I just don't understand people who throw out snuffs

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. :slight_smile:

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.

I only throw away snuff I absolutely hate. WS Kendal Brown is one example… but I have kilos of snuff I like… saved for times of war.

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.
