10 sixpences and only 2 winners? You’d better get checking your Christmas Puddings as you might have missed a sixpence and the chance to win 12x10g tins of your choice. Then again they might still be sitting in our stock room. 

Another possibility is that one or more Xmas Pudding lovers bought several tins at once, knowing that it is only available seasonally, and won’t open the tin with the sixpence until July or so.  A check of your records should narrow down the field of likely suspects considerably, I would guess.

Is it possible someone found a sixpence not knowing the significance?

We have just been told a 1958 sixpence has been found in Concord, California. 12 tins are on their way to another lucky winner. 

I wish I knew what you were talking about…

Is there a possible winning sixpence in tins of Christmas Pudding?!?!?

@ Brewshooter, I know the search facility isn’t good on this site.  her’s a link

This is the 3rd year Roderick has been doing this. Because it’s an old tradition over here that you put an old sixpence (before our decimalization) in a Christmas pudding and the one who finds it is lucky.  

@SnuffHead Thanks, I used Google and was able to figure it out.  I actually have my tin of Christmas Pudding with me today and dug around in it to see if there was anything there.  Unless it is VERY well hidden, I do not have one in my tin.

YES!!

Was just reading through a few threads here, and thought, yeah right. Like I’d win anything.
I’m so unlucky, if I had to live on luck I would have been stillborn.

I bought a can of this about a month ago. I took a pinch or two to try out, and then thought, what the hey.
I’ll drag this out on Christmas day and use it then.
And then promptly forgot about it… Until now. Right now.

I just dug my can out the bottom of my Tupperware storage box, cracked open the can, and before I could even start poking through it with a toothpick, I saw a perfect little circular indentation in the snuff that I know wasn’t there before when new.
It must formed after I pinched enough out to leave an air pocket in the can.

Screw the toothpick! I just reached in with my fingers and dug it out!

YEE HAW!

Now to contact Roderick!

As my friend Mater said, I’m happier that a tornado in a trailer park!

Ha! Congrats Elwin and Happy Holidays.

Congratulations Elwin…and I hate you!!! 

Brewshooter, my sympathies. The only thing I’ve ever won was a cowboy-suit when I was seven! But, there are still sixpences to find!   

Elwin, an email has been sent. Congratulations!

I’m giddier than a 12 year old girl at a Justin Bieber concert!

Thanks Greencrow, but you can say ‘Merry Christmas’ - we aren’t at Walmart…

Brewshooter? Thanks! Now go cry in your beer…

And thanks again, Roderick!!

BTW: I almost ordered some more Christmas Pudding, but I’ve used up all my luck, so now it’s up to the rest of you.
Go buy some now!

Buy it because it is good! If you win that’s just an added bonus.

I was enjoying mine last night at a Christmas party. It seemed appropriate.

Congratulations Elwin and Merry Christmas!

Thanks, Slide!

Oh and if anyone wondered - I found mine in a 10 gram tin.

I’ll have to check my 10g when I get home, though I’ve had a number of big pinches, so I figure I’d have uncovered it, but I wasn’t looking for it.  However, the consensus (between myself and another snufftaker at work) is that Christmas Pudding is GREAT!  My buddy gave it a try, said, “Yeah, it’s pretty good.”  THen, a few minutes later, he goes, 'MAN!  I can really smell it now!  It smells just like Christmas!" 

For all you members who are unsure how to claim your prize the first step is to send ME the sixpence >:)

Firstly i would like to know, why a sixpence? Secondly, i have not tried any Toque before, what kind of snuff is it? And Christmas Pudding?? That sounds repulsive, i cant picture shoving pudding up my nose, but i guess id have to try itto know what its like.

@Vito445

You can read reviews of it at http://snuffreviews.com/list.php?Function=Reviews&ItemID=457 Some have described it as smelling of chocolate, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

I suspect it is finer and dryer than the Poschl snuffs you have coming. So they may be closer in consistency to pudding than this.

As far as the sixpence, I think it goes back to English tradition of placing a sixpence in their Christmas Pudding. Supposed to bring luck to the one that finds it in their serving.

Well, thank you Slide

Congrats!!!

I’m still overwhelmed with my win!

I almost didn’t fit the lot in my humidor!

The Sixpence certainly brings luck in this case!
