I’m just cranky pal. I really want to learn something I don’t know so I can connect the God damned dots.
Completely understandable.
Went looking for sources of latakia tobacco today and came to the conclusion that I can buy snuff as cheaply as I can buy pipe tobacco; just might be worth it though if I can snuff what I think I want to… I’m putting an order for a latakia blend pipe tobacco on my next order list. We’ll see how my snuff making with a latakia blend turns out.
Worthy of note is the Syrian latakia verses the Cyprian. These two being the more readily available are touted by smoking enthusiasts as distinctly flavored. Among other leaves are the various oriental strains that possess their own distinct qualities. In due time I will discover these as snuff. Anyone sooner, please express your opinions.

Excellent, thank you!
Old thread, I know, but if anyones looking. I just got a 5gm tin of very old unopened WOS Cyprus. After a little rehydration, it is smokey, strong, rather like Molen’s 1860, but finer in grind. I’ve never had a snuff quite like it. I wish they still made it. Does anyone know anything of it’s history?
Wow, lucky you! Yes I read a review on it by Nigel (Abraxas) some time ago. He may chime in and tell you something. I wish that was something that they would revive
