I’m new to snuff but very much enjoy it. I’d like to purchase a variety of accessories like case, bullet, spoon, hanky, and whatever else. Is there a quality starter-pack that has all of it in one that you would recommend?
Nothing like that on sale at the moment, to my knowledge. The online stores can sell you those things individually and are usually well stocked with them. Depends on your budget. I would suggest: A small metal bullet (not branded, they are the cheaper metal ones on all the sites) A Mr Snuff plastic snuff box - cheap and very well made, as good as any snuff box out there. Spoon, hanky from the same site - very inexpensive. There were a couple of packs produced by German manufacturers in the past, but nothing that had all of the above in them. You might still find one but you would have to hunt around on European or German tobacconist sites (or maybe ebay if you are lucky), far better and easier buying them separately. Bullets have some fans but they are not made for snuff (head shop items made for coke) and tend to clog with anything other than dry, fine snuff. Most people have to take multiple doses as they deliver only a very small pinch. Personal choice at the end of the day.
I have seen some products labeled as “snuff kits”, but they are obviously for more sinister practices. Nice looking leather pouches, but inside are items like a snorter straw, vials, spoons, a small mirror, and a razor blade… most of the items you could probably find some use for, but I would feel a little awkward carrying that around. I can also recommend the plastic snuff boxes from Mr. Snuff. They’re great quality, conducive to any snuff taking method, and cheap enough you don’t have to worry about maintenance or damaging them.
An addendum to this list would be a chezh pipe tool. The spoon comes in handy not only for sniffing from, but also for loading snuff boxes, bullets, etc. And I frequently use the poker to scrape out the corners of my boxes when I’m switching snuffs.
To add to Scurvy’s input … it’s true that most snuff kits resemble “blow kits” … but still, an all in one from snuffgear.com is for sale less than $10. http://snuffgear.com/index.php?main\_page=product\_info&cPath=47&products\_id=248
The spoon in the kit looks pretty good. I’m considering a snorter, too, after taking a line of snuff off my desk as a joke and actually enjoying it that way… The razor blade and mirror still kinda put me off, though.
@ spydercanopus I wouldn’t recommend any- http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?\_trksid=p3984.m570.l1313&\_nkw=snuff+accessories&\_sacat=0-This Snuff acquisitiveness is a disorder we all suffer from. SLOW DOWN.
One hanky is not enough. Minimum of 7 is required. At least in my experience. I have a couple of bullets, never use them anymore. My Czech pipe tool is very useful. A MrSnuff plastic snuffbox, a few smashboxes, the above mentioned hanky collection and my fingers are all the accessories I need. I do want a few more items, but they are not , strictly speaking, necessary.
The long metal spoons from Mr. Snuff rock (if they still have them)- solid and well-made like a dental instrument.
