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

Cheetah really blows my face off. It’s like a nose grenade. A world of pain and ecstasy at the same time. Pounding temples,sweaty palms and a maniacal grin for the few moments it lasts. I know it can’t be good for me but I can’t resist the lure. There’s something in it that tramples the fear and loathing.

Two broad types and numerous varieties. 1) The Madras type snuffs and 2) North Indian ones that are scented/ medicated/ varieties of natural . 

The Madras types are cured differently from the other types of snuff tobacco in India. The Madras snuff mixes contain cured tobacco fried in ghee (clarified butter) and are rarely flavoured artificially. The grind is between medium and fine and have good nicotine.The curing process of the tobacco before frying is different.The frying enhances the tobacco flavour and taste. Good burn, longer lasting and a nice salty back drip. Tastes nutty, chocolatey and of slightly roasted/burned tobacco. The North Indian snuff relies mostly on flavouring. Have tried only the Sixphoto range. Loved the medicated No,66, Motiya and Super Kailash. The tobacco curing process produces almost bland floury tobacco that takes flavours well. Besides you also have a big range of herbal snuffs.
