Hi guys! I just got back from France. The closest Tabac shop sold some snuffs. They had some Poshl snuffs- also some Poshl SNUS (which was kind of weird and nasty). Anyways, I bought some “Neffa Suffi” snuff from Tunisia. It was loaded with tobacco, baking powder, and Lime. This stuff had a pretty nasty taste, but the nicotine kick was the strongest I’ve ever experienced. Must be the Lime. It really made my heart beat noticably hard. Anyways, was wondering if anyone else has tried the stuff.
No haven’t tried it. Did you get samples for the rest of us?! lol

Can you post a picture of that Poeschls Snus?
Its made or imported in Belgium by the manufacturer of the Makla moist oral tobacco:here
You can buy Nefa Ifrikia here: Nefa Ifrikia Snuff
That Makla oral tobacco was one of the Snus’ I tried. Pretty nasty, actually. The Poeschls SNUS was called CHEEMA. I don’t have any pics- but it tastes just like the Makla stuff. Nasty. It’s kind of army greenish looking stuff and claims to only be 65% tobacco. Who knows what the rest is. Maybe don’t want to know?
I read you put it under the tongue which seems like it would really give you a crazy fast and hard hit that way.
You are right, it is Neffa Souffi, made in Tunisia. Snuff with calcium and chalk. Available in “exotic” shops in france, I never saw it in any online shop. Supposedly this snuff might cause a pneumoconiosis if not used cautious. Got this Information from a french site: http://www.refabert-luc-75.medecin.fr/tabac\_tabacsansfumee.htm
Here you go.
Don’t worry guys. You wouldn’t like it any ways. The flavour is nearly rancid. The only good thing is it has the strongest nicotine hit I have experienced with any form of tobacco including snus. The hit is fast and hard. Must be the lime?
doesn’t france have a high algerian population? At least for europe.

No, I bought it at a small Tabac shop in Besancon about 3 hours East by train of Paris. Parle vous francaise?
Sachets of Tunisian Neffa Souffi:

As can be seen on the manufacturer’s site (see page 2), even after the increase of price this naffa is still ridiculously cheap - 300 milims equals to € 0.1 (per 10 g sachet).
Fun fact: Tunisian National Board of Tobacco and Matches (i. e. state tobacco and matches monopoly) still manufactures playing cards (such practice of the bygone era is still alive there; if I get it right, it’s the single entity which has the right to manufacture cards; matches they do produce as well, but I’m not sure if they still hold a match monopoly).

So, tabac Souffi is a North African (Algerian, to be more precise; etymology) variety of N. rustica.
