Festiwal Tradycji Kaszubskich took place at 27.07.2014 in Chmielno, Poland. It is an annually event, which main goal is to promote taking snuff and kashubian folklore. Whoever is above eighteen is able to participate in the Snufftaking Championship. It is very different from those cups known from Germany - competitors do not race who takes more snuff, but they have to present themselves. Outfit, short speech and tout ensemble are judged. On this day you can buy there homemade snuff and homemade snuffboxes made out of cow’s horns. Mr Turzyński’s snuffboxes: Making “Od Mistrza” snuff: - giant snuff-box Snuffs I bought and three horn snuffboxes - two mines, and my Girlfriend’s one. Od Mistrza Sosnowa (pine), Od Mistrza Śliwkowa (plum), Od Mistrza Bursztynowa (amber), Truskawkowa (Strawberry), Cytrynowa (lemon), Wesoła (happy one). Later I bought also Rybacka (Fisherman’s). Andrzej Olszewski - winner: From the left: Second place (Tadeusz Makowski), First place (Andrzej Olszewski), Third place (Genowefa Czech). Yes - this big head-shaped staff is also a snuff box! Beating the record in taking snuff by the largest number of people at the same time; unfortunatelly, we haven’t beaten the record from 2009 (2271 people taking snuff simultaneously). Firemen were the ones who were sharing snuff. (some photos are mine, some from the net)

Wow!!! That is pretty incredible, in this day and age, a snuff festival. You are very lucky to live where you do @Viertel‌. Very good pics of the event.

Oh, wow, Thanks for the pictures. What fun.

That’s awesome, thanks for posting. Those horn snuffboxes are beautiful.

Are there no beautiful women? :))

Thanks for the post @Viertel‌, makes me want to go find and bump your old post about kashubian snuff making. Pretty fascinating stuff even with my ignorance of the language.
