I started when i was 10 my grand dad lit me have a pinch while fishing and it was Levi Garrett been doing it ever since
I just started with snuff a couple months ago. I’ve tried every other form of tobacco but never snuff until recently. I’m 41 and my first was Royal George.
I had my first snuff a couple months ago at the age of 18. First one i had was Poschl Ozona President and it remains one of my favorites
43
36 / Molens Latakia
My early twenties; I can’t really remember, but it’s somewhere in that ballpark.
14 or 15 but, I tried to smoke it!!! ? See below.
last time I told it it was on snuson. If someone told me then I’d end up owning a snuff company…
When I was at school and around 14, we stole a masters tobacco tin. We smoked all his RYO and then tried rolling his snuff. I put it to my lips and a friend lit it. I sucked burning snuff straight down my throat. Suffice to say I never went near snuff for years.
I was eventually shown the proper way to take snuff and the rest is history. I couldn’t tell you what brand the first smoked/sucked one was but, I know the second was an F&T, don’t remember the flavour though.
I was in my early teens when I first tried snuff. It as a Garrett Sweet. I am pretty sure that first sniff went all the way to my toes.
That was enough for me until this year.
First sniff…13 years old or so. First enjoyment of snuff…this year…49 years old.
In grad school. Peach scotch.
34. Toque Natural. Natural has been replaced by Quit in my rotation, but I am still a regular Toque customer.
I thought it was very recently, but a sniff of SP reminded me that as a kid (about 7) I found a tin of top mill, and had a good sniff. I’d completely forgotten about this until then.
First sniff would have been at age 19, using ground up Gambler cigarette tobacco. First “real” snuff was Garrett scotch.
- Saw Navy Sweet in the grocery store and it stuck out among the cans of chew and moist snuff.
Mine was when I was 18. Toque Chocolate, I think.
Snuffed on and off for a few years, forgot about it, then recently found my collection sitting in my closet.
Luckily it was in an airtight container, so while some of it is a bit dried out, most all of them still have their flavor!
I was 17 when I first tried snuff.
I was about 45 and my first was either W.E. Garrett Sweet or Railroad (both American snuffs.) I wouldn’t suggest starting off with American snuffs; they are dry and harsh compared to most other snuffs. They may even contain carcinogenous chemicals that you won’t find in European, African or Asian snuffs. (That’s just a guess so don’t take it as gospel truth.)
Twas WE Garrett Scotch. I was 16 at the time, using my ten years older, brothers, lisence(really got into some trouble w/that let me tell you.) I purchased it from a Tobaccoist that would make me cream my jeans today. He had everything.
12 years old. cherry scented coke snuff. Procured from a curious establishment by the name of “The Freedom Shop” on 4th street in Marrero, Louisiana(on the west bank of the river, across from New Orleans) in 1972.
23 and WoS Bugundy. A glorious morning spent smoking good pipe tobacco, drinking well-made coffee, trying snuff and philosophising. Memories. Ahhh.
