More Fubar

Im afraid I wildly missed the quality of this snuff when I first tried it - something Ive been happy to redress before now. Ive just got one of the new 50g cans and re-aquainted myself and it really is a great little snuff, full of punch. The only thing that gets me is why its called plain snuff when it has a massive coconut flavour going on? Whatever, I love it. Also, the new 50g cannisters are the best of their size that I’ve come across, no doubt whatsoever that they will keep the snuff fresh indefinately. Less than a week from order to arrival - pretty good going, so thanks Mr Snuff.

I got the Fubar Medic, and it’s decent. I was hoping for a more stronger menthol, like a Hedges kick, but it’s still decent, and I like the quality of all the Dholakia made base tobacco. I am interested in the Fubar R&R. My next MrSnuff order will be more Dholakia made items. Do all the Fubars come in the 50gs? Seems I only saw Grunt in that size. Tom502

I’m becoming a big FUBAR fan as well. Grunt is my favorite and I like the R&R a great deal as well. I’ve not made my mind up on Shot of Rum yet though…I can’t seem to find the actual rum flavor. All are very punchy though. :slight_smile:

Hey guys thanks for the kind comments. Tom504: I only ordered the Grunt in 25g and 50g because that is the best seller. If there is interest though I will get the 25g and 50g tubs in the other flavors with my next order. OT- check out the “Buy 6” “Buy 12” feature attached to every product. It is a one click deal to add 6 or 12 to the cart. You get 5 and 10% discount automatically when you reach the cart. Looks easy but it was more complex than it looks. More kudos to Patrick the IT guy for writing all these little scripts that work seamlessly behind the scenes. OT pt2 - “Dholakia for FREE” again by popular demand. (Ok, not really free; you do pay a S&H charge…but it is a great deal) Oh and last but not least…you would know all that if you have signed up to my tweets and I wouldn’t need to hijack the thread to tell you!!! :wink: Dave

Ok…all this talk of FUBAR…I couldn’t resist. I’ve been chowing down on some skoal for the past couple of hours so with clear nostrils I took a big old pinch of FUBAR from my 25 grammer (perk of the job). Sole purpose to try to discern the coconut (the huge nicotine rush that has left me unbalanced, even though I am seated, is simply a pleasant byproduct of my experiment…honest). I have to say snuffster, I am just not getting the coconut…I wish I could say what it is I am getting…this is really a tough one to discern. Definitely a slightly sweet nose-feel, but what it is eludes me. Perhaps the coconut you sense comes from a slight alkalinity. The alkaline nature to many snuffs is what gives many of them a slightly ‘soapy’ flavor I think. Well, I am at a loss…so I guess coconut is what we’ll have to go with, since that seems to be the consensus anyway. Oh well…next time. Dave

I tend to get a mochaness with Rockit Naked.

I defininately taste coconut in Grunt. Always have. I thought that was intentional.

I thought the coconut was an ingredient, period. Very interesting if it is just some kind of nasal phenomena due to alkalinity. Fact is its a top snuff, whatever it gets called and will certainly be a permanent member of my very short list of great snuffs. For me though, the coconut is the main flavour, not just a hint, so all very beguiling…

Yeah its in my short list of favorites too, snuffster. I think you and I might have similar tastes.

You may have a point there. Im sitting here savouring that fantastic Levi Garrett. Is this regarded as a strong one? I seem to be able to take massive pinches, very, very enjoyable!!

Aren’t those nose-fulls of Levi Garrett nice.

yes sir, just terrific.

Yeah, I consider it strong, but supposedly the aging mellows it a lot. It should be softer and a lot of the sting will be gone. I plan on getting some fresh so that I can compare them. Snuffster, if you need a full bottle, just find the next person that is placing an order with Lil Brown and see if they will be an intermediary for you, or do what I did and get one on ebay! The only other “full strength” ones I’ve had are WE Garrett and Fred Stoker. The rest of my US ones are sweets (and oddities like Checkerberry and Maccoboy). I don’t take huge nosefulls though, since I’m still sort of a newbie, or a sophomore, perhaps. (but this is a thread about FUBAR) Oh right, sorry. I still have a bit of my ‘Malibu Grunt’ (Shot of Rum & Grunt) in a little phial. It was pretty tasty, I need to get back to it.

I did that with the grunt too, extremely nice.

I would have to agree with the consensus. I taste the coconut!!! This snuff has become my second favorite right behind my Tom Buck.

Yep, its pretty high up on the list for me too, although bizarrely I thought it sucked to begin with. If I’m reading Dave’s comments right, there is actually no coconut in there.

How does this compare with the Rockit Naked?

Ive only tried the Rockit Cherry. It might be the same snuff re-packaged. I believe ‘She’ and ‘Rockit Cherry’ are the same thing (correct me if I’m wrong Dave) So maybe the Naked is.

Well, someone in the reviews site suggested Grunt and Naked may be the same. Or did I read that as Q Snuff Natural being the same? I really like the Dholakia snuffs, but I hope they don’t repackage and rename the same snuffs.

I wish they would put the Dholakia name on all of their sub-brands…this is all getting to be way too confusing if not misleading as well.
