Usually I don’t feel a “nic hit” that I am aware of with snuffs, but Ithink the strongest snuff I have had is this snuff I picked up at an Indian grocery called T.A.S. Madras Snuff. As a snuff it’s not all that in terms of flavor, it’s just a fine grind plain natural tobacco, and I really don’t detect anything else. Sorta reminds me of Toque Natural. But after a couple of sniffs of this, I feel like I just put a wad of Copenhagen in my mouth. Well, not that bad, as such oral tobaccos usually made me feel sick, but I seriously feel a slighter version than that, when I snuff this. It’s not a snuff I’d buy again, as I prefer a flavor of some type, but I believe I definately got a “nic hit”.
These deliver: Three Thistle Strong De Voe Sweet Rooster These help me battle the urge I still occasionally have for a cigarette!!
Toque Quit Bespoke Gin & Tonic and I hear that the new Dholakia Black is a heavy hitter…can’t wait to get my sample!
How about this one- De Kralingse Latakia AO 1860 This is strong with a pipe tobacco like smell to it.
I’m getting a whole new nic experience since I’ve been sniffing off the back of my thumbnail more and using the bullets less. I’m kind of re-trying everything but I would still go with 3 thistles strong.
Mark, I’ve tried the thumbnail for the first time today and it works pretty well. It enables me to sniff up all the snuff as against taking it from my “snuff cavity” or back of hand which usually leaves a bit which I can’t reach.
Tin Can Man, welcome to THE forum!! All of the American scotches I’ve tried so far, gives a good kick. Three Thistles and WE Garrett are 2 of my favourites when it comes to nicotine contents. Have you checked Snuff Reviews.com? If not, do so. There you will find comments from the experts which will give you the best indication of what you can expect.
I’m sure pinching is still best, I just haven’t mastered it yet, not that I’ve really tried. The thumbnail method with the bullet as a dispenser still works better for me if i’m walking a dog. At least if the dog suddenly pulls on the leash, I may drop a small bump, not spill the whole tin. When I’m driving bullet is still the easiest, to me.
Pieter- I thought Bruton was much stronger than WE Garrett.
Rooster and FUBAR Grunt deffinately have bite to them. FUBAR has become a daily for me due to the nice nic bump and the strange coconut chaser flavor I get.
I agree with the Grunt, that odd burnt cigar-coconut combination has really grown on me as well and it is in my daily rotation now.
tom, Bruton tastes stronger than any of the other Americans to me but I get more of a buzz from WE Garrett.
I really like the Grunt as well. I like all the Fubars, I think it’s one of the best lines of Dholakia mades, they all are very good.
Toque Quit without a shadow of a doubt. Stefan
Toque Quit is strong . I feel a good nick kick in coarse snuffs like Kendal Browns from Gawith Hoggath or Samuel Gawith .
Many thanks everyone for all the great replies! I’ll give some of the above mentioned brands a go. I Chewed Copenhagen for many, many years and have recently switched to sniffing snuffs. Problem is, I need a good nic hit. It’s a bit of a challenge to stop what I’m doing every 5 minutes to put a 1/2 gram of snuff up my nose. People are like:…“What’s this guy up to?”

The hit is never as intense as a smoke or dip, even with the so called high nicotine snuffs. The biggest overall blast seems to come from Indian snuff - Dholakia Kamal for example - but that is also made up of the burn that comes with the grind. Still, I find the plain snuffs the most satisfying; Wilsons best SP, Toque Quit, original and Natural to name a few.
