I enjoy tobacco in several forms, pipe, snus, an occasional cigar, occasional roll up, and of course, snuff. Now I really like my pipe, I have many blends to choose from, and good many pipes to choose from, but lately I’ve noticed, even after smoking a very strong (read vit N) blend, like a twist or Irish Flake, a quick pinch or two of snuff still delivers a nice lift. Have you noticed this? Just the other night I finished a whole bowl of SG #4 twist, and was feeling pretty good. Decided to top the night off with a bit of snuff, and by golly, I felt it. Not heart-beating, room spinning, but a lift, a moment of clarity, of, dare I say, brilliance. I wonder if it’s psychological, or due to aroma or what. Same with a big pris of Skruf Stark. That’s a pretty good strength snus, that makes my head feel warm, and still, a couple of pinches of snuff right after getting rid of the pris, delivered. Snuff rules.

I just finshed a monticristo #2 and was craving a sniff of Touque Original. go fig.
nightcap, I’m jealous! Haven’t had a (real) Montecristo #2 in a while! Dang I love those cigars! Tom NicotineRush.com
I’ve got a Cigar shop about 20 min away. Plus, one of the benifits of not having an embargo on Cuba really helps!! Normally I’m into the #4’s but I thought I would splerge this time. On regular rotaion, I love a nicaraguan brand by the name of cuban leaf. Great flavoured cigar, great price!!. But back to the Toque Origianl. MMMMMMMMm. can’t keep it out of my nose!
I think that the nic delivery of snuff goes via different channels. More direct, more specific, to more particular areas of the brain perhaps. I agree that a snuff is much different than a smoke or a pris. This lift is much more noticeable if your already high off smoke. Hats off to snuff. One of the best uses of tobacco for all time.
Some scientists have speculated that nicotine absorbed through snuffing bypasses the blood-brain barrier and goes directly to the brain like snuffed cocaine and simple solutions are known to do.
It always has felt more brainy to me then other tobaccos. Or at least much faster to get to the brain.
I like an occasional cigar, a couple times a week I’ll have a cigarette, and some chewing tobacco every now and then, but none compares to some good snuff.
snuff is distincly the most pleaurable form of tobacco in my opinion. I use snus mainly for practical reasons like I can’t pinch a snuff as much as I would need to at work. Or if I’am painting I can’t snuff ever time I want some nic. I smoke the pipe because it’s really relaxing and is great for chilling. The cigars every once and a while I’ll like a good cigar.
The longer I use snuff, the more I want it and not pipe, cigars or dip.
