Less Sugar

O

Sweet snuffs: I’ve tried Navy Sweet, Buttercup, Honey-Bee, Stoker’s Sweet, and Society. For me they are all too sugary. I like them for an occasional pinch, but I certainly don’t fill my snuffbox with 'em. Would I find any of the other offerings that I haven’t tried yet to be lower on the sugar scale. A few I haven’t tried are dental sweet, tube rose, red seal, and carhart’s. Which would rank lowest?

From the Conwood Co. Tube Rose & Peach. They are very mild in the sweet department & still have a good tobacco base. Also Red Seal & CC are low on the sugar scale. Of these, Tube Rose being my favorite.

Not really sugar per say, but things like Sweet Molasses & Honey Crystals give it a sweet scent in the nose as well as a sweet taste on the tongue. Any drainage in the back of throat is actually pleasant.

So it sounds like I need to try all the sweet snuffs that I haven’t tried yet. Is this why the collection grows so fast?

T

A snuff you haven’t tried yet could be a new favorite!

B

Of course I like some snuff more then others. It is rare that I find a snuff I don’t like at all. Alot of snuffs I’ll buy again just not untill I’ve tried some more.

Personally, I’d look for an American without sugar added if it’s going up your nose. I mean sugar doesn’t have much of a scent right unless it gets a little burnt. Right? I always think that even if the Americans were first used nasally, they eventually were almost exclusively used orally (is my info accurate?), I’d never heard of Americans being snuffed until a few years ago- and that’s the only reason I can think of why there is sugar added to some of them. Not that it’s wrong to sniff whatever you like, but I’m curious if the sugar makes much of a difference in your nose, positive or negative. Personally if I buy any American I’ll first see if they have an unsweetened snuff, before I’d buy a sweetened one, just a personal opinion… curious to see what folks think about the subject…

I don’t like any of the American sweet Scotch snuffs. I do find the natural sugars in tobacco have plenty of sweetness to them and that is what I enjoy. When I first read this thread I thought to myself, why are you @onefortheroad looking at the sweets for something that is not so sweet?  

M

Hmmm… ya know I’ll have to try some of them anyways… Which would be good for a not sweet, coarser, American anyways? There’s one place in walking distance that has 2 or 3 Americans in those 1oz~ tubs/tubes, and now I’m just too curious!

Rooster isn’t sweet.

H

I don’t like the sweet snuffs either, not even tube rose, but I love plain ones. All I can tell you though is that Square is more course than Superior and they both smell delicious. They are the only three I have experience with, lol.

M

Thank’s for the input! I’ll see if I can find Square or Rooster, failing that I think some plain WE is available here.

Micheltn-I think it’s a conspiracy with the insulin producers.

The ingredient list I saw had sugar substitutes. Which some would consider worse…

Juxtaposer was it you that posted the link?

S

I don’t care for the sweet snuffs either, but as stated of the sweet Tube Rose is the least sweet of the sweets IMO.

J

In fact the sugar substitutes are along the lines of what @nuusku was concerned about in his natural vs artificial thread.  http://snuffhouse.org/discussion/5871/natural-vs-artificial#Item\\_18

Holy cow!  Look at all the Skoal SNUS flavors!!!  Currently there are only two.  I’m jazzed =D

P

I preffer the sweets, specifically Red Seal, b/c i can’t stand the campfire smell of the rest. The smell seem to permiate my hands and i smell it for hours.

Sweet Americans make my sinuses hurt, but I like the plains.
