Viking Dark tubes

S

Does anyone else like the tins of Viking more than the bulk? I am thinking the tins are more flavorful and moist than the tube I Purchased. I like Viking snuffs slot, but I don’t know if I should purchase a tube or a few tins. Anyone else here try both, and what are your thoughts on the two?

B

the tubes look like they’re not very good bulk storage devices. Like they have too much empty room.

Yes that’s what I had thought after receiving it. I emailed Andrea at Mr Snuff about it and she said she would check with the supplier. Never heard back. I think I’m just as happy to stock up on tins though.

Once the contents are appropriatly stored in a mason jar, they make a great spagettie holder.

Did you find that the Viking Dark from a tube lacked the bite and was more coconut/choclatey?

@MrNemo Although i plead ignorance in the review/scent/able to smell anthing properly dept.(i have mistaken clove for anise, fresh brewed coffe often smell of dog shite to me, etc.) I have noticed no difference form the tin to the tube; i would say smokey/earthy. Granted the stock is a year old, ordered March 8, 2012, perchance you are onto a new batch. Variations year to year, crop to crop of tobacco, are what makes snuff a bit like wine. There has been a lot on Here about the variations noticed in Grunt.

I’ve noticed no difference. I ordered the tubs as soon as they came in stock and transferred the contents to mason jars as soon as I received them. I think if you purchased a tube that had been in stock for a while it could be effected.
