Being newer to this and seeing TAD often mentioned. It must be contagious. What are your signs, symptoms, collections and future plans?
I suffer from the similar but distinct STD - Snuff-Taking Disorder. It is a more severe form of TAD characterized by the acquisition of large quantities of snuff along with the compulsion to use every last pinch before ordering more. Symptoms include a persistent runny nose, dizziness, insomnia, and a dazed facial expression. We should really start a support group for those who fall on the TAD/STD spectrum.
@horus92 My dad was joking about how I need a support group for my tobacco hoarding. This is my support group for that. We support each other’s decision to stock up on tobacco.
Criusing the MRSNUFF site daily,sometimes multiple times per day compiling a shopping cart of new stuff to try as well as bulks of the things I have tried and cant live without.Cruising this site every time I get anywhere near a computer.Stopping in every smoke/tobacco shop I pass by to see if they have any snuffs. My collection has literally reached into the thousands of grams already and I havent even been at it for a year. Future plans would be to be able to say that I have tried every snuff presently available…Oh Yeah,I got it bad!
If you’ve tried one, then of course you want to try them all. And you’re favorites you dedicate jars to, sometimes you play your snuff music and talk to it. References of “my precious” may be muttered or shouted at random. Instead of seeing elephants and faces in the clouds, you may see tap boxes and spoons. That spare room or closet may become a shrine or stowaway for yer booty aaarrggghh! Your computer chair suddenly becomes your Captains chair as you sail through the threads in search of other buccaneers that can share in the treasures of the world and point you in the right direction when you’re seeking that perfect magical flour. Rambling, but that was fun. Happy snuffin’ all
So far … I’m doing OK! I have acquired a good assortment to play with, but have told myself to sit back, relax and sample through what I’ve got to see what my taste favours the most before I start placing more orders. Now whether I listen or not is another matter … 8-|
What about when snuff leaves your waking hours, and starts to find its way in to your dreams. My usually involves the ultimate find, at the ultimate store; sadly never a huge bag of cash.
When you are so into it…(like all of us) you could have TAD if you recommend to a friend who’s having a baby , names of snuff to name the kid…do you think I should change Queens best diapers yet? Is BABATON still sleeping? Or naming your new St. Bernard dog…Feinster or kownoer…or you want to build a house on a road already with the name “snuff box lane , pilot mountain North Carolina” … But have no idea where that is and certainly no business being there or doing that… But it gotta be tobacco country with a name like that…so you wanna live there and explore the history and antiquities… Oh the good snuff stuff & accessory finds in thrift stores in small towns :)) >:) 8-}
Meant to write build a house in the shape of a snuffbox…with a retracting roof like the lid… Than you know your nuts…
This month I will be going over 50kg in bulk snuff and I’ve got at least another 10-20kg I want to buy this year. I think then my TAD will subside.
When you cringe at opening one of your several humidors in the basement that can each hold a fifty pound bag of dog food… and looking over at the several coolers full of whole leaf tobacco, the ones under the several rows deep 40 foot wires of hanging curing tobacco. That kinda signals there may be a slight TAD problem at work here.

hahahahaha! I would give the “you gotta be kidding” look to any of of my friends suggest I name my child “Elmo”, or “Dr. Verey”, or “Toque”. or “FUBAR”. =)) “Anarkali”, however…would make a beautiful name for a girl.
I’d hate to be named ‘Swisher’, lol.
I don’t know many “squares” around railroad mills. I bruton’s of tea daily in my cup and my nose. Dholakia wanna do and be happy. Don’t cheeta card game and tidy up fubar you leave to brasil. Make sure you have that VD checked out on your way to Wilson’s, and drop some ganga off to Anarkali when you leave the windmill. Don’t forget Toque’s coke and some toast on the way back. @-)
Somehow reading threads here I feel sane, I know I am not but I also feel I am not alone. Tobacco is my drug of choice!
I find myself expressing the awesomeness of snuff to every cigarette smoker I meet, the most of them act like I’m crazy, … if they only knew. But still my quest goes on, to find and convert, oh yes…mmmmmwwwaaaaaaahahahaha. If I’m the one wearing the cape, then ya, that was me making the wwooooosh! noises. =))

Yep, that’s cos of the chemical they put in to cigs that makes them think setting fire to tobacco is a good idea…
When you think the best use of teleportation technology would be bypassing the week and a half it takes to get snuff from England to the Lone Star. Seriously, my impatience has lead to me ordering stuff in the preemptive hopes that I’ll receive it by the time I want it, which is now. I’ve made 9 orders this year from Mr. Snuff.
