Big Samuel Gawith Snuff update this week.

We’ve once again stocked up on our Samuel Gawith snuff selection; and as promised, several that weren’t available after change over from tins to the new style plastic cartons have now been added and resupplied.

We’ve added 23 ‘new’ blends - when we say new, we mean that they’re new to us. Most are by popular request and we’ll continue adding as blends become available in the new style cartons.

Excitingly for us, since we’ve moved over to a Samuel Gawith supplier who’s as equally enthusiastic about snuff as we are; several of the blends that we’d previously been led to believe had been discontinued have been resurrected…

We hope you can take time to peruse the Samuel Gawith section - it now spreads over 3 pages. Please submit reviews for any that are ‘lacking’ if you’ve got comments to add. It’s a hard task trying all these blends I can tell you!

The lucky winner of our Silver Snuff Box competition in December 2008 was kind enough to send in some photos of himself using the Silver Snuff Box Pattern Lid, that we got to him as promised in time for Christmas 2008 - as an early Christmas present from us!

Leman from Iowa in the USA was picked at random from the snuff reviews submitted within the time frame specified. Leman doesn’t know it yet, but we’re going to try and get him to pick the number of the lucky entrant’s review for the current snuff box competition, which closes at the end of March.

So well done to you Leman and good luck to all those entering the Walnut Snuff Box competition this March.

Buy Akuz Snuff

Akuz Snuff is the latest tobacco free snuff offering from Zuka, and is seen by Zuka as being potentially their ‘flagship’ snuff.

Zuka are proud of Akuz snuff, and rightly so - if tobacco free stimulating snuff is your thing.

It’s innovative, new and as far as snuff is concerned ‘exciting’! It’s definitely a novel snuff and certainly a break from the norm - for one it’s bright orange!

Akuz is sweet, fresh and orangey. It main ingredients are Glucose, Dextrose and Guarana.

Because of these ingredients and especially because of the guarana, Akuz snuff is being marketed as a natural ‘pick me up’.

Guarana is one of the richest sources of caffeine, one seed containing up to three times the amount of caffeine as coffee.

The Guarana seed can contain up to 4-8% caffeine, more than coffee beans, which contain approximately 1–2.5% caffeine. The seeds are also rich in tannins and xanthine alkaloids theophylline and theobromine.

Guaraná is reputed to be a stimulant and increase mental alertness, fight fatigue, and increase stamina and physical endurance. According to Zuka, taking 1 gram Guarana will provide a clean hit of energy, mental clarity and gentle excitement that usually lasts between 2-4 hrs.

Guarana is known to have the following main actions:

• Stimulates
• Increases Energy
• Reduces Weight
• Soothes Nerves
• Fights free radicals
• Increases libido
• Relieves pain
• Enhances memory
• Quickens perceptions
• Delays sleep
• Helps with endurance based activities
• Can help to recover from a hangover

Akuz is therefore a snuff for people ‘on the go’. Although Zuka’s marketing is aimed specifically at clubbers and the like - there’s no reason why ‘regular’ snuff users shouldn’t add this tobacco free snuff to the list of ‘white’ snuffs that they may usually purchase.

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.

Samuel Gawith Snuff Sale

As you may or may not know, Samuel Gawith are gradually moving over to plastic snuff cartons from the ‘old’ tins.

We have been selling the Samuel Gawith snuff tins that we still have in stock well below RRP, in anticipation of our stock moving over to the newer display plastic containers.

We still have a few Samuel Gawith snuffs available in tins and to clear this last batch, we have further reduced the price of these to £1.00 per tin.

Of course, some of the Samuel Gawith blends are newer stock than others; as until very recently we had been re-supplying some blends that aren’t currently available in the new plastic cartons with the old tins.

So this is the final reduction on Samuel Gawith Snuff. The RRP is £1.45 and at £1.00 a tin, you’re saving nearly a third off of the suggested retail price.

As and when the S & G blends are replenished with 10g cartons instead of tins, the price will revert back to £1.45 - as it has on several of the Samuel Gawith snuff blends already.

So check out the Samuel Gawith Snuff section today and see if you can pick up a bargain!

Hedges Snuff L260 - also known as ‘The Snuff’ is a fine mentholated snuff.

Hedges snuff was originally invented by William Ross Hedges, a chemist from Birmingham. Interestingly, Hedges snuff was offered as a ‘cure all’ remedy for various cold related ailments!

Hedges L260 is one of the last snuffs widely available in tobacconists. It is a snuff that has been copied by several other snuff manufacturers - I’m sure if you do a little research, which snuffs will be revealed.

Hedges snuff is a fine powdered dry-ish brown snuff tobacco powder. It is a great all day snuff for those who like their snuff on the menthol side. It has a reported good nicotine kick, so may be suitable for those looking to replace ’smoking tobacco’ with smokeless tobacco snuff alternatives - read this.

For more information on William Ross Hedges click here. I do not know whether the below entry copied from the War Graves reference site, refers to the son of William Ross Hedges the Birmingham based chemist - no matter what, it is still a reminder of the sacrifice made by previous generations on our behalf.

WILLIAM HERBERT HEDGES, MC

Captain 1st (North Midland) Field Company, Royal Engineers

Died Tuesday, 22nd August 1916 aged 23 in France

The son of William Ross Hedges and E. Hedges of Birmingham

Stammheimer Hopfen Schnuph is a hop flavoured snuff from McChrystals and is now available at Snuff Store.

Stammheimer Hopfen Schnuph is a snuff of distinctive flavour and quality, it is as close to a ‘beer’ flavoured snuff that we’ve come across. The flavour is bitter, sweet, and tangy all at the same time!

Stammheimer Hopfen snuff has a nice aroma of hops and tobacco and as soon as you open the tin you notice the scent, which is quite unlike any other snuff we’ve tried. Stammheimer Hopfen snuff is brown in colour and has a grind consistency similar to McChrystals’ O & G. It comes in a McChrystals ‘large’ tin and contains about 8.75 g of snuff.

Stammheimer Hopfen snuff is specifically blended for the continental European market and considered to be a ‘difficult to get hold of snuff’, it carries the same name as a Hop Farm in Switzerland. It is I believe a snuff created as a collaboration between McChrystals and the Stammheimer Hopfen Hop Farm, you can find a link to their website here. It’s a page translated into English, you can return it back to original language when you get there if you like.

Snuff & Snow

We had a un-seasonable snow storm this morning. Some time between 7 and 8 o’clock it started snowing and at times it was near blizzard conditions.

We live in Surrey and so being in the south of England, we don’t usually get that much snow.

Now there’s a big kid in all of us I suppose, so I was just as excited about the snow as my two sons - Toby and Zach; we all rushed breakfast and as quickly as possible got some warm clothes on and ventured out into the snow to play!
