Ive just seen this reviewed on the snuff review site, never heard of it - anybody know anything about this?
Are you thinking of the Gawith Cola?
This kind of coke snuff?? 
Or this kind of coke snuff?? 
haha
Lol. But I don’t think so, its something that is on the review site, it looks like a brand rather than a type - its certainly reviewed as one.
I see, snuffster. The brand is Coke, and there are different flavors. Snuffalufagus reviewed them, from his reviews, it sounds like this snuff was around 30 years ago. I would assume that it was named “Coke” to capitalize on the use of Cocaine at the time, which was it’s hey-day.
Is that guys throat slit?

snuffster, It was talked about on this link
That’s wild stuff. Thanks for bringing that back up, Troutstroker.
Thanks TS, it says made in England, if its tobacco snuf in there I wonder if one of the companies around now made it?
If you turn to pages 150-151 in Richard Meltzer’s Gulcher (1972), you will find a chapter about Cökesnuff. Here it is in its entirety: [quote] [color=#0033CC][size=24]Some Things Are Better Left Unsorted[/size][/color] I saw an ad for some new snuff called Cökesnuff and figgered it was either jesus fuckin great or white like that other white stuff or at least a new one so it’s worth tryin out. So I sent in my two bucks in cash for the sampler and what I got back was the biggest surprise in all the days of my life, TWICE the amount of snuff I expected and a letter addressed personally to yours truly: [align=center]Hi Richard You must be the same cat snuffing in the April Rags. I’d like to hear your comments about Cökesnuff. Rap with me sometime―215-732-6300 215-Ch8-9408 Call collect Thanks Leslie Tobin[/align] First I tried the patchouli flavor Cökesnuff and just the sight of the tobac clued me in as to why there’s that umlaut on the Coke, it’s brown not white. A quick cursory snort and where was the flavor? One more and what was the flavor? Menthol maybe but not much patchouli but there was a decent sneeze. Cherry next and then I knew what the score was. This was just another run-of-the-mill pseudo-flavored American-made brown dunger like Garrett and all the rest even though it was made in England. There’s all these others like Highland Mills and they’re all worthless even as a last resort in a town where there’s nothin else. Cherry Cökesnuff’s no exception and neither is the flavor: none. Well there’s the flavor of the tobacco with a little hint of polyethylene (hey they could have airplane glue flavor but they don’t) and it’s not even a sneezer. Jasmine! Yeah sure it’s jasmine, my ass it’s jasmine, some perfumes have jasmine and this one’s plenty perfume-y but no jasmine in sight. Bad aftertaste too so it’s on to strawberry right fuckin away! That’s what they call it but if it’s strawberry I’ll eat the tin, it’s more like a carrot but maybe it’s just a cross between the jasmine and the cherry and it smells just like a model of the U.S.S. F.D.R. without the glue so patchouli’s lookin better and better. Patchouli. Not bad. Mighty fine. Same kind of tickle but sneezing’s out this time cause of the rough time caused by the other stuff to the nasals which means it’s as good a time as any to check out the others one more time. Cherry. If you really work on it and think it over it’s kinda like cherry pie cherries already in the pie and cooked but it’s too hidden to do much good. But there’s some promise. Strawberry again! Kiss the shit goodbye, it’s not even rhubarb! Jasmine tastes like strawberry and there’s a sneeze so maybe somebody at the snuff plant mixed up the labels (could be). Patchouli’s mild and unobjectionable and even the tobacco taste is out of the picture so it’s the best to offer somebody if you don’t wanna ruin his day. But it’s not what a good snuff should be, a pair of shades for your nose. If it is then it’s pretty clear lenses so I guess I’ll just file my report to Leslie Tobin right now: [align=center]Les, your snuff is―to put it mildly―a rip-off of all honest hardworking snuffers with two bucks to kill on a new hit. As with all snuff tasters I went thru the ordeal of clearing out my passages with Dristan and a lotta water’s gonna go under my bridge before I get fooled again. I did not call you collect because I would not soil my hands on the telephone just for your benefit. If you were an elephant I would stick your entire stash up your trunk. Never in my life have I, you can betcha life you vermin. Fuck you, you criminal, R. Meltzer[/align] But since the Cökesnuff people were so kind to send me double the amount ordered Leslie (male or female?) deserves a break: [align=center]Dear Leslie, Thank you very much. Patchouli tastes best, jasmine is second, cherry is third, strawberry is fourth, in that order. Made in England, is it? Well keep up the imports! Best of luck, R. Meltzer[/align] [/quote]
I bought a bunch of this stuff at a place called “Maddies” in Fort Collins CO back in 1971 if I recall. One of the best placebo highs I’ve ever had. I love the dated references: Dristan! I haven’t seen that stuff for ages.
This is a good piece of snuff lore for our archives. Thanks, kjoerup. I’m sure it was lousy snuff, though I’d like to get some for their place in history. Ebay perhaps.
I am intrigued by the patchouli snuff. Does anyone know who makes one aside from cokesnuff?
@ NJE03: Supposedly Fribourg & Treyer used to have one. The master list on top25snuff.com also shows a Frederick Tranter one.
I agree lofat. It’s even worse in snuff then it is on a person. I tried making some with that stuff once just to see what would happen. It was terrible terrible. And it’s one of the scents that ruins every snuff you try for hours afterwards.
I’m no fan of Patchouli either, it is a love or hate thing for sure.
Thats a hell of a lot of writing about snuff given the time. Would anyone in the US have even known what snuff was when this novel came out? Ive never heard of Richard Meltzer.
Thanks Xander, I will look into those.
@ snuffster: I never heard of him either, but he’s got an article about him in wikipedia: Richard Meltzer. Looks like he had a strong following in those days, and was still active as recently as 2003.
