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

Probably SG Darks… they are real nice but tend to kick my butt when over indulged in, also raise my bp too much so dont use them all day. The coarser snuffs seem to take longer to feel (larger particles=slower release?) so by the time its kicks in good I’ve had too much. Now its smaller and fewer pinches on the darks. For the rest of the day its toque pretty much.

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.

While I certainly agree with you to an extent, I can also see the other side of the argument. Nicotine level is important so some (myself included) because of the viability of snuff as an alternative to smoking. Big pinches are the key though, so I don’t worry about nic level as much as I used to.

Taxi red and NTSU black have been the strongest snuffs I’ve used.

@doctorbeat I agree that if you’re trying to quit cigarettes a fairly powerful snuff will be desirable. Really only the Indian plains compare to the hit from a cigarette to me. You do adjust to using a wider variety but in the start it’s good to be able to actually satisfy your need.

Dholakia White. Also, I feel like Abraxas Cerise is like nasal Copenhagen or something. Am I alone in these thoughts?

A heinous mixture of cheetah, honest scotch and Quit. That one is the only one that’s sat me down… I might have to sample it again.

I am over exposed; but willie pete works and all the indians whites,Toque Quit, Whiskey & honey, Toque Rustica . Most non sweet scotches,Thuoc lao, also Dholakia Aniseed - But I have to be in the mood.

@doctorbeat, yeah, sure. I don’t really like the idea of alcohol-free wine, either. Most of my favourite snuffs are at least middle strength and usually stronger. But I think it’s more a matter of, Does the snuff have ENOUGH nicotine in it? Rather than, which one has the most.

Not sure if it qualifies as a snuff or a snuss but I had some homemade jelly looking tobacco substance that one of my Qatari students gave me that can either be rubbed in the nose or packed under the upper lip. Somehow, they put a miniscule amount of sand in it to help it penetrate the gums/nasal membrane easier. Guy told me it was illegal to produce there. I had a massive head rush for 2 days. They also smoke a strange tobacco/herbal mixture in the Gulf called Midwakh. It’s strong and definitely an acquired taste. To me it seemed like taking a hit off the tailpipe of a bus.

Dholakia White. Lawd!

Willie Pete blew me up the first time trying it

6Photo ‘Natural’ gives a strong nic hit and has the most amazing and pleasant noseburn I’ve experienced this far. Viking Brown makes my nose ‘pulsate’-Heavy on nicotine…really have to try the NB Madras soon! =P~

All I can say is that this thread gave me a lot of help with my latest Mr. Snuff order.

For me personally, I’ve found the Toque USA Whiskey and Honey to be the strongest, and I would place it well above Quit. In fact, I think I over did it the other day when I took probably too big a pinch, ended up with a cold sweat and felt rather sick! The snuff clearly taught me to give it the respect it deserves, we learn from our mistakes though!

Personally, I was rather surprised by the nic hit in WoS Gold Label. Most of their snuffs seem to be mid to low on the nic, but I get a good buzz every time from Gold Label. It’s certainly not the strongest I’ve had, but has a great balance between scent and nicotine.

My two cents, for the little they’re worth, is that nicotine is a side benefit of snuff. My focus has always been on the leaf and judicious addition of whatever scents the maker had in mind. The nicotine is a bonus. That said, for both great nicotine delivery and nigh perfect pure tobacco scent/flavor NB Madras is the cat’s meow. Since that wonderful snuff is getting rare and hard to get, TPS Madras is a suitable substitute. It is an ‘8’ to the NB Madras ‘10’. When I want nicotine I reach for a Camel non-filter. If that doesn’t settle the blood pressure I follow up with a large lip full of Copenhagen Fine Cut. If that doesn’t work, I take a long nap and start all over again.

Agree completely with @chefdaniel‌ the nicotine is a side benefit and keeps me reaching for the smokes. If you just look for high nic then I think you miss out on some of the best snuffs out there. I’ve never had a ‘nic buzz’ from snuff, no matter what or how much I take. Guess my tolerance is too high from years on the strong ‘roll your own’ tobacco.

I feel lucky that I never was a heavy smokey. I went through 2 packs of 20 cigarettes a week at most. Some weeks one pack lasted me a week. I still never get that supposed “High” from nicotine. Although my second experience with drugs was marijuana. I have quit a long time ago but, I started when I was nine cause my cousin thought it would be funny to get a 9 year old high. So my perception of high may be jaded. With nicotine I either feel I am feeling good, I need more, or oh my gosh I need to lay down Too much! TOO MUCH!

My experienced opinion: it´s easy to get hooked on High-nic snuffs and then discard or use sparingly other great snuffs you loved before but don´t get you so high. Then you get tolerance to the “powa” and only the first sniff of the day gives you a buzz, doesn´t matter how many pinches you take after. What then? You´ve ruined your snuff palate for a brief nic-rush and never will be a snuff-virgin again. ~X(

What is this “buzz” you speak of? :stuck_out_tongue:
