I just got this from Mr. Snuff. I’d always wanted to try it & I just did. It’s great. It’s like FUBAR Grunt has a brother. This snuff really should be more well-known. It’s unfortunate that it had to come out as a gimmicky quit smoking brand because it takes away from what a wonderful plain snuff it is. Especially with Grunt on hiatus, I’d recommend it.
Any other lovers of this Q product?
I have ice Cool, Apricot, and Sandalwood. I LOVE the Ice Cool…it’s totally on my reorder list, especially if we can start getting it in 50g tubs. My complaint with Apricot is the same that I have with many other Apricot snuffs. I grew up with fresh Apricots, but the snuff has more of that dried Apricot scent to it. The Sandalwood is just WHABAM! HAVE SOME SANDALWOOD!!! it’s last for a long, long time. When i’m in the mood for it, it’s just wonderful. I will say I love the grind and moisture of the ones I’ve tried too; it doesn’t go where it isn’t supposed to, and it’s easy to clear out of my nose. It’s a damn fine product in my book.
1 brown hanky
It’s a helluva deal but I’d like to know about the “boxes” too.
I think its a good deal too. Ill have to grab one soon as my brother seems to like their apricot the best. And Im curious about the others.9 bullets, and 9 hankees… could be amazing. Ill have to look around for the quality of their bullets.
I do like their Natural or Smoker’s Blend. It is pretty much FUBAR Grunt’s little brother. Idk. I’m not much of a menthol fan, so I never even considered buying any of their other snuffs or the Quit Kit.
I just nabbed a box of 10 x 10g Ice Cool on my order. The 3 weeks I was without almost killed me. I hope they offer 50+ gram tubs in the future. I need an OscarWabbit style stash of it.
paging @mr.snuff for an answer to the “box” question please.
@harlequin He was unaware that they are even in stock. When you navigate to american snuffs/qsnuff/quitkit there are no products. However, if you go to bythebox/qsnuff/ there are several in stock. They may or may not be there, he did say that the “Snuff Boxes” are another name for “smashbox”, but as to whether or not they contained snuff he was unsure.
The next time I order I will order one. It may be a few weeks out.
oh okay, Thanks Johnny.
Hey guys,
the combos are a filled bullet with the plastic vials; another filled vial with it’s own screwtop lid and a brown hanky. The vials are about 5 or 6g. If it says 10g that’s a typo. I’ll check that in a mo’.
I am glad you guys like them. I was actually a big part in the testing of the flavors and I was a bit miffed that they weren’t more popular. I put it down to different strokes and all that. The sandalwood took the longest and is by far the most expensive to make. it has real sandalwood oil from Mysore which is expensive. I kept insisting they up the sandalwood. The result is a flavor that lasts forever as Dogwalla says.
Another point to note is the menthol in Ice Cool is actually distilled from mint leaves (ie real). Most menthol in just about everything is synthesized and 90% of the world’s synthesized menthol is made by one Japanese company (or so I was told).

I quite like the QWS products, the coffee and apricot being my favorites. The apricot is very lush and clean, moorish.
I ordered a full box of the Ice Cool. Anyone who hasn’t tried it is missing out. That stuff is a MUST have. It’s the menthol I use when I don’t feel like menthol if that makes any sense. It’s not like some snuffs that are menthol because that’s the gimmick or someone just said, “Hey, we should see what this grind is like if we jammed a bunch of menthol in it,” almost like an afterthought because they needed one in the lineup. It seems like it was designed from the ground-up to be a minty, cooling, wonderful snuff, and as part of it’s nature the menthol needs to be in there. Like it was born with it or something.
I’m a huge fan of QSnuff, and I honestly think it’s an under-mentioned line of snuff, with Ice Cool being the best of the 3 that I have tried (Apricot, Sandalwood, Ice Cool).
If any of you haven’t tried them because the brand is a newcomer, get over it and order a little tub. I don’t know what the other flavors are like, but I haven’t found a Mr. Snuff line of product that I haven’t enjoyed yet. Yes, even ‘Shot of Rum’ frequents my nose. Not counting the 225g of pot luck snuff, 300g of the 350g remainder of my order was something that Mr. Snuff produces. I know everyone has different tastes, but you at least have to give it a whirl.
Its the snuff I give to people that want to try. Its very user friendly. My interest in the box is that it seems like a hell of a deal. It did state 10g refills. But Im just not sure what the 2 of each snuffboxes are.
Is the smokers blend and natural identical? In the quit kit its called one thing, on the companies product listing its called another if that is the case.
I like the Sandalwood and the Ice Cool, the Irish Coffee is surprisingly good too.
I think it’s the packaging and the name frankly. They don’t jump out at you like the other brands do. Fubar jumps out though. You see that say wtf (why that is funk). I’ve only tried the sandalwood which is amazing and I should keep ordering it but it slips my mind everytime. I think something about the quit line also implies newbie snuff which in tobacco newbie isn’t a good thing, makes me think cherry pipe tobacco from a drug store.
My quit kit came.
It has 9 combo boxes, each has a 5g bullet, and a 5g refill and a neat little brown hanky.
It has 6 10g tubs of the snuff therein.
So:
====150 grams (Bullets/tubs/refills)
_____9 acrylic bullets
--------9 handkerchiefs.
Mr.Snuff has 7 more of them.
I didn’t notice the QSnuff bullets were 5g. That solves a lot of problems for taking snuff with me.
Are you pleased with the mechanics of the bullets? Pretty standard?
As it is plastic, you can open the bowl up and the air inlet if you want. Im going to expand the bowls on mine for sure. I unscrewed the bottom, it will be narrow and a bit of a pain to fill, but it can certainly be done.
You can really tell that there is a huge volume difference between it and other metal or acrylic bullets. also a side bonus, the bottom screws off as a container and fills from the top instead of the bottom, this is made of a soft plastic which I would think would make it more durable than harder acrylic bullets, especially if you like to tap them like I do.
I also got 10g of Sandalwood and Irish Coffee…
They are good. The sandalwood is very calming. The coffee actually smells like brewed coffee. I tried some coffee snuffs that were more like added instant coffee granules ground up.
