Snuffster and I have both been mixing FUBAR Grunt with FUBAR Shot of Rum. I use roughly a 50/50 ratio. I donât know what he uses. It makes a nice tropical flavor. If you ever had Malibu Rum (or some other coconut rum) it tastes like that. I donât have a name for it. Maybe Malibu Grunt.
I have done quite a few custom snuffs, both by mixing, and by adding my own flavors to some snuff. Currently in my snuffbox is: J&H Wilsonâs Medicated No. 99, McChrystalâs Clove, Gawith Hoggarth Sea Breezes, Wilsonâs of Sharrow Jasmine, and Best SP. It is so far my best custom blend.
Old: I have been using Lotzbeckâs Brasil and sorta wishing it had just a bit more âkickâ to it. Iâm gonna have to find some Burtonâs and try your âMule Kickâ.Old, I can find no info on the Internet about Lotzbeckâs Brasil - what kind of snuff is it???! Xan and Leman, thanks for sharing. The Malibu Grunt sounds good!!! Leman, how do you âadd flavoursâ to your snuffs???!
You can add flavors to snuff in a few different ways. If the flavor you want is in a liquid form you can add a few drops directly to the snuff, but do this very very slowly, you can always add more, but you canât take it back out. Or you put some snuff in a container with a lid, and put a small saucer of the flavor in the middle of the container with the snuff around it. Then put the lid on it, and let it sit. The liquid will evaporate and then be absorbed by the snuff. If there is a spice you want to add, you can add that directly to the snuff as well, but like with a liquid youâll want to add it just a little at a time. Or you can take a solid such as some orange or lemon peels, and put them in a sealed container with the snuff to absorb the flavor that way. I have also added lemon, almond, vanilla, and a few other extracts that you can find along with spices in the grocery store. Make sure you just use pure extract, and not artificial. My experience with the artificial is youâll end up with just a sticky ball of tobacco. Once again, add just a little at a time. So far the best snuff Iâve found for custom flavoring is Toque Natural, but you can use just about anything you want. Basically just experiment, youâll probably end up with a few duds, but youâll probably end up with some wonderful blends, with the pride in knowing you did it yourself. This post got a little longer than I was planning, but I hope it helps.
Leman: âThis post got a little longer than I was planning, but I hope it helps.âNO!!! Not at all, long is goodâŚespecially since your post had a bunch of good information. I have always liked lemon and mint - my Wife has some âpure lemon extractâ and some âpure mint extractâ, and I have some Dental Mild - so here goesâŚâŚâŚ. Iâll tell yâall how it turns out. Thanks, Leman, for your reply!!!

Old: "Lotzbeck Brasil is a dry full tobac flavor.
Iâve sampled some flavored ones and donât care for them. I donât want tobacco that tastes like candy or fruit, and I sure donât like snorting menthol."Thanks for the reply!!! I too like âjustâ tobacco. Out of all my pipe tobaccos, I have only one aromatic: a light cherry blend (and I mean very light!!!). I am a VA fan with my pipe tobaccos, I have developed my palette (learned to enjoy) so I can actually taste and savor the âpure sweetnessâ of just good VA (Virginia) tobacco. And even though very ânewâ to snuff, I can appreciate the âjust good tobaccoâ flavour of F&T, HDT, and the American Snuffs (though I am fighting the âover-snuffingâ syndrome with them at this time). BUT, in the âsnuffâ world I think I may be a little more adventurous. One of the first snuffs I ever tried was Wilsonâs Crumbs of Comfort (a bit of menthol, and much spearmint) - I can feel sure I am right, when I say, as long as I remain a snuffer, CoC will be in my rotation. I have some Dental Mild cooking up with some âextractâ as I type - more on that later. Old, I think since you like âjustâ tobacco snuff, with no flavour - then mixing some Bruton with your Lotzbeck Brasil will give you the ânic-kicâ you are looking for. When you mix some up, let us know how it is!!!
How did the mix go snuffy? Stefan
Stefan, It was so BAAAAAAAAAAAAD that Iâve given up ALL tobacco products⌠:^O âŚROFL!!! Let me be the âhuman guinea pigâ a few days, before I give a full report - but things are looking pretty good for now. I want to sniff it a few days and make sure there is no adverse effects on my nose or sinuses and make sure the ânew mixâ retains it scent and flavour. But, so far, so good. Iâll report back Wednesday afternoon. Stefan, have you ever had any success with mixinâ snuffs!!! ANY OTHER âMIXERSâ OUT THERE!!!
Iâve only tried one mix so far which involved a bit of Toque W&H, IHDT22, and a few others I forget. It was alright, but the W&H pretty much overshadowed everything. Iâll have to give it another shot sometimes.
I still recomend when your tins are almost done dumping the remainders together. Which might suck or rock but itâs always interesting. Going to go do that now.
As Xander says, grunt and shot of rum, I also use a half and half mix.

Interesting terminology. Any other lingo I should be aware of?
Alex, have you ever asked a question and later thought: âI should have never asked that question!â, well, listening to NickKick, sounds like he is as full of mischief as I am, so, Alex, this could be one of those timesâŚROFL!!! NK, I anxiously await your answer also⌠;^) âŚLOL!!!
