Bernard Snuff

We’re pleased to announce that we now stock Bernard Snuff.

The Bernard snuff company was founded in 1733 by Johann Nikolaus Bernard (1709-1780) in Offenbach am Main. The location was chosen because of the promised privileges of the Isenburg’s lords. So the Bernard snuff company got the name, “Fürstlich Isenburgische privilegierte Schnupftabakfabrik”.

During 2008, Bernard’s is celebrating 275 years of manufacture and have launched a Jubilee Snuff to mark this wonderful and historic occassion. Jubilaums Snuff is a limited edition snuff and has a has a fruity, spicy aroma with added menthol freshness. The Jubilee snuff is dark, finely ground and slightly moist; it is a perfect every day snuff.

The most popular product of the Gebrüder Bernard snuff company historically was and still is today the “Schmalzler“.

The production of schmalzler snuff is very extensive and time consuming; in spite of modern technical progress, Bernard’s Schmalzler and other snuff tobaccos are still made and blended using traditional methods of production, and are completely handmade. Bernard’s continue to develop new snuff blends.

Bernards also produce several ‘white’ snuff blends - these tobacco free snuffs vary in flavour and are not all ‘minty’, so offer a variation to people wishing to try them. Perhaps most famous of these white snuffs are Edelweiss and Naseweis. Interestingly, Naseweis proclaims it can be used for a cure for colds!

Snuff Store now offers sixteen blends of Bernard Snuff, sold in 10g plastic cartons.
