So I’ve read all the reviews on the FUBAR line, and I need some comparative help.
One of my favorite grind/moisture combos is the QSnuff line. The Ice Cool is just perfectly sniffable for me. The only two products I have tried from FUBAR are RnR and Shot of Rum. RnR (while finer and a touch drier than QSnuff) is just fine, but I HATE the drier, finer grind of the ‘Shot of Rum’. How do Grunt and Medic compare to QSnuff, RnR, and Shot of Rum in grind and moisture?
grunt is fine and medium moist. Its perhaps a little less moist than RnR. I dont have my grunt to hand, but will compare when i get home from work.
They are all made by the same company and are very similar really, I would think the flour is the same for all of them. Grunt is far less flavoured, medic is a traditional punchy menthol. 4 of the best snuffs on the market in my opinion.
4 of the best snuffs compared to all of any region? I may have to try em.
Well…I may just have to put 100g of each in my order. Thanks for the feedback =D
I just made the order:
1 x Fribourg & Treyer High Dry Toast 50g
1 x QWS Ice Cool 10g Box
2 x FUBAR Grunt 50g
2 x FUBAR Medic 50g
5 x Pot Luck Snuff 25g Plus
1 x 6 Photo Kailash 6g
That ought to last me a couple days. 
@JohnnyFriday - 4 of the best in the world of snuff imo. There is no planning a great snuff, they just happen. It is quite quixotic I suppose, but there you have it. I have been using the rum snuff all week - just delicous and robust enough to be interesting. My only gripe is it seems I can’t buy the rum and apricot variants in bulk.
@Snuffster _>I noticed your views on FUBAR changed. And many other reviewers werent as enthusiastic as you. From what I gather from your reviews, is that you really like the tobacco base, and the flavors don’t necessarily ruin that for you. Is that a fair assessment?
@Snuffster - “4 of the best snuffs on the market in my opinion” , That is one bold statement! But, after all, it is all about that magic flour! Also, I must disagree with your assessment since I may someday have hopes of aquiring more!
It is interesting knowing part the history of this snuff line, and the fact that it has become a classic. Kudos to Namrata and Dave.
White Flag? --coconut Whites of their eyes? --licorice, anise, and spruce Red eye express? --bergamot and citrus flower
If it’s based on white, and is going to be quite different than the other flavors, I would vote for AWOL.
Just my $0.02
Edit: Hahaha…i just found this one:
BOHICA - Bend Over, Here It Comes Again
Other great ideas at: http://www.acronymslist.com/cat/us-army-acronyms-(slang).html
White out.
White lightning.
White power. (see Dave Chappelle skit first!)
Reville.
SNAFU.
Casper.
I second BOHICA :-c , if it’s based on white that would be perfect.
edm
I like Whalens idea, SNAFU, lol. From what I can tell from what I hear, that would be a very fitting name for a white snuff in the FUBAR line.
I like AWOL. To big a sniff and you’ll be AWOL, at least long enough to run to the bathroom and clean up.
WiIlie Pete/Willy Pete (White Phosphorus grenade)
N-Ration(Like c-ration or k-ration)
Cannon Fodder
I think Willie Pete could be a winner.
forgive this but I have to say: Pineapple grenade (you know)
M(edicated)-16 (a more medicated v. of Medic)
Navy Seal
I second JF’s N-Ration as well…
@JohnnyFriday - Yes I changed my views radically. I realised I was letting my natural scepticism about contract made snuff get in the way of seriously taking time to assess it properly.
And I do genuinely think FUBAR is a very classy snuff and for me, certainly, 4 of the best.
When I did give each of the FUBAR range a good few days each and concentrated solely on the snuff, which is what I should have been doing, I realsied they were very, very good. And rather shamefacedly I became a fan. Now I love the snuff and have periods where I use a good deal of it, like now. The fact is Dholakia made a great snuff, which I was too prejudiced to realise - which is not nice thing to admit too but there you are.
My issue with contract brands is just that I like to know whose snuff I am buying because there are some makers I just don’t like. Calling a snuff by a brandname and giving no details of the maker takes my choice away - is how I see it. If I know who actually makes something I have no problems at all. Just a personal foible that does not seem to be shared by many others.
MrSnuff - Hypermax.
@mr.snuff “It has a hint of musk, though most people don’t detect that.”
Is the musk what lurks about as the smell of unwashed women’s underwear?

Dogwalla, that flavor would be white, fishy or shrimp oder :))
edm
lol…without being to graphic about it, I swear there is something in that Shot of Rum that give me a big 'ol whiff of vag. It doesn’t really show up to me in RnR, and I haven’t tried medic or grunt yet. But it lingers for a while on the Rum. O_o
We could do without that thankyou
you know…DW is suppsed to have a fishy smell too…and I’ve read somewhere that N. Rustica gives off the same odor…So it would make sense that a bit of that was in fubar, especially since it’s supposed to have a hard nic hit, and alot of rustica probably makes up the bulk of DW…just a theory, unless someone else has already proven it right or wrong…
@MrSnuff - just who makes it and where. That’s all I want. To stop me inadvertantly buying, say, a Poschl by accident, when I wouldn’t buy it if I knew.
We are all consumers, choice is all.
sorry snuffster

I third BOHICA, sodomy notwithstanding.
@snuffster Like I said, I’m not trying to be rude, but it is a scent that has been picked up by others, and I’m just wondering if it is the musk that has the nose confused on so many people.
snuffreviews.com has references to a “footlocker” and “old gym locker”, and http://www.snuson.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-19315.html has preferences to a particular “panty” smell about it. I know it’s not exactly proper to speak of, but it seems I am not alone in my assessment.
Even SnuffHouse has mention of it: http://snuffhouse.org/discussion/1767/fubar-grunt/
I apologize if you found my comments inappropriate, I will not mention it again.
Forget about it.
or just BOHICA maybe
I just got my order of 100g of Grunt. Dogwalla, I’ve been using Q’s Smoker’s Blend (or Natural) for a little bit. I have to say that Grunt is a bit more moist than that. Otherwise, you can definitely tell they are brothers though. Still, I definitely dig Grunt and I would take it over Q Natural any day.
@jazzi_mike Thanks for the info. That makes me feel a lot better about committing to 100g of the stuff!
