@Firestarter0 whoops good point forgot their descriptions Gulab Sugandh Sagar Rose - A dry, fine rose scented snuff. NB Madras - A typical madras style snuff (fine and fried in ghee) with a nice strong hit of nicotine. Krushna Photo Brand - Moist, earthy brown snuff with musky and slightly spice smell to it. Horse Brand - Moist earthy brown snuff which has hints with i can only describe as hints Turkish delight. Will update the original post
@Firestarter0 sorry misread your question as well. The Rose and the NB Madras are fine snuffs.
Order complete
Thank you for your kind words @Roderick Yes I know PayPal isn’t ideal it’s just a stop gap for now, would much rather bank transfers. Hopefully will get a real payment processor sorted out soon
I can recommend the NB Madras to those who like strong, unscented Indian snuffs!
NB Madras ordered from @indiansnuff. Thanks mate.
Just ordered one of each from @indiansnuff… Looking fwd… Many Thanks.
Ordered one of each!
Indiansnuff, best of luck in your venture. Watch out for Paypal seizing your money for selling tobacco. it’s good you have an alternative method of payment. The tins look great.
Let’s hope there are no grasses on the forum…

I agree, I think it would not be an untruth to sell it as “Herbal Remedy for fatigue”, let’s hope the big super computer at PayPal has not intercepted communications…maybe we could have a code word book…
I should have the proper payment processor set up shortly so fingers crossed
Yeah guys, just use common sense. Avoid the words “tobacco” or “snuff” in your transactions and paypal will have no clue, and your orders will go through fine. Its not good for a long term commercial use, but paypal is good for trades between members until indiansnuff gets his webshop up and running.
As @xander says PayPal is just there are a stop gap for people that can’t do the bank transfer. I am currently on talks with a payment processor and as soon as it’s sorted the option to pay by PayPal will be removed and the website open. Thank you and have a great day everyone
There is always a possibility of a mole. It has happened before.
Glad you like them @lunecat
@indiansnuff Thanks for the Snuffs, and the super speedy delivery, wasn’t expecting them today but boy what a surprise. They are both amazing, looks like I’ve found a whole new adventure into Indian Snuffs. Thanks again.
Mine arrived this morning. I will update this post as I sample them. NB Madras: This is seriously strong. There is a toasted flavour to it, but it is essentially plain tobacco and very finely ground. I don’t normally notice a nicotine hit from snuff, but this one has definitely set my heart rate up. When I was at school, there was a boy who lived in Africa (Kenya, I think) and every now and then he would bring back some African cigarettes called ‘Rooster’. They were the most outrageously strong cigarette I have ever smoked - more hardcore even than Belomorkanal Papirossi (those are the Russian ones with the cardboard tubes). I think I have found the snuff equivalent! Gulab Sugandh Sagar Rose: I wasn’t expecting the menthol! This snuff smells like artificial rose - think Fry’s Turkish Delight on steroids - but the first thing you get from a pinch is a considerable menthol blast. Once the menthol has faded the rose confectionery remains, and is really quite pleasant, but it’s an unusual experience. I’ll certainly be keeping it around for the occasional pinch, but it’s definitely not for everyday. Consistency is quite dry but fluffy - although it’s very compacted in the tin - and it’s easy to take. I suspect that if you like highly scented snuffs like SG Cuckoo or Bouquet then this will entertain you. Horse Brand & Krushna Photo Brand: I’ve grouped these together because, to be honest, I don’t think I could tell the two apart in a blind tasting. Whereas the Rose and the Madras came tightly packed in the tin like American scotches, these two are both more moist, and looser in a tin that has a tinfoil seal rather like a tin of cocoa powder. Both have light menthol over a sort of generically ‘Indian’ musky/floral scent. Menthol is perhaps slightly more prominent in the Photo Brand, and the floral note is perhaps more prominent in the Horse Brand, but essentially these seem like two different manufacturers’ takes on the same style. They are both easy to take, and I suspect would be nice additions to the collection if you are a particular fan of the style, but neither made the same impression as the Madras or the Rose. Overall, though, I have really enjoyed sampling some very different snuffs, and although I think only the Rose and the Madras will be ‘keepers’ for me, I would urge anyone who hasn’t yet taken up @indiansnuff on his offer to do so, and order as many as you can - especially if, like me, your experience of Indian snuffs is currently limited.
