandcigars.com would be able to stay in business without their online sales, a lot of which is from pipers, and they seem to be surviving.

PSS, you bring a good point, but let’s not forget about the FDA. Non of them (English snuff) has been approved yet.

Well I just made a pipe tobacco order from them including some Gawith & Hoggart Jockey Club and some F&T Santo Domingo. Sould be here on monday, Ill let you know about the snuffs. F%$@ PACT ha!

it seems tho they have a bunch of out of stock items… hey let us know please how did the G&H was…n9inchnails stated that his GH was real old… Ra.

@bipolarbear1968: So in the meantime, we continue to order from UK snuff vendors, and give the one-finger salute to both the FDA and Congress. Maybe one day they’ll realize the folly of forcing US citizens to send their hard-earned dollars overseas.

What they rake in from ciggs at the local gas stations makes the few snuffs ordered from overseas like pennies on the street.

@PSS- Yep, that’s right! …and still have it delivered via USPS. I don’t give the feds/postal service enough credit to know their a-holes from their elbows.

If they are not collecting tobacco tax for your state, they are breaking the law. I’m sure its all old stock there anyway, when its gone, they will probably not be able to replenish it. I don’t know why anyone bitches about the FDA requirement at all. I also seriously doubt that their rules apply to specialty imports.

I can’t see how they can enforce the FDA requirement or PACT when it comes to overseas vendors without violating international trade agreements. But of course, it wouldn’t be the first time the Feds have ignored international law when it suited them to do so. The question is, IMO, do they want to devote the manpower and tax dollars? Somehow, I just can’t see anything more than token enforcement happening.

@PSS- My guess is… it’s gonna be business as usual with the English vendors anyway. Just my theory is all.

Well I received my package from smokingpipes.com today containing my order of snuffs and guess what? No problems! So if you would like to get your snuff-order fixin’ , and don’t wanna wait a week or more for a UK shipment to get to the States, I would suggest them. Also, their shipping via UPS was the same price as USPS flat rate so Huh Zaaa!

I placed a small order (they have a $15 minimum) with SmokingPipes.com today just to see if I have the same positive experience. They’ve already sent me the UPS tracking number, which is encouraging. I like the UK vendors, and they certainly have a wider variety of snuffs for sale, but it would be nice to have a reliable US source as well.

I just got word from Mark Pluta there that they are phasing out the snuff portion of their inventory. He says, “Once what we have is gone, we will not be getting any more due to the PACT act”.

That’s not good news, but understandable given the sorry state of US law. I got my order from them today, and was very pleased with the quick service. Ah well, the UK vendors have a much better selection anyway, even if it does take longer to get an order.

What was the quality that you recieved, It wasn’t dried out or anything was it?

@PipenSnusnSnuff: I was wondering the same thing as Kcazman.

Quality was excellent. The Sam Gawith Menthol was a little on the dry side, but it wasn’t difficult to rehydrate. I hear too much dryness is typical of SG tap boxes no matter who you buy them from. All the rest were WoS, and seemed quite fresh.

Well, that’s good. I was wondering more about the F&T, but see that you didn’t get any of those. Thanks

Well, those F&T tins are some of the most solidly made, so even if they’ve been sitting around a while, the contents should still be good. And since F&T is made by WoS, and the WoS was fresh, it seems reasonable to assume the F&T would be, too.

Maybe.

@enten-eller To answer your question regarding F&T snuffs from them, I’ve ordered Santo Domingo, Bordeaux, and HDT from them. All being perfectly hydrated and fresh, of course the Santo Domingo did need some airing out due to the ammonia, which is always a good sign!

@giaach: Thanks!

Just to reiterate again, just received another snuff order (this makes three) from the good folks at smokingpipes.com Hey the stock may be getting low and been around a spell, but I can’t tell the difference. $8 shipping in the US along with speedy service. We could help get rid of the stock, you know, do our part. You won’t even find their snuff with the regular menu’s, plug the word snuff into the search box.

Thanks hooked, I just did my part! I got some more F&T’s, so now I almost have their full line. I am hoping they are still pretty fresh. What have you been ordering from them? I also got a little pipe tobacco while I was at it.

I too, finished collecting all of the F&T through them. I also purchased several of the Gawith Hoggarth snuffs and Samuel Gawith flavors. Been satisfied with them all.

Christ, a couple hours ago they had some F&T still in stock, now I tried searching and nothing… I guess you all beat me to the punch lol.

All the brands they had are now reported gone. Loose lips sink ships.

Yeah, I accidentally forgot to remind ya’ll about it after my August and September orders! That’s it…forgot.

There’s another US website with a decent selection of Poschels , Dean Swift and American snuffs. But I’m not talking about it.

Iwan Ries is also still shipping within Illinois.
