This video definitely belongs here:

This Moroccan guy is demonstrating how to make Maghrebian snuff (nefha). He uses 4 parts rustica, 1 part wood ash and a splash amount of water. Note similar basic tools used in different continents.

If they were operating in Poland, the Sanitary-Epidemiological Station would certainly take care of them right away.

I randomly discovered that in south africa snuff tobacco is called ‘nsunko’. I am not sure but by searching it on youtube i found some Ntsu videos.

Warning you may find the following video a bit cringy or disturbing but there is ntsu black and green invloved. lol

This is also cringe but more interesting as it shows some snuff making.

@ALLex wait a sec, did he just exhaled cloud of snuff? Got to get hang of this trick

V

Good one! Looks like a White Elephant “smoke”.

A

Another approach. Making ceremonial rapé for soul healing.

A compilation of extracts from five of Sam Hanna’s craft films, including a short footage about snuff making in one of the Kendal snuff mills (4:17–05:49): https://vimeo.com/107803539

This man, Sir Guy Wallace, is the Marlboro man of snuff-takers. At least he is for me. Rest in peace, sir! https://youtu.be/Vw\\_ZL6nKUtI

S

@BeavisMalverde If you like unusual ‘slice of life’ documentaries, I recommend The End of the Game which follows Sir Guy Wallace around. It’s very “The F**king Fulfords”-esque. :)  Snuff is certainly not the focus of the film, but it’s worth a watch if that sounds up your alley.

B

@SHbickel I’ll give it a look! Thanks for the recommend

Haha, I really enjoyed that video. Klaus Fumblehands there at 1:58 really cracked me up

V

@SHbickel, he did it! Other folks closer to the end of the footage were not brave enough and only took faux pinches. Missy Snuffbottle just smelled the aroma from the back of her hand, and Master Featherwipe didn’t even bother to uncap his flask:-)))

@ALLex not seen that, thanks. Love the lady, " you put it up your nose and it makes you sneeze, sounds like ludicrous behaviour" hehehe 

S

Nice find @allex

A

@Just_Browsing  @StudiodecolBleu  Thanks it was a totally random find! I guess that big tub of snuff was Wos Irish Toast 22 ? 

G

There is quite a lot on our facebook and instagram pages about the former snuff mill at Helsington in Kendal.

African Tribe snuff on a random youtube video and how they take it (hand palm method) at 14:42

A

China - Nepal border. Indian White snuff. Huge boxcars. Traditional snuff bottle.

Again that unique skilled technique of puffing a cloud of “Cheeta” out of mouth.

J

Really interesting, Allex! I should learn to “puff” fine grinded snuff instead of coughing it out as it sometimes happens .

A

@junipero “Smoking” some Indian White snuff. Yeah its a cool trick and it shows how familiar they are with the use of fine white snuff compared to us who take a tiny amount and cough and cry lol. Might be the outcome of hardcore snuffing big boxcars of only white snuff for years and years, its bizarre. It would be fun if we learn how to do this.
