I’am curious why do so many snuff makers have photo in the name? I’ve always imagined there is some interesting reason for that.
Actually in India a lot of the consumers are illiterate.They just count the number of pictures(photos) and purchase snuff of their choice.
makes sense. That’s the same reason in europe bussiness signs had a picture or statue showing the services or wares they offered. thank you much.
It just occurred to me that the Indian practice of using snuff as a dentifrice is nearly identical to the traditional method of dipping snuff as practiced in the American South. A peeled twig, often frayed and moistened at one end by chewing, would be dipped into the snuff can and used to brush snuff onto the gums. A finger was sometimes used if no twig was available.
Going to have to order some of these on my next order. edm
@ Vikas, welcome aboard. I was just going to ask the same question as bob. Many thanks for your answer.
6 photo will be in my next order to Mr Snuff on Monday.
The only indian snuff ive had is sun kohinoor. What would you guys recommend for a real good incense falvour.
@snuffhead you are welcome to ask anything on snuff.Well when branded snuff was introduced in India in the early part of the 20th century not many people could read or write,therefore counting pictures was relatively easier. So these names originated
@Brandasaur Try 6photo super kailash for it’s champa flavor.you shall surely like it.
@ Vikas, welcome! Which of the 6 photo snuffs has the jasmine scent?
@Bodger super kailash snuff is the one with the jaismine note. And guys don’t forget to post your reviews of 6photo snuff when use get it. I shall look forward to your comments .
The 6 Photo Snuff cans say “Sniffing Tobacco” on them.
@Vikas Thank you, that is the one I shall try then.
I was thinking of buying both 5 photo Himalaya and 5 photo Super Himalaya. You guys are saying 6 photo Kailash and Super Kailash are similar so should I buy 5photo of one and 6 photo of another? Sun Pari was amazing (already finished it) and people compare it to Himalaya a lot. I also tried 5photo Raja and really enjoy it as well but it’s a bit too floral.
@supsupsup if you are a sniffer try 6 photo kailash and go for 6 photo super kailash if you are a dipper.It is better for dipping.
As an American dipper, I don’t agree. Super Kailesh is awesome in the nose. I like it in the nose, more than the others, though the others are great as well.
To each his own !!!
@Vikas how would go about getting a half pound of your snuff here in Canada?
The one I’ve been enjoying is Anarkali, although I don’t know what the hell is in it. In my next order I’ll surely be getting more of it in the biggest size available, along with something else–probably the kailash.
