Mesquite, Texas. Another berb of Dallas. Just found out I live about 10 mins from Jarhog. Overindulged in Toque Toffee all night, trying to flush it out with some Gawith Apricot atm.

Hull, Yorkshire (I suppose I should add England). Snow expected this evening. They’ve already got it on the North Yorkshire Moors and all the way up the coast to Aberdeen.

Hey Snustopian, we’re neighbors! I’m over here in McHenry. Sprangalang is not too far either. And Poo-Diddy, Big Blue and a few others are in NE Illinois too. Maybe we can have our own Northern Illinois ISTA chapter and an annual snuff party.

Hull Yorkshire U.K. and not far from ermtony. The old lady is shaking her feather bed. Reckon I’ll need a team of huskies if she carries on this way.

But just down the road is Hull and Lincoln now their both nice places to live ! Snow expected here this weekend i cant wait it makes Scunthorpe look nice lol !

Pioneer, California in the old gold rush belt of the mother lode. Sitting in the Sierra Nevada Mountains around 4000 ft. elevation surrounded by tall pines. Part of the highway is the old emigrant & later stagecoach trail. Kit Carson was one of the first to travel this route through the mountains on his way to Sutters Fort. Another section of this trail further up the mountain around the 7000’ elev. is open to 4x4 vehicles mainly jeeps as other vehicles are too wide. Its a fun trail to go on, about 20 miles worth of some good wheeling. Pioneer is about 1 hour east of Sacramento & about 1 hour south west of Lake Tahoe, 2 hours north of Yosemite, 3 hours east of San Francisco, 1.5 hours south of the historic Donner Pass, 2 hours south west of Reno.

Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England 20 miles from Derby, 40 from Nottingham, 50 from Manchester, 15 from Sheffield. Pretty central and in the beautiful Peak District National Park. Currently no snow and a nosefull of Toque Toffee. Stefan

Vero Beach, Florida! 500 feet from the Intercoastal Waterway and 1/4 mi from the Atlantic Ocean. BrianC: I think I mentioned, I grew up in Cuyahoga Falls! ps. 80 degrees and bright blue sunny skies today! LOL snuffing Rooster, Tom NicotineRush.com

Wrangell, Alaska. And I’m not even going to get into your snow discussion.

Durham, North Carolina. Dead center of tobacco country.

@TheLong laughin my ass off. i usually feel like that but alaska beats michigan hands down.

Yeah I would love living up there except further up north like up towards Fairbanks or Nome where its so dark during winter. That I wouldn’t enjoy. I would like to live in the middle of nowhere like Grizzly Adams where I had no neighbors for miles & you only go to town to resupply once a month because its so far. But where I’m at works for now, 30 minutes from town.

I live in a seaside village called The Strand about 50km east from Cape Town. Weather is nice and hot except for a strong south easter which rages this time of the year. Been living here for 26 years already and from here I will move to where the Long Trees grow. Tom Buck up my nose at present.

I’m from Istanbul, Turkey. Two views from the famous Bosphorus and the Golden Horn…

nice pictures. Though can’t tell if it’s the picture or not but that looks like it was taken on a very smoggy day.

The camera itself wasn’t a very good one, 2mp and old. The weather was also cloudy and foggy.

@Johndeere89: I’m abount 30 minutes north of Detroit. My wife grew up north of Grand Rapids and she lived in a town with one blinking red light. I like to tease her abount being a small town girl, but it actually seams like a peaceful place to live.

I’m 30 min drive from central Phoenix, AZ. It’s considered to be part of the Sonoran desert. The “winter” climate here is really nice. Warm days and cool nights. But we get a few storms in from the Pacific and winter visitors are sometimes disappointed.

I’m in Farmington Hills.

Thats just a five minute drive from me.

Nice quite a few fellow michiganders… you guys know of anywhere in michigan that retails snuff? especially anything besides W.E. Garret.

@Johndeere89 I looked and counld’t find any place. In fact I only found one place in Flint that sells W.E. Garret and Railroad Mills.

@Johndeere89: Hostetters on Washington St. in Grand Haven, MI has a selection of Poschl snuff, as does Campbells in East Lansing. Both, of course, have a much more vast pipe tobacco and cigar selection than they do snuff. PS. I was raised in the Grand Haven/Muskegon area and went to Michigan State University, so another michigander here, though I live in Alaska now. Also, @Troutstroker, Yeah, the perpetual night kind of sucks. It isn’t so bad where I am (in the little string of island communities south of Juneau) though the sun sets between 230-3 right now and rises at around 830am. And, as far as snow, this island is really strange weatherwise. It’s a goodly ways north, but we have a lot of interference from the Pacific, and a lot of coastal rain. So, right now at about 3000’ there is around 10’ of snow, whereas there is nothing but rain at sealevel. A very strange and interesting climate in this part of the Tongass.

@jimmyc and TheLong, thanks for the tips guys but as i live a couple hours north of there ill have to settle for the W.E. Garret and internet orders for now but ill definetely check it out if im down that way.

