Good stuff. Always glad to help someone!

@SnuffH3ad Oh… that’s an elephant! At first I thought that it was a poor quality freehand drawing of the state of Vermont!

@howdydave I thought it was Africa…

I have been snuffing for a few days now. Navy Scotch, G&H Lakeland, Ambassador, M4X, and a few other of the latter brand. Problem is I get super dehydrated! To the point where my sinuses shut and I’m screwed until about noon the next day. I bought a humidifier, increased my fluid intake, but still no dice. I snuff about 12-15 times a day and the fall weather had lowered the RH here in New England. Has this happened to anyone? I have scoured the forum and can’t find anyone with this issue. Does anyone ever get clogged from being dry? And could it be that I need a more moist snuff? The G&H are tap boxes and I suspect they are dry from shipping.

I find a coarse ground snuff, like Musinotabac, Maccoboy, the Sir Walter Scott and Abraxas offerings, etc. make my nose run like crazy.

Maybe I should try that. I have no snot or anything, just dry dry dry.

also, menthol causes some mucus membrane swelling, clogging people up for a while…

That might be it. The M4X is crazy menthol, I go into a sneezing fit like never before when I try it. The Lakeland seems to be the kindest to me as of now.

I dont get clogged up by menthol.

Try Poschl’s Ozona President.

I actually have some on order Dave. I think I have this figured out. A combination of the low Rh here, doing way to much, having dried out snuff, and taking it to far into my sinuses. Thanks guys!

I need some suggestions on my next snuff order. Most of what I have stuffs me up, all the G&H tap boxes, anything with menthol and some Torque Lavender. That’s about 12 tins that I can’t use out of 15 I have. 6 Photo Special is very kind to me, Fubar Snafu, Navy Scotch, and 6 Photo #6 fall in that order of what I can use. What are some that I should try based on this?

Well, the rest of the Fubar line, Square scotch, Kailash maybe, White Elephant. Hard to say, given our noses are different, but that’s a lot of problem snuffs.

What about Viking Brown? Is that mentholated?

@sonarman have you tried wetting your fingers and snuffing the water off them? .

No, but I will!

Hi all, just wondering if someone would be able to give a beginner a bit of advice. I’ve made a few orders and recently one from MrSnuff (which came to England a lot faster than I thought) and have really (mostly) enjoyed trying all sorts of snuffs. Not been a huge fan of the menthol as it tends to irritate my skin a bit (although had a cold at the time - mental note, try again) tried FUBAR medic & Singleton’s Super. Really enjoying Toque vanilla, FUBAR Black Joe and Shot of Rum. I’m looking for something similar that I will like or completely different that you would recommend me trying. TL;DR My question is as there is such a vast array of snuffs on there could I get a few recommendations for what to order next? I’m just struggling to choose. Thanks in advance, Gew
