That I enjoy moist snuffs more than dry snuffs. which snuffs are moist? I know german snuffs have oil in them, and english are moist because of water content/

The black rapee’s are hella moist. I would highly recommend WoS Brunswick, SG Princes Dark, and Wilsons Best Dark. be forewarned these are MOIST…dark heavy snuffs. Definitely not much danger of hitting your throat…but to me they sit well in the nose.

A main concern for most snuffers is keeping snuff moist. Learn how and your golden!

I agree completely with Juxtaposer…it may not be traditional or classy, but I love the 4oz/118ml rubbermaid containers…cheap and they do a great job of keeping my snuff moist and fresh!!

so lots to try, lol. If a snuff dries out how do you rehydrate it? distilled water? edm

Xander and snuffster are the pros at rehydration as far as i know…I’m sure they’ll pop in to give you some tips

The trouble with re-hydrating snuff is that with de-hydration some flavour is lost and can‘t be fully recovered. Snuffs are subject to stringent moisture controls at the factory. These are relevant to a specific snuff and are taken very seriously. If you don’t know the required level of re-hydration then you are stabbing in the dark. Nevertheless, have a squint at Tony Barr’s ‘The Pipe and Snuff Place’. There is an article titled ‘Rehydrating Snuff’ http://ermtony.blogspot.com/2010/03/rehydrating-snuff.html Plenty of other techniques are discussed on this forum

I prefer the indirect method (evaporation) that way the snuff will not take more than it can handle.

In other words, put my snuff in a humidor type container with a humidifacation agent?

@Xander, agree 100%

@mustangii: you could, I suppose. I gave some directions on a thread yesterday about gritty schmalzler, that include a simple evaporation technique.

High ambient humidity is a great way to over hydrate snuffs. I really hate the summer.

@Xander I meant to ask if this technique was good for all snuffs, or is it designed with primarily schmalzers in mind?

No. I just applied what I normally do to rehydrate snuffs to schmalzlers. It seemed to work ok. There are dozens of methods of rehydrating snuff. Some direct, some indirect.

Thanks bud…good info in that post btw!!

I have come to realise, that your spelled “realize” wrong haha. Sorry it’s just been a long week and I couldn’t help but say something…

Realise is the English spelling @giaach. Stefan

@giaach: they don’t even have z’s in England, only some funny little things called “zeds”. Bizzare! or is it bissare?

Zed’s dead Xander…

damn!

And…it’s not a motorcycle, it’s a chopper!!

oh those Brits and their spellings…

Yeah I can’t spell well, lol. Of cource My Mother’s maiden name was Jeffries so it just might be my English is showing. edm

I am an Englishman therefore my spelling is definitive. I wont take abuse from people who cannot spell colour and metre correctly.

or the way they pronouce schedule, lol

don’t forget drawrings

It’s our language. You Yanks fucking ruined it!! (Joke!!!) Been out of the UK 9 years. Is ‘zed’ really dead? Has ‘zee’ invaded, sorry I mean liberated, the UK? *wink*

Pedophillia is wrong!!! It’s paedophillia. (Jimmy Carr, I’m not taking the credit for that one).

I think people are more well rounded than they get credit for, no matter what side of the ocean you’re from. I’d call myself a German- American if I was asked…hell, my family still says “Gesundheit” when someone sneezes!!! I’ve been to Holland ( it happened to be in Michigan) and actually own a pair of wooden shoes! (I did not know of Jaap Bes at the time, so I did not even look for him there). So imo, sometimes it’s bad to assimilate. Why not be a mix of a couple cultures and be proud of your own history as well?.

@OscarWabbit I was making a reference to Pulp Fiction with the Zed’s dead line. I have to admit complete ignorance on the actual zed, that was a knew one on me! And I agree, us Yanks did do quite the job of butchering the English language!! But, oh what fun it was!! @Bart You’re right there…I’m Irish and I drink a good bit of beer!

We over here have a Zed and over the pond it’s a Zee.

Oh I dunno @FischTix, when it comes to cussing I have great respect for our American cousins. It’s just tradition that us Brits pull your legs about English and you rib us about our manky teeth. *grin* Giggity Giggity Goo!

My family tree has many branches, German, Polish, English, Scotish, and Osage Indian. No wonder I like Snuff, lol.

