McChrystal’s S’nuff would be a good one to get bulk. It’s pretty plain SP and has a good amount of nicotine. When you get it in bulk, it’s a bit more moist than you’ll ever see in the little tins of it. I recently tried a tiny tin of 6 photo natural and it’s really not to my liking! If you really want an “Indian” flavored snuff, check it out first. If you want an Indian SP snuff in bulk, FUBAR is a really good choice.

Thanks for that - for clarification to other readers, I have received confirmation from Wilson’s, first hand, that Queens and Tom Buck are, indeed, the exact same product, both preserving historic names under which it was sold (the differing circumstances probably self-explanatory).
As to differences I have observed - probably not more than differences between a new tin and a tin opened for a while, or the minutest batch variations that must occur, even in the most prestigious of production processes!
@Slide Thanks for clarifying that. Yes, I’m looking for just natural snuffs. It’s not that those don’t all sound wonderful, it’s just that I want something plain that I won’t grow tired of or just want every now and then. Maybe those wouldn’t be like that, but since I rarely am able to make online purchases, I wanted to get something that will be a daily snuff. And while you are all very informative, I have yet to hear anything about who might have the best natural snuff, or the best value in grams per dollar for their natural snuff, etc…
If I had to narrow it down to 1 plain snuff it would probably be Toque Quit. Comes to a little over 14 cents a gram delivered to the USA in 400 gram bags. Any Toque 400 gram bag would be the same. Other naturals in the Toque line would be “Natural” and Natural Toast.
The advantage to Quit is that it has a little higher nicotine content. Also you could add other snuffs to give it a slight flavor if you wanted or essential oils.
As you are coming at it from American Scotches Quit will not be a difficult snuff for you. Some people that prefer a little more coarse grind feel Quit is a beast.
6 Photo Natural is an oiled snuff with a slight scent. And with the price Mr Snuff sells it far it is the best value per gram. As an example a 200 g bag of Toque is $14.00 more.
That said I would still go with Quit.
I recommend the quit, but not 5 pounds. You will probably want a few to mix it up a bit. I really like both the Queens and McCrystals S’nuff though they do not fit your definition of plain.
And I have to point out that bulk will remain very fresh for a long long time.
My go to bulks, in order of preference:
Original batch Fubar Grunt, and it is plain as can be, just no longer replicated, bummer.
Queens Extra strong, I have two pounds and they were out of bulk Tom Buck back then, and yes they are the same.
Whiskey and Honey, anything but plain, and proud of it.
Mcrystals S’nuff, Wow! that’s an SP!
And a whole bunch more, but the only one that is plain is the Grunt.
It is all about the variety really, then just bulk up on the classics that you find beguiling. But first bulk would be quit, that was good advice.
