Ah dawd, Bruton is delicious, I put a bunch in my lip and my nose (I stuff the bruton don’t even try to sniff it any more) and it smells seriously like a grandpa-y Christmas tree. I notice the fresh pine-y scent more with the bigger 2.75 oz cans, I think they’re more fresh than the 28 g can.
Interesting read, Xander! I especially like the historical events and tid bits at the end of the article. Not looking to purchase any mills, yet…haha. I was just curious if the structure has been held in the manufacturer’s name all these years. The one redeaming quality, I’m sure the mill was built to last.
Bart - yeas, I don’t want to bad mouf any snuff but honestly I dis-recommend Railroad Mills. it looks and feels like its mixed with maltodextrin (quite a few swisher snuffs are but I’m really not sure about this one), and the smell is a cheap cigar cigarette smell. If you want a light cigar smelling snuff I’m sure there’s a much better one to get. And the nicotine content actually dadnt impress my guy. (I still use the rr mills as dip. I added a few full teaspoons of baking soda to my 4 oz can and its an effective gum spread)
I use railroad mills sweet in a lot of blending experiments because of its light sweet but bland nature. Bruton is a snuff that is going to be a every once in a while snuff and not because of strength but when I did it, I couldn’t get rid of the sour taste in my mouth regardless of what other snuffs I did. A brush your teeth and gargle afterwards snuff. The only snuff that has had that effect (so far)
OK Now I know how you use Bruton. You need to have a chaser snuff to go with it. Worked well for me today
