Hey everyone? I’m completely in love with the viking dark, and honestly its become my snuff of choice for all day. That being said, i’ve removed the two 25G containers I had cued up on my next order and decided to commit to the bulk 500G. My concern is that every time I order snuff it has to cross the pond and pass through customs, and that takes at least a week and a half. It appears that bulk orders of Viking snuff ship in a large plastic tube as apposed to the nice vacuum sealed 25g tins. Will that container keep my order fresh, or am i risking having 500g of stale snuff arrive on my doorstep? I love this snuff and wan’t to have a box on hand all day every day, but would hate to waste $50. If anyone has ordered this in bulk and had good results, please advise! Thank you! -M
Mine came through fine. I transferred it to glass as soon as I got it though. edit: I would be more concerned with how long it has been sitting on the shelf at the warehouse. The plastic tubes are pretty secure but they are not vacuum packed.
I always do big bulk orders during the winter
When I bought it it wasn’t that clear plastic thing in the pictures that came, it was a short stout and pretty round tub with a pretty heavy duty screw top lid. It took about two weeks to get the ammonia smell out of mine.
Like @hgrissom said, it is a heavy screw top lid. I decanted into class jars right away but I would think it would be fine. Tobacco is much more resilient than we often think. I would be more concerned about a floral, for example, than a natural tobacco like Viking Dark.
As stated above, never had a problem with bulk viking (dark, brown or thor’s hammer). Just get it in glass asap.
