you know I have not tried them and I get the impression that people definatly buy them frequently. I guess people don’t think of them as being Indian enough like and indian snuff company should be. I’am sure they are awesome just haven’t got around to trying even close to half of the snuffs I really want to.
Most of us, at least in the UK, had taken snuff for years before we even knew snuff was produced in India. It didn’t really figure in the early part of this site as memory serves - and then it just explodes, seemingly, on the snuffing senses. Great stuff.
I ordered the 6 Photo 25 g bundle and it shipped last monday. I also ordered a couple Dholakias. it should be here any day now! The anticipation is just killing me. When I get it I’ll have a little bit of snuff from each country that sellls it on Mr. Snuff. Although my collection will be far from complete I eagerly await the order, especially after hearing so many good things about indian snuffs
What about the Sun snuffs? Have they been DC’d? I liked the two I ordered, still have most of them, at least one of the two smells like a dhoop stick incense, which agrees with me personally.
also I don’t know which 6 photo to get, I don’t want anything musky, but am ok with most florals- unless they’re extra heady. Also which would be a good substitute for that 5 photo (raj?) it’s rather pitch black, and very dense- as a 10 gram tin is tiny. I’ll try to find that tin to look at the label.
I find Sun companie very interesting,their snuffs are quiquly différents each others,I enjoy too Dholakia but in"indian line" before all).I love Sher of Sun,so full of particularity but staying in the tradition.
Which ones were dhoopy?
bob The Rasili triggered the sense memory for me. Maybe a little rosey-er (not “rosier” I think), what I’m trying to say is that the rose is probably the predominant scent, which may be different in some of the dhoops, but I can only compare it to the little Indian sticks that I can find locally. At any rate I find this less heady than some other rose scented snuffs out there. Yes definately less heady than WoS Rose, I just sniffed those two right now… Also, I can say that I detect no musk in the Rasili, which would be a deal breaker for me…
btw, You guys can call me Dhoopy if you want… I like it!
@Mr.O. If you like Indian snuff without musky smell then you can try our special or anarkali. Anarkali is like Raja. Cheetah white snuff & LA Natural are without menthol & perfume
And I enjoy very much in 6 photos particulary the natural one for the moment.
If you are more into toasts and dry snuffs, try 6 Photo Medicated No. 66.
Has anybody tried the new Dholakia Toasts at all? They sound interesting.
We will finish to think you work for 6 photo howdydave… :-j
For Dholakia toasts,I’ve just ordered some Black and some White,absents sice a long time but,if I have buy some new African,I wait too see if they’re close to english toasts or not.
Dave is the unpaid brand ambassador for 6 photo snuffs :-)) :)) :-))
SIX PHOTO, I’ll try some of those. I like lots of floral scents, with just a couple of exceptions. Are any reminiscent of a quality Nag Champa incense, or any with a predominant sandalwoody scent- even galangal, or frankinsense etc.?
A Mr.O The Dholakia Herbal is looking really good. Mixed with tobacco should be great.
Hmm, is that the tobacco-free one in the little flip top? I’ve got some but it’s a couple of years old. Maybe to mix with the D. White? That never occured to me, you might be onto something!

Howdy Gandalf!
Must have been all those years that I spent as a seeker traversing the path of Advaita Vedanta Hinduism…
Either that or my love of Palak Paneer (a delicious, hearty North Indian dish prepared with spinach and Indian cheese.)
@Mr.O You should give Super kailash a try if you like the flavor of Nag Champa. @ Juxtaposer We use oils of Indian herbs like cardamom, cinnamon, saffron, clove, nutmeg,aniseed etc in varying combinations in almost all our snuffs.

ah so that is super Kailash. I wondered. I can’t tell the names from my samples. Though They’re all great.
