We have recently introduced this new product in the market, Cheeta chhap Gul.
Gul is a type of snuff which is not used nasally, rather the use is predominantly as a dentifrice. Gul is very popular in India , much more than snuff.
It is now available at mrsnuff. Would love to hear your reviews on this
As most of the world outside of India there is little known about Gul
Can you give a description ?
What color is it ?
Is it a fine grind ?
Is it flavored ?
Is it mentholated ?
Is it super dry ?.
How much in grams is a normal dose ; .25? .5?
Average time in the mouth until need to replace?
Do you need to spit ?.
Do you know the nicotine content mg/g; is it like 7-8 mg/g , 22 mg/g or some where in between or higher ?
What percentage of tobacco is in the contents of Gul ?
Is it listed under Snus or Smokeless ?
If it listed as Snuff, someone may use it as nasal snuff and their dose would be .1 or .05 grams .
Malka sold by mister s. originally was listed as snuff. I purchased some only to open a can of something that looked like grey clay that had bits and pieces of tree bark. I find out later it is for oral use and only 33% tobacco. The nicotine was extreme and the taste was horrendous and the texture was far from comfortable. I am no stranger to oral tobacco.
Some snuffer use a apple seed size pinch , Mine are a bit larger than some.
Isnt this the snuff you use to brush your teeth rather than chew or dip? @sixphoto could I use my regular cheeta in this way? Never used dentifrice snuff
Gul is basically powdered tobacco like snuff with no flavour or menthol added to it. It is finer , and drier than most nasal snuffs and a lot stronger in nicotine . Cannot explain the nicotine content as it is not mandatory here in india to list it on the label. Gul is used in india basically as a dentifrice by rubbing it on the gums . Users generally keep it on for a minute or two before rinsing with water. Depends on individual nicotine tolerance. A gram of Gul would be a sufficient dose for a one time use but that again is variable. The color is blacklish but not as black as our kailash snuff I hope it answers all your questions
@Aamon - having said that I would not rule it out . Here in India as I have repeated often all type of snuff is used as a dentifrice besides being used nasally
I’m so glad I included this in my latest order! My dream of toasted white snuff has finally come true.
That ‘dentifrice’ part in the description made me postpone trying it for quite a long time. Now I would like to reassure everyone, who hesitates about it: it is a nasal snuff, and a decent one!
I would call it a white snuff with a tan. Plain and fine, though slightly coarser than WE or DW, closer to regular Cheeta in grind, but a tad darker, with a light toasty note. It instantaneously delivers loads of nicotine along with a short lasting, but pretty sharp burn. As @Gokul nailed it, it’s a nic bomb, indeed!
Can be used as dip… like dippers use american scotches.
To me this way fits better than its use as snuff. It is not as strong as Makla, but plenty satisfying to a high nic user (without that other weird messy alkaloids present in rustica).@-)
A tiny pinch of this gul is enough to boost me up.
Many thanks to Vikas @sixphoto for this excellent product! Will definitely reorder it for my daily rotation. I’m interested in tapkir as well, it will be in my next order.
I knew what Gul is, quite a few of my aunts are daily users. Not sure which gul they use, but am pretty sure it’s dark brownish/blacking in colour. Had been avoiding Cheeta gul because am not really interested in dentrifice but @spinyeel’s suggestion to mix it with Medicated 666 makes me include it in my next order with 6 Photo!
Good to know it can be used dip too, as @snuffvillian mentioned. I’d like to know how long can it be kept in the mouth.
