I managed to get into mid-October without any big tobacco hauls, opting to smoke the cellar down a bit. A trip to the Owl in New Haven led to a big bag of their navy flake coming home, followed by a pound of FVF and FVF Burnt Ends from this week's drop. I'll likely buy these three every time I have the chance!
Thats good stuff from the Owl Shop, if you like Latakia then Harkness Tower is something you should pick up next time. Do you live nearby? I'm like 45min from the shop.

Sorry I do not understand what you are wanting to know? We design and produce all our own labels inline with each country we sell to and the requirements for that country.

I was talking before about these graphic images, especially the more morbid ones, if you still have to depict these for any countries? I’m assuming looking at this site from the UK you do... 🤔

Yes of course, labelling is only going to get more stringent, not less. But every country has their own regulations. Some countries are 40% coverage, some are 85% coverage with health warnings. Some have pictorial combined warnings, some are just text. Some have warnings on the front and back, some just the front. Some have to be in multiple languages, others don't.

Sounds like a goddamned headache.

@gawithhoggarth Some of these labels depicted, explicitly say;

’Smoking Causes’

I don’t know what the laws are in the UK, but across the pond, it’s always been my understanding, unless something is proven 100% to always be ‘The Cause’, then it can’t be depicted as such, it has to be advertised as;

’Can Cause’

hmm🤔

I don't think anyone in production has any say whatsoever in the format or text. Our "Smoking Kills Stop Now" mantra on everything is pretty much bereft of comparative risk. Clearly, it's been killing me for 54 years and if I don't stop now, I'll end up dead! Lawks.

@khiddy oooh, I just bought a Trevi Rusticated 320 a few weeks back. :)

I recommend giving the White Elephant Meerschaum filters a go.

It’s to bad there aren’t many 9mm versions sold in the US, most are 6mm. I plan to get a 9mm, even if I have to order from overseas. The 6mm seems a bit restrictive.

Oh, all the snuff, I originally thought, hell no, sniffing anything up my nose, but you seriously had me checking out MrSnuff.

Mullins and Westley Jock's Choice seems like quality stuff…


And I actually enjoyed watching Simply Snuff’s videos, especially this one, where he talks about the Whitby Yards.


And of course I love geography so I had to go dig around over Whitby Yards.


Here’s an article with the same YT video.


Didn’t realize or remember about Capt Cook and Whitby.

I think I would definitely like to try now the Mullins and Westley Jock's Choice, and some of the Wilsons of Sharrow.


To bad, I don’t see places in the US selling any of the English snuff…

Yes, what I’ve heard is that it’s illegal for US-based shops to sell snuff online, though you can place phone orders for shipment from the few shops that sell snuff. I hear of a few places in Houston that sell snuff, and I plan to visit next March when I’m in town to get on a cruise. But you can reliably order online from mrsnuff and toqueusa. Shipping is reasonable as well, since snuff tins are considerably smaller than pipe tobacco.

If any of your snuff isn’t up to snuff, your liking… LOL 😆

Let me know if you’d want to sell some… :)
