Hi I am considering becoming a vendor on SR.
I sell rolling tobacco, Golden Virginia and Amber Leaf in 50g pouches.
The tobacco is from Gibraltar and brought into the UK. This is advantageous for three reasons. It is cheap so I am able to offer customers great prices. As Gibraltar is an English colony the writing on the packs is all in English. Lastly, I get it brought into the UK ready to ship from here. This is good as the main cigarette seller on SR from Moldova who doesn't even do rolling tobacco cannot guarantee delivery to the UK because Customs are so bad here.
Would many people be interested in this? Prices would start around £10 a pouch with discounts for bulk buys... (Tesco price for Golden Virginia is around £17)
-
I just rolled my first cigarette this weekend and it was lovely. As a pro joint roller, I even found it a bit of a challenge. 10 pounds for 50g sounds pretty great, pretty much 3x the cigs for the dollar here in Canada. Would you ship outside the UK?
-
Yes I would look at doing worldwide shipping
-
I would also offer big discounts for bulk purchases for people who want to sell on in their local pubs/bars. Lets say orders of 100+ pouches I could do at around £7.50 and prices for everything in between.
-
I would be interested if you started offering this service on SR. I wouldn't be buying bulk but would buy one pouch every week/ every other week.

There are vendors already selling baccy, buddy

NoAddedSugar can you inform me of what their names are on SR? I have only been able to find one so far, and he just sells in batches of 3, only GV and its from Portugal. I think the guy from Moldova said only 1/5 of his packages get through UK customs so I still think I'd be offering a valuable service for those in the UK especially
-
There is only one other seller on SR at the moment selling tobacco despatched from the UK, they currently sell GV pouches but are 25g pouches.
If you look in the tobacco section the user is called 'Smokeables'
-
How much is he doing those 25g's at matey?

If that's the case, then I am also interested. I'm good for at least (2) 50gm pouches a month.
-
Nothing wrong with selling the same stuff as someone else, bit of competition is good for the Road.

roundhead, that link didn't work for me fella? Where abouts is it on the forum?

Definitely a gap in the market here. GlobalShipping does from Portugal but domestic is easy and great. I recommend also stocking straights though if possible. Coudl you do this and what price?

straights??

Sorry, regular cigarettes in the packet. :)

Haha I call em sleaves. Got ya! Yeah there is a defo a demand for that but I only get tobacco. Cigs are detected a lot easier by Customs you see. If I can locate someone bringing them in on mass via the ports I may consider buying to list. However, as far as myself is concerned I just get the tobacco
-
Hi i can get this stuff on the streets for around £7-8, so your service seems good as long as its the real stuff, I would definitely pay your price for the quality, sometimes the stuff i get from the street can be so bad its been thrown in the bin.
I will be placing an order if you do decide. 8)
-
The tobacco market on SR is wide open, and with huge taxes in parts of the world I think you should do a good business.
-
If you do also have any way of getting counterfeit cigarettes I would pay way for B&H silver or B&H gold. Unfortunately I have never seen anyone offering it on here and the guy I buy it from down the pub is unreliable as hell and keeps trying to flog me DVD's after I have purchased the cigarettes so I'm not usually making any savings >:(
-
No I only sell the real deal mate. So yeah forget that £7-8 stuff you get on the street that is half the time Chinese fake shite. This is 100% real deal GV and Amber Leaf with English writing direct from Gibraltar!
I am quite happy about the responses so far and the interest looks good. Anyone else?

The day I have to resort to buying counterfeit tobacco products from a guy at a pub, is the day I plant my own tobacco.
However, I understand that tobacco products in the UK are highly taxed (where is all that money going anyways?), and sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
-
No point in selling fake shit at all. God knows what they do with all that fucking money, the amount of tax and duty here is ridiculous!

I don't think they are fake (they taste fine) the writing on the box is in Spanish but I have never asked him where he gets them from. I have smoked a pack of 20 fake cigarettes before that a friend gave me and couldn't smoke for a week after as they destroyed my lungs.

Ahh.. I see. I was under the impression that they were asian counterfeits you were talking about. Here in the US, we sometimes come across people who source cigarettes from Eastern EU countries who sell em on the down low for a slightly reduced cost... But that is rare. Have no fear or envy though, as tobacco stateside isn't getting any cheaper and it's a matter of time before they become ridiculously expensive.
TobaccoKingUK, I hope everything works out well for ya, and if you decide to start vending I am interested in grabbing a few pouches. By the way, can you get pouches of "Cutters Choice" by any chance?
