if I understand correctily salt makes a big diffrence. maybe someone who actualy knows what they’re talking about can elaborate further.
I’ve also got mould I’m afraid. None in my Auld Alliance though thankfully. Stefan
Bob - yes it does and salt was used, but as in the case of heat, clearly not enough.
Sodium Carbonate will raise the ph and make it harder for mold. Also increases nicotine uptake. normally added at 1-2%.

My understanding is that sodium carbonate will also increase the burn. One of the great things about Creme de Figue was that there was very very little burn, and it was a good snuff to introduce to people. I haven’t had any problems with mold and I would order some more of I could, there is some in my nose right now. Don’t worry Johnny unforeseen events happen.
Juxtaposer - pasteurisation is an aspect which I would look at very closely in the event of any further production. The snuff was heated, but I guess a degree or two could make all he difference to success or failure.
Johnny, I hope there will be further productions, perhaps as an aid to product development you could send small samples to the far reaches of the known world in small ziplock bags with the instructions of throwing it in one’s dirty sock pile.
That sucks, no mold in any of my SWS snuffs here. Then again, I 'd just do it like cheese, cut the mold off and have at it, but thats me. I have yet to try CDF, but I still will. Keep up the good work Johnny, dont let this misfortune get in the way of your talent. Sh#t does happen.

Thats a very good point. It’s pretty clear that most like it just the way it is. Hopefully Johnny can find a solution that stays true to the original. I made the suggestion to be constructive. I think this mold issue was going to have to be dealt with at some point, and while i feel a little turdly for being the one who raised it, i don’t really feel guilty. I have never been know as the most tactful person so for those who are currently unable to reorder due the the snuff being withdrawn, feel free to give me a hard time - i can take it.
