Well, here’s a question that I was wondering about. Is it possible to say that a certain snuff most likely has a higher or lower nicotine content, based on the type of tobacco, how light or dark the snuff is, how coarse or fine, how fermented or cured? What’s a rule of thumb for that? To me it feels like the darker, coarser snuffs are also stronger when it comes to the nicotine but I could be wrong so I wanted to put this up for discussion.

Hard to tell by color alone. Toasts and Scotch are light color and ultra fine flour; both are nicotine bombs as are the Indian Whites. Only the nose knows (maybe the brain if it’s still functioning after a snoot full of HDT first thing in the AM.)

@Kiwi: Nicotine concentration depends largely on the type of tobacco and on the individual batch (crop) of the type. Fermentation and curing can also influence (lower) the nicotine content. Jaap Bes.
