You don’t like a snuff? Fine. Keep it, you’ll possibly develop the taste for it at a later time and even if you don’t, why not use the disliked snuff as a mixer with something you do like? Throwing out snuff is a travesty.

Throwing out of snuff, by anyone, but particularly by people in the U.S. should be punished by Flogging(by a female Swedish bodybuilder named Helga). Throwing snuff out just seems wrong to begin with never mind the hassle and stuff it became after PACT. I mean at least try and trade it or if it’s dry rehydrate it and mix with something else. I say with pride I have never thrown out any snuff. Never plan too either

The only snuffs that i have thrown out r some Toques that were misplaced for about a year…loss of all scents n nic hit. I figured they were due to be 86’ed!

I didn’t like Toque W&H or Spanish Gem at first. I am very thankful I kept them as they have moved up to heavy rotation.

I agree with the sentiment but unfortunately I have thrown away one tin in my time: a small tin of WoS Prime Minister, but let me explain. Firstly, all I could taste in it flavour-wise was spearmint and anise which are both my idea of snuff hell. Both of them rolled into meant that this was a snuff I was never destined to get on with. Secondly, I was relatively new to this forum and didn’t expect anybody to trade with someone without an established reputation. Should I ever come across a snuff that contains flavours I find absolutely abhorrent again, I will gladly put it up for trade but since then I have only come across snuffs I find unappealing but have later come to enjoy (recently some HDT and Tube rose which have been sat in a draw for 8 months have become my daily snuffs which just goes to show how drastically tastes can change).

I have given away snuffs I could not stand after giving them the fairest of shakes. Not quite the same as throwing them out, but not a trade either. On the plus side, I made a few new snuffers.

As a newbie I tossed some – Santo Domingo, which was a bad mistake as I’ve now come to love it, and some Babaton which I don’t miss at all but which someone else might have gotten good use of. Sorry for the loss. Suffice to say, I haven’t thrown any away since the early days, and there isn’t a snuff in my drawer that doesn’t hit the rotation occasionally. I do have some that might go up for trade someday though, since I just don’t use them as often as I probably should to get the best use of them. So much snuff, so little time! For what it’s worth, I think gifting snuff might be the higher moral ground than trading, just because there’s no personal gain, it’s just pure generosity. Gold star for gifting snuff.

Well said ddavelarsen. My thoughts exactly.

I think I am guilty of one of the worst ever snuff throws! A couple of years ago I had quite a collection in a large tupperware box. I had not stopped snuffing, but I was only using one or two types of snuff which I kept separate. The snuff in the box was not getting looked at. I was not visiting the snuff house at all and on the odd occasion when I looked around in the box the combined snuff smell left me feeling a bit put off. So one day, one the spur of the moment, I chucked the lot away. I must have thrown between 10 and 20 tins away. I didnt count them but it was somewhere around that. Ill just highlight a few of the snuffs that I threw away - two hardly touched samples of the original Spanish Jewel (one moist, one dry) which I had got in a trade with Throustroker, an unopened tin of Cafe Royal and a tin (or plastic flip box actually) of Robby’s top mint which is no longer in production. Sorry guys, I still kick myself for it! Now if you can just send Helga round…

Mopey you reminded me of the time I threw away a diamond encrusted gold bar. Shame on you.

I have to agree that throwing out snuffs is wasteful when they can be passed on to someone else who enjoys them. I use ones I don’t like as either mixers for others snuffs or as condiments with pipe or roll your own tobaccos and just smoke them up.

I guess the good thing from tossing one away if you were to do such a thing is that it’s likely to bring on the sale of an additional snuff sooner therefore helping the industry keep going.

I’ve never thrown any out, im way to cheap for that. I have given some away in the hopes to turn some smokers into snuffers.

Dude. I couldn’t snuff Red Bull. It made me sneeze and the nic left something to be desired. That was what the trading post was for.

I’ve never really thrown away snuffs I didn’t like, I just mixed them all into a huge jar and created a monster.

Good point, chuck it all together in an old jar and you might end up with a surprisingly good mixed grill.

I threw out a whole tin of Bruton snuff that was exposed to iron oxide. I think I did the right thing.

Ive never thrown away snuff but I have thrown out snus I didnt like once or twice. Lets just say Im not a fan of wintergreen snus. blech

most wintergreen snus are terrible. The probe whiskey is one I threw out. I know some people like it but I find that hard to understand.

I’ll admit it I threw away a flip box of Ganga a while back. Every time I used it my nosed killed and my faced felt like it had been hit by a tennis racket. Needless to say, it just wasn’t my cup o’ tea. I tried to trade it but nobody spoke up…

Two other snuffs I threw out where two tins of F&T that I bought from ebay “with some content still inside”. They were pre-tobacco warning tins but I dont think they were pre-wilsons. They did have snuff inside but one sniff was enough for me. Absolutely rancid!

I think you would have to go a long way back for them to be made by FandT: they were contract made way before the shop folded. Oscar makes a very good point. The last snuff I threw out after a few pinches was Fubar grunt as I arrogantly thought I knew it all (or knew my nose) I even gave it a bad review. What a mistake that was. I was asked to try it again and to my shame thought it was superb and re-reviewed. You’re never too old to learn.

Hmm, I must admit I’ve thrown away a couple of half empty tins of snuffs I like when they’ve dried out a bit. At a pound or two for a new one I’d rather do this, than rehydrating them.

Ther’s three communal snuffboxes in our local so I donate any un-wanted snuff there.

I do have to admit to throwing out some long misplaced Toques in the past (they seem to lose their “juice” kind of quick) but I will never throw another grain out if I can help it. @SnuffHead …that’s a right Proper idea there…too bad snuff is just not that popular round here…

I have occasionally found some snuff to be either so unpalatable, or to be so old as to be beyond rehydration, that it is worthless. Actuallly, its not worthless. I don’t throw it out. I put it in a jar and save it for insecticide. In fact today I need to whip up a batch becuase my oleander tree is infested with some little orange devils.

Xander if your tree is infected with devils I think snuff might not help. I’d suggest a magi or priest on this one.

Hahaha “In the name of The Lord Jesus Christ, I command the Demons to come forth from this oleander tree!! Demons be gone!..and other such stuff”

No, these are not any sort of supernatural demons. They are little orange mites of some kind. The tree has them by the thousands, and they’ve been multiplying. They cluster on the new growth, presumaby that is the tastiest part of the plant. Anyway, I gave them their first snuff bath while dinner was cooking. They started dropping off right away. I think one or two more treatments will do the trick, to make sure I get any new hatchlings.

They look like these: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tonyolm/689014061/in/photostream/

Yes sir…aphids of any kind ARE pesky little devils! good luck on their quick demise.

I must confess I have thrown out quite a few: QWS Jasmin, a few Dholakia very perfumed samples, the contents of a box of Lowenprise, a very stale tin of a Toque I can’t recall… and some others I can no longer remember. No regrets though.
