Packards Club Snuff - supply in the UK to be ceased!

We don’t like to be the bearer of ‘bad news’, but we’ve just been told that very shortly Packards Club snuff will no longer be available in the UK.

Thinking this must be some kind of mistake, we immediately contacted Poschl via email. We received at first ‘promising’ news and then unfortunately second, a withdrawl of this news a few days later. The bomb shell being dropped that our supplier is correct. Packards Club will shortly no longer be imported into the UK.

Dear Tim,
Thank you for your E-Mail.
Sorry for my fault. Packard´s Club Snuff is no more available in the whole U.K.
Unfortunately we had to delete this product.
We are very sorry about this matter.
If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us again!
Best regards

Packards Club Snuff is a favourite of many snuff users. Packards Club is a old snuff blend, and ironically originally it is a British blend; now made under licence in Germany by Poschl.

On a personal level, it was one of our ‘first’ favourite snuffs - way before the launch of Snuff Store and has remained one of our ‘every day’ snuffs.

Packards Club comes in a really nice retro style box, with a serving ‘doser’. It’s a fruity snuff, slightly moist and generally considered by many to be a ‘every day’ snuff.

So what can we do? Well as ‘consumers’ as well as a snuff store owner, we think it’s only right that we lobby Poschl and try to get them to change their mind.

It seems strange that during a ’snuff revival’, a time when more and more tobacco users are moving to the gentle art of snuff taking not just in the UK, (but also world-wide) that a decision such as this has been made.

Maybe if enough of us get together and contact Poschl in protest, spread the word to other snuff users and get more and more people involved in our protest, Poschl may change their mind about withdrawing Packards Club.

We recently ‘lost’ Robbies Snuff in the UK - although fortunately there are a few wholesalers left in the UK with supplies. The reason we had been given for the loss of Robbies, was that it wasn’t financially viable to print the ‘warning labels’ in English.

We do not know the reason why Packards Club is being withdrawn, as a ‘good seller’ on Snuff Store it doesn’t make any sense to us. It certainly isn’t going to make any sense to the regular Packards Club users in the UK - whether they purchase Packards Club from Snuff Store or not is besides the point…

So if you want to lodge a protest, add a comment to this post below and here’s the email address for Poschl. Make them aware of your feelings towards removing Packards Club before it’s too late.

It could be a ‘real’ SOS - Save Our Snuff…

Been a bit lazy with the snuff posts recently - apologies.

I’ve built up a load of snuff news to add and will be doing so over the next few days.

Hopefully once this snuff news back log has been added, I’ll be able to get back into the regular swing of snuff posts again.

Hi All,

Two new snuff boxes added to the snuff box section. We’ve also had loads of deliveries this week and many items that have been out of stock are now available again.

We’ve had a delivery of Samuel Gawith’s Scotch Black; for some reason Scotch Black is in a white ‘new style’ plastic carton… Don’t know whether this is just a once off.

For a brief idea as to what’s in this week, please see below.

New Two Tone Rose Wood Snuff Box now in stock.

New Crest Embossed Wooden Snuff Box now in stock.

Silver Snuff Box Engraved Lid back in stock.

Silver Plain Snuff Box back in stock.

Samuel Gawith - Scotch Black, Banana, Black Coffee and Cherry are now only available in the new cartons. As mentioned above, Scotch Black for some reason is in the white version of the new plastic carton. We still have some supplies of the other blends in tins, but as our supplier’s stock is exhausted we will gradually move over to the new style cartons. Take advantage of the tin stocks as prices are reduced.

Gawith Hoggarth - Aniseed, Eucalyptus, Tia Maria & Strawberry are now back in stock.

J & H Wilsons - Medicated 99 back in stock.

Snuff Book By Ursula Bourne back in stock.

Hope you have a great weekend.

Hi All,

Just found out that Julia is expecting our ‘third’. Here’s a scanned on image of the 12 week scan pictures.

Toby and Zach are very much looking forward to having a new brother or sister.

Just taken delivery of these lovely silver snuff boxes with engraved lids - Silver Snuff Box Engraved Lid.

The snuff box is made from .925 Sterling Silver. It has various hallmarks on the back; size-wise, it’s approximately 6.2 cm x 3.4 cm x 1.5 cm and weighs about 34 grams. The below is of the silver snuff box standing next to a one penny piece to give some idea of size. 

The below picture may give you some idea of how shiny these silver snuff boxes are. Please excuse my reflection in this image, but I wanted to try and get some detail of the engraving on the lid!

The next  two images are of the silver snuff box open, with the snuff storage area shown. Again, I’ve used a penny piece to try and give a size comparison for you.

Check out the silver snuff box offerings on Snuff Store for further details.

Chewing tobacco now in stock.

With all the fuss about Snus, and whether the EU will allow this form of chewing tobacco to be sold in the UK and other European countries, it’s easy to forget that the UK already has a strong tradition of producing chewing tobacco twists. In fact, things have progressed so far in recent years that you can even buy chewing tobacco twists pre-cut in managable sized ‘pellet’ pieces.

Smokeless tobacco products have been historically used throughout the ages in the UK. They have been popular with people working in smoke free environments; miners, tailors, sailors, and all other professions in which it may have been thought as ’unseemly’ to be seen to be smoking, or in fact dangerous in the case of those working down the mines or on old wooden ships.

The below image being an example of Condor Pigtail chewing tobacco, sold in the mine shops until the vast majority closed in the late 1980 - 90’s.

Snuff Store now stocks pre-cut sections of twist chewing tobacco and Oliver Twist chewing tobacco pellets. Please scroll down to see the links and various flavours in stock.
