As a tobacco entrepreneur I was wondering if anyone could help steer me in how to go about obtaining snuff as a Florida resident & also what brands/ flavors are a good choice for a first timer. I have smoked, dipped, chewed all of the above in the tobacco world and am very intrigued by this other way to get a good ole tobacco buzz! I would love to know flavors, brands, accessories that would be needed & more than anything a good “safe” way to obtain said stuff. Thanks.
I do have one retailer here in Vero Beach who can order it for me from California but those brands are as follows: WE Garrett & Sons Snuff, Tube Rose Dry Snuff, Silver Dollar, Samuel Gawith, LongHorn, Dental Dry, Honest, Peach Dry. The company he deals with is Phillips & King. I have no idea if any of these brands are worth a darn & if they come in flavors, and how much to get and if I can get accessories. Also wondering about how to do snuff. As shameful as that may sound I am new to this game and any and all feedback would be great. thx.
Ya know… there’s plenty of info on this forum that’s just a click away… Try searching and you’ll find every single answer you seek with just a little bit of effort…
appreciate it! @ transistor
@ transistor: are any of the above listed snuffs a good choice for a starter to snuff not a starter to nicotine… Ive heard Silver Dollar is a good one? Can I a consumer order this stuff anywhere? Or will I have to go through a retailer?
If you click on the links to the right you can order for the forum sponcers. I have ordered from MrSnuff and from Toque and have not had any problems. I live in MO and it takes about a week for orders to arive. edm
@wak555 What part of Florida? I live in the Miami Beach area. I’ve tried every tobacco store I can find and I’ve decided that the online supporter shops are the best, safest way to get snuff. I used to be concerned about shipping costs but quite honestly, you’ll spend a lot more on gas to get nothing. Some of the Winn Dixie’s in my area have one or two scotches. As much as I love my scotches I wouldn’t recommend them for a beginner!
@wak555 Honestly if you want a frank answer- (and this is MY opinion) You should go over to the “MR. SNUFF” icon and click it. That’s who I would order from. They have the best selection and are very reliable. www.snuffreviews.com GO THERE. You can read about almost every kind of snuff and find out which interests you. I’d also try one of each kind of snuff to see what works for you. The ones you listed are mostly US Scotches and those are mainly enjoyed by the veterans or more advanced snuffers and aren’t exactly beginner friendly! Out of all the scotches I’d recommend Honeybee for a beginner. Even that is sorta tough on a noob. Just place an order with Mr. Snuff. I’d try: An SP- Wilsons of Sharrow - Best SP A fruit- Toque - any kind of fruit snuff A plain snuff- Fribourg and Treyer’s- High Dry Toast Samuel Gawith (don’t get the tap boxes)- Black Rappee etc. Those are all just examples of snuffs that are totally different from one another. That way you can find out what you like best and THEN you can come ask me or someone on here to recommend a snuff that is along the lines of the one(s) you like. There are FAR too many snuffs out there for us to just recommend you one without knowing what you like! Pinch a pea-sized amount of the snuff. Raise it to your nose and GENTLY sniff it into your nostrils. NOT like cocaine. You want it in your nose, not your sinuses or your head. Sniff from your NOSE and not your throat. If it goes into your throat it’s not the end of the world. However best results are when u have an even amount of snuff in both nostrils. Start with pea sized amount divided between both nostrils and enjoy! Very pleasant this thing called snuff…
@ transistor thanks a bunch I will look into it. appreciate the feedback. will be in touch!
@ Mustang: Mr Snuff seems to be the way to go im guessing. @ Miamimark: I live in Vero Beach, FL … If you know anywhere I can go into a store and buy in the area let me know. thx.
@ Transistor: does mr snuff offer accesories as well. ie a snuffer, case, etc. sorry for all the ?s i dont know a darn thing about this snuff game but dip dont work chew dont work and cigs are for ladies. no offense. Pipe dont crack it either.
@wak555 yes. Everything you need. Get a smashbox or snuffbox, hankerchief, some tins of snuff and maybe a spoon, and you’re good to go.
@wak555 P.S.- You won’t be able to buy European snuff here in the U.S. Even if you could, it would be stale and nasty. Trust me. You have to buy from overseas unless you like US Scotches. Mr. Snuff is your man. Blame the PACT laws.
@wak555: Possibly Winn Dixie but like I said, nothing but a couple scotches at best. Are you familiar with Captain Hirams, in Sebastian? I’m a regular there, even though it’s over two hours away! If fact that’s where my screen name, “MiamiMark” comes from.
“I used to be concerned about shipping costs but quite honestly, you’ll spend a lot more on gas to get nothing.” - Well said. I learned that the hard way too. One thing I’d recommend is to add some Poschl snuffs to the initial sample order. Some of those are great beginner snuffs and easy to use. Don’t forget the medicated/mentholated types too. Those can be especially appealing to beginners because they introduce a new dimension to the experience and its good to understand how to work with menthol rebound early on IMO.
I started with the Poschl snuffs as well.
@spyro thanks I forgot about the menthols! They’re great for beginners because they’re comfortable to sniff and get your technique down
@ spryo: any good menthol brand to recommend i love menthol… meaning a brand recommendation. LORD THERE ARE SO MANY!
Ok Thanks Guys Really Helping me out. If I buy a bundle does it come with assorted flavors or just a lot of the same kind?
Okay then Poschl is the brand I recommend. Try Poschl President.
