I can second what @ALLex had said - sounds like you are uptaking too much nicotine. It indeed happens, when you are smoking and taking snuff simultaneously, or with too short intervals between consuming both, I and some of my friends have experience…
@Abdoulaye, is this Moroccan nafha (Nefha Superieure) still produced and sold in Morocco? And how wide is its availability - can you find it in every shop which sells cigarettes, or only just in some and it's kind of hard to find? How much does it…
Yes, start with 4% sodium carbonate, dissolved in 15% water. That is, 0.4 g sodium carbonate dissolved in 1.5 g water for 8.1 g tobacco flour. Stir very well for at least 5 minutes, place in a small airtight container and leave to rest for 3-4 days.…
Last pinch of my homemade, medium coarse, medium moist snuff – Poschl Pueblo Classic rolling tobacco, milled with factory moisture content and sauced with 3% potassium carbonate, 1% sodium carbonate, 1% salt, dissolved in 20% water.
@Abdoulaye, yes, you can use sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) without converting it to more alkaline sodium carbonate (washing soda), but your snuff will be weaker if you use it as a single alkalizer. For strong snuff, you definitely want to use str…
Hi @Abdoulaye! If you are in Morocco, you probably can source strong tobacco leaves (rustica tobacco, the one used for oral tobacco - chema) in the market or from some other place, like this guy in the video, and make your own nefha. Obtaining cle…
@StudiodecolBleu, to be frank, I'm not sure about MSG, it's rather controversial substance... Available on some local online stores where I'm at, it is ridiculously cheap. I'm really on a fence about adding it to tobacco.
But how's your rock tumbl…
Some steaming-fresh Hollander Bolongaro, made from Poschl Pueblo Classic tobacco this morning. Already nice!
Many thanks to Jaap Bes @snuffmiller for the recipe!
@mrmanos, well, it also depends on... your tongue. For instance, there's only one verb for taking snuff in Latvian language - šņaukt – "to snort". "Snuff" is šņaucamā tabaka, literally – snortable tobacco.
And it was exactly the same in Lithuanian …
@ALLex, indeed, looks akin to Ntsu. Nice! Can't wait to source some cheap additives-free Cuban cigars and turn them to snuff. Will try them with and without the carbonate/salt, finely and coarsely ground (drier and moister, respectively). Just three…
Obviously, it's anything but Sales & Pollard. It is clearly stated that Sales Pollard company "established a reputation for fine Rappee and Scotch Snuff"; they made Scotch snuff, bearing the initials of the firm. Thing they made wasn't an SP typ…
Cheers! WoS SSC gives a phenomenally sharp sting, most probably due to the salmiak or some other ammonium salt added (or a rather high pH; or both). It's not a menthol bomb, it doesn't contain any essential oils or camphor (or they are there in mini…
Only have some "A" now (a gram of really old Perlesreuter doesn't count, for it has lost most of the flavour now), so cannot compare them directly, but Perlesreuter had more things going on. I could clearly smell coffee/chocolate-like notes, the aro…
I'm in EU, so can't recommend any stores for the US, but check out this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Snus/comments/jcx76j/rsnus_must_read_threads_new_here_looking_for/
Do try loose snus! Get one of each (there aren't many), but leave strong, extra str…
Milling Burley this morning. Leaves naturally moistened outside overnight, about 10-14% moist now. I was interested to see if my coffee grinder would cope with naturally moist leaf (usually I dry them out to bone-dry before milling), and it turned o…
