Sitting in the living room as I type this, with a stick of Satya Sai Baba burning. It would make a fantastic scent for a floral Snuff! Do any companies in India make something like this? Or anywhere?
It’s been brought up before. Not that I have ever seen. I love Nag Champa.
I’m burning Nag Champa now. A snuff that smelled like that would be great!
A menthol incense sounds nice too, come to think of it. Found Eucalyptus once, but unfortunately it was horrid. If there’s a Snuff factory somewhere in Bangalore, they would have to carry a Nag. During monsoon season, it’s the prevailing smell there. Lots of those trees. Close relative of Magnolia, btw. (Which leads us to another Dead topic. Lol!)
I had some Nag Champa soap.
These all things incense sticks and soaps are quiet common and a vital part of Indian life. If fact we have special soap called Panch Gavya Soap which is made with five vital elements of Indian cow. It is all vegeterian soap with purest sandal wood oil. Tom love all Indian stuff like lip tobacco etc. Ya these things are easily available here and also of very high quality. But thing is that sending it across US is not a easy job. Only a importer can help you out.
I believe if one of our US sellers could get some more obscure Indian snuffs, and snus, they would sell. If MrSnuff could get some Soex Upper Lip Tobacco, and filter snus, he’d have the market all to himself, the snusers would be buying it up. I think. I believe I was Indian in a previous life.
Tom if you know of any tobacco importer interested in other forms of Indian tobacco, just tell me. May be in future you and other tobacco lover can have indian snuffs . On thing I can garuntee that they will be the most unique experience once can have.
i think i might make some nag champa snuff this weekend!!! what a brilliant idea. I have a 1000g box of sai baba at home. the scent will permeate anything when setting near it, so infusing a snuff should be simple enough.
Authorabhishekbisawa, I was thinking maybe MrSnuff or Nicotinerush could possibly carry some more Indian snuffs, and I’d be especially interested in some Soex Upper Lip Tobacco, and Filter snus. I know there are other brands too, like Harsh. I also would like to try Sun snuff. I have some 5 Photo Himalaya, Sudar Sughand Rose, and TAS Madras snuffs, as well as some Dholakia, and Dholakia made brands.
I’ve purchased the Nag Champa soap a few times. Scented the entire house! 
@abhishekbisawa Is it feasible to scent Snuff with Nag Champa/Sampige oil or extract or by possibly using the fresh petals as it’s fermenting? Judging by the number of posts on the thread, I think it would sell quite nicely.
I wonder what incense is made of? You can get champa cones.
Masala incense (the pale coloured sticks) are made from Sandalwood dust, aromatic oils, Halmaddi, which is used as a binding material and “sweetener” and a small amount of Sodium Nitrite that helps the incense to burn and works as a preservative. Charcoal incense is just that. It’s simply dipped into a fragrance mixture.
Dholakia Kamal always reminds me of incense. I work in a largely Indian community and I smell it all over the place.
