INDIAN WHITE SNUFF /BLACK SNUFF...introduced by Dholakia

well ,looking to inquiries about special white snuff…from India…we decided to introduce DHOLAKIA WHITE SNUFF(tobacco) and DHOLAKIA black snuff for our Indian market. if any one intrested …pl mail your request.

Awesome, I look forward to trying these.

Haha just when I think I can take a hiatus from ordering more snuff…

Dholakia Snuff is my overall favorite snuff company, and Sparrow Cool my no.1 favorite snuff. I look forward to trying these as well.

request through the Dholakia website?

That’s what I did.

I’ve just emailed namrata - I’m really looking forward to trying these - Dholakia snuffs are great!

I’ve emailed you Namrata can’t wait to try the new snuffs…

Just got em’ today! First off, the cloth package the snuff arrived in was beautiful! I undid the stitching very carefully with a sharp knife so I could save it! I’m American, so I am used to manilla envelopes, very boring! Anyway, on to the good stuff, the snuff! I found both to be extremely fine, the black moist compared to the white. I’m not a snuff expert, so I really couldn’t try to explain the ‘flavor.’ The black which is indeed VERY black in color smells very much like Dholakia’s ‘base’ tobacco. It is very smooth but be warned, this is BLACK powder, so if you sneeze, you may end up with a stain on your shirt! :wink: The white snuff, is a really pale, tan color. The only scent I detected in this was a very strong ammonia-fishy smell. I know that sounds gross but it isn’t. It is actually a very refreshing, sinus opening snuff. Both were very easy to take. I used both one right after the other, so I couldn’t tell you which one had the big nic hit. I’m sitting here typing with sweaty palms, which is my common side effect of a good nic hit! :slight_smile: SO, my final opinion, I would definitely buy BOTH of these! My hope would be for these to come in a very cool Indian tin, such as the ones that Tom502 found in that Indian market (Another thread). :wink: TWO THUMBS UP NAMRATA! Thank you so very much for giving me the opportunity to try these out!!!

I can’t wait till I get mine(if I do, I hope). From your description, the black snuff is not like the Himalaya black at all. Maybe in color. The Himalaya is like a hard charcoal briquet, that I had to scrape off the powder from, and it’s really like the dust off of a charcoal, I was saying coal, but charcoal is more accurate. And the initial sniff, is a nice cool menthol, and a pleasant perfume.

I can’t wait to get them either! I sent Namrata an email, I hope she got it!

I sent a whisper, and filled out the enquiry at the site. I’ll report if they arrive.

OK, I feel she must have gotten my request, I don’t want to bother her more. Thanks for the info though, I’ll keep that for future reference.

I discovered that ‘Black’ is the one that has a very good nic hit! The more I use this snuff, the more I like it! I really hope it becomes available for sale soon! :slight_smile: BTW, neither of these are menthol or perfumey and both are free-flowing powder. No charcoal here. :slight_smile: That is a pretty interesting concept though. Sounds like hashish! LOL - Anyway, hope you guys get your samples soon! They will be worth the wait.

The black was potent. Very potent. I wonder if there is something besides tobacco in there.

tom, they do send requests directly from the website. I got an email back from them asking me for my mailing address for some reason after I requested the samples. Usually takes a couple of weeks for snuff to get here from India from past experience. Don’t give up hope quite yet, I haven’t recieved mine yet either.

I agree Xander!!! I take EXTREMELY small pinches every time and that snuff really affects me! I’m not complaining at all though! I think next time I take a pinch I am gonna see if it makes my pupils dilate! KIDDING!! Is this characteristic of BLACK snuffs? The blacker they are, the stronger??? What did you think of the white one?? I have a ton of snuff and swore I would use oldest to newest up first, but I can’t seem to put these 2 new ones down! I’ll be sad when I run out! :frowning:

I ‘kinda’ take back my black snuff question of strength because I am now thinking of a few American varieties that seem pretty potent to me and those are PALE brown in color…

I don’t think color has anything to do with potentcy, but in this case the black is wicked strong. However, the white gave a potent hit. The black gave more of a lingering buzz. The white is very fine and dry. Color of a toast but not the same character. I think the reason I got mine first is becuase I emailed Namrata directly and included my address in the same email. I"m quite suprised that there is so little buzz about these now. I thought everybody would have them by now. I think these both are what Pieter would call “rough-neck snuffs” I’m having trouble pinching both of these. The black is too moist and the white is too fine. I poured (actually scraped) some black into a snuff box to get at it easier. I still have to kind of stuff it in my nose! This gives serious dookie face!

I just got mine, and I have to concur with general opinion - these snuffs are good and strong. I’m taking small pinches at the moment (as I do with all new snuffs until I’m acclimatised to them) - in fact I’m not pinching these; as fine as they are I’m tipping out small amounts onto the back of my hand and sniffing gently. The black is fine, yet seems a little clumpy coming out of the container, and has the great aroma I associate with Dholakia snuff that lingers pleasantly for some time. It’s fairly smooth and easy to take, and with a good strong nicotine hit! I’d describe it as an Indian SP type snuff. The white is light in colour and fine and powdery in the manner of a toast, but much more so than HDT for example and with a very subtle, almost undetectable scent. It has a nice burn and pretty much instant hit, which seems greater than the black to me. Dholakia have outdone themselves - first making a range of delicious flavoured snuffs, then going back to basics with two excellent plain snuffs that are quite unique. Definitely recommended. Pieter: you will LOVE these!
