I am looking for a very plain, little or no flavor, snuff to mix with some American scotches. The one requirement would be some moisture and a medium to medium fine grind. I am currently mixing Rockit Naked with Standard Scotch and it is just OK. I can snuff the scotches fine at home, but when I am walking down the street or on the golf course they usually wind up either in the wind or down in my lungs. By making them more moist and a little more substantial I am hoping to make them easier to use under non-optimal conditions while still retaining the scotch flavors. Any thoughts?
Toque Natural
@Snifs Thank you, after reading the reviews Toque Natural looks like what I am looking for.
Madras could possibly be the plainest Snuff on the planet. Good natural Tobacco flavour. Toque Natural is another excellent choice.
The Madras I got from tom502 has quite a bit of spice to it. Why not try Gawith Hoggarth Plain?
@Xander Hmm. Quite a good burn, but noticed no spice.
I’m pretty sure its cardamom. Anybody else detect it?
@ Avidreamer: Thanks, I’m glad you like it! I might try to mix in some Natural myself now.
I got some of that from Tom502 also. I think it smells like a veterinarian’s office. It’s the nicest of the Indian ones, for me anyhow. (odd combination of sentences, I know). maybe I’m just sensitive to this type of tobacco
I use Ntsu to moisten and make the US scotches more managable. Because Ntsu is a plain snuff, it blends in well with the scotches without changing the flavour. And, of course, it enhances the nicotine kick. I use it every day.
Adding to what Pieter wrote, if you are looking for a coarse and moist snuff, try Taxi Red or Blue.
I agree with Xander, Gawith Hoggarth Plain is the plainest snuff I have come across. The only problem is the only store I have found that sells it is My Smoking Shop, and if you live in the USA you can’t buy snuff from them.
Gawith Hoggarth @ Snuff.me.ukJust use the drop down menu.
what about that Kendal place Chirs found a few days ago? They have a lot of GH bulk.
I’m not sure if they ship to the US. Worth a try, though. Also, Jay might be able to special order bulk GH snuff. Snuff.me.uk is a very helpful resource.
There has to be a workaround on the MSS issue. I want to try when I have some funds. I want to get some of the Frederick Tranter snuff too, same issue there.
Leman and Xander, according to MSS’ website, they now ship worldwide. EDIT: Nevermind. I saw the credit card thing at the bottom.
Xander wrote: “I want to get some of the Frederick Tranter snuff too, same issue there.” Man I have been dying to try their plain toast. I wonder if there would be a way for one of the stores that does ship to the US to carry some of their blends?
McChrystal’s S’nuff is quite plain, medium grind, a little dry with a high nic content.
Dholakia Sparrow is good too.
