So on my first order from Mr. Snuff, I tried a few Indian snuffs. Mostly they were 6 Photo mentholated, but I got their natural, as well as the 41 Photo Himtaj Black. I cannot express to anyone my sheer love of this snuff. You get the cooling menthol at first, but there’re the other flavors that settle in as they sit in your nose. Probably my favorite thing about it is the whiff I get when I forget and go outside or sniff and I get that mixture of attar and incense when I wasn’t expecting it. It just makes my day. I’d say I’m not addicted to snuff, per se, but to Indian mentholated fragrants I can no longer live without. In today’s shipment, I got two 200g cans, the Kailash and Super Kailash. It just made my heart glad seeing ALL THAT SNUFF, as I decanted it into some airtight containers. In addition, I got 6 Photo’s Motia, which I am sniffing now. The rose scent (it’s rose, right?) is just exquisite, especially with the mix of other flavors. I have found that I don’t cough or sneeze or plug up with any of these fine ground fragrants. In fact, they immediately moved up to my “Can’t Be Without On My Person” go-anywhere snuffs. Unfortunately, my girlfriend despises the scent and I cannot snuff it while she’s around. I have to respect that, even if it makes me sad (the others will suffice 
). The first time I snuffed it, I wasn’t used to a finely ground snuff and immediately took a massive head shot. It went straight to my brain and froze it out (OUCH!). I knew I was onto something when I opened my first little container and smelled that nag champa flavor. My gods, this is why I got into snuff. The straight tobaccos are wonderful and I enjoy them, but the Indian fragrants simply make my heart glad and make me want to get everybody into them. I’m sure they’re not for everybody; we all have our tastes. But how can anyone not simply LOVE the aroma and feeling of a mentholated Indian snuff? It’s like a party in your nose.
I do think everyone should find a place in their rotation to enjoy these delights even if only once in a great while.
Just got my first tins of Kailash and Cheeta today! I’ve enjoyed Motia for about a year and a half. Nice nose burn

If the only snuffs in the world were Indian snuffs, I’d shrug and bear it. I could get by with Dholakia Sparrow, 6 Photo Cheeta, and some of the Madras snuffs without feeling too much loss for the other continents. Chuck in the UK, and that’s my global snuff map.
Well, Dholakia White, Black, Sparrow and Swiss Chocolate have already made it on my list of must have snuffs. I have to add 6 Phota Cheeta to that now. If I keep going like this, my list will be filled with Indian snuffs.
“I’d say I’m not addicted to snuff” - me too. I’ve been snuffing a large amounts of tobacco for four years and I have not addicted yet!
It’s funny you look at historic posts and Indian snuffs were pretty unusual and unused by westerners as recently as five years ago. Peter’s page doesn’t have anything about Indian snuffs on it. Then we get introduced to 6 Photo and 41 Photo and Dholakia and these days you almost hear people talking more about things like Anarkali and White Elephant than your Rose of Sharrow and IHT.
I’m not going to quit trying anything new, certainly. There’s such a wonderful variety of scents and flavors out there that it’d be nearly a crime not to keep going. But I find that when I reach for a snuff, it invariably tends to be one of the ones I mentioned. I got some new ones (F&Ts) that I’m eager to try, as well as the WoS variety. But I tend towards florals and apparently medicateds as well, it seems. I tried the Rose of Sharrow, but its flavor is just too strong. I’m going to try and mix it with a natural to see if I can get it down to what to me will be a tolerable level of rose. I want to try the Attar of Rose as well. I’m still brand new to all this, so I have a long way to go. Perhaps this is a phase (the Indian fragrants), but I don’t think so; I’ve always loved the scents (growing up poor in Southern California in the '70s and early '80s culture helps).
