Coffee Kick Review

6 Photo Coffee Kick Grind: Fine Color: Dark Brown Moisture: Medium Snuff-ability: Easy Nicotine: High Source: Mr. Snuff; 30gram tin: $4.95 Light coffee scent over a nice rich tobacco base without the subtle incense notes found in some Indian snuff. Other than the whopping dose of Vitamin N, this is beginner friendly and tempting for veterans to reach for it frequently. Although there is no menthol in the tin aroma or description, there is a delightful residual cooling effect that lasts for about 15 minutes. A well made, quality product, it will never replace the old guard coffee snuffs, but is fun for occasional binge pinching. Overall rating (1-10): 6+

Got my tin of this today and I really do like it, not only is the coffee flavour lovely the menthol (I think) is not overpowering or congesting at all, and best of all unlike most snuffs that give me nothing this stuff has a noticeable kick of vitamin N. Horrible horrible tin though.

Emptied my tin of Coffee Kick recently and boy do I miss it… My head has been so congested with the onset of allergy season around here, I find myself looking in the empty tin wishing it would magically fill back up.

That tin seems to be engineered to inflict maximum frustration. I finally pried the bugger open with a screwdriver and decanted into a little glass jug. Easy to pour into a snuff box or spoon directly into those holes above my moustache :slight_smile: Allergy season started early and hard here in middle Tennessee so I’m going through Coffee Kick and Dr. Rumney’s at a very rapid clip. Time for some transactions with Roderick and Dave.

I give it 8/10. It is my daily now - until the last pinch is gone. :slight_smile: It always makes me wanna eat some cocoa waffles. And I eat whole pack at once. So it is not just a Coffee Kick to me, it is also an Impact of Glucose.

One tin down and it’s become one of my top 5 and other than Viking Dark one of my most used snuffs. Though just to emphasize how bad the tin is.

I think that can only come from sheer desperation to stick ones snout in the snuff trough, so to speak! I get the lid off all those vacuum tins with a coin, my fingers, and a bit of patient persistence…

Is it harder to get into then pipe tobacco tins? I know I have to use a coin with those but, they provide a nice notch in the tin.

Lid in my Coffee Kick seems to be a bit too loose. It just falls off sometimes.

@Viertel - can’t believe you’ve changed that comment since I put it on the out-of-context page…hehe!

Why shouldn’t I change it? :stuck_out_tongue: It can be seen in that topic, so here I can make it more understandable

Someone PLEASE do a youtube video on how to open those tins. They are they best tins around and SO easy to open, but yet seem to baffle so many members here. And before another catastrophe happens like the tin above, its like opening a can of paint. You have to work the lid at every 90 degree point, and it pops right off.

Really want to try this one. The high quality and unique characteristics of Indian snuffs make this one a priority on my next order.

Not much different than S. Gawith vac sealed 25 gram tins, just a wee bit tighter. I finally figured it out and use a screwdriver and as Xander notes, twist at the 90 degree points and voila! Snuff :slight_smile:

I’ve only had experience with the SG tins, but if they don;t come off with a twist using the blunt end of a bottle opener, punch a hole in the back of the tin to release that vaccuum, stick a bit of tape over that, and then the lid comes off easily.

I mixed some w.e. Garrett sweet with some silver dollar coffee and it is actually pretty good!

The tins are not that bad,infact they are quite good. Just involves a little technique to open them up. Like @ Xander mentioned in his post just need to rotate the tin a few times while applying pressure to lift the lid at different points,it comes off pretty smoothly. I shall post a you tube video on it shortly.

i have posted a video on opening the tin http://youtu.be/WPfLcIFlcCE let me have your feedback on this

Thank you @sixphoto! I usually use a small screwdriver myself and twist it in the groove, but if you can do it with just your fingers, then good job!
