Just bought some Neftobak in the 45g horn shaped cannister from, Jayems, 125 Victoria Street, Victoria Street, London SW1E 6RD 020 7828 1472. The tobacconist said that if people wanted to call him he could arrange mail order but shipping to the U.K only. A bit pricey mind at £6.99.
I have only had a brief time with this snuff but on first impressions it has an odd sweet and salty taste/smell, that reminds me of Turkish sumac and I am told you can add some water to it and make a sterk los snus. I will experiment over the weekend. Has anyone any experience of using this stuff either as nasal snuff or snus?

Maybe Mr Snuff can look into stocking this

Its rather curious that this has turned up in a London brick & mortar shop.
So, is it Snuff. Snus or both?
Nasal use of snuff has a tradition in Iceland that seems to have died out in favor of snus. This product seems to be both attempting to revive that tradtion, and also circumventing the ban on snus. Rather clever actually.
To use the plastic horn in the traditional Icelandic fashion, you insert the tip in your nostril, and then tip your head back allowing the snuff to pour in.
Ahh! Thanks for clearing up the mystery for me.
The idea of pouring Snuff into the nose is intriguing, but I wonder how many people walk away from the experience looking like Marty Feldman afterward.
khalid: Does the store near you sell in any quantities greater that 45g, like that 250g tub I've seen pics of?

For those of you in the U.S who wanted to get a hold of some......new job and new baby mean that it will be six weeks before I am in central London again. Maybe another London based snuffhouser will be able to sort you out more speedily. Sorry for this, I would normally be happy to oblige.
Jayems only hold stock of the 45g cannisters.
I have mixed some of the tobacco into los snus and am pleasantly suprised, it is not as strong as legend would have it but equal in strength to a normal Swedish Match product. There must be some added ingredient to make more of the nicotine available. It bakes well and has a flavour that is peaty and smokey like an islay single malt. Really pleasant.
I hope someone can find a way to make this available by mail order.
@MatadorMan: I'd happily trade you for something you like if you PM me.
That's because you don't live close to anybody who owns horses!
I bet your post ends up in "Out of context!"
BUT ... as an edit ... one can never tell what one will like, right? I was just seconding MatadorMan ... if you do try it, let us know how it goes ...
We've has Icelandic members here before, and I don't recall them having issues.
Perhaps @Toque or @MrSnuff could shed some light on wether or not they've sent to Iceland before, or do so regularly.

Better watch out if Dubai starts licensing those scanners to other country's customs. If they can detect .003g of cannabis fast enough that it doesn't cause delays in a major international airport, I'm think USPS would be able to notice some of our 1kg+ snuff orders coming in.
Would a similar story from the Leftypendent persuade you? ;)
