Hello everyone. This is my first post on this site. I have recently become very interested in snuff but cant buy it here in Finland. (Its banned) So i make my own. I take my favourite kind of pipe tobacco of the brand Clan and leave it to dry. When it is dry i put it in a blender and turn it to fine dust. Then it is ready for use. I have found i enjoy this homemade snuff of mine very much. I actually enjoy it more than cigarettes to which i have been addicted for 9 years. I still smoke but i have cut down from two packs a day to ten cigarettes or less per day. Does anyone else here make their own snuff?
Some of the guys on here have gone from homebrew to manufacturer. It’s kinda scary. The only batch I have made so far stinks like slightly minty earth and the moisture is completely wrong. I’m glad yours turned out so much better since you can’t get others. Why in the hell did they ban snuff?
I dont know why they banned snuff but they did. What kind of tobacco did you use when you made your snuff Dogwalla? I can recommend Kilta pipe tobacco or Clan pipe tobacco. Dont know if you can get Kilta where you live though since it is a finnish pipe tobacco.
More and more folks are creating their own blends and testing out new idea’s based off of interest or banning. I find it very interesting and helps others on the approach to change things to improve or satisfy our quest for a perfect snuff. Keep us updated
I made a snuff out of cigars today. I took a pack of 20 café creme cigars (small ones) and put them in the blender. When it was done i scented the snuff with cinnamon. It turned out real nice. And it has quite the kick to it as well.
I talked about grinding cigars before and still like the idea. The only problem I am having is that I love my cigars and they cost a lot more than my snuff right now. Hearing your adventure might make me try this
Yes the cigars cost a bit. I paid over eleven euros for the pack of 20 cafe cremé cigars. But it makes good snuff. And a decent amount as well. There are of course many, many different cigar brands and flavours but odds are if you have a cigar brand that you enjoy, you will enjoy it in snuff form as well.
I am slowly working on flavors for my snuff but only natural in powdered form or dryed and ready to grind.
Do you have any tips on flavouring and where to get it? All i have is cinnamon.
@snuffdude you may want to check your laws more closely unless this is a new development. We’ve had quite a few members from Finland in the past and they’ve all had no trouble getting snuff. Swedish Snus I know is banned there, but nasal snuff is not to my knowledge.
Really? I havent seen nasal snuff for sale anywhere so i just assumed it was banned just like swedish snus. Do you know of any places that do sell it? No stores i have been in have it.
Buying snuff online is the only option since they dont sell snuff in finnish stores. If snuff indeed is legal to sell and buy in Finland why cant you buy it anywhere? Could be that snuff just is not that popular in Finland. Thank you for the links cstokes4. I will check them out. Swedish snus is however legal to posess and use, but you cant sell it or buy it in Finland. Most of my friends who do use it buy it when they are in sweden and bring back some when they come home.
Snuff is legal in the US… yet it is nowhere to be found.
Isnt that weird? Surely it cant be so unpopular that no store carries it? Well, luckily we can make our own snuff like i did. Im sitting here enjoying some of my homemade snuff right now.
Not really, just an effective marketing campaign by big tobbaco.
I like the low profile that it carries and believe that they are making gains just not loudly. If you want to talk about strange, look at why cigars are okay There are plenty of places in Maryland that carry snuff (Thank You Tobacco God)

That’s true, but most of that - probably like 90% - is consumed orally. Nasal use is not that popular worldwide. I’m not sure I blame it all on big tobacco, but they do what they can to maintain the status quo. A few pockets of places have decent selections: England, Switzerland, Germany, Poland and of course India, but even in these regions it seems there are simply some fertile oases among deserts. Anyway, @snuffdude most of us buy most or all of our snuff online as its usually the only option.
I’ve always thought that ground up navy flake would make a nice snuff. It’s what I would use if I couldn’t get snuff online. The scent of rum with Virginia tobaccos and a hint of Perique. I’ve always thought it was never in the interest of big tobacco in the past to market snuff because you don’t use the same quantity of snuff as you do with other tobaccos. The last thing I would of wanted if I was them, is to promote low quantity use of my product.
yes i make my own snuff. Right now i have 20 different single scented snuffs. If i mix them i will have too many different snuff types. I tried to mix some of them and i found a perfume very similar to f&t moucuba.
