After speaking to Larry, CEO of www.rateitall.com about the deliberate sabotaging of Toques rating; he has instigated new procedures to stop false ratings being entered on rateitall. Nice to see a CEO listening to and remedying faults so efficiently. Rateitall has now gone from a good company to a great company. IMHO.

Roderick what makes you believe there was "deliberate sabotaging of Toques rating?" Is it due to the fact that you received some one (1) star ratings for Toque on rateitall.com? If so, fyi, one of those 1 star ratings came from me. A few came from my co-workers. We happen to be on Wi-Fi in our building which will show up as one IP address on rateitall.com. Perhaps that is why my friends and I saw a drastic correction on ALL smokeless tobacco ratings there yesterday.

Thanks to your post on this site I will be calling my co-workers who are at home today (Saturday) so that they can go back into rateitall.com and re-enter their valid rating.

Toque is truly a terrible nasal snuff. I'm not a big fan of nasal snus, but can tell you that Toque is the worst I've tried thus far.

Again, thank you so much for posting that you whined to Lawrence. Allows us to correct the problem, thus keeping Grizzly Smokeless on top!!!

This is very interesting, I didn't know there was such a thing as nasal snus.

The EU adopted a directive as early as in 1992 prohibiting the sale of tobacco for "oral use not intended to be smoked or chewed," which included the Swedish snus but not, for example, chewing tobacco or nasal snus.

You put way too much effort into disliking Toque. I can't stand Poschl snuffs, my solution is the only sensible one I can think of, I don't buy it.

@jemahon4

Are you a friend of Steverino1958? You write in a similar manner.

Ethics don't come into it, anyone can promote anything anywhere they like.

Toque is an outstanding company producing snuff that is now being enjoyed by millions; in the long run it will save lives.

Everyone has different tastes - there are plenty of snuffs I don't like - promotion of snuff, in any forum, is a good thing.

I suspect he is a shil - thats the only explanation for the drivel he posts.

At work for a snus company perhaps? The lines he uses sound so much like ad copy to me.

First and foremost I do not have any affiliation with the smokeless tobacco industry. Secondly, I didn't start the "rancor" on this post. It was Roderick's post that raised my ire with his reckless allegations of "deliberate sabotaging of Toques rating" on rateitall. If you read my post carefully you will notice that I happen to be one of the individuals that gave Toque an unfavorable rating. I tried the product and disliked it.

While I'm not a big fan of dry snuff, I do pick up a 12 pack of W. E. Garrett Scotch snuff at my local Sam's Club about once a year. The rest of the time I dip moist snuff which at the moment is Grizzly. Not because Grizzly is the best moist smokeless tobacco on the market, but because it is an affordable alternative to the best and the best being Copenhagen. I refuse to pay the outrageous price that the USTC charges for their products.

I've been using dry and moist snuff for 32 years. I started with a dry snuff call Checkerberry which was very popular in New England until about 25 years ago when it disappeared off the market due to declining demand. It was a great product but succumbed to the lack of interest is dry smokeless products while the moist snuff market started to increase in sales. I then dipped Copenhagen until about five years ago when they took advantage of the growing popularity of moist smokeless tobacco and had limited competition.

BTW Troutstroker, I NEVER urged anyone to vote down Toque. I sarcastically thanked Roderick for having rateitall correct the problem. Toque was #1 on the list before the correction so get your facts straight pal. I don't even give Grizzly a 5, I rated it 4!!! Copenhagen deservedly got my 5 stars for it's product quality despite my grievance with it's price.

Toque was not #1 before the correction, It fell down to somewhere around a 1.7 rating with over 100 new ratings in about a 2 day time frame. That was before the correction.

@jemahon: If you don't like nasal snuff why create an account here. If you truly wanted to bash Roderick why not burn him on Rateitall ? We have a rather harmonious and civil community here. And quite frankly I enjoy it that way. If you'll notice that it says Snuffhouse.org Dedicated to Nasal Snuff. So go call all your buddies tell them about the abuse you have suffered So you all can come here and start a big commotion. Lets just get it over with. I myself am done with it and I am of the opinion the rest of the guys are too. So if you would please take your rancor elsewhere it would be appreciated....................... Good Day, Sir

Well, you don't sound like a shill after all. Maybe it was just coincidence that you rated Toque a one around the time that someone else was abusing rateitall. You just seem to like american scotches and abhor the styles popular in the rest of the world, of which toque snuffs are a representative variant. Still weird that you would come this site.

jemahon4, Your more than welcome to come here and have a civil discussion about snuff or other tobacco's. Otherwise you can just go elsewhere. Its no problem that you don't like Toque, everyone has different taste, you just came across a little harsh. If your interested. I'm sure we can recommend some snuffs you will really enjoy.

But there had been a problem with rateitall, I was watching as it was happening.

Welcome Pardner. This is a very friendly board, just a very loyal board. Don't judge it by this thread, I'm sure you will enjoy it here.