TheLong, Its crazy here how much a slight elevation can change snow to rain. I’m at 4000’, there are times where we might have 3 feet of snow then I drive down the highway to around 3700’ and they just have a dusting. And around 3500’ it never even came close to snowing. Then theres times there is no snow here but only 1 mile up the hwy there is chain control set up. I don’t understand why more states don’t allow chains. It would sure save a lot of hwys from shutting down due to just a dusting of snow. You wouldn’t think in just that short of drop that snow would melt so much as its falling. Thats basically just the height of 2-4 pine trees.

@troutstroker, love the name by the way, but the chain thing i think is cus its hard on the roads but i agree i think it would actually be worth the small damage they may cause to keep things flowing.

No worse than the salt they use back east that rusts the cars out. But they get plenty of money in CA for road repair. Theres a tax on gasoline & DMV that goes strictly for road maintenance. I remember when I lived in Wyoming for a while when I was going to school at Wyo Tech. They got about 2" of snow on the highway and it shut down. Couldn’t understand it. Especially since its a big truck route so there where a lot of goods not going through. Here where I am, they run the plows constantly on the Hwys but theres times where you might have a foot or two on the highway but as long as you either have 4x4 or chains your free to pass. The only time it will close is if its an absolute white out or higher up the highway where it cuts through cliffs. They close it there from time to time just for avalanche control. They do some blasting then run the plows then its open again.

yeah, well they hardly even use salt around me anymore and its getting more and more sparse on the plowing department all the time too, all due to budget cuts to the county. and considering i have bald chainless tires this winter (my budget not looking so hot either… fuckin michigan) im not to happy about any of it lol.

Just let the air out of your tires and bring along plenty of kitty litter.

lol Already done

I’m almost afraid to ask, but what’s the going price of gasoline in Alaska these days?

It’s supposed to be going down. The station about a half a mile away is $4.79/gallon right now. Places in the bush are still seeing around $8-10/gal.

WOW! I just filled my pickup at 1.68 per Tom

It is $1.56 in Dallas TX. They are keeping the Russians from backing the ruble with commodities (oil), and to break the Arab countries.

TheLong, we pay R10.00 a litre for petrol. That’s R45.00 a gallon!!

Pieter, I had to do a quick currency conversion on that one, but it looks like you’re still getting gas at around $0.30/gal cheaper than we are. But, then again, I do live on a dinky little island and only fill up my tank maybe once every two or three months.

Here it is 88.9p per litre. At the beginning of ther year it was 123.9p per litre. Stefan

i think i saw gas for $1.63 today thats cheaper than ive seen for quite a few years i think.

I can’t be the only Canadian!!??

Kensett, IA here. Town of about 200 people 15 miles from the Minnesota border. We sure got enough snow yesterday. It’s too damn early for winter.

Bridgend in South Wales UK 20 miles from the countrys capital Cardiff. From the land of Tom Jones and Richard Burton (for all you old enough to remember them)

Anyone near Warwick? I’m supposed to have relatives there somewhere. Childs and Talbots I believe.

COLLIERBOY, Tom Jones makes me think about Tom Buck. Btw, did you ever heard the old guys use the words “Buck Jones” in a sentence like: “This snuff is Buck Jones” meaning it is very good??

Collierboy, When I was about 15 years old (that was ages ago) I was in love with Richard Burtons wife, Elizabeth Taylor. I made love to her about 3 times a day without Richard or Elizabeth knowing about it.

At the moment I am snuff on the Tonto Apache reservation. Nobody seems to even notice me pinching while I wait for my breakfast and play keno.

North Yorkshire, England Here.

Stu90, it’s 2.30am according to your clock and I can’t sleep!! We are exactly in the same time zone, only difference is you are in middle of winter and we are enjoying summer. Happy Christmas to you, enjoy everthing which is available in your beautiful town. Cheers Pieter

I can’t sleep either, an old injury plaguing me, so sitting reasding the posts and taking Toque original from my onefor theroad box. Thankfully not an early shift tomorrow.

Am in Arhus, the second largest city in Danmark. Arhus is first mentioned in 862AD, but has existed since close to ca 2000 years. Climate very similar to Scotland, topography - very flat. Demography 80% of the Danes share the same 3 last names :o) A cool tribe

Currently at my place of work in West London, UK, soon to be at home in South London.

what do you do toffee?

I am sniffing in my closet!

Is it nice in there?

Good point. The possibilities are fascinating; glue, amyl nitrate, someone’s pants?

shoes?

moth balls.

moth balls could be it ya know, very addictive

Hello again Pieter & a happy Christmas to you and yours, Winter / summer it doesn’t matter here it just rains all the time -lol-

BigBlue - Juxta is actually one of our female snuffers :o)

Draganici,Near Karlovac(some 10Km,famous for Karlovačko beer),Croatia

I live in “Neuhausen auf den Fildern”, a municipality in the district of Esslingen in Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany. It is located 13 km southeast of Stuttgart. In the photos you can see our landmark: The Gothic Revival basilica “St. Petrus und Paulus” (1850–1852), the biggest village church in Europe.
