Since I am still a relativly new snuffer(2 months)I still get to ask dumb questions so here it is. Why do some lesser flavors(and more potent flavors)seem to come more alive when outside? I am under the impression that the cold,clean Michigan air has something to do with it. I do notice a big difference between outside and inside…any thoughts? The Wiz!

Probably air circulation. When you are outside, you have fresh air blowing everywhere, and inside, it’s just stale non blowing air.

Good morning Wiz I’d seen those references as well. Hadn’t given it much thought until yesterday when I tried the Poschl Gawith Apricot. All I got was menthol, disappointing. 'bout 15 minutes later I went outside and low and behold, apricot! PFM I think

@ Wiz: don’t worry, we’ve all been newbies and all noticed the same thing at some stage. I Tom is right, it’s the fresh air circulating freely that stimulates the scent. I find it most noticeable with menthols, but it works with pretty much any flavour.

To get the complete kick try it in a shopping mall in the winter season. 3 pinches are just enough and then, after about an hour go outside. It´s a flavour explosion. Humidity plays a big part.

@Red Star I would agree the humidity plays as much of a part as the wind circulation. I noticed this with Tube Rose, it was really neat the first time and now i just expect it, the smaller things about snuff and sometimes the best.

This phenomenon is great. I think it’s a matter of conditioning like when you go into a foul smelling place and after a while you don’t notice the smell anymore. Change the environment and you change the way you interpret the snuff. Sometimes I use snuff for this purpose alone. In fact, I’m going to do that in a little while. Thanks!

@the wiz Yea i notice this too, sometimes i’ll take a great big snuff and just stick my head out the door for a min or two. My wife laughs at me and thinks im crazy! but it really intenses the smell of the snuff by a million. lol One pretty cool days we will open all the windows in the house and i get the same effect your talking about. So try it, open a few windows to get to air circulating and Im sure it will work for you too oh yea another little trick is after a couple of mins when the snuff seems to be wearing off give the old nose a good rub and squeeze it together and BAMM a rebirth! lol

@thehookster…Just stuck my nose out the door…It’s crisp and 35 degrees outside.What a difference!! The Wiz!

I escpecially enjoy going for walks on humid nights after snuffing. I didn’t really get the full appreciation for some of the more earthy snuffs like Kendall Brown and such until I stepped outside. Try loading up on some McChrystals Clove and stepping into a crowded elevator. You’ll get a lot of looks and notice people sniffing the air.

@spyro lol yea once I was at work and someone walked up to the driver side window of the truck I was in and said, Mann it smells minty in there! What kind of air freshener you have i like it? lol -that day I was snuffing McC supermint lol And sometimes people ask if I have been using a vicks inhaler or some ben gay or icey hot rub? lol “no its just McC O&G or poschl red bull” i reply. Then I usually try to get them to have a pinch.

@thehookster, yeah I was surprised the first time that happened to me. I think I was using Red Bull at a job once and someone across the room asked where the smell was coming from. Snuff could really liven up an Eskimo greeting I suppose.

I like to take a big toot of the strong stuff right before I clean up the dog papers in the laundry room. Makes for a much more pleasant experience.

i love taking a snuff and walking out into the cold outside air. smells fantastic.

I can vouch that good Michigan air is ripe for the snuffing!
