@johnny Epic!
C’mon @MrSnuff! How can you say no to a face like that?
Tobacco is a great investment. Besides necessities of daily living (very important stuff), I can’t think of much better uses of my money- especially snuff. You can trade it, share it, hoard it, introduce people to it, or just snuff alone.
I recently gave up smoking cigarettes. I smoked regularly (but not that heavily) for 4 years. I was pretty much trying to quit the whole time. After I quit, I did buy a pack of American Spirits. I had gotten a $1 pack coupon in the mail that I had sent away for while still smoking. I made that pack last about two weeks. It’s probably been a month since then, and I’m doing fine. I usually snus about 4 or 5 portions a day and snuff in the evenings. I recently started pinching my Toque Coke while at work, but before that I was more of a back-of-the-hand kind of guy.
Good luck quitting smoking if that’s what you really want to do.
@Disco_Snuff I also get those darn american spirit coupons, hard to not go for those one dollar deals.
1: buy AS cigs with coupons. 2: grind cigs into snuff 3: ??? 4: PROFIT! Sorry, I love a good meme.
@FlippinBird: I can’t
@Harlequin: if memes are your thing, post Dawkins, try Daniel C Dennet and Susan Blackmore.
I’m now a week into my TAD challenge and I still haven’t bought anything.
My wife finally broke down and bought herself a pack of cigs, as the mellow RYO tobacco I had is all but gone. The only other kind I have left is Bali Shag, and while wonderful, that stuff if pretty stout.
So, the RYO is not yet gone, and is actually lasting a lot longer than I thought it would. I’m out of Captain Black for the pipe, but I still have two mostly full tins of some Mac Barrens stuff. Even my SNUS usage has gone down because of this.
The good news is that I’m using about the same amount of snuff (possibly less), and I’m feeling WAY more satisfied from it. I had my wife’s pack of Camels available to me all day and just forgot to smoke them. I reached for my FUBAR and was a happy camper. My snuff enjoyment epiphany came last Tuesday when all the cigs were gone, I forgot my pipe, and all I had was SNUS and snuff. I laid out a really nice pile of Toque Bourbon and took it with a rolled bill (for some reason I really like toasts and other fine/dry snuffs with a sniffer), and that hit the button. I actually got the same satiation out of this I usually get from my first cig of the day. It’s the first time I’ve really had that cigarette satisfaction from something else. Vitamin N is one thing, but sitting back and feeling satisfied is the dragon that I have been chasing.
Ever since that morning, I have been reaching for snuff instead of any of my smokable products, and even my SNUS is slowly falling by the wayside. I think this TAD challenge that I’m doing is helping my true enjoyment and satisfaction from snuff more than anything else I’ve ever tried.
3 weeks to go, and I have no idea what I’m even going to desire for tobacco products other than snuff after my time is done.
@Dogwalla, keep up the good work man, 3 weeks will be gone in no time! I still remember when I quit cigarettes in 2003, after smoking for 13 years(heavy). I went to my Dr. and he gave me wellbutrin that I took for three months before I set a date to quit. The one side effect it had on me was increased libido. I was like a teenager chasing my poor wife around on the playground. I was so glad that I made it, you will too. 
My TAD challenge is Makla. I managed to give it up for a few days but bought a tub today. I so flipping well love it!
@Dogwalla, Great job!
Today is the two week mark of my TAD challenge. I’m half way done! Captain Black is entirely gone, but my other pipe tobaccos are holding on well. My RYO supply is down to near dust. I only have enough for 4 - 6 thinly rolled smokes. My SNUS usage has dropped quite a bit, I’m down to 2 - 4 portions a day. My snuff usage hasn’t gone nuts like I thought it would. I’m still in that 3 - 5 grams per day average, and it only varies wildly if I use HDT. For some reason 1/2 gram of that stuff only lasts me a couple of snuffing sessions, which occur about every 1/2 hour. I make sure I only carry 2g of it with me to the office.
My wife has bought a few pack of smokes this week, but I’ve actually been declining them for a lack of desire. If she really want to smoke and talk, I throw in a SNUS portion and puff on my ineffective eCigarette, or have a bowl of pipe tobacco on seldom occasion.
So, the challenge is going well. It’s changing my tobacco desires/enjoyment/consumption in a way that I think is for the better.
Just thought I’d give an update =D
You are doing good @Dogwalla!
As far myself, in the spirit of a fully embraced TAD I made a couple of what my wife would term as a “Have you lost your mind?!!!??!!” Toque orders.
I excuse it as getting ahead of the VISA problems.
Bulk orders of 5 Toque snuffs.
@Slide, I remember telling my wife back in 1999 that I needed a Bushmaster AR-15 style rifle prior to all the Y2K looting and hysteria that was to come. I sure miss and loved that rifle. lol True story btw.
I only make that excuse to myself! She wouldn’t buy it in any case. It’s all part of my stock up strategy.
For Y2K I didn’t spend any money. All ready had all the guns and ammo I wanted. But I do want more snuff on hand…
Resistance is futile.
@SnuffSniffer, there is so much logic in that! LOL I rarely miss an opportunity when presented.
Quit smoking cigarettes several times once for three years.but the obsession never left until I found snuff.Thank you snuff ! I enjoy smoking so I pick up the brier and really enjoy life.This day could be my last so I am enjoying it like it is.Besides pipe smoker live three years longer the non smokers according to the surgeon generals report #1103 page112.
This is cool stuff @Dogwalla , keep us posted. You should try to eliminate cigarettes entirely. You can easily manage with Snus, Snuff, and a Pipe once you overcome all the rest of your tobaccos. Btw, do RYO with a machine, the little hammock looking roller or the little injecter with the tubes, or an expensive machine; or do you go old school and do it by hand. More importantly, do you smoke your rollies with filters?
@Vito455 I have one of the little hammock looking things to roll the smokes with, but someone taught me another method a long time ago. It leaves frizzy end sticking out of the smoke, but you can control the thickness and tightness of the cigarette better if you roll it using a dollar bill. It’s a surprisingly simple technique, and makes for a good smoke. I use it when I’m making little bitty thin ones to help control a really strong tobacco, but for just the normal ones, I just use the machine. It’s mindless and produces good results.
No filters. I just take the smoke straight out of the exhaust pipe. 
@Dogwalla I think I can visualize the dollar bill method you speak of, but I would have to see it to be sure. Those little hammock rollers are nice, and a bag of 50 filters should only be a buck or so at a local smoke shop, they work well with those rollers. If you are already on the path to eliminating cigarettes then dont bother, but if you think you are going to end up smoking for a while longer you should seriously consider buying filters. It is also easier to quit smoking filtered cigs than non-filtered cigs imo.
