I was taking stock of my snuffs etc. and realized I have a real snuff acquisition OCD. I have enough snuff and pipe tobacco to last two years. At my age that’s silly I might not live two years, but I still am dying to place another order of each.
Hello, my name is Whalen, and I am a snuffaholic. See you at the meeting, might be a good idea to bring a chair, could get crowded in here!
Among pipe smokers that affliction is commonly and affectionately referred to as TAD (tobacco acquisition disorder). 
Welcome to the club.
I call it TAD. Thanks for that.
Ditto on that you guys. I think about snuff a lot and which to order next. I had a dream that was based I guess on a Twilight Zone episode. The one where the guy likes to read and people mess with him. The bomb drops and he is the only one alive. He was in a vault I guess.He finds a library in the rubble and is happy as hell he can now read any time he wants. He bends over to get a book. His glasses fall off and shatter. The poor bastard couldn’t read with out them. My dream was like that but it was a snuff distributor’s wharehouse I found my way to. I bent over to get some snuff and my nose fell off. HA HA. No it’s not that bad yet.
I’m a suffer of TAD too, I have at least a 5 year supply of pipe tobacco and I am still getting more, not to mention the snuff.
I cured myself of TAD, and now have condensed my collection to a small but full of favorites 2 cigar boxes, not even full. MY main problem these days is DVDAD, DVD aquisition disorder.
Tom has taught us something. OCD is not curable, but you can switch the object of your compulsion from one thing to another.
Now I understand why I started snuffing after getting a steady girlfriend. Kidding of course or maybe not. I guess if I find the one snuff I’ll have to start collecting something else.
I got up to about 50 tins and called it good from there. There are still several snuffs I want to try, but I’ve got plenty to keep me busy for now…
I have enough to last me my lifetime, I really do believe, and I don’t have that many, just 2 cigar boxes worth.
I don’t have a lot of variety. Maybe twenty different. I buy representative types and brand based on positive reviews. I find something I like and want to lay in a prudent supply. I’ve got a couple of keys cached but I just want to sure. Trouble is I continue to find stuff I like and get more and more . I’m learning I lean toward high nicotine planer snuffs but then again I really enjoy the olfacatory psychedelia of a 5 Photo Himalaya or the like. I like subdued SPs and florals. I know I could “cut” some of the better ones with something nuetral but I like to keep my snuffs unmolested as it were. It’s all good I guess.
I am currently working on a 30 year store up! as I live in the states and Snuff is getting harder to get. So I look at my OCD/TAD issue more survival than anything! LOL
I’m pretty bad about this too. I will actually lay in bed sometimes and think about what my next order will consist of…sad.
My problem is that I walk into my den and take stock of all the snuff every where and go “Jebsus”! I solved that problem by hiding some in a drawer, problem solved! I have 46 varieties (at the moment) within reach while at the computer, ohhh, Rose! Hello Love, come to daddy! Whose your daddy!!! So which is it? A self indulgent snuff obsession? Or should I just sit here quietly and devote myself to scripture and a better awareness of proper posture while seated? Ohhh! Mild Lemon, Fancy a go?
I believe scripture devotion and proper posture are quite compatible with snuffing, although one may lose some of the compulsive tendencies being a believer.
Amen!
I’m down to abourt 140 differents snuffs at present but I’m waiting for some orders to arrive still. I would like to cut my collection down considerably, maybe 60 snuffs or so.
