Which snuffs provide the most sinus clearing effect for you? For me, menthols work temporarily but I get rebound congestion pretty quick. If I had to pick one, it would be Samuel Gawith Cola. I don’t know what it is about SG Cola, but it almost always clears my nose within 5 minutes. Its also a heck of a good snuff.
6 photo special works on the toughest clogs and no rebound
Schmalzler such as Brasil Feinst.
Whites and WoS Royal George both do it for me, I haven’t tried 6 photo special yet though…
Coarser grinds like PB Coarse and Schmalzlers really clear my nose, menthols tend to block me right up - that’s one of the reasons I’ve gone off them (overindulgence, for a month or so, in Hedges didn’t help)
I usually rotate Dholakia White (clearing), Black (soothing) and Sparrow (drying) for congestion. Works pretty well for me. I also try to stick with dry scotches and toasts during allergy season.
lavender, no rebound
Ozona President and 6 Photo Kailash.
Ill toss in Viking Dark here too, that one seems to start drainage no matter how packed with snot I am …
Dry toasts are the least clogging during pollen season for me, the menthols are the worst.
Garrett plain works well for me. My nose runs a lot if I take it when clogged, but once my nose stops running I’m clear. Usually about 5 minutes.
Motia is the best for me. Clears the sinus and nose, no rebound. From looking at the posts, everyone seems to react differently.
surprisingly i found poschl apricot to do the trick last night, with no running or anything. i find taxi red and viking dark great for triggering a muddy river, and i generally like menthols, taking a lot seems to clear out well.
Black Motia does the trick for me.
