I had some pipe tobacco in pouches and tins. Very dried up. Maybe I didn’t like it or it was forgotten. A half box of SG FVF over 10 years old. As dry as kindling. A box of 1792 Flake about 5 years old. A pouch of Amphora Full Aroma. A tin of Ashton’s Artisan Blend. All beyond smoking.
So I took each one and ground it down to a fairly fine degree, as I like it, in my two blade coffee grinder. So I had four snuffs.
All were nice but the quality SG flakes were really good. Nice nose burn, an aroma of depth and a good nicotine buzz. These snuffs were as nice as commercial products and certainly quite original and interesting.
If you have unsmokable dried up tobacco don’t throw it out. It’s worth trying as a snuff first. If you don’t like it yourself you can always give it away to the poor and needy.
