Well here i m snuffing gletscher prise and wow you know what i love it ??? i have read a lot here and i know a lot of you here hate poschls and find them clogging or lacking nicotine but im enjoying it very much … how many of you actually use poschls snuff as an every day snuff here and whuch one ???
Gawith Apricot is a beautiful snuff from Poschl. I use Apricot every day, and I’m not averse to a pinch of President either. Poschl snuffs get a bad rap occasionally, and the tapboxes are fairly infuriating things, but the product is, by and large, excellent IMHO.
lowenprise is probably my favorite one menthol and eucalyptus or something rather tasty
I use Ozona Raspberry everyday
I find them oily yes but sometimes that’s nice, ESP on a cold day or when your nose has dried out or you have a cold. As for nicotine well I have no idea how much is in them but I find the simple answer is if it feels like low nicotine then well simply take tons of the stuff … and most importantly enjoy !
I’ve been using Gletcher Prise for almost 3 years. It’s been a more or less constant thing, but I have deviated to try out a bunch of Toque flavors, F&T, Kendal, etc. Somehow I always seem to end back up in the company of the snuff that got me started.
I don’t hate poschls, Poschls hates me and my nose.
whoa, @slartie where have you been? Your face looks like Snuffster’s now! @jpsks its licorice and menthol actually. I think Oz President is the one with Eucalyptus @bob, yeah well the feeling is mutual
@Xander I’ve been busy, that’s what I’ve been away from community sites for almost 2 years or something like that. Work has helped make sure I get absolutely no spare time. Snuffster must’ve copied me, or we simply both have used PhotoBooth on the Mac at some point
I’ve been snuffing for only 6 days but I’m enjoying every single pinch. I had a box of Poschl’s “Gawith Apricot Snuff” for 3 days, and I got today a box of “Gletscher Prise” and a “Lowen-Prise” box today. Gletscher Prise is quite enjoyable but because of the Columbia oil, I associate it with something medicinal or medicated. I really like it just not as much as the next one, the Lowen-Prise. Just as my other two boxes are menthol + a flavor, this one is light eucalyptus + what seems to me as natural tobacco. Locally, I could only find menthol blends of snuff but I would love to get some natural snuff tobacco with it’s natural qualities. As much as I like Lowen Prise, the box is a disaster, I almost spilled it all on the street due to the fact that it’s made out of two pieces which aren’t that well held together and It’s horrible. I will have to take care with this one and don’t spill it or waste it because I like it a lot. I’ve been sniffing the Gawith Apricot Snuff for 3 days and I couldn’t feel the Apricot that much, maybe because of getting used only to that one so I’ll put that aside a bit while I’ll enjoy the other two. I’d really like to get some more brands, especially non menthol, just it’s a shame that locally these things are like dark matter to the shopkeepers…
Poeschl medicated snuffs are grand, I’d buy them if available locally but don’t bother to order them online, sticking to factory sales i.e. Toque and Wilsons of Sharrow atm. Especially Loewen-Prise is really flavoursome!
Personally…I have always really enjoyed the Poeschl line particularly as change of pace or “transition” snuffs between two non-menthol varieties. I find the menthol in many to be “just right” and when fresh their fruit scented snuffs are very refreshing. They can be a bit “cloying” or “artificial” at times but still very pleasant. The nicotine level I would say is moderate on most though I agree with what was stated above…just take another pinch if you’d like a bigger kick. I also personally like the “tap boxes” or the small circular Ozona dispensers when I’m on the go. I simply tap out a portion onto my hand and pinch it. I enjoy Gawith Apricot, Packards Club, and several of the Ozona’s particularly the Raspberry and Orange. GP is also very refreshing in the morning as a “wake up” pinch. Also these are all very easy to take and are what I consider “low maintenance” snuffs.
I love Poschl snuff of all types. My only real problem is that I can’t buy them in bulk, and they tend to be on the pricey side because of that. Even the Gletcher Prise 25 gram refill only saves me about 28 cents US as apposed to just buying it by the tap box. As a smoker, I never buy cigarettes by the pack - always by the carton. I feel the same way about snuff. If I like it, I always buy bulk. Other than that, Packard would be be my ‘go to’ menthol, followed by President. But with my current income, they have to be just a treat rather than an everyday.
It has to be said, Poschls are the easiest-to-take snuffs I know of. Gawith Apricot in particular, it goes down (or should I say up!) So easily, no burn, no drip, just lovely refined snuff. It’s my absolute favourite bedtime snuff, extremely relaxing and delicious.
@Jinder I couldn’t disagree more. :-/
@xander I think there’s a huge variation in how different people’s noses react to different snuffs, wouldn’t you say? I find it really interesting. For example, I can take huge pinches of Best Dark all day long, but others have said they find it’s clogging and doesn’t work for them at all. J&H Wilson’s SP No1 gives me unbearable nose burn, but I’ve never read of anyone else having a similar experience with it…I think it’s great that so many snuffs exist in order for people to find what suits them best. My experience with Poschls has been excellent, a little drip with President but no negative effects with GA at all, it feels like Apricot icecream for the nose, to me. Different strokes for different folks…if we all liked the same snuff we’d have nothing to talk about here, so vive le difference, I say!
Yep agree with @jinder, I find it interesting also how 99% can take … But 1 % can’t and vise Versa due to clogging or sinus problems or reactions .
I’m with @Xander for this. The oil in Poschls clogs me up no end. If you want a real flavoursome snuff go for Camphor & Mild, it’s an all day snuff with a beautiful flavour, you could do 10g a day and not get fed up with it. Stefan
Gawith Apricot and Ozona President are everyday snuffs for me. I also really like Lowen Prise, Gletscher Prise and Ozona Raspberry, which have also already been mentioned. Also, of course, Red Bull, which hasn’t been mentioned yet in this thread. It’s much stronger than the other Poschls - it even says “strong snuff” on the box! The texture is a bit different to most other Poschls, a bit finer and drier than usual… and it has a much stronger menthol blast. It’s kind of comparable to Hedges L260 in that respect. It also has a strong ‘other’ taste, a sort of eucalyptus zing. Their non-tobacco white snuff Ozona Snuffy Weiss is quite pleasant too… very minty, like crushed Tic-Tacs.
hell-yeah for Pöschl´s snuff !!! i felt like to comment in this post since i didnt saw it before. i am a Pöschl fan myself and NO it´s not connected to the fact that i am german as much as you may thing. i just really enjoy many of their snuffs and like @Jinder put it, we are all diffrent and it is very nice to know that i am not the only one in here (besides @Sloth) who openly advocates Pöschl snuffs. (o.o)/
