    Why is it......

    .....that every time I have an order from Toque coming, I tell myself that I am going to show restraint, and only have a couple of cans open at once....but then when it actually gets here, I'm like Augustus Gloop in the Chocolate Factory, snuffing from each can at least twice during the first evening??

    Because snuff's awesome, and it won't keep that new tin smell forever :^D

      This is true. And it is really, really fresh moist stuff this time. Roderick must have had to make fresh batches of just about everything to meet the demand from these last days of free shipping.

          I'm not a fan of bullets, though I haven't tried Toque's. I much prefer pinching, or dumped on the back of my hand for the German styles. If it were me, I'd get regular tins, and maybe 1 bullet just to try it out. You'll get more snuff that way, and if it turns out you love the bullets, there's always another order :^)

              Spirit says there's free shipping right now, but you'd have to check their site. I'm fairly out of touch with what's going on with tobacco. I haven't made an order since before PACT :^D

              If you were to order from Toque, 10 10G tins is a*nice amount. It isn't too expensive, it'll last a good while, and give you a nice sampling of flavors.

                  I am also not a big fan of bullets in general, and the ones from Toque are pretty convenient, but just not enough snuff at once for me. I prefer the good old-fashioned big fat pinch, one for each side.

                  But to your question---free shipping from Toque is a thing of the past as of 6/2. I think Roderick said that shipping to the U.S. would start around 4 bucks, but I'm not sure of the weight steps. the 10g sampler would be 100g, the equivalent of just over 2 cans of Swedish snus, and it comes USPS, not UPS, so I can't imagine shipping being a big issue.

                    thats not including the 10 tins themselves. Its probably more like 200 gr total shipping weight


                    I don't like bullets either.
                    Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





                    I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

                      Bullets are not a good way to take snuff IMHO. They don't deliver enough and force you to snuff harder than you should. Also those toque bullets I think only contain a gram of snuff.

                        Bullets are great in their place and even better if you follow the instructions bellow. I prefer the pinch method myself and think for beginner’s tins are best.

                        Shipping starts from $3.00 and is 20% of the order. By the time you include packaging we are still charging less than the true shipping cost.

                        I posted this on another forum but, thought it might help if I posted it here also. How to Pimp a Toque bullet. Take a thin knife and insert into the hole where you would sniff from and pare a little of the plastic, then pull out the tap and by paring away some of the plastic enlarge the snuff chamber. When you replace the tap make sure the rubber ring is bedded down properly. You can now take larger doses from the bullet.

                        Another really good tip that came to light on snuffhouse is, place your forefinger over the dispencing hole, turn the bullet upside down and rotate the tap a number of times. This fills the dosing hole with a perfectly acceptable portion of snuff.

                          I prefer the back of hand method myself. Especially if you're just starting out with snuff.
