I’ve found a number of snuffs that I love for everyday use, and a number I love on a more infrequent basis because they seem too “special” to use everyday (for example, F&T Bordeaux and Old Paris, and Wilson’s Strasbourg). So in an effort to expand my collection of extremely special snuffs, I’m wondering what people would choose if they could have one last pinch before their journey into The Hereafter. If you were on your death bed, and you had time for one last pinch (for each nostril, of course), what would it be?

I would want a big fat line of bloom from ten thousand fine Cuban cigars! By the way, I have snuffed bloom and it’s quite nice. Realistically every snuff could be your last. Schmalzler A will do.

I really don’t have any special snuff. Right now I would say I’d want some Dholakia White, which is my present favorite. Last month I couldn’t get enough of the Poschl Schmalzler’s. There really isn’t a snuff that I don’t like. I enjoy the American Scotch snuffs as well as the sweet snuff. Same goes for the snuff from across the pond. I just really enjoy snuff. It’s all kind of special IMHO. I guess I’m still searching for that special snuff that you speak of. Paul Z

I’d want something bad, like WoS Jasmine, so I’d really be ready to leave.

A cone shaped joint that is somewhat large and impressively rolled… But, if i only had time for one last pinch…Taxi Red

When I was rushed into hospital for emergency surgery on 30th September last year I grabbed a box of WoS Best SP, one of Dr JR Justice and one of a toast, I forget which to take with me. So I guess it would be either Best SP or JRJ. Luckily for me they didn’t turn out to be death bed snuffs… (Edit) - now I remember - the toast was Whisky & Honey, so perm any one of the three.

Probably tell them to make a runny slurry of Toque Quit administered through a Netipot into all my orifices–kind of a pre-embalming fluid.

I would want to celebrate my life with some Toque Champagne. Everyone in the room with me would have to take a celebatory pinch too! That would be a great way to leave this world!

I would want a good dark schmalzler that lingers in your nose for 10-15 minutes. Probably Bernard’s Aecht altbayerischer or Pöschl’s perlesreuter walder fresco.

Since I started the thread, I’d like to say that mine would probably be McChrystal’s Mild Lemon. I’d like to have tears in my eyes and an “Oh My God” or at least a “Holy F@#k” on my lips at the moment of shuffling off This Mortal Coil.

Awesome Topic! I just saw a cartoon where a guy was about to be hanged, he was in the noose, and next to him stood a doctor administering the gentleman’s last pinch. If that were me it would be a mixture of #22 and Levi Garrett, with some White for that shit your pants rush.

What was the cartoon? Would be a good one to add to the movies with snuffing scenes thread.

If it’s something special to go out with a bang, I would prefer to go with F&T’s Princes. It’s always been an inside joke among those close to me that I’m ‘The Prince’ (my coworker has adopted the title of ‘stable boy’, which, when we get into our respective moods, makes for some very funny dialogue, hah!) and the snuff is both deliciously scented, easy on the eyes, nice to touch and easy to sniff as well- no sneezing before I die! I would offer my snuff box to everyone in the room, joke that the prince shall impart this royal luxury upon passing, before taking a pinch myself and dying with my nose screaming of geranium. Though I’m loving Bart’s idea, too, ROFL!

Spanish Jewel and I don’t care how long it takes to find some,I’ll wait.

I’d go for Poschl President. Not because its my favorite or what I would consider the best, but rather because it was one of my first snuffs and holds a special sentimental value for me. But then who knows; the last time I came close to dying all I could think of was my kids.

I got this image from the A Pinch of Snuff by Benson Earle Hill (1840). This book is hilarious. The book can be found in the Snuff Literature category here at snuffhouse. I’ve never posted an image here so 'm not sure how to. I used the attachment function, didn’t work. A link to the page didn’t seem to work out either. So, the image is just below page 102 when you open the book in google. Try this.Last Pinch

Bernards Aecht Altbayerischer or Brasil Feinst Schmalzler…so GOOD, like desert to me.

@ wildhorsemane: awesome cartoon!

