I think it's called Snuffy 'arrod because there's supposed to be a snuff box atop the Town Gate clock. I didn't know they ever made the stuff in Harwood.

I never knew snuff could be delivered - but when you think that newsagents sell it I suppose it makes sense.

I remember when I was 15 going on an exchange visit to Germany and the Dad of the family asked if I could bring a particular brand of snuff with me that wasn't available over there. I got it at Woods tobacconists in town and ended up exporting it to Germany for years.
