I’m relatively new to snuff, but I have realized how important the environment it to getting the most from what one puts in their nose. I can take a ‘toot’ of Honest Scotch, for instance outside and get a pretty full scent/taste . If I do it inside my house, or if I walk inside after sniffing the snuff, much of the scent/taste disapears. Last Friday, I took a whiff of some Ozona Raspberry out on my back porch and fot the full menthol/fruit flavor. But then I can inside, in the air conditioning (I live in Florida) and realized that much of the raspberry disappeared and I was left with predominantly the menthol. I walked back outside and the full scent/flavor returned.
Same thing happens to me. I think the recycled air has something to do with it. I can do a pinch of anything inside and get an “ok” flavor, but if I walk outside, bam! it really hits.
I believe it is the humidity in the air that brings out the scents. That’s my best guess. Final answer!
The air outside is always in motion, thats the reason your olfactory nerves are getting more of the flavor.
magic obviously. As the outside has more juju.
@ bob - LOL!
This is from: “The old snuff house of Fribourg & Treyer at the sign of the Rasp & crown, no.34 St. James’s Haymarket, London, S.W., 1720, 1920” p.18 “Snuff was like claret; it needed the chill taken from it to bring out the bouquet. A member of the Firm, in the days of snuff, always kept his snuff-box under his pillow at night, so that the snuff might be in good order in the morning.”