Yeh…we’re pretty good at cussing…I tend to spout off a stream of curses…and halaf the time I end up with a few I’ve never even heard of before…just kinda make em up as i go along! And what IS up you Brits and your teeth…ewww…lol!

I try to keep the cursing in check, as a Christian and a Boy Scout leader I am expected to set a good example.

That reminds me of the joke about Boy Scouts eating Brownies…

No comment…

I’ve come to realisze that I’m to fat. What should I do?

“Oure language is also so dyuerse in it selfe that the commen maner of spekynge in Englysshe of some contre can skante be vnderstondid in som other contre of the same lond.” (Lydgate, 1530) The sixteenth century witnessed the long, slow process of standardisation to overcome linguistic anarchy in England. It resulted in national unity, the world’s first industrialised nation-state (at the expense of Celtic languages) and what was possibly the world’s greatest flowering of poetry and literature. English in Britain is steadily falling apart like the state itself. Blame shoddy teaching, brainless celebrities, advertising slogans, trash novels, junk culture, text newspeak, pidgin English speakers and inverted snobbery. A London school teacher, recently interviewed on television, condemned an initiative to improve English standards with the judgement that “It don’t work.” It don’t work do it? Well you should know, cos you is the English teacher. Particularly irritating is the recent phenomena of Hayching. Pronunciation of H is Aych, yet more and more often one hears the blood-curdling haytch. Always ask the speaker whether they are Irish and, if not, insist upon the Queen’s English. Not only is it the correct pronunciation, but it is also easier to say. GSTQ

I’ve come to realisze that I’m to fat. What should I do? Firstly, rephrase the observation as “I’ve come to realise that I’m too fat.” Secondly, consider loosing weight as the likely solution : >) (Pieter, I thought you were a fit mountain-biker)

@PhilipS, I thought “too” means also? And “realiszed” is spelled with a s and a z to please both Englishmen and Americans! In SA we spell it “realise”. Oh, and I used to be a very fit mountain biker. But a couple of bad spells kept me off the bikes and now I can’t motivate myself to start training again. I will be doing a 22km funride on the road on Sunday in preparation for the Argus P&P Mountain Bike Challenge on the 5th of March. That’s why I want to lose (loose?) some wheight.

Paging Lynne Truss …

Pieter, I think it’s the way we look at our self! When I stopped cycle road racing, first I just piled on weight. I said far to heavy must lose some. Then as my body settled down, I trimmed of again. Now I wish that I had some of that weight back. I can eat & drink, but no, I’m a skinny 69.45 yrs. kid once again! Your not much younger then I, I could never get on a bike again. I envy you.

Nice pic, John! (Did you tape a tin to the crossbar?)

His gob is all dark, thats the nose run!

Can’t see him going more than a lap without a pinch,…

moist snuffs to spelling to cursing to biking, what a wide range of discusion:-)

That’s one thing I love about this forum; OT is not a sin! Normally.

OR…I’m to fat, meaning as go to hell as in, I go to fat, A.K.A shit. (gone to shit), (gone to pot), (I suck shit/ass). Ashes to ashes dust to dust I’m to fat the tin to rust Understood? If so then there is no need of correction. For the topic…Most snuff can be hydrated to your preference. Certainly a factory fresh snuff is perfect by design, however it’s maintenance must be strictly observed.

@SnuffHead, I thank you for kind words! I took my road bike (a hybrid actually) for a run this morning, did 20km in 1 hour. I’m quite happy with that as it included a stiff climb.

The tin is on the handlebar

I went back …and damn you weren’t lying, Snuffhead! Dedication!!

he is lying that’s an odometer it measures the number of odes sung per ride.

Well, look at his hind quarters… He may have a few extra tins stashed there as well

that explains the look on his face.

LOL, Bob! Well, don’t laugh until you’ve ‘passed’ a tin.

I have a 250G tub of Wilsons Camphor & Mild in my Bonk-Bag!

@ Bob & Bart, I wish now I never posted the picture, I just can’t stop the laughter! @ Pieter, That’s great, glad that your getting your head round it.

too late

I’d say the 5 and 6 Photos, minus the Super Chetak.

yeah need to get some, when the money becomes avalible, lol edm
