I regularly read about requests by beginners who would like to get some proposals, which snuff they should start with. And I definitely can remember the time I began to snuff. The amount of offers by local stores was poor and the amount of offers online was absolutely confusing. What do you guys think about setting up a guide for beginners. I thought about something similar to a wine guide. We could recommend snuffs according to some categories like mentholated, scented and pure. Anyone willing to help me?
Good to see you like the idea. Lets try to work it out. I anybody else wants to join, feel free to do so. Of course, if someone is interested in snuff as a stop-smoking aid, my suggestions would be different. Well, I would not recommend taking snuff as a substitute for smoking. I am more into pleasure, than fighting addiction. I understand your point anyway. Let me do a rough sketch: [color=#FFFFCC] 1. Step: Get to know the basics [quote] To get to know what snuff is about, we recommend slightly flavoured or unflavoured types. The basis of a snuff is the tobacco used.

Step: Try some flavours [quote] If you think your nose is ready for some experiments, you may enter the world of flavourings. They come in very different types, so that you need to find your favourite taste.

Step: Extraordinary ones [quote] This category includes snuffs from both ends: high quality snuffs and weird ones. Snuffs: [/quote][/color] Everybody: Please feel free to criticise, change or add as much as you want to. This is just a sketch and I am happy about any contributions.
Does anybody wants to add his favourite snuff here? Or maybe a snuff on this list shouldn’t be recommended? I want to make this a PDF with some additional information.

Thanks for all the comments! The McChrystal’s O&G is on the list already. The others will be considered. All right than. I think we should start with the categories and move to the snuffs after that. What about: [color=#FFFFCC] Unflavoured and slightly flavoured types Fine and Dry Fine and Moist Coarse and Dry Coarse and Moist Flavoured types Fine and Dry Fine and Moist Coarse and Dry Coarse and Moist [/color] Alternatively, we could start collecting the snuffs and try to categorise them afterwards.

I personally don’t care about nicotine, but a lot of people do. So, we should add it, you’re right. I would say we should collect the snuffs first and see which categories are needed.

In my opinion this would go one step further. What I thought about was a document to store it local or to it print out. A short overview of snuffs which a beginner might want to try. Your proposal is something I originally thought about. I guess it would end up in a database containing all these things. Interesting, but also quite a lot of work for which I don’t got the time, at the moment. In the long run, I would love to integrate such snuff cards.

Actually, we can do so in the category snuff types. This would be very similar to the reviews, right? Still, I also would like to give an overview.
Here is a first sketch of what I thought of. Any comments (including correcting my English) are welcome! Edit: The Snuff Beginners Guide can be found at the FAQs.

Hi Mo, thanks for the feedback. I removed the double description (not online yet). I will also move the shops to the end with some notes on which of the mentioned snuff they carry. I thought a description of the ‘how to use snuff’ might be too much. But I could include some pictures and the four points you mentioned. So far, Alex

True! I will also add this to the guide. Making a choice isn’t always easy, you’re right. 
Thanks for the hint.
Updated. (see this comment)

A real life test would be great. I uploaded the revised version (Setting up a Beginner’s Guide? # 18). Thank you, Mo.
