I’m on day 4 of a 4 week challenge to not buy a SINGLE tobacco product. My cigs ran out the first day, I only have RYO left (and not much of it), 2 tins of Mac Baren pipe tobacco, six tins of Skoal SNUS, and the rest is snuff. That means, by the end of the 4 weeks, if I pace myself, I should be much more used to not having the cigs at all, and having snuff as my major source of N. If I don’t pace myself, the pipe and SNUS will be gone, and snuff will be my only resource. I have plenty of snuff to last, but I want to see if this helps me make the transition. It should also help me clean out a bunch of small batches of various tobaccos I need to finish up.
TAD Anonymous.
Good luck! I had a serious case of it when I started snuffing but it has come under control with time. Now I just hoard 50% of the worlds supply of Grand Cairo instead of 75%
Please, someone tell me what TAD is, I see it all over this forum and have no idea what you are referring to.

@cstokes4 - Ah…something I am familiar with. Thanks!
Why fight it (other than for financial reasons). Sometimes a mental disorder is a good thing! (but buy bulk!!!)
That’s kind of my sentiment too. Who has enough snuff to bury themself alive? I’f I ever build/ design my own house, I’ll need a snuff/pipe/cigar room/library with a walk in humidor and lostsa shelves for pipes and snuffs.
LOL @thorgrimnr it’s okay to be in denial
@cstokes4 hahahaha…I’ll start quoting the lyrics to my wife when i win the challenge and reward myself with an overly large order
Honestly, every order takes away TAD for a certain period of time, and the bigger and more expensive and more diverse an order is, the longer the TAD goes away for. Also when you are testing out the different snuffs over that period of time, finding new favorites and comparing them with old favorites, ect. the TAD-be-gone lasts even longer. so thats the best advice I got, works for me.

Fair assessment ? LOL
I’d like to get to the root of this. There is an unbridled passion for tobacco, and I think it goes beyond nicotine. I’d dare to say, it’s nearly a love affair. That might sound odd, but isn’t this forum testament to that? There is a deep passion we share with this plant.
@Dogwalla I support your efforts and we know you can do it. It sounds like you have many great things to get into and you may even discover something exciting in amongst it all. Perhaps a different perspective on something you’ve tried before. Godspeed.
@cstokes4 so you already snuffed 25% of the world supply of Grand Cairo
Resistance is futile!
I’ve come to terms with and fully embraced my TAD.
I am a happy man…
The more you fight something, the more it shall control you.
I’ve let my “shopping cart(s)” become TAD central. I make one BIG order, once in a while, when i can afford it. When i have extra loot, i peruse my favorities, find a shopping cart that matches my loot, and purchase.
I have no problems. I keep lists of snuff and pipe tobacco I think I may like to try. When I need to restock a favorite I’ll tack on some samples. I think because I enjoy making my own snuff so much my interest in commercial snuffs is a bit diminished. For the most part I think my sampling phase is over.
“Please, sir, I want some more.”
This is how I feel every time I log into Mr. Snuff,
