My first snuff order was last December and I’ve been making one every month since. However, there are so many different brands and flavors that I still feel incredibly new to it. The variety is so overwhelming that I’d like to ask you for one type of snuff that you think everybody should try. I’d have to say mine is Arnold Andre Aplenprise.

So many I could name, but if pressed to just one, I’d say McChrystals Original and Genuine.

Tube rose

WoS Grand Cairo

Name one? That’s evil Seriously though, snuff is so diverse in terms of grind and flavour, and everyone finds they want something different from a snuff. One per “category” would be fairer. That way if some tries a snuff and wants something drier, moister, coarser, or whatever, it’s easier to navigate to the type of snuff that works for them before exploring all the scents. For example: Toast: F&T High Dry Toast Menthol: Hedges L260 SP: WoS Tom Buck Coarse: Toque Berwick Brown Indian: Anarkali But then there’s also schmaltzers, scotches, South African, fruity, herbal, plain… you’re quite right when you say it can be overwhelming. It took me quite a while to find my way through the basics of the snuff world and identify “types” that worked for me, and more importantly, what to steer clear of to avoid disappointment. Maybe someone should do a flow chart / map I bought MANY snuffs which were recommended highly on here, only to discover they don’t work for me at all. Based on my own experiences and tastes, I now avoid mentholated snuffs, fine ground snuffs, coffee snuffs (with the exception of a couple of WoS snuffs), artisan snuffs, greased snuffs … and the choices that remain are still overwhelming :))

After reading your comment @50ft_trad , you are definitely right. Wow. I think I may have already thrown away more snuffs than I have kept! lol

Dholakia Swiss Chocolate .The ultimate mixing snuff. It makes every snuff better. Or just use it straight . No calories snack for your nose when you just have to have chocolate. And who don’t like chocolate? Damn Dholakia should pay me a commission . >:)

I second the vote for Dholakia Swiss Chocolate.

However I should nominate something I think a snuff explorer may like. Samuel Gawith Irish D Light is very easy on the nose, of medium-fine ground, and imparts a lightly honey-sweet scent with no burn or backdrip.

This is actually more difficult than I first thought because Im trying to set aside suggesting something just because I personally think it’s awesome. My first thought was a good SP like QES/Tom, then I thought maybe thats because I prefer those. Next would be a sweet scotch because those are a little different experience than other snuffs i think.

ah, I see @snuffsahoy covered the sweet. So I will second the Tube Rose

6 Photo Kailash.  Everyone I’ve had try it enjoyed it, including my tobacco-resistant sister.

Another nod for Bernard Virginie. The only possible explanation for this mind-meltingly great snuff to be so discouragingly inexpensive is the cardboard packaging. Do not be fooled; it is sublime.

Toque USA Whiskey & Honey

That was going to be my suggestion too, @SeanOCDPx. If you’ve never tried an Indian snuff this would be a great introduction to a wide range of exotic snuff out of India.

Here is shortlist from me:
SP: Toque Original
Toast: F&T HDT
Mentol/Medicated: JH Wilson Medicated No. 99
Fruit-Mentol: Samuel Gawith Apricot (Poeschl)
Kendal Brown: Samuel Gawith KB Original
Flowers: Toque Rose
Florals: F&T Dr. Robertson Justice
Plain: SG Black Rapee

One snuff I couldn’t be without I would have to say is NTSU BLACK. that is for sure, love the barnyard armoa!

Abraxas St Casura 

Toque Violet. Theres nothing quite like it. I sure don’t use it often, but I think everyone should try it at least once.

I’m going with Old Mills Butternut I think everyone should try it at least once before it’s no more.

I’m also going to go with OM. So many good ones to choose from, but I’m going to say Kind of Blue. I hope this one is not a limited release.

Kendal snuff. Kendal Brown. Not the scented sort (never had and don’t care too). This tin is really old (10 yrs.) but still has the goodness as the day I got it. Would like to try some fresh to compare. O by the way aged (7yr.+) old Toque Toast and marmalade is just as good as fresh. IMO.

I like to mix Toque Peanut Butter and Toque Chocolate at about 2:1 ratio to make a “peanut butter cup” snuff.

If I have to narrow them down to one I’d have to say McCrystals Original and Genuine is my go to. It doesn’t block up my nose at all if I blow after 10 minutes before my nose dries out.

One of my favorite daily snuff blends would most defiantly be 3:6 McCrystals with 1:6 Rustica and 2:6 AlpinA

Out of the hundred plus i would recommend, I would say everyone should try Old Mill Pure Virginia Toast, at least one full large tin

There is just so many, but I would have to say FUBAR GRUNT, G’Day

McChrystals : Stammheimer HOPFEN SCHNUPF !

I’m a huge fan of WoS GOLD LABEL.

And if you don’t like SP types, I’d say High Dry Toast by WoS or FT

I second the Kendal Brown, or Viking Thor’s Hammer…or any raw, salty, leathery, peaty snuff.

OM Commonwealth!

