@thorgrimnr…Thanx a bunch for this OT… I bookmarked it…some of the packaging on the Chimo looks as good as the product… Funny how packages I never seen, all look vintage like to me… Guess that’s just my eye… How you like to take a sightseeing world tour and sample all the products en route ( plus the food to boot ) That gets me thinking, I haven’t visited Mexico yet, is that a tall tale " don’t drink the water "

It’s ( IPCO ) mostly used my women in India according to the NTPD. Thanks for the link, it’s a little out of my price range though. There’s a few other products there that are new to me as well. http://hookah1.com/HOOOKAH2/index.php?route=product/category&path=6\\_21
The gallery is fun too. http://www.ntpd.org.uk/gallery
@thorgrimnr they only sell by the case shame they don’t list how many, I think it be a life time supply. I got the t.p.s.madras, swastik,and rose with another member here. and I had got the 5 photo and nc arya off a different member.All excellent products. I like to know where you can get the Chimó I seen the vat they mix it in looks like tar. chimó is a derivative of snuff paste containing 3,000 chemicals, of which eight are carcinogenic, capable of producing six types of cancer, and periodontal damage.http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://blog.ciencias-medicas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/chimó.jpg&imgrefurl=http://blog.ciencias-medicas.com/archives/1380&h=276&w=183&sz=7&tbnid=ckSY5r6ZIOF12M:&tbnh=90&tbnw=60&zoom=1&usg=\\_\\_BIwS6QO5RGpLTGu\\_vCponBt7NIY=&docid=e-eEWzeDEd\\_Y4M&sa=X&ei=BSaIUeWGGqbG0wGrkoHADQ&ved=0CDkQ9QEwAg&dur=1453
@basement_shaman , sounds delightful. It’s that 6th type of cancer that puts me totally off. I am betting that the IPCO creamy snuff is like a very finely ground loose snus. Mixed with clove oil, camphor and other delightful flavours.
@basement_shaman…we need you on this forum… I am sure you all translated it… I didn’t have time to translate it all online… But didn’t need to see more than uranium and polonium…guess FDA does do some good in states, even if there is a big fluoride scare and a bunch of other scares.Maybe the country of origin of this CHIMO needs there own FDA like administration… Kinda hoping you have a tough time obtaining it . Lol Beginning translation € ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ £> - The consumption of tobacco in any of its forms is one of the major causes of premature death in the world. - The chimo is obtained from the baking of the tobacco leaves. This paste has a lot of sales, especially in the towns of the interior, but it is as harmful as smoking. - The chimo contains carcinogens, irritants of the mucosa and traces of radioactive elements (such as uranium and polonium).
@AANYCAARDS I reside in stones throw of a Nuclear power plant, You can’t believe everything you read. I sure cancer will get me. Mom died of cancer she never smoked tobacco or drank alcohol. I have done far worse and been exposed to chemicals, asbestos, carcinogens, neurotoxins ,silica dust , arsenic, mercury and countless other poisons, Including smoking everything under the sun and extreme alcohol and other related abuse. I am quite positive the small amount of Chino I would be able to acquire would have little effect on my well being. In fact being exposed to small amount of uranium and polonium may be just what the doctor ordered. I sure it is less than the some 300 plus x ray’s I had as a guinea pig at a dental college at age 8 & 9. This forum survived before I came to it and will long after I expire. But thank you for your concern. Every day I am on this side of the turf is a miracle.
@thorgrimnr IPCO Creamy Snuff is like a brown gel toothpaste. It doesn’t resemble snuff other than its brown. Its squishy not like snus. My local Indian shop carries it and I bought a tube to try once. The buzz is pretty good, but the flavor is a bit odd, though very Indian.
@basement_shaman I just called the folks at Hookah-1, there are 20 tubes of the IPCO paste to a case for $60.00. They only sell by the case. I mentioned that all his snuff listings do not mention the quantity for the products for the price listed. He said he would remedy that. I’ve delt with him quite a few times and his prices are hard to beat. He supplies stores that sell India products
@Xander , thanks for the description of the IPCO. The odd flavour is probably something I’d like. I’ll have a search around my area to see if I can find any. @perique good job on finding out how many there are by the case, I thought that pricing was for one tube, and thought this stuff must be amazing.
