Hello,

I’m new here, but been using snuff for a few years. Now I’m getting my hand at making snuff, particularly trying to produce a schmalzler, but I don’t really understand how I should ferment the tobacco.

Should I built a heating chamber to mantain the temperature at 125F and just leave the already ground tobacco inside an airtight jar moisted up with 20% of water for a couple of months?

Does anyone have instructions on how one should do it or a book that teaches about it?

Thanks in advance!

Just use cheap Dominican or Nicaraguan cigars, like Balmoral, Don Tomas, Quorum etc. You’ll be astounded by the richness of natural flavour!
