Unless I’m misremembering, Seville snuff was just snuff from Seville. I seem to recall Seville being the location of the first snuff mill to open in Spain, and being associated with quality and tradition. I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong. As I understand it, Seville snuff is about as brand specific as saying you’ve got some London snuff might have been a century ago.
I figured as much…
Yes, Seville is where Royal Spanish Tobacco factory was located, biggest in world, buildings are now state university and UNESCO heritage site.
Frederick The Great used snuff, especially under the stress of command. Once a musket balll hit a snuff box in his breat pocket, saving his life! Andrew Jackson also used it I believe. I know he collected snuff boxes.
You’re trying to suss out all of us who are old enough to remember that song, you rascal! But thanks, you gave me a good chuckle.
Oh, Clint has a house on the ocean down the road a bit. I’ll remember to ask him about it when I run into him again.
@juxtaposer you talking about carmel ? nice place clint eastwood was the mayor at one point 
I can picture Clint as a snuff taker. He’s never given a damn about what anyone thinks of him – that’s why I admire him so much. His son Kyle is one hell of a jazz bassist, too.

Not to forget The Beatles (except Ringo who chewed red man), President Obama, Muhammad Ali (who can be seen using Top Mill No1 inbetween rounds 2 and 3 in the ‘thriller in Manilla’) Princess Di, Bruce Springsteen and of, course, Arthur Askey.
Snuffster it’s true what they say about london cops isn’t it. Once they retire they get both their Beatle facts and tobacco facts all muddled up? First off George was the Chewer in the Beatles why do you think he was the silent one! And he prefered mail pouch.
Dammit if you’re not right Bob!
Is it true Princess Diana used snuff ?and president Obama ?
I doubt that President Obama has used snuff, he is an ex-smoker. If he did it might have been out of courtesy on a trip overseas. Never heard anything about Princess Diana.
I created this image a while ago, just a joke of course… It’s supposed to be a tin of Toque sticking out of his pocket, not sure if it’ll show up. 
Good old Helmut Schmidt, as mentioned by snuffster earlier, is still taking snuff and smoking like never! Very good.
@miamimark where’s his snuff-stache? 
Someone told me that Frank Sinatra took snuff occasionally. I find it rather hard to believe considering just how much of a neat freak he reportedly was. If anybody knows anything more about this, I would love to know.
@furious I’m a neat freak and I LOVE snuff. I just make sure to wipe my face with my handkerchief!
