Is anybody able to aid me on my adventure into the world of Indian snuffs?

Indian snuffs have of late called me an i feel that my next order must be of on eastern variety. I have decided to start with 6 photo and was just wondering what i should fill my MrSnuff virtual cart with? (besides mentholated snuffs as i have enough in my collection and have of late found them a little tiresome). any guidance would be greatly appreciated :smiley: Tommy

It would not hurt to try as many as you can of 6 Photo. Most are available in 6g and that is a decent amount for making a decision if you like it or not. As for non mentholated, Natural, Super Chetak, and Cheeta would be the ones. Special, Kaliash, Motia, and Anarkali do have some camphor but to me they are nothing like English or German menthol type snuffs. Good luck with your order.

Agree with @willc try all of 6 photo, I would also recommend you try Dholakia snuffs, I particularly like Kamal and Ganga, to me they smell like incense. Lovely :slight_smile:

Thanks all ill let you know how the order goes and as for the menthol flavours I shall give them a try if they are different from the euro types :slight_smile:

@tommybegley no.66 is definitely different from european menthols. Its my fav at the moment.

what would you say makes it so different?

I second Ganga, especially if you don’t want menthol. I would also add that the menthol in 6 photo isn’t quite as ridiculous as medicated english snuffs can be. It by no means drowns out the other scents and is the first to fade.

hahaha yes! menthol does in many snuffs just ruin the underlying flavours

I say sparrow cool. The menthol is so mild it doesn’t get in the way of the great tobacco scent. And you’ll get a great idea of what the underlieing indian tobacco is like which in my opinion is as huge part of the indian snuff experience as the strong excotic scents are. Try a lot of them. The ganga is one of my favorites and one of the most relaxing snuffs of all time.

Super chetak is one of my favs. I even reviewed it a while ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ducslVhxNAI

6 Photo snuff are coool ,I enjoy them all Dholakia have a few I enjoy .White ,Black ,sparrow cool, swiss chocolate And there contract brands wow. temptation. and blast are ones I have tried. Not positively certain but I believe fubar is dholakia made and grunt is very nice.

I recommend stopping by your local Indian Grocery, if you have one available. Most carry TAS Madras, Sugandhsagar, and maybe some others. They’re as good a starting point as any.

ill have to check out my local indian shop, and thanks joesnuffer for the video it was really interesting. yeah i did look over the flavours of the tobacco its self, i was just thinking of the huge flavours.

I have one of each of them, if I may suggest my favorites…SPECIAL…Kailash, and super kailash,anarkali…( the last one is really good, lots of rose scent) My favorite has to be SUPER KAILASH…dont make the mistake of getting a small tin…oh no…Get a 45gm of the super kailash, special, and anarkali…and might as well get one of the kailash as well…the cheeta, chetak, and others are very nice…but I prefer the four I mentioned…hope this helps!

cheers grey, ill be sure to add them to my cart :slight_smile:

I had a look and they are all in the bundle if i’m not mistaken, they are such a good idea those bundles

Try the bundle @tommybegley, that’s a great idea. The 6 photo and Dholakia snuffs are two different tobacco bases. You will usually find people who love one or the other/or someone who likes them both. Good Luck my Friend :slight_smile: Take a pinch for me…

Thank you @mrcolcannon I certainly will take a pinch for you, and ill let you all know what I think of each

Sorry it took me so long to reply, its been a busy few months, MY GOD these snuffs are wonderful, there so powerful, I have been able to shovel European snuffs in since these arrived (due to there much coarser and less throat tickling nature) , and my cigarette consumption has dropped dramatically (they make me feel sick most of the time these days). The menthol is much better in these snuffs, they compliment the flavours perfectly. I don’t know how I ever lived without these little pots of Indian magic powder. Thanks again for all of the advice

@tommybegley Ever since i started with snuff some months ago, my cigarette smoking has dropped too. I was a pack a day smoker but now down to 3 to 5 a day. I think im still smoking because i like the feeling of inhaling warm smoke, but they taste funny Inn comparison to the snuffs. I’ve fallen in love with 6photo snuff as well… especially Anarkali, Kailash, and #666. :slight_smile:
