A bit of frivolity if you don’t mind… Say earth was conquered by alien invaders. After a while an edict comes down from the Great Intergalactic Grand Phoobah himself. “All snuffers are henceforth and for evermore allowed only one variety of snuff.” Which would you choose?
Navy Plain. Not too anything, just middle of the road. Or maybe Aecht Altbayescher Schmalsler. Or maybe, I can’t get down to one.
Only choosing one would wipe out my top three. Too strong in flavors to use all the time It would be Toque’s Quit
I’m afraid I have to agree with our disorderly friend there. While I do absolutely love love love the stronger flavours, I’d prolly just quit using snuff after a while. (Well, not really. I’d just start trying and making my own favors, ¡Viva la revolución!). But Quit, it’s darn tasty, and not too thick of inyourfacedness.
Easy choice for me, 5 Photo - Himalaya Golden.

Gotta have Toque Quit!
Is grind up the aliens trying to oppress me an option? I’ll make it one! Ken
Fubar!
Sandra Bullock
Would that be Sandra’s Bollocks??
Might as well make it count, NTSU.
Tough question, but I would go with Molens A/P.
Either of the Garretts.
Predictably O&G. Nothing else beats it for me.
I’d hate to see all the flavors go, but, if I can only have one it would have to be Garrett.
Learning a lot here so far; keep 'em coming:-)
Wilsons SM Blue. I can go all day without a pinch, but the first thing in the morning and last thing at night I need my Blue.
probably Wilson’s Crumbs of Comfort, or Wilson’s Irish High Toast #22
SG’s Gold Mull
Toque Pomegranate!
HAH! Silly Alien, I measure my snuff reserve by the pound, he can make all the rules he wants to I’m not playing his game. First thought would be to breakout my Russian .308 VEPR in the face of such a despicable law and teach Mr. Alien a little about insurgency. Oh all right! I’ll go along, probably ‘Honest’ Snuff, I started with Levi Garrett many, many years ago but 'Honest" is a little easier on my decrepit body now. But I’d still have ny reserve of O&G, SM500, HDT, IHT 22, Toque Natural,Sparrow, ‘Standard’ and the Bernards, but I’d promise never to sniff them … honest!
Either Toque Whisky & Honey or F&T High Dry Toast
Wilsons Gold Label…but what about my beloved NTSU. Got a plan. Start a rumour that the aliens have located massive oil reserves. Rumsfield will go apeshit. Suddenly the banning of snuff will be unconstitunal and un american (PACT what PACT). The yanks will attack the aliens under the pretext of protecting the snuff lovers of the world (oil,its nothing to do with oil). The aliens will put dish cloths on their heade and claim they are Muslims. The taliban and Al Queda will rush to their aid. Prehaps its not such a good idea after all… Just have to settle to WoS Gold Label
No question here - Irish High Toast No.22. If the aliens land I’ve got 3.5lbs stashed from the Wilsons sale :o)
Sandra Bullock, I won’t need snuff if I can be in her company. Sniffing her will be enough.
Kamal (at the moment)
My god, please let it be so. Why do I have all these distractions? Why can’t it just be done with? My lover is here with me yet the magnetism of another veers me. Why should I choose? They can take all my garbage and stir it all into one big pot and that is what I will snuff. Actually, I’ll just have what you’re having.
Absolutely. Well said.
O&G definately. Stefan
anything not poschel or peanut butter or packards club. Any of them and I’ll survive. If I had to really choose I’d say grunt since that one is my go to when the others aren’t doing the trick.
toque quit
Wilsons Camphor & Mild.
O&G.
Looks like there’s a definite trend towards Quit, O&G, Garret and NTSU. All fairly strong choices if I’m reading right. Thanks a lot everybody. Now I have a good list of snuff’s I have to try beyond what I’ve so far had a go at.
The way I was thinking is there are snuffs I use more then the strong ones. There are snuffs I like better but every once in a while the only ones that will scratch the itch are the strong snuffs.
I find the scotches are the ones to scratch that itch for me. Just a bit too strong for all-the-time-only use.
I agree with the above. You didn’t say favorite or most used, you said “just one.” I use Rooster and O&G way more than NTSU, but if I had only one, I’d go for strength.
If I had to choose today it would probably be Tops Mild Scotch. I have the complete selection of American snuffs and I have to say this one stands above the crowd for me. Of course, if I could only choose one to flee the country with, quantity comes into the equation. I have a nice and full 4.65 oz tub of tops, but if I couldn’t grab it I would reach for one of my half pound tubs of Wilson’s Raspberry or Extra Crumbs of Comfort.
Bruton by the 6 oz can. What can I say–I love nicotine. It makes a good snuff and a great dip.
Mike B, that’s what my grandma used to say.
Polar bears don’t talk to their grandmothers.
was your grandmother by any chance me?
Unless you died in 1977, nope.

Got an order in from WoS last week, and in addition to the perhaps 9 or 10 of their snuff’s I’ve tried as well as McChrystal’s Apricot, I have allready used half a can of F&T Santo Domingo. Echoing some of the above remarks, I would definitely go for the SD if I could have only one, because of the strength, ease of taking and even the cool old time tin. I was complaining about the lack of a “hit” when I first got on here, but that was then and this is now. The SD has serious kick, and as I grew up around cows and horses there is a nice olfactory nostalgia there, as it so much smells like a cow pen. Great stuff. But also like you fellows, I would be hard pressed to give up some of the others, especially Raspberry and CoC. Got some Taxi Red and Blue coming, should be interesting…
Taxi should satisfy your need for cow pen smells.
But the real question is: what if you could only have one brand?
Xander said “Taxi should satisfy your need for cow pen smells.” This is true but Taxi Red or Green once into the nose is a very satisfying snuff IMHO. Ed
@ Pike Mopers: THAT is a much tougher question. Toque, Wilson’s Mcchrystals, US Smokeless, F&T and Bernard all pop into the front of my mind.
Only one snuff…what a depressing thought. I’d have a hard time choosing one of each type without misgivings. If my house was on fire and I could grab just one on the way out, perhaps Spanish Jewel because it’s irreplaceable. But it’s not an all day snuff for me. Think I’ll have a pinch right now!
At one time, I would have said Dholakia Sparrow Cool… but right now, I really don’t know.
If I had to pick one, based on the ones I have had, I think Toque Whiskey and Honey might be top of the list. Ken
Crumbs of Comfort, without a doubt.
That’s easy…McCrystals Hops (Hopfen Schnuf), hands down. I could snuff that all day. Oh wait…I do! Excuse me a second .
If it could be kept fresh, Taxi Red. Or possibly the ever-functional O&G.
Toque Natural or Wilsons IHT#22. If I had to stick to one snuff only it would definitely be an unflavoured one.
I’d probably be fine with Toque Natural, but SG Irish D over #22.
@enten-eller SG’s is a bit too sweet for me, but also very nice. I prefer more bitter taste though.
I like bitter too, but I think the little extra smokiness of the #22 might be too much (all the time) if that was all I had. I’d manage w/it though. But yeah, I mostly prefer bitter over sweet. One of the less smokey americans come to mind. I’ve found that even stored well and in the nice tins, F&T HDT loses strength after a couple of years or so.
@Ardrasath how many tins would you have to take along to a desert island? 3 or 4 a day right?
