Dholakia White and Black reviews!

Also I have a question! What does “Dholakia” mean? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsZkv-zfdl8

I am pretty sure that it is the family name.

I’m glad you are doing these vids. They have all been good and interesting, but more than that, there just isn’t many snuff vids on Youtube. I like the Black the most, because it is very nice, and snuffable. But the White, I actually think I like the taste of it more, but I find it near unsnuffable. If it was a coarser/moister grind, I’d love it.

Hey tom, are you TC462 on YouTube?

No, I don’t have a YT account.

The White doesn’t cause uncontrollable sneezing and sweating anymore, perhaps I’m becoming tolerant. I can take fairly heavy amounts now as well, chasing the elephant. Seems like the bigger the hit, the tamer it is. The grind is beyond fine, it seems to be a dispersant dust, similar to descriptions of weaponized anthrax. When I hydrated some Cob Dark, I put a box in the same chamber and it clumped, doesn’t seem to like any moisture; won’t do that again. Maybe my mixing skills are at fault, but though I tried mixing it with a variety of other snuffs, I’ve decided it’s better as it is, especially since I’ve become accustomed to it. It’s definitely the strangest snuff I have. Neither of them are favorites though.

Great reviews mrmaroon, i’m hoping to get these through any day now and was pleased to hear your thoughts on them both. When i started snuffing i looked around for information on snuff and looked at you tube, all i found was people sniffing up metre long lines of snuff so it is great that you are putting real information out there that treats snuff with the respect it deserves. Well done and keep up the good work.

If you guys want to tame the White and enhance the Black - Mix them! It is highly effective! I call my new snuff Dholakia grey!

Hey! I thought I invented Dholakia gray! I just tried this a couple days ago. It really works! Looks like hell though. :slight_smile:

Wow, I’ll have to try the gray. I find the white very addictive and mixed with toque peanut butter is awesome. The black reminds me of cold wet peat moss, maybe being new to snuff my nose isn’t developed enough to enjoy the black.

Well, I was thinking about that mix, but I was going to call it Dholakia Black and Tan.

Well,I finally got a container each of the white and the black last week. I must have gotten some really fresh stuff, because about all I can smell in them is ammonia. The underlying scents are intriguing, but when I first opened them, all I got was ‘barnyard’. I kind of wish I had smaller containers to put smaller amounts in for airing out, as I bought 25g tins and feel bad leaving them open on my desk. Trying them again this morning: The white is still cat-box-ish(and very hard to sniff, it keeps hitting my throat no matter how lightly I try to sniff,even worse than Rooster), but I am starting to sense a lighter mild scent under it that I can’t quite identify or associate with anything. Makes me want to keep hitting it just to figure out what it smells like! The black is much earthier, still a little cow-patty smell in my nose - kind of takes me back to when I was a little kid running around my grandparent’s barn when they still had dairy cows. As the ammonia dissipates in my nose, the peat moss referenced above seems kind of accurate as it seems more of a fermented/composted scent. The nic rush is something else, though. I feel it these even more than with Rooster or Navy Scotch. Just a couple of apple-seed size hits and I am on the verge of getting the shakes!

so i jsut got my 25 gs of D. White. i ripped open my box opens my white, and took a big olf scoop on the back end of a plasticware knife and sniiiiifed it. omfg i almsot died! i wasnt expecting it. im used to doing that with scotch snuffs, but this snuff seams even finer. and bammo i sneezed and sneezed. omfg. very good snuff though! i just had to take it easy. very very tasty snuff! now riddle me this, am i the only one who detects a faint fishines in this snuff? im a big fan of canned fish products, so it isnt clsoe to being abad thing, but it almsot smells like a ever so slight hint of sardines? hmmmmm

It’s probably an additive in it. Some tradional english beers use fish scales for part of their production.

It would cause your snuff-boogs to drop out of suspension into your soup! Yikes!

Wolfwood, I detect a mysterious under-lying scent in the White, as well. I notice it to a different degree in the Sparrows as well.

Might it be the base tobacco used in Dholakia? I can really detect that flavor in the black.

Does anyone else detect an under note of gym socks in the White? It’s not offensive like the really bad gym socks but gym socks none the less. I’m completely addicted to the White. I’m trying to get through a 5g tim on WoS SS just to have the tin to carry White around in.

I wonder what makes it so white. Wood ashes??? Both are exceptional snuffs imho. I get a barnyard smell from the black that is not unpleasant.
