Howdy! All these years that I have been farting around with Ozona President… How come nobody ever told me about the WONDERFUL snuffs that are made in INDIA? I got a 6 Photo Kailash freebee from Mr. Snuff and I could just kick myself for wasting all that time with European snuff! Then again… my retailers here in the USA didn’t carry any snuff from India. THANK YOU MR. SNUFF!!!
cause you didn’t ask.
If you think Kailash is good you have to try some Sun snuffs. Sun Kohinoor was my first snuff and probably the best snuff Ive ever had. The Indian White snuffs are good too, if you like loads of nicotine and super fine/dry snuffs.
If you like Kailash you should really try 5 Photo Himalaya, it is very similar but I like it better than Kailash
I must try me an Indian snuff… You all make it sounds so good
Howdy Mike! Are those handlebars real?
Those Sun snuffs are mighty strong. Few mention it but they deliver some nic.
@howdydave : Sorry Dave, I couldnt grow facial hair to save my life… Lol
You should try Dholokia White or 6Photo Cheeta, they’ll knock your socks off. Literally!
Howdy! I have ordered: 6 Photo Super Kailash 6 Photo Special 6 Photo Cheeta Dholakia Sparrow Cool 6 Photo Kailash and Sun Kohinoor (No 5 Photo was in stock.) That should get me started anyway. I prefer moist snuffs.
I think they took a lot of us by surprise. One day Dholakia appeared and a whole new world (or continent) of snuff arrived. I have yet to try an Indian snuff that tastes like a western one even the ones meant for US consumption - they all have a distinct background taste, I always liken it to incense.
They are very nice, but I need to be in the mood for them. They are very floral/parfume-ish. I rather have toast with a coffee for instance… But yes, there quality is superb.
I like the Indian snuffs scents, but they frequently start clogging me up out of nowhere. A friend also temporarily ruined one (no longer an issue as I’ve forgotten which) by remarking after taking a pinch, “You know what this smells like? A fresh urinal puck.” I still want to try more, but because of the clogging they cause me at random, I’m only about half way through an 8g tin on 6 Photo Anarkali that I bought last winter or fall.
Thank you all! Lovers of Indian Snuffs. Look forward to hearing from more connoisseurs.
The most US/UK friendly Indian snuff out there IMHO wouls have to be Sparrow. It’s got a plain tobacco base with a light coconut touch. The Sparrow cool has menthol so you don’t really detect the coconut. It’s real pleasant and much more refined than the plain Taj Madras.
I think the coconut smell might be rustica. Just a theory but I’ve caught the coconut in various degrees in diffrent snuffs that have rustica. Though now that I think of it it’s more likely that the coconut scent is diffrent enough from the rusticas that maybe it’s a hybrid tobacco or something like that.
Are Dholakia White and White Elephant the only “white” snuffs out there??
Sometimes non tobacco glucose based snuffs are sold as white snuffs, but unless you want to snuff mentholated sugar they are best avoded.
@zzedo310 6 Photo Cheeta is also an Indian white snuff
5 Photo and 6 Photo appear to have the portrait of the same person as their logo. (To me it appears to be the same person based on the online images that I have seen.) Are they manufactured by the same company?
