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…
