NTSU

I just got my NTSU, and I hope the people who suggest that it be taken straight up and not aired out aren’t being sarcastic. I’m “manning up” right now with a NAS U.S. Blend Hand Rolled Unfiltered in preparation. Come to think of it, I’m enjoying a “real” smoke so much, I think I’ll wait until tomorrow. I’ve been smoking NAS store bought menthols when I wanted a smoke, and my own unfiltered U.S. Blend’s really take the cake, even though they’re non-mentholated. Furthermore, with NAS tobacco, I can run 5 miles tomorrow morning no problem. Health Cigarettes!

I’ve tried Babaton and Taxi Red, which seem to be very similar to peoples’ descriptions of NTSU. (I’ve enjoyed them so much that I ordered one of every SA snuff that Tom carries) If Ntsu really is like Taxi and Babaton, I assure you they’re not being sarcastic; taking it as coarse and moist as it comes will be an outstanding experience. Take Xander’s advice and cram your nose full of it and pinch the receiving nostril shut long enough to absorb enough moisture that the snuff stays put. I think I may easily become addicted to this. I got my tin of Taxi on Friday and it’s almost half gone already…

can is amazing. Always considered them more of acid rock thing for sure. The maddest record collector I’ve ever known probably has ash ra tempels first album. This guy has so much stuff I’ve never heard of. Unfortunatly he’s a very annoying person to spend time with. Though he’s college radio station is definatly worth checking out (he’s the guy that turned me onto hawkwind by the way.)

I just got my three tins of Taxi Red and 6 containers of NTSU regular, but I’m afraid to use them since it’s almost 1AM. I can’t wait! Thanks to everyone for the recommendations. @bob I’ve been listening to Dylan, The Dead and Gram Parsons the last few days, but this weekend I have a pyschedelic sweat lodge planned, and although 90s avant noise like Flying Saucer Attack and Bardo Pond is on the main menu, I suspect I can slip some Can in for dessert. My younger friends demand noisier fare, as it happens, so I’ll have to wait until they can’t tell the difference. Record geeks and old skool hi fi snobs can be annoying. I used to be a DJ for awhile at KCSU in Ft. Collins CO, and I’m a Linnie, so I’m afflicted with both disorders myself. If you think a snuff addiction is bad, get into ebay record auctions and then start upgrading your LP12!

I just opened up my NTSU, let it sit for about three minutes, and did a small pinch in each nostril. I had no trouble getting it in my nose, but I’m glad I started with a small pinch. I have no idea where all the ions and molecules are in relation to regular snuff, but it provides one of the most interesting sensations I’ve ever had. The way it makes your nose run is insane; I would not want to use it in public, and no snuff has even come close to affecting my nose the way this one does. It doesn’t burn, it stings like hell. I capped it right back up to keep whatever is in there in there. The “catbox” smell is irrelevant; I agree that it should not be aired out nor ground up. Think of it as chocolate cake that has been annointed by some Egyptian Cat Goddess. It is some seriously mystical stuff. The less said about it, the better.

So it came from Bastet’s litter box?

I have to admit, I had to look that up. And now that I have, I find the thought strangely erotic. Which makes me even more inclined to lock the smash boxes up in a hermitically sealed device to keep that scent IN. And order a few more.

I love Bastet, but I love Apis a bit more.

I just received my mega-order, and the first on the “must try” list was this monster. I am inclined to agree totally and completely with all of Xander’s thoughts. This stuff is to be treasured. This is what god was thinking when he put tobacco on earth! Curing!? We don need no steenkin curing! Ammonia hit is wonderful! To dry this or grind this is and would be heresy. As I type this, I’m in tobacco heaven!

Is Taxi Apis’ leftovers, Chris?

Welcome to paradise, Zanaspus!

Taxi is the product of the leftovers.

brand new fresh NTSU, trying for the first time… yep, definate ammonia there an itty bitty nearly microscopic tip of the czech tool sniffed in each nostril (and it stayed!) I got a little bit of clear discharge (not the usual tobacco juice) and I immediately had to go to the bathroom (pretty sure that wasn’t a coincidence) wasn’t even really enough to smell it, buts impact is there and its way too soon to tell off such a one time really itty bitty (that was about the smallest possible amount there could be) and I don’t know why or what the deal is, but this is easier to use to me than taxi and I think I could learn to like this very possibly real quick

You could take it when in Sirshasana position (yoga head stand) :wink: I take it often after using a neti pot, that way it stays in my nose and the effect is doubled as far as nicotine is concerned. Have used it mixed with some schmalzler, also to keep it in the nose, not bad at all.

NTSU is currently right up there if its not my favorite then its certainly neck and neck for it (I wish NTSU came in bigger containers)

If it came in bigger containers the ammonia would have a chance to dissipate :stuck_out_tongue:

Took a good pinch of NTSU up each nostril. Squeesed my nose and it stayed there.Didnt bother to leave the lid off. New container, lots of ammonia. Took a couple of breaths through my nose and my lungs felt as if they were on fire. Seems ammonia and lungs dont get allong to well!. Learnt to leave the lid off for a couple of minutes,take the snuff from the surface and use a little SG apricot first to moisten the nose (helps keep the NTSU in place). Not a favourite snuff, just use a pinch ocassionaly when I am desperate for a full blown nicoteen hit,mostly after meals.

Of the three Gwayi types of snuff I’ve tried, NTSU is easily my #3. But then again, as Xander has said, NTSU is more about raw power than taste, where as the other two I’ve had…Babaton and Taxi Red, have pleasant flavors.

Found a new source of NTSU in the U.K. Its www.downsouthgroup.com. Cost is 99p for a 14g plastic container, there is no minimum postage and postage and packaging charges seems about at cost. You can email them and they will tell you the postage before you order. Hope this is of interest. Last time I ordered NTSU from another u.k site I was hit for £3.95 postage for uk delivery. Debit card was so traumatised, it is refusing to come out of my wallet. Wife will have to pay for my snuff now (I hope).

Yes, that link was posted before. It should probably get a permanent place in the FAQ section, under shops. If I was in the UK, I would buy from them. I could use 10 tubs a month (maybe 5 if alternating with Taxi).
