Other uses for snuff

U

Had to ask coz you never know… I am about to throw out a couple of packs of snuff which really don’t do it for me, but before I do…Does anyone know of any other uses for snuff apart from putting it up your nose? Cheers. Ubert

D

As a matter of fact I do! Send it to me.

You can try your hand at experimenting. You can turn them into something “New & Exciting” (or make a mess & toss them in the trash)

A

There was a member on here a few years ago who made some ‘snuff hamburgers’, well that’s what he called them. They were compacted pellets about the size of a tictac, not too bad actually. I suppose it was just the same idea as stonewall type products, but I like my snuff in powder form.

L

what i did: 1)put it in a soft paper like teabag… Fold the paper. Use itlike snus if the burning effect is high enough. 2) add some scent like cinnamon, clove, cacao etc and use it as snuff. 3) mix it with your other snuffs if it is not dominant scent.

P

Tobacco dust is frequently used as an insecticide for gardening. Don’t use it on tobacco, or tomatos or peppers (or any other nightshades), as commercial tobacco may have Tobacco Mosaic virus which can be transferred to your plants.

U

Thanks for the comments guys…I think new and exciting is the way forward - maybe mix with a little water to form a kind of clay - mould it into a turd shape, let it dry and put it on the bonnet of the car of the guy who keeps stealing my parking place…

M

I wiped out a carpenter ant infestation in my firewood with some sweet American scotch snuff that I couldn’t abide with, can’t remember the brand for sure, maybe Dental.

N

Snuff can be used as pepper spray, just throw a handful of snuff in someones face and watch them drop with Niagara Falls pouring out their eyes >:)

U

Yeah! Snuff turd on the car bonnet that’ll teach him! Stealing my parking space who does he think he is? [-X

M

woman repellent?

E

@Mike_B - no, that doesn’t seem to work, at least not around here. In fact a sign that the individual may be interested is when she asks for a pinch of your snuff

M

@ermtony: yes, I live with a saintly woman who tolerates my snuffing and snusing myself (though she will avoid me if she smells one of the more perfumed snuffs emanating from my substantial beak).

U

You know what? Forget the snuff turd, maybe I’ll just empty the whole lot all over his windscreen…damn that Ferrari!!

M

Don’t forget to use a mist bottle first lol

U

I like your style man…time I taught that ferrari freak brother a lesson! Where’s my mist bottle!

@Ubert I was going to say what @puffpuff said only he beat me to it. I keep a jar of junk snuff for this purpose. Get a spray pump bottle and mix about 2-3 teaspoons of snuff to about a quart of water. Stir into it a couple of drops of liquid dish soap. Spray on plants that have infestations. I’ve made quick work of aphids, scale, mealybugs etc. this way.

U

Xander, thanks for the tip. My only worry is I am pretty sure bees can get sick from nicotine too. There has been a big problem with nicotinoid pesticides over here and in some places some varieties have been banned for that reason. I am a beekeeper so quite conscious of this kind of stuff, there are a few colonies of bees not far from my place so I’ll reserve this recipe for the ants around my front door hopefully it’ll keep em out of the house.

B

Snuff for bug bites. Toast in warm oven, spray with liquid smoke, use

X

@Ubert thanks I will have to read up on that more. I am a friend to bees. I’m always careful with this treatment not to spray flowers and with potted plants they always take a trip to the shower after their treatment.

P

Fine snuffs are great for lifting finger prints.

U

@distaind you know what? I reckon your reponse to this thread was by far the best, so send me your address and I’ll put this snuff in the post; one is Lowen Prise - the other is Fichtennadel (Pine Needle) and just as a good will gesture I’ll throw in one of my favourites which is a relatively new locally made snuff.

M

Your a good person @Ubert I doubt that anyone would actually destroy someone else’s property but it is fun to imagine (stress relief)

U

@MattheFox , cheers…nah I wouldn’t waste snuff like that even if I didn’t like it; always better to recycle

U

@disdaind I have just bought three more varieties - Rockies Green Apple, Apricot and Vanilla of which, the only one I will be keeping is the vanilla. The green apple smells like shoe leather to me and the apricot pales into insignificance compared to Gawith’s apricot, so I will toss those into the envelope too if you wanna give em a try.

I know this is late, but incase no one mentioned it. My grandparents swear by tobacco for treating bee stings and the like. Wet the area and put it on. Works best with American scotch snuff I’m sure, lol.

H

My parents as well. They would mix cigarette tobacco with vinegar. Dip works just as well though. I have had to pull a wad out of my mouth more than once to use on either my kids or my own wasp stings.

please tell me i can use it for bike saddle syndrome… it hurts so much, borrowed my friends bike for literally half an hour and i swear his seat is actually just a brick.

fill your pepper shaker with bohica and use it on your next bowl of chili. or morning eggs, deviled eggs, or other foods you like to spice up

The blue Gold Bond powder right after a shower usually does the trick. It is actually a remedy for most things; when you apply it, suddenly all those problems seem to be a lot less important. - Red Bull in your nose, Gold Bond on your bawls. Mighty fine way to start the day.

B

can you use menthol snuff to make mentholated cig tobacco?

O

I’ve used tobacco as a watercolor pigment.
