In light of the recent St Georges’s Day Celebrations, understated as they may have been, I’m left to ponder: i… is there a patron saint of snuffers? ii… if not, why not? iii… who would be a suitable candidate? iv… might we not instigate a day in his/her honour?
I nominate Saint Roderick of Tiptoe Farmhouse
I have to said David AKA Mr Snuff for having largest selection Snuffs that ships World Wide; And the current owner of Snuffhouse.org. For those of us outside the UK our choices would be limited.
Roderick and David are excellent choices We could also add Jaap and Manit to the list Hummm…it seems we are beginning to acquire a Parthenon of sorts
there is an indian snuff saint as far as I remember…
Snuff version of Christ the Redeemer Monument?

That would be Manit 
I’d nominate chefdaniel but by his own admission he’s no saint.
The qualifications for Snuff Saint are much lower…I say add him to the mix
Good, I can see how being no saint might just qualify him for the exalted position
chefdaniel Can’t be a saint he is already a snuff god. He is the creator of excellent snuff and already has many worshipers.
All hail the mighty @chefdaniel, God of euphoric nose sensations!
@Michael Hey you were right!..so what in the world were you searching when you found that 
@Snifs I obsess over 6 Photo (Kailash) and spent hours on the web, searching for anything related to it when my first Kailash container was used up :)) . I found the picture here: http://www.indiamart.com/sixphoto-snuff/aboutus.html
Well, snuff itself still seems to lack a patron saint. But there’s Saint Maximillian Mary Kolbe (d. 1941 in a Nazi death camp) who is the patron of addicts. If that doesn’t fit, Saint Mary Magdalene is the patron of perfumers; and Saint Lawrence of Rome is patron of cooks and chefs - so one might pray through both. Lastly, Nuestra Señora de las Nieves -see Google - is the (unofficial) patron saint of tobacco growers. Our Lady saved a few villages of Cuban tobacco farmers from falling prices in the 1940s and has been venerated locally ever since, although the cult is not recognised by the Vatican. Another possibility is to send snuff to saintly people and hope for the best. Or to become a saint yourself, and work miracles that give you a chance to put in a good word for snuff. A third opportunity (frowned upon but popular in byegone days) is to fake one. In recent decades the Vatican has de-listed former saints lacking evidence, but are too busy to winkle out every example. So, theoretically, Saint Treyer of Fribourg was a professor of theology at the famous German university in the early 1400s, when he beheld a vision of an Italian in a boat who returned stuffing large leaves up his nose, until a choir of angels told him to try powdering it first. It was only several centuries later that Northern Europe was exposed to tobacco and St Treyer’s cult became more popular and widely known. One reason for the duration of the Council of Trent (1545-1563) was supposedly clergymen taking breaks and going home to refill their snuff boxes, which in those days were made from castoff clerical slippers. But I discourage this exercise.
@Mouse Thank you for your consideration, but I will have to pass. My duties as Patron Saint of Reprobates keeps me quite busy.

So you’re the one I’ve been needing to talk to :))
