Hello all, New to snuff, been snusing for about 2 years now. I am mostly getting my nic from snus, but still like to roll a cigarette a few times a day. Mostly Bali Shag and Peter Stokkebye. Thinking about expanding into the world of snuff for a while now and just ordered some from Toque last Saturday. Well I got impatient to try something, so I went to HEB and bought a 1.15 oz tin of W.E Garrett Scotch snuff. That stuff is pretty crazy. I tried some in the parking lot and it went down my throat and ended up with watery eyes and coughing and sneezing fits for a couple of minutes. I have tried a few more sniffs since then and am still getting a burn and the snotty snots, but starting to really like the flavor(tastes like camping), and the feeling(very wide awake and alert for a bit). I think I am a convert. I can’t wait for my order to come in so I can try some others. I will be trying to cut down the smoking to maybe one a day or just a couple on the weekend. Oh yeah, here is my order from Toquesnuff, let me know what you think. Cherry Menthol Espresso Menthol Natural Toast Natural Original Peppermint Spanish Gem St Clements Vanilla And 1 Acrylic bullet Happy snuffing! Mitch
You made some good choices there. Natural Toast is probably the single snuff I use the most. Your original choice of W.E. Garrett ranks high on my list. For a milder but otherwise identical version, try Dental Mild. It is very good. If you weren’t aware, you can dip these U.S. scotches as well, but I would avoid it with the European ones. Have you introduced yourself on the intro thread yet?
Not yet. This was my first post. I had heard about people dipping the Garrett. Seems like it would be all over the place. Do you have to bake it at all?
Welcome to the board! I just started snuffing a couple months ago myself. You’ll love the Toque sampler. I got to try other variaties and brands through samplers people mailed to me as well. Just placed my first order with Mr Snuff couple days ago looking forward to getting it. Too funny you mentioned HEB. I baught the we Garrett there too. The regular scotch and sweet mild. Are you in San Antonio as well?
Haha! Yeah I’m in San Marcos. I think we had a similar discussion over at snuson a few days ago when I first made the order. 
Haha that’s right… Didn’t connect the 2… If you can handle the garrett you can handle anything, it’s a finer grind than the toque. Just remember to inhale very lightly like youre just smelling the air… You’ll do fine.
Naw you don’t bake a scotch. You just kinda put it in and let nature take it’s course. Someone once told me that their grandmother uses a knife to put her snuff in her mouth. I had a boss who was from India who would put a bunch on a toothbrush do a quick brush then keep the toothbrush in his mouth. My first snuff was a sweet scotch, Peach to be exact. I had a similar experience although to a lesser degree cause I only use a small amount. Three things need to happen before you can truly enjoy snuff to the fullest. 1. You learn how to sniff it, 2. Your nose gets used to having snuff in it, and 3. You brain adjusts to the level of nicotine in snuff. That was my experience at least. Anyways, welcome aboard! There are a lot of great people on this board.
I once put some Conwood Peach in a piece of coffee filter and used it like a white snus. It was okay for me, but maybe better for others.
