What is the strongest snuff(in nicotine) you ever had?

@Indiansnuff, was NC Super Special snuff amongst the list that you were trying to get hold of? From the NC Arya Snuff Company, in Chennai. I would say that’s the strongest snuff I’ve ever had, easily, although the NB Madras is pretty high to the top of the list, too. Really, Toque Quit comes across as a low-medium snuff after I’ve tried those two. I generally don’t start using them until late in the day, just because they ruin me for milder snuffs after I’ve taken them. While I find the whites sharp and pungent, and very good, I’d say that they are behind the two I mentioned for sheer force, except being so fine, they give you an instant hit. The other two aren’t quite so fine, so they don’t have quite the same initial impact … but ten to fifteen seconds later, they are right in there. I don’t get the “Oh my god, my head is spinning” result that some people talk about from ANY snuff, but those two always give me a few hiccups - “niccups”, I heard one person say.

@jakartaboy sadly i havnt heard back from NC yet, but i am planning to try and get hold of some

Up until now the strongest I’ve experienced is Toque Rustica. I’ve just ordered some NB Madras from @indiansnuff and am on the edge of my seat waiting for it :slight_smile:

@shezzuk1 you wont be disappointed :wink:

With out a doubt,NB Madras awesome,nice flavour and smell also.

@shezzuk1 ,you will need that seat after few pinch’s.lol

So far it’s Viking Dark for me.

With out a doubt,NB Madras awesome,nice flavour and smell also.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Cheers :slight_smile:

I’ve got an order from Indiansnuffs on the way which contains some NB Madras. Can’t wait to try it

^^^^ So far I only know of @indiansnuff selling the NB Madras. Maybe he has stolen a march on the rest of the snuff retailers (outside of India) & has in his inventory the strongest nicotine snuff available to the Western World?

It will be interesting to see if some of the other snuff retailers notice @indiansnuff’s new enterprise and if they feel the need to stock the products he’s now stocking. Of course, that would be a good thing for snuff users – but I kind of hope that he retains his early adapter advantage. I think he’s doing a great job introducing some new snuffs to users outside India.

I’m trying not to directly compete with anyone just fill a hole in the market for unknown Indian snuffs. I will just be happy if they all get just a little bit more attention outside of India as there is some real gems out there.

I would have to agree with some others in this thread and say that Toque Rustica (fine grind) is the strongest I have had.

I saw a few people say Viking Dark was the strongest snuff that they’ve tried. Well, I just received an order for half a kilo of the stuff. It’s certainly a good, strong, robust snuff, but I’d have to say that in terms of nicotine, it’s nothing like as strong as some of the plain Indians that I’ve tried and that have been mentioned on this thread. Not that strong nicotine is everything, of course. I certainly prefer the stronger snuffs, but I wouldn’t much care for a house guest who grabbed my bottles of spirits and eagerly checked the alcohol content on the label to ensure they met his minimum standards. I do think it’s only one factor amongst many and that some people dwell on it too much.

@JakartaBoy I agree with you. I don’t drink alcohol to become drunk, and I don’t use tobacco for the sake of feeling the very extreme effects of nicotine. Both alcohol and nicotine can help me relax, and there are times when I want more alcohol or nicotine than others, but… Point made. I tried Viking Dark recently, and to be honest, while I appreciate the flavor of it, I don’t really feel the N too much on it. I’m not sure that the effects are from nicotine, but of the dozen or so snuffs I have tried thus far (still a new snuffer), I get much more of a “body feel” and couch lock feeling (and actually a slight tingling in the feet, as though I had been standing in one place for far too long) from Fichtennadel. Now that may be a result of the rather large pinches I take of the Fichtennadel (I usually box car a pile that is about 1 cm in each direction, averaging 250-300mg a snuff), granted, but still, if the effects were any stronger for me from that one I would hesitate to drive a car immediately after using it. Shame I can’t find it in bulk, as it’s rather expensive at $4 per 10g tapbox, but I digress…

Nicotine content was never an issue with me… It’s all a matter of: How big a pinch do you take? and How often do you take a pinch? I don’t even notice the nicotine hit… For me, it’s all about: How much does it open up my sinuses?

I’ve been looking for a proper strong snuff for a while now, Toque Quit and NB Madras are on the low end for me, even ground up Samuel Gawith Brown No4 is only hitting a medium level, I guess years of cigars and pipes have given me a pretty high tolerance. The only one that comes close is 5 or 6 helpings of F&T Princes or SD with about 5 mins between each.

I just recently received some NB Madras from indiansnuff and it is very strong. It makes my front teeth tingle and no other snuff has ever done that. It probably isn’t for everyone, but I like it a lot, not all day, but it really has a lot of nicotine.

With 96% of the snuffs I have, I do not or hardly feel the nicotine, the exception however is Makla Neffa Ifrika which almost always gives me a 5 to 10 minute rush after 1 pinch! After that comes Viking Dark, but it will take a couple op pinches within minutes in order to achieve the same effect.

Just opened a fresh can of N.C. Super Special Snuff…Yow…Nicups, tears, Rush…Thanks for that! Me Like. :smiley:
