Plain snuffs, any grind.
I enjoy snuffs that are highly perfumed/scented and finely ground. I do enjoy that tobacco scent but I like it accompanied with some other scent. I have to be careful with menthol because my whole facial system shuts down with heavy menthols. 6 photo medicated, 66, special, and super Kailash are as far as I can go with menthol. I love Samuel Gawith snuffs because the scents are so complex and rich. I find myself reaching for either an Indian snuff or an American scotch like Tube Rose 90% of the time. I find with the finer grinds I can get a lot more in and I get the burn and nicotine hit that causes that instant attitude adjustment that I need during the day. Indian snuffs are just awesome because the scents take me to another world. Heavily scented snuffs appeal to me for that reason. It’s what I call “Nasal Escapism”. I can take a pinch and it totally changes my consciousness. Wow I sound like a hippy dipshit. Overall, I’ll take a pinch of any booty that shakes itself in my face.
I say…there aren´t good or bad snuffs…It all depends on snuffer´s taste, character and temper
I like 'em all. I like the plain, dark, medium grinds. I like the toasts I’ve had. I like the dowright dusty like White Elephant (as a matter of fact, if any of you have any you want to get rid of, let me know). I haven’t tried a schmaltzer yet, but I’m sure I’ll love that, too. But, I guess, since Viking Dark is my current favorite, I like the darker stuff at a medium grind for the all-day use. This is subject to change, of course. Although I am easily amused, I am also easily bored. Which is why I try to keep a wide variety accessable.
while the worlds most intereresting man doesnt always have snuff up his nose, but when he does, it has to be heavy on the mentholatum
Cannot pick one. To be honest, it is better this way. Snuff is such a wide world. Some time i love my toast more then anything, then i have weeks were i worship my schmalzlers heavily and then again, it is menthol all the time. So much to snuff, so much to enjoy.
Tobacco ,Herbal,Tribal, And Etheogen.
It’s like asking what my favorite type of music is. It’d be easier to say what I don’t like under any circumstances and that is subject to some change.
Schmalzlers are great but I like the medicated India stuff and FUBAR type , hell I cannot pin down my favorite either I like way to many lol
Anything powdered…or chopped.
SPs. No contest in my opinion (not sure thats worth that much though…)
South African style.
Thanks everyone I’am enjoying this post thanks for shareing.
Mostly plains and toasts - Toque Quit, WoS Natural, WoS no 22 are the current favorites. And lightly scented ones with strong tobacco aftertaste (for example Toque Vanilla). I don’t like SPs at all, but happily sniffing some menthols occasionally.
On the whole, I prefer toasts after starting out with medium and coarse snuffs. These fine and dry snuffs agree best with my nose, and I don’t need any blow-outs. I enjoy perfumed snuffs but I have to use them in moderation, or else my nose shuts down. I like to mix a nice Morlaix or Macouba in with a Irish High Toast to get the best of both worlds. If I had to pick one snuff to take for the rest of my life, it would be Wilson’s IHT22. That’s basically the only thing that I am cellaring, for that reason.
KBs, Princes and SAs
So far, it would seem Scotches. But, I’ve got a bunch of scented snuffs on the way and I’m going to order the Toast Bundle tonight.
It depends on my mood - though lighter snuffs are pretty consistent through the day and into the evening, the ‘heavier’ ones such as WoS Brunswick, Best Dark, and even SnuffStore’s Attar of Roses and Cafe Noir become a more attractive proposition as the day wears on. Scented or plain just depends on what I fancy at any given time. Menthol is pretty much out for me, I try every now and then and that’s it, instantly bunged up.

SPs. Occasionally a coarse snuff like NTSU when I am feeling manly.
