Note:With all the forum swapping, I’ve been carrying this across to each new forum. If you’ve requested snuff, I have it saved so no need to resubmit it, anything requested on the Proboards forum is saved.
Below is the original description.
I’m making some small batches of snuff, from tobacco grown here in Michigan, flavored (scented, cased what ever you would like to refer to it
as) with natural tinctures/extracts/essential oils from locally as well. I’m by no means a professional, just a hobbyist with some good,
naturally grown tobacco, so please remember to hold it to that standard. I don’t make this snuff as a “1 fits all” recipe, I have fine tuned it to my
nose, to what I find pleasant and enjoyable.All donations received, will be partially donated to the administrators of
the snuffhouse website(s) to help keep this website up and running, as is true, running a website is not free, and is almost a full time job in of it’s
self.
I will give you some teasers of the few different kinds I plan on making, they will be part of my Sherlock Holmes Genre and are artisan made in
small batches, so quantities are limited. They will be available in 5 gram amounts (pouch) and 10 gram amounts (tins) and will come with what I
call a “sensory note”, a small slip of paper that I would like the users to read, to get in the mind set of what I was aiming towards when I created
these blends. A small self-authored article and a small thumbnail photo of one of the best Sherlock Holmes illustrators (Sydney Paget). Prices
are yet to be established, but I foresee the 5 gram amounts being $4 and the 10 gram amounts being $9.

The Teasers:
Holmes’ Office
The scent and vision one experiences upon entering the office and home
of Mr.Sherlock Holmes. Though not overpowering, a strong hint of liquor
for Mr.Holmes recent indulgence in said beverage, the empty glass
sitting upon the beech mantle, with the smoldering coals of the fire
place. Mr.Holmes is sitting in his leather chair, with his unlit pipe in
hand, while he obsesses over his latest case. The case of the…
The Cursed Mire
The scent of the cursed mire. Sherlock Holmes notices a distinct aura
coming from the Mire. Not unpleasant, but a definitive smell of the
surrounding lowlands immediately awakens Holmes’ senses as to what
this case, the case of Sir Henry Baskerville, will entail. Upon walking
into a rather lowland upon the mire, Sherlock’s boots sink into the peat
and release a slight ooze of water from beneath him, this announced his
presence. A gentle step to the thicker grass ceased the sound, yet a
distance behind him the sounds continued. Sherlock crouched and turned
around to discover someone…or something following him…
The Queen’s Botanical
Alas, a case that seems almost dismal for the extreme talents of the
esteemed detective. While there are murders, conspirators and extremists
amongst the citizens of London, the queen has requested, rather, insisted
upon the efforts of Mr.Holmes in harnessing facts on what has happened
to the beloved electric blue orchids recovered from the tropics of Africa.
Mr.Holmes wanders upon the gardens which cover acres and acres. The
Queens Guard has eradicated all the workers from the garden and have
been posted upon the border to restrict onlookers.
Holmes discovers a small pile of ash, perhaps a cigarette butt. Upon
reading the remains “Murmons of New York” is apparent. A sound in the
distance, digging, perhaps a pick axe, a shovel? Holmes slowly walks
towards the trellis in the distance, upon the trail a fresh blood pool, not
yet dried, and still slightly red, rich with oxygen. A loud click, one of a
handgun being chambered most likely, erupts in the near distance,
Sherlock reaches for his pistol, but remembers it to be held by the guards
at the gates…
Hopefully these teasers have enticed you folks and will make you want
to sample the snuff. If you folks have questions, comments etc feel free
to comment.
I look for these to be released within a month or so
