yeah it is. And supposedly part of it’s influence is that flavored cigs are actualy more popular with underage smokers then they are with adult smokers. I guess this means if we see teenagers snuffing best to just cut their noses off before they ruin it for everyone else.
I am really encouraged by the swift, positive response to the topic and the enthusiasm expressed! Snuffburgers may indeed follow in time. Be sure to give me a postal address when you request samples! A few of you forgot that essential piece of information. I am really excited to be able to work on something I love so much.
An American company making snuff would be awesome…not that there is anything wrong with snuff from other places, or the snuff already made here! Good luck Stitch! I would love to see more unscented snuffs, too.
Awesome news!! I’m always up for trying something new, but I won’t request any flavors. Instead, I will anxiously await what you have to offer. (Please make some toasts!!)
Great news! Your post reminded me I had a small sample of some of your snuff somewhere. I am moving house and just threw a couple of old bags away thinking they were old Toque bags or something, now rescued! Strong and fairly plain/non descript flavours are what I would like to see more of, just like this sample I have of yours! I’ve never had a snuff where I thought the flavours were too strong.
I’d be willing to try some out, only thing I don’t like so far is the mentholated ones.
I think a mint lemonade snuff would be out of this world!
Carol, you reminded me… Who else would love a Mojito snuff? Mint and rum!!
I say do what you do and do it right. Then how could we not love it.
Stitch: This is wonderful news! May it keep well for you and your associates, and best of luck. If there’s anything I can do to help with this momentous undertaking, any way at all I can be of any assistance, please let me know.
Stitch, Congratulations mate. As far as packaging goes, instead of the common round tin format, how about something shaped more like a snuff box (square)? Also I would love to see a plain toast and or some less perfumed, more natural offerings. But that’s just me. I imagine a good SP and a few desert snuffs will be necessary to break into the market Again best of luck.This is really exciting
Stitch…this is truly excellent news.
Yeah, gotta respect entrepreneurs. I say though, establish yourself first like with “Original” or something if you follow.
I am looking forward to new flavors. You can count on my support. Sounds really wonderful. I hope you are very successful. For my tastes…(everyones is different) Please concentrate on new. Not redos. Light on the menthol, please.
I agree on bigbuyer’s light on the menthol" comment. I have heavy menthols, and basically only use them for mixing. I’d much rather see staying power with unique scents. And by unique I don’t mean heavily perfumed…

Having tried some of Stitch’s home made snuff, I don’t think you guys have to worry. The one I sampled was basic straightforward tobacco, Scotch-like & somewhat herbal. Nothing weird like Dr. Pepper though.
This sounds very cool. Since I’ve gravitated to European blends it’ll be nice seeing some innovative US offerings. I’d love to try them.
Congratulations Stitch!!! Truly awesome!! Best of luck to you!
Just a few thoughts. Thanks Xander for your comment. I am learning a lot from this discussion. My personal belief is that a plain tobacco snuff can be more complex in it’s own way than a flavored one. I’m afraid that those who are expecting a traditional American Scotch or Sweet may be disappointed. There is no way to compete with UST, Conwood or Swisher/Helme. They do a fine job on a huge scale. With so many fine SP’s and “medicateds” out there that I see no need to toss my hat into that ring either. The tobacco blends and the scents will be unique, the scents chiefly natural botanicals. I also have an appreciation for the friendly way distilled spirits merge with tobacco. They are great partners with strong snuff tobacco. When applied, scenting will be done with some subtlety. My personal passion is for high quality, high strength and unscented. Just as it would be sacrilege to add scent to a truly fine cigar, so it is with any fine tobacco product. Early on I will bring out a cigar snuff. To date nobody has come close to making the legendary Spanish Jewel. Although I doubt I can replicate it, I will try to make something very much akin to it. It may take years, but it’s my personal quest. Please keep the comments coming; your input is vital to my project. I am grateful for the chance to hear all your thoughts and to be part of this great community. Cheers!
