Wow, it’s like snuff christmas in my house today. Got my Toque order, my Mr. Snuff order and a package from another member from a trade. I don’t even know what to do with myself. Cafe 11, Dragun, Fine Border, etc. Whooooo. Been pinching out of my new Santo Domingo tin so far tonight.

Very cool I went to place a pretty big order yesterday at Mr. Snuff but realized it wasn’t allowing me to use my reward points. I have over $20 in them so I started reading and finally found that they are no longer doing the reward points anymore. I am waiting on an email from them before I place my order. The anticipation is killing me.
33 days waiting until now…
My order shipped a couple days ago, but I think I waited to long to place it. I am now down to crumbs for snuff and am starting to panic slightly :-S My order: 1 x FREE Klik Klak Sampler 1 x Abraxas Dragun 15g 1 x Dholakia White 25g 2 x Swisher Honey Bee 130g 1 x Wow Coffee Bite 10g 2 x Dholakia Ganga 50g 1 x Dholakia Kamal 50g 1 x Swedish Match Taxi Red 25g 1 x Viking Peach 25g 1 x Dholakia Aniseed 50g 1 x Temptation Purple Passion 10g
Don’t panic. Many storebought tobacco can be made into snuff in a pinch.
@Xander So I am basically out of snuff besides some 5g tins of SD that my buddy carries at his tobacco shop. I went by his shop and he gave me a pouch of Redman Loose Leaf Tobacco (chew). I dumped it all out onto a huge sheet of aluminum foil and separated it all opening up the leaves etc. It is now in the oven at the lowest setting and I have the door propped open slightly so that it can dry out. After it dries I will use my magic bullet to grind it up to the right snuff consistency and filter it through a fine mesh screen. Hope this project turns out well! Almost forgot, Redman smells and tastes AMAZING! A smell of sun dried cherries/raisins maybe figs with molasses/tobacco. The whole downstairs of my house smells great since its been drying out.
Here is a picture of the final outcome. It made a lot! Just tried it out and it is pretty good. Will take some time to see what I really think about it. Update after taking 4 fat boxcars over 30 min or so. It is very sweet, I smell sweet figs and also a dried cured tobacco smell. I got a very slight burn one of the times. Also I got some drips and the taste is very sweet.
So after using it more today I have to say, IT IS SWEET! It’s a bit overpowering. I would say it is definitely not an all day use snuff, it is just too rich. Almost like eating too much cheesecake. Common Mr Snuff order please get here soon!
I really like the taste of Red Man but I’ve never thought of making snuff with it. If it’s too sweet I bet it would be nice cut with some plain snuff.
It really came out perfect, fine and fluffy with just a tad of moisture. It is more of a once in a while snuff unless you really like SWEET overtones with fig and tobacco scent. My buddy came by last night and gave me a pouch of Beech Nut and Red Man Golden Blend which I have read has twice the nicotine so that should make an interesting snuff The Beech Nut doesn’t smell as sweet so maybe it will make a good snuff that isn’t too sweet.
@DICE there’s no such thing as too much cheesecake.
@Dice, I sure hope you got your snuff!!!
@PeteTschantz I did get it! Everything but the honeybee was in the shipment. The honeybee came a week or so later in a separate shipment. I was so burned out on the homemade Red Man Snuff. After doing it for awhile I came to the conclusion that the nicotine content was pretty low and also the smell of it got to where I just couldn’t stand it anymore. I did make a batch with the Red Man Golden Blend which has a more mellow smell to it and not as sweet, but the smell just got to where it almost turned my stomach. The reason I am rambling on about this is because when I finally got the honeybee I opened the can and took a big boxcar of it and couldn’t believe that it had a very similar smell as the Red Man! So my little Red Man experiment basically RUINED honeybee for me, I cant take any of it without smelling Red Man! Ahh Well.
