Do you remember your first Snuff experience

Does your love for snuff make you remember your first experience with it? Where you bought it and how it made you feel? I remember mine and I was in Faders tobacconist store walking past the pipe smoking gents, headed directly to the humidor to pick up some cigars and noticed a new display that had “President Snuff” on it. I got myself 5 Dunhill cigars and came out and just had to ask what this snuff was. The gents started taking turns in between puffs to explain how it was nasal snuff, how strong it was and how addictive. I remember that most because the one gent said “It’s the most addictive tobacco there is” The only thing they didn’t explain was the way to properly sniff it. I bought 2 boxes and went to my truck to experience this new product (to me that is) I tapped a small amount into my hand and gently caught the scent. I remember the menthol as if doing it now. I took that amount and snorted it up quickly and made my eyes water and felt like I had just got a rush of pure nicotine (man was that first blast strong) I lived about an hours ride home and kept taking small snorts every 20 minutes to give me that charge. I kept on buying it up until joining this forum when I learned about the American Scotches and how to mix and sniff properly. I liked snuff before but love snuff now :slight_smile: What about you? Did someone share it with you? Did a older brother hold you down while his friends shoved it up your nose? Did you sneak it from Dad or maybe stole it from a bum?

tobacco tavern state college pa. Was trying everything pipes cigars diffrent cigs chews. Then they got some dean swift so me and three of my friends each got one tin went to the library and just get snuffing and laughing our asses off cause it was so damn good. Oh I was 16 and they sold to me cause they could tell my parents would kick my ass not theirs if I got caught (sharp of them to notice that).

I was about 11/12 years old and the Wilson’s blue tins of snuff were all the craze at my school. I remember taking the snuff first in my bedroom and lying back on the bed feeling an intense, lovely high. I continued to use snuff until. My mum caught me due to brown hankies. I didn’t cover my tracks very well :smiley:

I was in my 40’s before I tried it

I also went into Smoker Friendly to buy cigars and was ‘arrested’ if you will by a new display, in this case was Packard’s Club. And I thought What the heck. Asked the person behind the counter (was going to say Tobacconist but that would be VERY generous) what it was and how to use. They had absolutely NO idea. I had heard about snuff from my interest in tobacciana, but had never tried myself or ever known anyone who had. Just like @MatteFox states above the first hit was just that, a big hit. If you have never used Packard’s Club, it has a very unique delivery system, sort of a premeasured amount that comes out on a little lever. Whew, I LOVED it. Came back later and by then they had obtained Poschls apricot, president and spearmint. Of course, I got some and was very happy for sometime until they pulled everything off the shelf. Then I went into semi depression until I discovered Mr. Snuff surreptitiously. Am very happy with things now. Had absolutely NO IDEA there was such a big world out there of wonderful, glorious snuff.

My nephew’s wedding in Memphis. My eustachian tubes had been blocked for 9 months and snuff drained them in a day!

15 years old in a classroom in junior high. An acquaintance had some Ozona Raspberry, a matter of days later I bought some Poschl Sam Gawith Apricot at the uptown tobacco shop.

I was on holiday and staying with my fiancee’s family for the lunar new year. We exchanged gifts, mainly sweets and vodka, took a few shots, and then her father offered me his snuff bottle and initially I had no idea what it was. They urged me to smell it, so I did. It was Six Photo Special. I asked them if it would be okay if I could actually take the stuff out of the bottle and smell it, so my fiancee’s father showed me how to snuff using the spoon. I was instantly hooked. I kept on asking for the bottle every 20 minutes or so. By the end of the night, the fiancee and I were sitting down taking turns with the spoon and watching TV (she mainly snuffs to sneeze and I don’t know how she does it, but she can sneeze pretty much on any given pinch). The combination of being drunk and snuffing was incredible. The next time I visited them, they gave me a little tiny snuff bottle as a gift and I gave my soon-to-be father-in-law a 200g tub of Super Chetak. Speaking of which, the holiday is just around the corner, and this time around I’m giving the dad a tin of SG Toffee and McC’s Supermint.

i was searching for smokeless tobacco on the net and i found old snuffboxes. I wondered if any snuffs on the local market. I asked some shops and they adviced me an attar. Luckily he has gletcherprise. I was running out of tobacco for two days and i didn’t want to smoke. I bought it and the first sniff was like a heaven. I was impressed how nicotine reached to my brain that fast.

Yes, I remember. She was 15 and I was 13. She had blonde hair and smelled like she just had a cigarette. We went to the…oh. you said SNUFF experience. sorry.

Damn, I wanted to read that story lol

And I wanted to finish it. lol. Ah well, she prolly went on to marry some rich guy, and had 2.4 kids…

or got really fat

I mean really

@bob Are you saying you stole @ad_noseum girl and now you want to return her because she is really fat? (laughing, please laugh with me)

I was about 16 and had some dried out rolling tobacco my dad had gotten from a tobacconist. Pretty sure it was primarily Virginia tobacco. I ground it up and sniffed it out of curiosity and loved the effect, much more stimulating than smoking. A couple of years later I got into ordering snus on the internet and that got me into snuff.

Wassat got to do w/ my really fat girlfriend that Bob stole?

hey it was a trade and don’t pretend it wasn’t

This place will make me laugh every day :smiley:

Had my first snuff in my bedroom by myself, fortunely. I couldnt stop sneezing and coughing. Indian was not the best first choice…
