I've seen a number of European members who seem to want to try American snuff. I live in the south, and I can find most any of them. If anyone would like some, I'd be happy to trade for nearly anything Euro. Except Ozona. I have plenty of that. :) I would love some of the Schmalzers(?) or Wilsons or whatever really. Either email me, whisper, or post your interest.
You know, I remember reading that conversation too. I thought, why is everyone having such trouble finding it? I "forgot" I live in North Carolina, tobacco capital. The sell American snuff at Wal-mart, CVS, Harris Teeter, everywhere. And hey, if you want something you can't find, I'll be happy to look here for you. I can even get the jumbo cans if you want.
blender, here is one for you to keep an eye out for. BRAN-DEE Snuff. If you happen to find one, PLEASE let me know. Also is the Helme Wild Cherry Sweet Scotch Snuff available in your area. If not then maybe Checkerberry!
I want to caution any of you considering obtaining US snuffs through Blender to see how he resolves a situation with me. I sent him 5 swisher coupons, ten bucks and some samples of rare (in USA) schmalzers from my Rajeks order. Several weeks have elapsed since he purportedly sent them out but they have not arrived. Whispers and emails have not been answered. I hate to think the worst, but his non-response lead me to the conclusion I may have been duped.
Wow, that sucks. It's sad to think that even in this small, friendly community we have here that situation like this can't always be avoided. If it turns out as you suspect, at least your loss isn't running into the hundreds of dollars. So far I've only traded with one person from here and that's Orzech. So far he's been top notch. Maybe we could use some sort of feeback thread of trustworthy snuff traders?
I don't think he would have scammed you for $10 and a couple coupons, well hopefully not. Things do get lost in the mail, especially if you get just one little typo on the address. And something could have happened to keep him from the internet as the last time he logged on to the forum was on the 20th.
I can vouch for Omegapd. we traded a while back. But wait, maybe I'm Omegapd? Nah I don't think the vouching thing would work. the only thing I can say is check how long someone has been a member and how many posts/visits they have. I don't think anyone would jeopardize a large investment of time for a few dollars in snuff. Kind of sucks for the new guys, but I guess I'm a new guy and Omegapd took a chance on me. He's a super menthol junky, and I'm decidedly not, so it worked out great.
I've traded some snuffs or had things sent to me from.
Troutstroker, BrianC, Andy, Alex, Onefortheroad, and of course Roderick
A pleasent experience every time.
As far as Blender, I find it almost hard to believe anybody would scam somebody for $10, & some coupons. I'm sure it is just a misunderstanding, and hopefully nothing has happened to blender which is causing him to not be in touch with you stitch. Hopefully everything works out in the end. If not let me know what snuffs you were trying to get and maybe I could help you out. I got a couple stores with pretty decent sized variety of American Snuffs for sale.
AS I SAID, I hate to think the worst and I'm not really out a lot if it doesn't get resolved. It's the sort of thing that can happen when you trust people who are essentially strangers. I've had some successful trades here and I've sent some homemade snuff gifts to people here just to show off and maybe establish a little goodwill. Anyway, this incident won't deter me from future trades, but I will stick to members of good repute.
So far I've done mailing's with: Merdock69, Mo, Mountain Man, Omegapd, Stitch, hddm3, BrainC, eonwe, celticsnuffer, onefortheroad, Poo-Diddy, Filek, Pedro & I'm sure there's a few I'm forgetting!! All have gone over well and enjoyed doing it!
I'd like to try some american snuffs, as I really enjoy IHT and plain snuffs, which I understand are swimilar ya? i dont have many snuffs but i'll trade if u like or just paypall someone for the snuff and postage, maybe a couple of extra bucks to get ur self a little something lol. let me know
Just want to write down all the good guy I've traded with: - Alex - Andy - Omegapd - Troutstroker - Roderick
I'm done with trading for a half a year, I think. The Polish custom office doesn't like me. They don't want to give my packages from other countries back :/ They say I don't have any document of buying the items that are in the packages lol.
Weird, why in Pl would you need documentation for a "purchase" of a sealed tobacco snuff container?
Why would someone ship it to you if you hadn't "paid" for it? I knew those polish jokes were right! (err at least for their government workers apparently) (just kidding)
Haven't had any trouble yet sending as a gift. But I do have to lie a little when sending to Spain as they don't allow tobacco to be imported. I always say its coffee or something. There is probably a limit one in Spain is allowed to receive for personal use but I couldn't find the info. But for just about every country, if the value is less than $400, weighs less than 16oz. and the product is not subject to tax, you don't need a customs label.
I noticed Poland has a lot of import bans on literature and things pertaining information.
Yaz, I asked for some samples from one of the Indian producers. Damn, I don't like those cumtom offices. My hobby is starting to be a bit dangerous lol
Filek, I didn't see any type of import restriction on tobacco of any sort when I sent your package. So I don't see why there would be such a problem. I do know the catalog I threw in wasn't allowed.
I have since received a whisper from a gent with a similar experience across the pond. Seems we've both been scammed. Blender you are a P.O.S. Better watch your back, cause what goes around comes around.