Snuffstore Traditional SP. Very good, mellow, earthy, sweet in a way…

McChrystals Highland Ice. Very much similar to the Original & Genuine although much smoother, it has a perfect balance of eucalyptus, camphor and a little bit of menthol blended with a complex alluring tobacco muskiness with a clean crisp finish. It is an easy to take snuff with an medium grind and moisture, making it a fluffy and softer snuff compared to O&G.

This has become my go to snuff after recently discovering it while working my way though the English tobacco range

I’ll second the WoS Grand Cairo. 

There are so many snuffs out there to choose from, but Grand Cairo is one that I purchased based on the opinion of someone on this site. I am very glad that I did. 

i would say pfff this is hard but F&T Old paris

gotta have a Molens de kralingse on this list so I’ll submit…

Chococreme…

Mine by a mile is Viking Thor’s Hammer, just love the hit and smell but I do prefer coarse snuffs.

I fully understand you my friend. @lunecat is right there is so many types of snuffs and your “flavor buds” in you nose changes in time.But if I had to pick a favorite Brand it’s hands down the great Old Mills :-bd and coming in a close second would be Johnny’s Sir Walter Scott. But watching a lot YouTube snuff videos may help you pick a favorite also lots of research&asking around will help.

Falling in love with madras toast and wos menthols again…DAMN YOU, FALL!!! Ugh…gotta recommend sg cob gold and crests aswell. I feel like getting some poschl…can I just recommend all snuffs? Like…all snuffs in existence…depends on season though…right now Im recommending toasts and naturals…and some menthols…and some fruity snuffs. Gotta stop now, this post is only gettin longer.

Everything except menthols and Bohican.

Sir Walter scott Mull of oa is just like wow what’s going on. I gave a pinch to a heavy smoker friend of mine an hour and a half after he was like “Hey I did not realised I did not smoked !”

All of them.  How else will you know?

If you get a chance to try the new custom variation of Spanish Gem it is magnificent. Hopefully down the line it makes its way into the classic Toque menu though it is only available in the group buys at the moment. It is a superb snuff with a few similarities to the original Spanish Gem though vastly different, do yourself a favor and pick yourself up some of this superb snuff.

Toque Spanish Gem extra aka Ambrosia.

Sam Gawith Black Rappee.

EVERYONE should try it!

I think I will change my first post to F&T HDT, as far as I am concerned it is the best snuff on the planet.Flavored snuffs are good for a change but I am mainly a plain snuff man , there are to many great snuffs to even begin to name them but F&T HDT is #1,  G’Day

Gawith Hoggarth Sandalwood.  Not the tap box, of course.

Viking Spear now I wanna try FUBAR grunt…

Everyone should try Dholakia White, just for the experience.

Way too many for me to list just one. 

Just this minute I’d say Bernard’s Alkoholfrei, though I’m also enjoying Winterpris and Regensberger right now.

Toque Spanish Gem (can’t wait to receive my order of the custom stuff!)

From the snuffs I have had until now, I feel everyone must try the Super Kailash

McChrystal’s Clove if I could only pick one.  It hurts so good.

SG Elmos Reserve, absolutely love this one! Though unfortunatly im out at the moment  :((

Try one in every major category. Try a plain toast. A few natural mid-coarse snuffs, a floral, a fruit, a menthol. Try a few Indian snuffs, both scented and unscented. Also, any flavor that just appeals to you personally. Dholakia White, just because it’s a fairly unique variety. And try two or three artisan snuffs, just to satisfy your curiosity and answer the question as to whether they are worth the extra money yourself.

F&T~HDT is a good snuff every1 should try at least once. Or some Toque~Ambrosia is up there close by the HDT

Samuel Gawith Kendal Brown (any of them)

Six Photo Kailash

This stuff is incredibly good! I wish I could get my hands on a tin larger than 20g. Can’t seem to find it in bulk anywhere. I’ll have to ask @sixphoto about this.

I would have to say, any of the new Toque offerings that come to market. I have time and will stand in line.

@Oregon - After all the while of envying you guys for having access to so much variety of snuff, and I only of the Indian ones, I feel good to mention that I have a 200 gram tin of Kailash

Looks like I turned on to snuff a few months too late! I looked online for many of these types that were suggested and it looks like the majority suffered the discontinuation? All good though, nonetheless. Thanks, everyone, for all of the suggestions. I was able to order quite a few of them, still.

Everyone should try making thier own snuff.

Singletons original super menthol. Not too strong on the menthol front, good rich tobacco base. Second on my list is Swisher Strawberry, not cheap but oh my, if you like sweet snuff this one is heavenly!

@PaulG Good call on the Singleton’s Super. I dont’ hear it mentioned around here much.  It’s super simple (in a good way!) and refreshing.

I’m sure OSP has been mentioned but I don’t see it.

Not an individual snuff but one heck of a mix if you like scotches. Do a 50/50 mix with W.E. Garrett and Bruton. The Bruton is so fine it seems to “coat” the Garrett particles making it almost a “heavy” consistency, but still ultra fine. Its a lot easier to take this way. It also gives you that quick hit of nicotine Bruton is known for but less brutal I guess you could say, along with the more “buzz” like effects of Garrett. It really is a match made in scotch heaven.
