I was going through my snuff drawers and than went into a drawer where I keep some mixes ( usually mix in small batches and put in different color screw on small cosmetic containers purchased in Walmart in the travel accessories bins, usually past the hair or toothpaste products ) Since I identify my mixes by color of container ( i don’t label mixes ) and probably have only a dozen or so mixes, I was thinking to query this to SH members; IF ALL YOUR SNUFFS GOT UNLABELED WITH NO IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS AT ALL AS TO WHAT SNUFF WAS INSIDE, ( mixes and / or straight from manufacturer ) DO YOU THINK YOU COULD IDENTIFY MOST EVERY ONE YOU HAVE IN YOUR COLLECTION WITH OUT TAKING A SNUFF, BUT MERELY BY SMELLING IT FROM THE CONTAINER? OR BETTER YET, BY EXAMINING OR MERELY LOOKING AT IT? ( I think I could identify ones I do recently by just looking at em. The rest I would have to smell them, but may have trouble telling some USA scotches from each other.) Could be a new game show… “NAME THAT SNUFF” … Never fly in USA… Not even a pilot…Maybe in UK… Lol

Not a prayer! Being a cigarette smoker for so long, I’ve yet to recover my sense of smell properly anyway - add to that the noob factor and I wouldn’t have a clue.

there are some I’d know but without labels most would be difficult for me to accurately identify. I wouldn’t be able to put a name to many SPs for instance.

as im new ish (a year) i still have a wide variety of snuff, rather than a few that are similar. i think i could nail all of them with a sniff of the jar, even my separate menthols (hedges, O&G, J&H wilsons etc), particularly if i can sniff both one after the other and back for comparison.

Yeah I think I definitely could, I only have one minty snuff and all the rest are pretty unique. I’d probably have some trouble if I had multiple SPs.

I only have about 7 mixes in my drawer, non labeled. I can peg 5 of them… only have trouble with 2…they both have Honey Bee as the main part of the mix, and the two containers smell the same, although I know one has a pinch of Toque Chocolate but I can’t sense it without putting it in my nose.

Name that snuff? I loose. I could tell what is in them, but to nail down the manufacturer of snuff in a mix it be 50/50 without the use of actually snuffing it! then the odds could be reduced to 70/30 I may get it right. Doing snuff straight is hard enough to tell unless it is obvious and unique in a blind test.When I do make mixes I label them and the ratio of the mix just in-case I love it and want to duplicate it.

I second mouse
