I love McChrystal's Clove Snuff. It's become one of my favorites. Do any of you know what the story is with it? I got it from snuffshop.com, but it came in another McChrystal's container with the label whited out and clove written over it. I can't find it for sale at any other online store. It just seems a little weird.
I'd quite like to try the clove too so I emailed McChrystals.
Their reply was "Clove is not sold in [the U.K.] at all. There has never been a call for it anywhere other than the States, even their interest is minimal. Hop,raspberry & apricot are the same."
Kind of a chicken and egg situation I'd have thought - how can there be a call for it if it's not available anywhere ?!
Yes, we have the same situation in SA with hybrid bicycles. I asked every importer and the standard answer is: "There is no demand for that kind of bike". Why?? Because nobody stock them!!! Bull dust!!!
It's like these established companies don't even want to compete in the marketplace. They've consigned themselves to waiting around to die instead of trying to generate new customers. Roderick? Clove Snuff?
BBM have you tried Dholakia Manjul it has a great clove scent. Look Here for reviews. I too agree about these companies not wanting to expand their business. I read here that Wison Sharrows used to send out samples. So I e-mailed them and was e-mailed back that they no longer are giving samples due to huge demand but they have a "good value" Sampler. I wrote her back and told her i could not put a value on something that I had never tried. I also told her about my friends at Toque and Dholakia who do send samples. I also told her I didn't know how their deal could be better than Toques as they ship for free. Probably a waste of time and energy I just think they should know their are more progressive and aggressive new companies in the game.
Actualy bigblue that is the kind of stuff companies spend lots of money on researching. When you have an older established company it's much easier to get rutted and feel less likely to inovate. Where as toque and dholakia have to inovate. Though to be honest I wonder if the memebers of the wilson family use snuff or if it's just the family company. I wouldn't honestly be suprised either way. Dean swift clove yuck. I don't mind the scent in fact I love the scent but that snuff really disagrees with me terribly. It burns something fierce and not in a way that feels proper. It also always makes my nose bleed which is something snuff should never do. The strange thing is it seems like everyone I know either gets tortured by the Swift SP or loves it and experiences none of the negative side effects.
Its funny how everyones nose is different. Like how some can suck down Wilsons Raspberry, but for me its the only snuff that makes me sneeze, & sneeze uncontrollably every single time.
Interestingly enough I have some Dholakia clove snuff. It is one of the future flavors we developed. It is not for sale yet....but maybe we can work something out with Namrata's help!
I asked him if he had just never tried to market it in England and his response was that he wished it were true. I don't know if he meant that he had and nobody wanted it or if he just knew (ESP) that they wouldn't. Was it ever available in England?
Did anyone of tried DHOLAKIA Manjul yet? If you like cloves, this is the snuff to use. But, BEWARE ! It will blow your brains out of you take to much, especially in the beginning. One of my firm favourites.
