Snuff Collection

Ha ha I feel like an amateur I haven’t finished a tin (I’m close with toque coke I’ve finished about 6 poschl tins but those are different so moist) and you guys are buying 100g bags lol. Hey Napoleon Bonnaparte used 1kg of snuff a week. With the snus stockpiling people who used like 6-8 portion a day didn’t understand why people would buy 500+ tins and now do when they’ll offer discontinued stuff like claq qui, I do since I easily polish that off every six months and don’t refrigerate it, If I had a refrigerator and lived on my own with cash I would probably get 50 tins of snus if it were on sale.

I thought refridgeration didn’t make a difference as long as its air tight and out of the light?

I’ve always thought refidgerator is usually fairly dry place (freezers even more so), hence an odd place to store one’s snuff or pipe tobacco.

I don’t know much about snuff preservation, but I know that the commonly held belief that one should store coffee in a freezer actually damages certain chemicals of the beans.

I’m also sorry @transistor. I misunderstood you, but I shouldn’t have been sarcastic. It doesnt excuse my behavior, but I can be a complete tosser when I’ve had a drink (which I’m trying to give up). On a brighter note, the collection continues to grow. http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z24/OscarWabbit/e85bd24e.jpg

@OscarWabbit … love the collection. Question … what size tubs are the Wilsons? 450g?

Thanks @snuffbrant. Yes, 450g.

When I was new to snuff and it’s newness, I was all about expanding my collection, now I am more about refining my collection.

its okay @oscarwabbit I can be a big asshole lol You’re cool with me man I’m over it :wink: I do wish I had your collection though ha ha

I love this forum. So friendly. Its awesome to be able to see human beings work out their problems and be civil with each other. You’re all a nice bunch, and I’m happy to have found this place. So, as one of The Beatles songs go… “Love is all you need”

that is so stupid mr Moose. Of course I’am just being a a smart ass. I agree with you.

I must have the smallest collection here… I have 16 tins. But I am going to need to get more bulk instead of variety, I cant seem to put down the HDT and D.White Ive already had 50 g. of the d.white over the past 3 months

I have various tins that are quite old (6 months +) since I backed off snuffing and picked up the cigarettes again. I’m going to order bulk Toque soon since, for me, Toque stands leaps and bounds above other snuffs in terms of freshness and customer service.

Toque’s great- but to say they’re the best is a matter of opinion. Wilson’s of Sharrow DEFINITELY gives them a run for the money. YMMV of course…

I’m not saying my top 5 snuffs are all Toque or anything… they just deserve a huge amount of credit is all I’m saying.

@bob : better than being a stupid ass :stuck_out_tongue:

OH TOTALLY! From what I’ve heard (I wasn’t snuffing then) they basically just blew up outta nowhere, with EVERY BIT of the talent and complex perfection that the “long standing, traditional” English snuffs possess! I get what you’re saying. You tell a veteran snuffer (lets assume they’ve never heard of Toque- as if that would even be possible lol) that Toque has been around since the beginning right beside SG, WoS, etc., and they’ll believe it all day.

Less yapping, more photos! grumble-grumble, mutter, grumble

@Xander agreed! I’d take a pic but I’m ASHAMED I tell you! Maybe once my new order comes…

Just a reminder keep the photos at a reasonable size, say no more then 600 pixels across. Large ones just blow the page.
