Yeah I have alot of Toque, almost all of their range however, I find that they tend to block me up till the point of being unable to breath. Think it is the grind. I’ll have to try mixing them with Taxi Red, although I do like their no nonsense flavours with a lovely base tobacco. Just a shame they block me up really. Do you know of any course fruity snuffs?
I’m surprised to see De Kralingse snuffs generalized as coarse. I’ve used A/P and Ao and didn’t consider the grind coarse. However, SG Afterglow was very coarse in my estimation. I guess the definition of coarse is subject to interpretation.
The A/P and Ao are certainly a coarser grind than say the WoS or Toque products that would be considered medium… Is there a standard sieve size that delineates the grind classifications?
@ OTD There is: micrometer or mu 1/1000 of a milimeter. The latakia types of de Kralingse are sieved through 250 mu and the Virginia type through 400 mu. Jaap Bes.
@ snuffmiller: Is there an industry standard of any kind with respect fine, medium, coarse? Thanks for the info Jaap, this is really appreciated!
@ OTD: not to my knowledge. The way in which snuff is ground and sieved has changed quite a lot over the years. I think it also depends on the way the snuff is ground. That determines the distribution of the particles. Our Virginia types are sieved over 400 mu, but there are also a lot of particles in it which are finer than 400 mu. To find more information about that, you have to fractionate the snuff over several sieves with different width and determine the amount of each fraction. So I think a lot comes down to the grinding and personal experience of the snufftaker. Jaap Bes.
@snuffmiller: Well then, snuff said on that (-;_“So I think a lot comes down to the grinding and personal experience of the snufftaker.”_Well your personal experience certainly comes through in the end product as a testament of skill! Thanks again Jaap!
just got ntsu. i like the moisture not the coarseness (any tips)
@tasker: any tips as too what? not liking the grind? put it in a coffee grinder i guess.
i put a small amount in mi mill and it came out the same so i gave up and just started taking it the way it is,its the best that way
