Hi everyone,
I’m considering starting a YouTube channel to review snuffs, and towards that end I have crafted what I hope will eventually be an exhaustive list of the various attributes that matter in evaluating a snuff. Many snuff reviewers adopt a rather piecemeal and inconsistent approach. I hope that the community here can comment on the completeness of this list and the desirability of such a YouTube channel.
Packaging
- Quality of preservation
- Aesthetic
- Ease of opening
Grind (Fine, medium-fine, medium, medium-coarse, coarse)
Moisture (Dry, medium-dry, medium, medium-moist, moist)
Tin note (The smell of the snuff in the tin)
Pinch size (What would be an appropriate size pinch of the snuff?)
Sniffing method (Would this snuff be best taken via pinch, boxcar, kuripe?)
Ease of sniffing
- Introduction to nose
- Hold in nose
Flavor
- Description
- Enjoyability
- Duration
Nosefeel (Gritty, velvety, effervescent, dissolving, and so on)
Nicotine
- Onset
- Strength
- Duration
Burn
- Onset
- Strength
- Duration
Back drip
- Onset
- Amount
- Flavor
- Pleasantness/unpleasantness
Forward drip
- Onset
- Amount
Blockage/clearage (To what extent does the snuff tend to block or clear the sinuses?)
Nose duration (How long would you want to keep the snuff in your nose?)
Exsufflation (How difficult is it to blow the snuff out of the nose?)
Moreishness (How inclined are you to immediately take more of the snuff?)
Extended snuffability (Would this be an appropriate all-day snuff, or just an occasional pinch?)
Time of day (Is there a time of day when it would be most appropriate to take this snuff? If so, when?)
Time of year (Is there a time of year when it would be most appropriate to take this snuff? If so, when?)
Overall rating
Is this list missing anything that matters? Would you be interested in a YouTube channel which reviews snuff according to these systematic criteria?
Best regards from the Sonoran Desert,
