    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.

    Hi BadBusinessMan
    It's not on their trade list but I'll make enquiries for you and see what I can find out.

    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 ?!

    Well they make it in the UK don't they? Can't they ship you some tins?

    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.

    Also Dean Swift SP is a pretty good clove snuff.

    And wilsons used to sell directly but I no longer see the order form on their site.

    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.

    Yeah all snuffs make me sneeze the Dean Sp makes me sneeze from the bottom of my feet and if you've never done that it really hurts.

    THe Dean SP is the only Dean Swift that I am a repeat customer of. Deans Own isn't that bad either.

    It seems that every clove snuff other than McChrystal's has other scents as well, usually SP variants, which is not necessarily bad, but not the same.

    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!

    Strange, really strange. How's that possible when they don't sell it in England??
  11.  # 22
    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?

    I tried Bespoke Christmas Joy for the first time yesterday. If you like the cloce flavour, this is the snuff you should try

    Yes, after I've posted the comment, I realised that you were not talking to me!! Cheers

    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.
  16.  # 30
    I'll have to try it sometime. I tried Sparrow but it is too dry and fine for my taste.
