I am interested in knowing what Indian White type tobacco you use, when you are more likely to use them and how they rank in your favourite’s list. And if you’re not a fan, explain why.
Never tried one. Too finely ground for me from what I’ve read. I have a couple of finely ground snuffs which I only use when severely congested, but have no need or inclination to try anything that fine.

Yes, this is what is putting most people off, but again, what about most of the Dry Toasts? At the end of the day this is all down to personal preferences, and the problem with Indian White is that you need to get the knack of it if you are to enjoy it. Yes, they can be very challenging.

41 Photo White Elephant. I use it whenever during the day. I will kill a 150 gr can in under a month as well.

Well, that is the point I am trying to make. That particular one is the most obvious option, but there are other options. 6 Photo Natural, 41 Lilly Natural, Toque R

Yeah I’m not into the other ones. Dholakia W is very good but does have a tiny amount of scenting. I like WE because it has no scenting other than naturally occurring ammonia etc. Lilly natural is ok but is very mild snuff.

In my case it’s not a question of knack, just compatibility. The toasts and finer don’t work in my face irrespective of technique, believe me I’ve tried them all, so I just steer clear. Each to their own though, we are all built differently.

I like WE, and Dholakia even better. I’ve never detected ANY scent in Dholakia White, but have only bought two containers of it. I know that snuff batches are not identical.

I tend to snuff very rarely these days but only keep TWO snuffs on hand anymore. One Menthol snuff ( Currently Hedges ) and one White snuff ( Currently White Elephant. ) If I purchased every snuff that caught my fancy I would probably over do it.

I have not tried an Indian White yet. I’ve only had 6 photo 666 and Dholokia herbal. Out of curiosity, do all Indian snuffs have that outdoor sweaty market fish smell(for the lack of a better description)?

I know for sure White Elephant does. After awhile you sort of seek out the smell.

I used to be quite into them - Cheetah, WE etc but seemed to develop a sensitivity which had me sneezing and coughing violently so I’m laying off, at least for a little while. A shame cos I really liked them until then.
Good batches of Dholakia White are my favorite, but I tend to find there’s more variation between batches than there is between brands. Pick a batch at random, and I bet most people couldn’t tell blind whether it was WE or DW. I guess I’ve got bragging rights when it comes to obscure white snuffs. I pickedup 50 grams of white snuff in a tea shop in Lhasa, Tibet, when I was there a few years ago. Not as good as the others I’ve tried, but I keep it in my cupboard as a curiosity.

By the way, you mention Toque Rustica. There’s no way I’d categorize that as anything like the same animal as a white snuff.

I have only tried DW and WE, but I love them. Usually using it all day. The earthy smells are a plus for me. The kick is also a plus. Great for me to use at work also bc very little forward drip and color blends with my skin tone. Don’t know which between the two I like better. Have some cheetah in transit. Are there any recommendations for a fella looking to expand a collection of wonderful white snuffs? I also wouldn’t really consider Toque Rustica to be in the same ballpark as a white, its aroma is so different.

@agentshags, Willie Pete is really the only other readily available one not on your list. It’s different enough to be worth a try. I like it as a mixer.

@jakartaboy, I think that one is in my package in transit. Fubar is made by Dholakia, correct? I knew WP was a fine dry strong snuff, but I guess I didn’t realize it was considered a white
Willie Pete = white phosphorus, a napalm like substance used by military forces for purposes I’m blissfully ignorant, but I think it’s basically napalm.

Well I will anticipate my demise 
and I will embrace it. Better keep me in your thoughts lol I wish there was a wider variety of Indian whites though. I think they may be my favorites

If I have WE I don’t need anything else. It’s like having your favorite brand of cigs, chew or whatever else you can think of. I do enjoy others but for some reason me and WE get along extremely well
