DIY snuff scenting

Celikhan tobacco is sold mild, sweat-strong and strong. Above picture all snuffs were made from sweat-strong type (same batch) but when i add sodiumcarbonate and salt they became darker. The differences of the color comes from the grind sizes. More finer is the lightest. Celikhan tobacco has the most nicotine i could find. Nicotine kick is high although i chosen the sweat-strong type. Maybe the strong type has more nicotine (also the cheapest)but i didn’t try it because the nicotine in sweat-strong has the same nicotine level like toque or WoS according to my taste.

They look interesting. What scents are you using?

snuffs in the photo are plain. I used patchuli sandalwood cedarwood pine vanila rose oleaster peach banana melon rom raspberry musk amber jasmine violette clove cinnamon cacao ginger and their mixtures which are not shown in the photo.

Wow too many smells in my nose …pumpkin spice burns a little haha well home flavored orange rassberry clove and fennel thank you all for the kick i needed to experiment. Like a few others all i can get locally is we garret sweet scotch. Second week of waiting for a delivery fun times experimenting!!!

i can manage to make oil based snuff like poeschl. Ingredents: 100ml grinded tobacco 20ml water mixed with 1,2ml washing soda 2,5ml table salt 10 drops 100% essential oil (i used patchuli) 6 hours later i added 10ml J&J baby oil (MSDS says no healt hazard if inhaled) Although i am stile cold the scent is very long lasting.

i forgot to write coumarine. I used granule type 10-15 small pieces i think it is less than 0,5ml. (also i saw the same granules in Bernard schmalzlers) I suggest to add oil step by step otherwise it can be too oily.

Looks like you got it going on

@linguist Is that the Celikhan tobacco? It looks greenish yellow in the picture. I would have thought it would be a bit darker with some grays and the green. It must be very fresh. Is it strong enough for you? Most of the Turkish tobacco exported is not very high in nicotine but very flavorful. I read that the Celikhan tobacco has more nicotine than those. Looks good! Enjoy!

Celikhan tobacco has 1% nicotine content (a little bit higher according to some sources) and the sugar content varies between 8-15% (sweat-strong type is 10-12%)

Edit: 10 drops too much for my taste 2 drops would be enough. Also 10ml could be 1ml. I decided to use the rest for mixing very little amounts for my other snuffs. And i learnt not to make scenting when i am cold:)

Anyone try silver dollar snuff? The scent is so strong in the orig i been mixin with all i can. the cola tasetes like a cheap cola pop lol :stuck_out_tongue: i may be way over excited but here in my small town i was so happy for new snuff !! I am mixin whatever i can and i must say spanish brandy toque and orig silver dollar tastes like a chocolate mint candy cane. I appologise for any new guy overenthuasium but everyone here thinks im crazy for sniffing dust.!!! AT least the tobacco guy has hope lol

By here i mean rural northern california

@justhend My buddy owns a tobacco shop and stocks a bunch of Silver Dollar Snuff. I mainly use it as a top off after I have snuffed other brands. For some reason the cola does not come across to me as cola, it is very strange. Seems that each time I try it I smell something different. I am snuffing a 50/50 mix of Viking Dark and SD Raspberry at the moment though!

Has anyone tried this method of scenting homemade snuff sounds interesting. http://tribes.tribe.net/tobaccotribe/thread/4164f4c1-f800-4865-af00-1dd14c1c4ce4

Try using RTO filters soaked in essential oil and placed next to snuff in a sealed jar until it’s to your liking. Inorganic so no mold issues.

i would probably use more than 10 drops. its probably going to have to be extremely strong for me to smell it

G"Day Gents,   I was just wondering if anyone has ever used Ginger to flavor snuff and or if there is a Ginger snuff already made, if not I will be making my own. G’Day

@TigerJackshere Yeah, Toque has a ginger snuff, and I think Wilsons has one as well.

I can give you one cautionary note. If you keep your snuff in the refirgerator, do be sure that it’s well sealed.  Put in a tin of KB, and as it would happen, the tin wasn’t sealed well, and neither was the Ziploc baggie.  Normally not a big deal, right?

Well, it turns out that my cat didn’t want to eat her dinner, and her bowl got put in for her to have a do-over in the morning.  As it happens, that wonderful KB had a nice salmon-and-chicken-liver flavoring the next morning.  Learn from my mistake.

(On the upside, the little cat *did* eat her food for breakfast.  I tell myself that it must have had a subtle KB flavoring to it.  Right?)

My son makes his own soda pop on special occasions. He uses Pickett’s syrup concentrate to make a spicy ginger ale. He also uses flavors from OliveNation.com, these are not syrup but flavor essence. These make for some really good tasting and smelling drinks. Anyway contemplating using some of them to flavor some blandder snuffs. I guess my question would be has anybody tried “flavor essence” to purposely taint snuff? He has rich dark chocolate, blueberry, French vanilla, banana, bubblegum and hot n’ spicy ginger beer. :-?
