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We do not know the reason why Packards Club is being withdrawn, as a ‘good seller’ on Snuff Store it doesn’t make any sense to us.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…

Look out for further Packards Club snuff updates.

According to Arthur’s Hall Of Manliness, those using nasal snuff are taking their tobacco in the ‘manliest’ form available!

So what’s the order of tobacco ’manliness’ I hear you say?

1 - Nasal Snuff
2 - Chewing Tobacco
3 - Pipes
4 - Snus
5 - Cigars
6 - Cigarettes

Arthur then goes on to explain about nasal snuff and how to use snuff for those people who are uninitiated;

Nasal snuff is dried, powered tobacco that is inhaled into the nose. Typically, a pinch is placed between the thumb and index figure, and then snorted into one nostril. The nicotine is absorbed into the blood stream through the membranes of the nasal cavity. Nasal snuff was very popular in the 19 th century, but has fallen out of favor in the present day. Today, the major users of snuff tend to be crusty old fisherman, and other such salty dogs.

We don’t know how many ‘crusty old fishermen’ or ’salty dogs’ use Snuff Store, but the comment about snuff falling out of favour isn’t entirely correct. Snuff is enjoying a renaissance in the UK and Worldwide.

First time snuff users tend to have a very negative reaction, which includes violent sneezing, a burning sensation in the nose and throat, and an extreme runny nose. If you can tolerate these symptoms, and actually enjoy this stuff, then you may consider yourself the manliest of manly men. Nasal snuff is difficult to find, but can be found on the internet (along with everything else on God’s green earth).

The description of first time users experiences may be correct for those who try ‘harsh’ or more ‘expert’ snuffs as their first time snuff. We would suggest trying a more gentle snuff like McChrystals Original and Genuine, or Packards Club when first experimenting.

Nasal snuff difficult to find? No, surely not? Arthur just hasn’t discovered Snuff Store yet!

So there you have it, according to Arthur, Snuff is the manliest form of tobacco.
