SNUV’s Black League is one of my all-time favourite snuff’s. I love the way it moves from menthol, to tobacco, to fruit, to flowers and back again; like the spirit of God moving upon the face of the deep. I relish its black earthiness and coarse grind, which feels like a sumptuous mixture of large-crystal cane sugar folded with thick molasses. White Blow tastes exactly like Black League, yet with a welt inducing sting furnished by the crack of a braided whip. It has the same flavour complexity but with a jittery nicotine rush that accentuates the bags under your eyes and makes your neck itch. Like icing sugar, it is powdered excess through over refinement. If League is like Stan Getz’s “Girl from Ipanema” then Blow is like The Guess Who’s “American Woman”. It is the difference between the girl next door and a hip-booted dominatrix. Both can be similarly enjoyable…although fundamentally quite different. Recommended in small doses, its oil finish and fine grind tends to stick to the philtrum and the anterior nares. Given its pale colour, it is recommended to wipe thoroughly with a damp cloth after every uptake.

Well, that sound pretty good, as well as the Black League. I’ll admit I’ve not even looked at all the Snuv offerings, having had the “opportunity” to sample their Rigor Mortis herbal snuff. I didn’t realize there are real snuff options within the brand.
I’ll give some of their tobacco snuffs a go, and they can keep that awful herbal snuff. Honestly, Rigor Mortis is probably the worst thing I’ve ever put up my nose, right up there with whatever that Dragon snuff with the cayenne pepper or whatever it had in it that I tried years ago.
