I have some South African snuffs that are quite dried out, and I could swear my Taxi Red’s lost quite a bit of potency. Although it could be my imagination, does anyone else have thoughts on this? I mean, I’ve heard from some it doesn’t lose any, but I find I can take way more than I usually do.

I prefer the ammonia and moistness, even though it sticks easier to my nose when it is dried out and doesn’t tend to fall out. I really don’t have much trouble with actually using them, and they’re hands down my top favorite snuffs out there.

I figure maybe a way to get around this is to immediately decant and only pour out what you need in a snuffbox so it retains the moisture. I may end up only buying the Taxi 15g instead of the 25, when it is packed down it retains the freshness longer.

Dried out Taxi is Taxi Dead, potency-wise.

@volunge Thanks, s’what I figured!!! Gonna have to decant my next batch and figure out a way to keep it fresh.
