@Igglet I can see where a barn yard could smell good, fresh even, well, without the manure from the barnyard animals LOL But even that’s part of nature and earthy-smelling in the field. And LOL about the Bacon Cheese snuff, I can’t believe they actually made that–I would have figured only an American company could come up with such a flavor 
Now I’m curious and may have to try it!!! I will try the Alpine too.
I can’t think of anything more disgusting than bacon and cheese snuff (well, I can but I won’t mention it here).
My girlfriend agrees completely. I think I like disturbing her more than how much I like the snuff. I did have a co worker smell it and, she really liked it though. I thought it odd for a lady to like Bacon and, Cheese snuff. She thought Vanilla snuff smelled disgusting.
At the moment I’m having a bit of an issue with any ‘flavoured’ snuff, with the exception of Hedges and FUBAR medic, both of which I like, but in small doses. Recently I’ve tried Kendal Toffee (reminded me of car air freshener), Toque Espresso and Toque Strawberry (not too bad and nice feel to take, but flavour-wise not for me), and WoS Winter Warmer (sugar, syrup etc), all interesting experiences bit not ones I would rush to repeat. I’m really liking the fairly plain ‘tobacco flavour’ snuffs like Viking, and loving WoS Best SP, gorgeous.
Buy snuff whose names doesn’t give any clue what’s inside. You shall be surprised anyway
Or buy a snuff that is a surprise! Toque’s Crazy George!
I’m liking the S. Gawith Grousemoore so much that I seriously may not be trying anything else for a while…it came in a big tin that’s gonna require a snuff bullet or something to carry around a portable supply. I do think I’d like a mild unflavored toast though.
Sad. I can not find S. Gawith Grousemoore online to buy. Never mind. I found it.
I received some nifty gadgets in the mail today that I purchased from Ebay: snuff bullets!!! The perfect little amount gets served up and ready-to-snuff… easily Since using this, I haven’t had much drip back out and I definitely haven’t snorked any all the way up to hit the back of my throat like I did big time this morning (yuck! but it happens).
Some reviews of the acrylic ones mention low quality, and snuff leaking out, but mine seem to be pretty sturdy and definitely aren’t leaking at all, except for that the turn dial wants to slide out some, almost like it’s going to pull out, but it’s attached on there pretty good and I just make sure to press it in all the way when I go to get some snuff. And these have acrylic heads but glass bottles, so, although breakable, they’re sturdy (gonna try to carry them in a little pouch to prevent breakage).
I was considering giving up the habit because I couldn’t seem to get my sniffs right and consistent each time, but with this it’s no-brainer perfection every time. I got 5 snuff bullets for $9.95 and that included shipping. What a great small investment for something I will enjoy (probably a little too much) over time
@stormtracker_wv, consider trying a spoon. Makes a big difference to how snuff tastes. I recommend the Mr Snuff stainless steel or titanium jobs.
I use my pipe tool as a spoon. I’m glad you didn’t leave us @stormtracker_wv. I find the longer I snuff the harder it is for me to mess up snuffing. Like my body is unable to mess it up. I doubt it will be true with the super dry and, ultra fine snuffs.
@JakartaBoy, thanks for the advice, a spoon is next on my list of accessories, never thought it could enhance the flavor of the snuff. And @Igglet, yesterday I tried some Wilson’s and Sharrow “Thyme & Lemon” that spilled out while filling my snuff bullet bottle–omg it’s so fine and dry it never hit my nose, it went right down my throat and didn’t even cause a sneeze or anything, it just shot right down LOL I’m not sure how I’ll ever learn to do that…may have to “swipe and wipe” that one with a wet finger
Maybe I’m just not very good at this stuff–I’ve also been trying to learn how to pack a pipe bowl properly with tobacco so it will smoke right. Not going so well LOL Next stop is my local pipe shop and see if the owner will give me a quick lesson
I CAN smoke a cigar–that’s one thing that’s hard to mess up
Oh I can mess up smoking a cigar. I always make it trail. Every time. I’m starting to think it’s something beyond my control.
I’ve also been trying to learn how to pack a pipe bowl properly with tobacco so it will smoke right.
First lesson is DONT pack your pipe, instead FILL it. Gravity fill and the lightest tamp at the top, a charring light or two and you should be okay. You`ll get better with time and experience. Sorry fot OT.
@Igglet, speaking of dry/superfine snuffs, I’m still at it trying the American Scotch snuffs…but mostly they shoot right down the back of my throat LOL It was suggested that I boxcar these but I am scared to death of taking in that much snuff at once–although it was explained that a bigger “pile” is what keeps it from shooting right back there, like it blocks itself. I don’t know LOL I really want this work–I enjoy the Tops Sweet. As for the imported snuffs, I’m still not sure it’s doing what it’s supposed to do in my nose. The Grousemoor is still my favorite (I even bought it in a pipe tobacco version), but Fribourg & Treyer is gaining strength on my favorites list (Patchouli), as-is Wilson’s “Thyme and Lemon”.
The Wilson’s is in a tiny 5g tin that’s nearly impossible to get open–I just spilled a good portion of it onto my sweater trying to open the can So far the only thing I don’t care much for is the Silver Dollar snuff. I have Spearmint. The flavor doesn’t last, and I don’t mind coarse snuffs, but it’s just, well, lackluster for me compared to the British imports A lot of folks are trying the Indian snuffs, but I’m afraid to try them–not only are they very strong, but folks have mentioned they’re dark black and stain their handerchiefs and under their fingernails and such…makes me wonder if they aren’t mixing some Beetlenut in there
Some of my snuffs–particularly the Grousemoor (it’s in a 25g tin) are starting to get clumpy–I have heard of folks putting a few grains of dry rice in there to keep them dry in case moisture gets in (and I would assume moisture = clumps). any advice on this?
I too am afraid of the Indian snuffs. I am trying to promise my self I will order some on my next order. I have been told they are not that scary.
