My choice snuff, by far, is McChrystals’ O&G, and I am considering buying a bulk tub. What exactly are the benefits of purchasing such a product. Will it stay fresh relatively long if I only open it up once every couple of days? I don’t use a whole lot of snuff everyday, but I would definitely like to have a tub in case PACT gets nasty. Any advice and info is appreciated. Thanks alot. ~Ken
buy bulk and open it every once in a while to fill up a snuff box/empty tin. if you pinch out of the bulk tub every time it will probably dry up.
Yeah, I’d recommend ermtony’s (I think, sorry if it’s miscredited) system. Store the bulk in an airtight container, like a bail and clamp jar. Take a little at a time out and put it in a tin, preferably an empty F&T or Toque tine. Then take from that tin what you’d like to use and put it in your snuff box. It’s cheaper, and doing things this way gets you fresher snuff while allowing it to stay in prime condition as long as possible.
Yes Morgan, that’s right. I have snuff which has been sitting in glass jars for over a year now and it’s still fresh. Only open the jar to fill your snuff box. The lids of your jars must be airtight. This is the best way of buying and storing snuff. No need to put it in the freezer/fridge, just keep it in a cool, dark place.
Awesome. That is what I will do then. Thanks alot, everyone. ~Ken
The question is what bulk snuff do I want??? I think possibly a gh possibly jasmine. I admit it’s even more amazing rehydrated can’t imagine it actualy still moist. Either way I should get a bulk tub of something.
Bulk snuffs are a whole new world of freshness, just sublime in most cases. I keep sealed and dark in glass, then decant to the extra large smash boxes (LACONS), from Tom. Keeps fresh for months in the smash box. They hold about 25 grams and I keep about 18 of them in front of the keyboard. My pound of IDHT #20 still reeks of ammonia in bulk, over 10 months old now.
That makes me happy even if I have no bulk snuff yet.
I was thinking of buying 1kg of Dr. Rumney Exclusive, but i fear to ask the price b/c then i will probably buy it.
@ Bob: Aireys of Kendal carries GH Jasmin in bulk. I’ve not had that one fresh, but the others I’ve gotten from there put the tap boxes to shame.
Yeah that is excatly what I was thinking. So glad aireys is back up I was wondering if that would ever happen.
