FUBAR and Rockit?

Curious about these two new snuffs; Rockit and especially FUBAR. Has anyone tried these yet? Is FUBAR the Rooster-killer it’s claimed to be? I was considering making another pre-Xmas purchase but also wanted to try some Checkerberry, now that I know it’s Wintergreen.

Are you serious about FUBAR?? F–ked Up Beyond All (Any) Repair or F–ked Up Beyond Any Recognition

That’s the name! Whether or not it’s a Rooster killer remains to been seen. Should have it in stock by the end of the week. (Checkerberry by tomorrow or wed.) Tom

I tried some FUBAR Grunt and FUBAR Medic today. I am biased of course, but they are both magnificent. Grunt is strong…for sure. I am one of these snuffers that needs a strong snuff on a frequent basis (ie lots of nicotine) and at times only Gutkha will satisfy. But Grunt did the trick. Had me reeling for a minute or five. It is a fact that it is stronger than rooster. Rooster is very dry which makes it seem a little stronger than it actually is. The master blender had rooster analyzed and went head to head. Grunt wins. GRUNT So how does it taste/smell: it is a dry, fine advanced snuff, of medium light color. Easier imho than HDT but not much. The rich tobacco scent is evident since it is largely a plain snuff, but there is a hint of something …very subtle undertone of low level musk or some other heady fragrance. Not that you would notice unless you are looking, but for me at least it is there. The hit is almost immediate, but it took a good minute to really get me going. It is not sneezy, despite being dry. It has more benign nose-feel than I expected, but then again I sniffed it somewhat cautiously, and even though I say so myself, I have well practiced pressure control. I suspect his will be my new daily snuff for a while at least MEDIC I am not a big fan of menthol any more. However, having snorted my way through many many dozens of tins of McChrystal’s and plenty of other mentholated over the years, I still know a good one. If you like McChrytals OnG then my suspicion is you will like FUBAR Medic. My first snort took me right back to the heady days when I first discovered McChrystal’s when all I had to compare it to was the weak oil-based Poeschl Gletcherprise. McChrystal’s, for me, blew PG out the water. Good hard kick; great strong menthol with camphor and eucalyptus undertones; and of course that was me hooked on the drier water-based snuffs. Well, I am pleased to say that FUBAR Medic gave me exactly the same feeling. Out the snuff box it is a light medium brown. On close inspection there are flecks of leaf-vein like all stronger snuffs that have not been over-ground. The initial pre-snort fragrance gives it away as a medicated snuff (no surprise there), but really light on the ammonia (thank goodness). As has been discussed previously on this forum most tobaccos products have ammonia added and while ammonia speeds the uptake of nicotine in a smoke bolus (ie cigarettes), as far as I can ascertain the jury is out on whether or not it does much for nasally consumed tobacco. Hence my personal preference is a super fresh ground low/no ammonia snuff. On first snort the menthol kicks in hard but pleasantly. I think this may be due to the fact it is plant derived menthol rather than lab synthesized, but I am no expert in this regard. The nicotine content is high, and the rush is definitely noticeable. The menthol fades and the other medicated notes start to shine through. The classic camphor and eucalyptus emerge, with the eucalyptus ending up being the dominant flavor, just edging out the menthol. For my money it beats OnG, and Prime Minister though the similarities are quite compelling. If you like a menthol snuff I am pretty sure you will like this one. To sum up, both these snuffs have a good nicotine content, they are intermediate/advanced snuffs, the flavors are outstanding, and I am very happy with them. Stay tuned for the other two flavors: RnR and Rum. I will write them up tomorrow.

who makes these?

Yes i’d like to know as well from what i understand dohlakia makes them as an american brand i could be wrong but i would like to know if its dohlakias’ (sorry i spelling is off) “idea” or if there just making it for and american company (outsourcing type of thing) not sure but some good clarification would be apreciated. I am glad to know however that there is interest in making new snuff brands. i would like to see some true blue american made english type (flavored) snuffs though, that would be amazing. Hmm maybe i need to start building a new pole building… :slight_smile: could make an excelent addition to my farm. I can see it now Olds brand american snuff. (Olds is my last name) Snuff made the Olds fashioned way.

Yeah, I suspect the so called ‘jaxons’ is also a Dholakia or similar, if you google Jaxons you don’t come up with much - all big business bullshit as far as I can see.

And they refuse to sell to me, but if it’s lousy anyway… Tom

Jaxons is not a Dholakia product. You can read about it on this link. Jaxons

I am still a newbie but I have tried Dholakia and McChrystals. I must admit that I am curious about Rockit and FUBAR. What are they like and where can I buy these?

Jaxons Cafe Cream is a delicious snuff, I love it.

Get around to the other two FUBAR’s yet Mr Snuff? The one is rum flavored I gather but no mention of flavor for the R&R, unless I just totally missed it.

As a matter of fact, yes. Been a little busy, so my apologies for the delay. RnR This is apricot with a soupçon of menthol. Not being such a big menthol fan I was very pleased that the menthol is light. Most apricot snuffs out there, including QWS Apricotand Poschl apricot are a little heavy on the menthol for my taste though I know they are very popular amongst the menthol loving community. So, initial impression is: the sinuses are opened up a tad by the menthol, with the apricot powering in behind. The flavor is quite intense and lasts a good half hour. Solid fruit flavor, the apricot morphs a somewhat into its close cousins, peach and nectarine. As it slowly dissipates you are left with a warm afterglow which reminds me of sitting in front of an open wood-burning fire, glass of schnapps in hand. The snuff itself is medium brown and again is high in nicotine, so you get a good strong buzz. It is quite dry which keeps it in the realm of seasoned snuff user or interested careful beginner. Shot (of Rum) On first opening the tub you get a whiff of alcohol with something of a berry undertone. It is medium brown and fairly dry just like the other three. It is not mentholated which for me allows the full flavor to emerge rapidly and unhindered rather than having to wait for the menthol to subside. The flavor itself tastes like rum mixed with some sort of cordial. It is reasonably rummy, but since rum and cordial is not one of my drinks (in liquid form), I have to admit this is personally my least favorite of the FUBAR line. As the rum fades, the cordial pushes through top dominate in the nose for the next 15 minutes or so. It is a great dessert snuff though, and the strong nicotine content makes it another snuff to add to the collection for occasional use. Hope that helps Snuffdog.

They sound good so will probably order in the near future, who is producing these? Also, who makes the Rockit brand?

I’ve been thinking about ordering from Nicotinerush for my next order. I’ve been wanting to try the Checkerberry, and Rooster. This just gives me all the more reason to put in an order. Lately it seems, there are more and more new snuffs all the time. Maybe this stuff is actually starting to catch on again.

Let’s hope so! Tom

Thanks Mr Snuff, they sound delicious and a new word to boot! :wink: They actually all sound tempting, especially the Grunt and Medic, as you indicate it’s a stronger spin on O&G. :slight_smile:

Is the Rockit brand going to be closer to a Poschl then, more a moist beginner snuff or are they gonna be XX-high N too? I guess there’s no reason they couldn’t be both, eh?

The rockit! brand is closer to Poschl style. Not exactly beginner; Somewhere between beginner and intermediate. medium nicotine content. I’ll post reviews soon.
