Hi, I am looking to try some rustica snuff, so far i have found Toque rustica, dholakia white tiger (i think is rustica) not sure if ntsu is rustica.
would like some more ideas on what is definitely a rustica snuff for my next order .
thanks.
Pure rustica (well alkalized, certainly) - Neffa Ifrikia https://www.northerner.com/eu/catalog/product/view/id/15171/s/neffa-ifrikia-nasal-snuff/category/2399/. Or wait patiently until snuffstore.co.uk restocks and get fresh stuff then.
But don’t expect nothing out of this world. Just a good, stronger than medium plain snuff.
Toque USA Whiskey & Honey and Ambrosia contain both N. tabacum and N. rustica. Same for SWS Lundy Foot and St. James Parish.
6P Super Kailash is described as “a mixture of the very best sun cured Rustica tobacco along with a tasty blend of aromatic Himalayan Herbs”. I have to say I don’t feel much nicotine there - if Super Kailash really contains N. rustica, it’s probably some lower-nic variety.
NTSU and Taxi do not contain rustica, just boosted pH which increases the deprotonated nicotine, hence more powerful kick.

Moro Moro and St. James Parish by Sir Walter Scott have rustica in their blends. You can also buy whole leaf rustica and make your own. I’ve done it many times and the results have been quite satisfactory.

I think all of the SWS snuffs contain more or less rustica.

 I may be wrong but I believe that Toque quit has Rustica in it.

Maybe some of the FUBAR as well.

The FUBAR Willie Pete has that whitish color similar to the White Elephant, White Horse and Cheetah. For what it is worth.

I think it’s a lot of hype about rustica having so much more nicotine than "regular " tobacco. I have a big bag of toque pure rustica, about 6 or 7 years old. It’s nice but nothing special. I get the same feeling as I do from any other snuff. I may be jaded because I have been snuffing for so many years. But overall I don’t get a lot of anything special from rustica. I even grew it in my garden as some long time members will recall. My homemade rustica snuff is delicious and scented with clove and vanilla but in the end it’s just another good snuff. Nothing more, nothing less.

@mrmanos, so true. Tho I bet rustica would still tickle any smoker’s lungs, no matter how high the tolerance is. I recall it as a hard smoke.
I upped mine with gul and madras to the level I don’t feel anything more than simply taking a regular pinch or a prilla and feeling contented. With stronger snuff, snus or makla that feeling lasts a bit longer, that’s all. I feel different burn with different pH and my heart tells me if the stuff’s stronger than medium. But no buzz, and I don’t need it anymore. I’m slowly returning back. A burn-out.
