@50ft_trad thanks now I hope there in good shape and that I like them…
Got what I could, all of which will be in the “Sell/Trade” section later. Manager didn’t know if they’re getting more or not.
5.4 oz Railroad Mills Maccoboy on eBay. Looks to be pretty old, but unopened. I will give it my “restoration” treatment and bring it back to life.
Dang, @Tobe, that is quite a score! I’ve never seen the big Swisher tubes. The large Bruton I have seen came in something shaped like a pint glass. Is Carhart US Smokeless, too? Those look like big tubes, too, unlike Bruton. Maybe it is the 4+oz Garrett I’m thinking of. If I like the Dental Scotch or Tube Rose, maybe I can talk you into a trade for a big one! Anyway, I just placed my first order from Old Mill. I’ve been trying to do this for months and finally decided I can’t afford NOT to do something nice for myself. It will be just a taste: Arabesque and PVT. I’m excited to finally put some OM in my nose and find out what y’all are raving about.
@tobe I’d be interested in your thoughts on the buttercup if you get a chance to write about it
@TerrapinFlyer You’re going to love OM. I just placed an order with Daniel to get in before the whole outhouse goes up in smoke.
^:)^
@tobe I see a lot of nice big tins ! Glad that we agreed on a trade
@TerrapinFlyer They had one tube of Bruton that was the exact same 4.65oz. I just wish they’d had more, particularly where Dental and Tube Rose are concerned since that’s what everyone seems to want. By the way, week of the 21st everything will be mailed, likely that Tuesday. @snuffsahoy I will definitely try it and see if I can do a half decent description of my experience. I wish I had the nose some members here do, picking up hints of elderberry, dashes of sandalwood, and so on, but at this point I’m less than helpful with my efforts. @Marielle32 Yes! Looking forward to trying some new snuffs!
@snuffsahoy I tried Buttercup and then a while later Honeybee, and found that the scent of both in the tin is exactly the same. The Honeybee was slightly darker and more moist relatively speaking, but those were the only obvious differences from the outset. Buttercup is very, VERY sweet, with the initial sweetness quickly giving way to a mild smokey scent that reminds me of a dying campfire. That scent lingers along with what I believe is a wild honey scent for quite a while. I like this snuff a lot, and was able to deal with its very dry, very fine nature with no issues whatsoever by using the “nose kink” method. Interestingly, it caused my nose to run where Honeybee clogged it up. Still, I cleaned my nose with saline nasal spray and waited a bit for the scent to fade away before trying some Honeybee, as I had an odd feeling… Now obviously I could be wrong, but in my non-expert opinion, these two snuffs are the same product. Admittedly, my inexperience with American scotches at this point might lead me to conclude that all American sweets are the same exact snuff, but I doubt it. If there is any difference, it’s that I didn’t detect that smokey scent with the Honeybee, and perhaps got a bit more of the wild honey scent, but essentially then, these would be the same. I like both and am glad to have a good supply on hand. Oh, and after a few nosefuls, my nose did indeed start clogging up, so… Fraterdentical twins, IMHO.
No snuff this time. I have several years worth, and don’t need more right now. I did however really need some spare CE4 vape cartomisers having just fitted my last one, and my local vape shop is a rip off at 5 pound each. Online at my favourite tobaconnists, they’re only 99 pence each, so it was a no brainer to place an order. Figured I’d add a few bits to make best use of postage costs: Washington bent cob Ennerdale Flake 25g GH Brown Irish Sweet Cherry Cream (sample) GH Brown Irish Sweet Liquorice Plum (sample) GH Brown Irish Sweet Chocolate Rose (sample) Kicking myself for spending money I can ill afford, but life’s gotta have some pleasures, right? Looking forward to trying the new tobaccos as I cut my teeth on the heavier stuff like Commonwealth Mixture, 1792 Flake, and GH Dark Blend Shag. Eager to try something more mellow which will still help me keep off the coffin nails and support my snuff use

I thought SG London Brown was in my cart, too. I’ll add it + anything that strikes me here as worth trying. Best SP isn’t currently available in tins. I’m mentally wrestling with 260g. No plain Crests are available in 25g tins, either. This may not be the best time to be exploring new snuffs, but it has to be done! If I like these new ones, I will be stocking up soon. It’s sad, really. I have been putting up pipe tobacco on a five-year plan, starting two years ago. I just had to free up money earmarked for something else, because our way of life may be ending sooner rather than later. Don’t feel too bad. *It’s for the precious children!* I know most of my Toque favorites and am very happy to be able to order bulk economically from the source.
@TerrapinFlyer I’m also putting together a sizeable order, but I’ll wait until I place it before revealing what’s on it. Hard enough to find several favorites in stock when you want to order more than three.
Hi Mr Snuff
Just stopped by the little store in Georgia again… Seems they do get new product in, as last time they only had one tin of Dental. Score!!! Edit: Okay, the pic is upside down for some reason, but these are all 4.65oz cans. I had to put about four cans back, including Bruton, because it exceeded what I was trying to spend.
Omg man, how much are they charging anyway? I’m soooo envious heh.
$15.49 per 4.65oz tin and about $5 per tin per 1.15oz tin, with Dental being a bit more. Again, if anyone wants anything, let me know. Otherwise I’ll just add these to my collection, which really doesn’t need anymore scotches.
Point taken about ordering, @Tobe. I got everything but the JHW SP 1 in 20g.
