@bipolarbear, I LOVE your “sign”. I’ve been a FORD fan since my childhood days. My dad had a '58 FORD F100 on which I learned to drive. I’ve had all of them, from Anglia 105E, 997cc and 1200cc, Corsair GT, Escort 1300 GT, XR3, all the Cortina models, all the Sierra models, Sapphire, Mondeo, Bantam and now my Ikon. I did wander a bit, owned a Renault Gordini and a Mercedes Benz 230/6 way back when. But I will remain a FORD fan 'till my dying day. Sorry for going off topic!!
Ford is the way to go. I just signed my life away on a 07 ford ranger nice little truck. im usually more of a full sized guy but the savings on fuel is gonna pay about every third payment and I can do nearly everything I could do with my full sized. Sorry for the highjack in progress.
@ Pieter…I call bullshit!! When you were a young man the automobile hadn’t even been invented. 
Hey PP, now you given my age away to all the new members!
We are all equal. Doesn’t matter which century you were born in. ;)…Besides I’m right there with you. But I’m spry. lol lmao love your new avatar mate.
Thanks for all the feedback guys. I’ve already been ordering online but really liked picking it up at a brick and mortar store. Plus I had hopes that the tobacco shop I work at would be able to start carrying some fine snuffs. I guess all those hopes are dashed for the moment. Thanks again
That’s so good to hear you’ll be available in US Roderick! To bad you have to appease the fda.
@Roderick - Good work! I can’t wait to buy Toque locally. I have 1 shop to recommend if you want.
@Roderick Is there some kind of literature or info that would be particularly important to a shopkeeper, that would help send them your way? In other words how do I get my local shop to sell your snuff.
good question JD. It would be much easier to convince shop owners to indulge if we had some sort of promotional materials.
The best way to get a shop keeper to carry any product is to convince him there is a ready market for it in his locale. If he knows there are enough customers who will buy it to make it profitable for him to tie up his geld and shelf space, he will carry it,
Well he previously carried a small assortment of dean swift snuffs and when I asked he stated that he does sell a reasonable amount (and it always seemed quite fresh). Now the last time I went in I asked for snuff and he didn’t have any, being in a hurry I did not inquire further but I am assuming it has to do with the new fda law. If I had all of the pertinent information I might convince him to carry toque because as far as I understand toque is now fda certified. Sorry about the block style post but from my mobile proper grammar and format is quite a hassle.
yeah toque is now approved. I can’t imagine that a decent tobacco store couldn’t at least sell enough snuff to keep some on hand.
I would really like to see Iwan Ries carry a bunch of Toque snuffs. I do not live in Chicago, but sometimes I take AMTRAK and visit. I would like to see Smokers’ Haven in Columbus carry some snuff, but I was told that people only specifically ask for snuff maybe twice a month. Now I think that if they carried some it could really catch on with some of the nearby Ohio State students, especially with the super-restrictive Ohio smoking ban in place. Proper marketing is needed at nice tobacconists. Maybe a couple “snuff days” with demonstrations, free samples, soft drinks, and snacks. College students go to anything with free food and drinks.
Thanks for jumping through the hoops for us in the U.S… Many lives will be saved. I’m proud of you. Best wishes for your success here. Live long and prosper!
well before the smoking bans my local sold a decent amount of snuff to penn state students who couldn’t smoke during their lectures.
