So I've got a bit of extra cash right now and I'm thinking of picking up one of everything (and two of the ones I know I'll like!) from Toque. I just had a couple of questions. #1: How long does it take for Toque snuff to get to the US? #2: How much comes in one of their bullets...is it comparable to the tins?
If anyone knows the answer to those questions I'd much appreciate it!
Why not email Roderick, I'm sure he will be able to tell you with the feedback he gets from US and also ell you the weight of the snuff in the bullets. His email address is on his website, just click Contact.
Orders from Toque to California arrive on avg. of 4-5 days. The bullets are small & hold like 1-2 grams. If you like to carry the bullets then its good to get a bullet & tins then refill the bullet from the tins, or buy the bulk bags.
Hi alwaysbeclosing, Kunugaa is spot on (Mind if I use that Kunugaa?) when he says "think of it more as a bullet with some free snuff". I am often amazed to see similar empty bullets selling for £3.99/$7.00. I'd carry 4 if I were you, one which I only ever fill with Absinthe or Menthol, one for natural or Original, one for the fruit flavours, and one for the rest. So don't buy any more bullets than that. Refill from the tins or bags it's much more economical. I’ll watch out for your order and include samples of the new flavours due to come out late next week.
Toque orders generally take between 5-8 days to get to ohio. They are well worth the wait though. Good to hear roderick, I can't wait to get my hands on some more of the honey and whiskey toast as well as the others. Great timing too, I am due for another order.
I've put in quite an order as I trust the noses of those on the site...rather than type it all out, I'll just paste it here:

Well, I guess I could have just said "one of everything!", but I'm going to give the ones ordered doubly to my best friend. He's new to the world of snuffs, but likes what he's tried so far...though he's not a menthol fan...well I guess that's good for me because I sure am! I guess I'm doing a public service here, too! Maybe I'll win the "nicest neighborly nose" award. Anyhow, I can't wait to try them! I'm really looking forward to having one each of the snuffs that I've heard, a number of times now, are some of the best you can get!
The large order for all of the snuffs from the traditional companies is coming next :D I would eventually like to have one of everything and possibly a few humidors to store them and keep the proper mosture for years to come (days with as much as I snuff, maybe) - one for plain varieties, one for metholated varieties, and one for flavored varieties. Thanks again everyone for the suggestions and I'll be reviewing each and every one (including the ones I get samples of!) in due time!
I found the Toque Absinthe a touch to sweet for my liking and the Grapefruit a touch to sour. So I made a burger, like Troutstroker taught me to do, and mixed the two products. Now gentlemen, please try it!! I mixed me a whole tin of this beauty and can sit, watching TV, and take pinch after pinch after pinch!!! I take very small pinches, like when taking a SP, and it so nice. I have it with me today, along with Toque Original. This two snuffs compliment each other and I can just go on and on, it's a real treat.