Anything that will hasten my demise, such as some nice and stale Dholakia Wine & Cheese or something nice and drippy like Poschl Lowenprise or something nice and sickly like Toque Pomegranate or Wilsons Jasmine.

hahah MMuk!!, you’re the only clever one so far! quick thinking…at least one person would die that day!

What the hell - I’d want a cigarette.

In dealing with the grim Reaper there is only surrender as a solution. We all should be so fortunate as to be offered a pinch of ANY snuff in his presence.

Death Be Not Proud, but He be stingy with his snuff.

a cocktail of every snuff i had ever tried.

I wonder how many googles searches for the creepy meaning of ‘death snuff’ have pointed to this thread

Garrett Scotch! Brute strength and national pride to see me out…

Quit Irish Coffee.

@Dominicshore I have that cocktail… sorta… or at least a large tea-tin of the so-far collected snuffs that I wasn’t able to take (for one reason or another) plus a few fillers I felt I could spare “recipe” aka 'trying to salvage and make this mess sniffable") and if it needed a name so far I guess it’d be: “Naked Natural Brown Blend Rose” 5g Rocket Naked (most of a small tub) 10g toque berwick brown 10g Toque Natural 10g approx QWS Smoker’s Blend (small tub plus 3 large green bullets) .5g Toque Rose (approx half a Toque Bullet) believe it or not this (seems like a gazillion grams of it must be in there since it takes up over half the tall 4 oz tin) is currently *almost* sniffable and reminds me even just a very little of McChrystals S’nuff (which I like do, have a very litle bit of left and is not in the mix) but it needs more fillers to tame it down more. anyway I guess maybe this makes a good Death Bed Snuff (because I’m not sure it’ll ever be good for much else, still kinda thinking maybe I wasted a bunch of snuff) PS, I just realized that except for using up a bullet of Toque Cholocate I mixed with some Taxi (which was a good mix) and then making the giant mess above, I actually could make a cocktail out of every snuff I’ve ever tried since I haven’t yet used up anything else (but what a mess that would be and I do like to at least try to keep my mess making to a dull roar, aiming for at least no more than just one mess at a time)

My choice will be a Rooster Booster. A rooster is a cock and a booster is an up lifter. So a rooster booster is the same as Viagra.

Are they really?

Yep, it’s crazy what they put in cigs. Any way to make a buck.

My deathbed snuff would be the Windmill Pepermunt

with me being still really inexperienced and having only tried 10 different kinds of snuff, I think I’d have to have a last snort of WoS Extra Crumbs of Comfort, I can’t seem to get enough of this stuff

I would go out as I started with a pinch of SP or Top Mill. The devil can have all those candy flavours.

The more things I try, the more I think my answer to this is Original & Genuine. Not sure I’d say it is my favorite snuff, but it always puts a smile on my face.

I love O&G but I can’t tell any difference between it and Highland Ice. Anyone noticed any differences?

My deathbed snuff would probably be Samuel Gawith Elmos Reserve. Though what a hard question

I would go for one nostril with SG Black Rappee and one with 6P Kailash. One foot in  the undeworld, the other in Shambala.

I want old mills next released snuff. I can wait on it

I think I’d be happy with : Toque Ambrosia, Old Mill Puro Dominicana or Sws Roslein

My posts above are from years ago. I think I’d like to have a cigarette before being hung. I have never smoked a cigarette. Oh! Wait! A firing squad!! They could shoot me right as I get nauseous.

@Juxtaposer (if you can remember) what did the Cigar plume snuff smell like? Wouldnt have any nicotine would it?

On my death bed, I would hope that snuff would be one of the furthest things from my mind. If all I am concerned about in my final moments is nasal snuff, or I suddenly start deluding myself that there’s a next phase of existence that I can transition to with plant matter stuffed up my nose, I would be extremely disappointed with myself, and probably so would those who know and love me. No offence intended to any of our members, but … seriously? Death bed snuff? X_X

Vast quantities of cocaine, when I’m on my death bed the only thing I will care about is dying painlessly and preferably high as fuck.
