I’ll introduce myself as mrsniffles. I’m a new snuffer, about 6 months. After reading through the forums here at snuffhouse, I’ve learned a lot about the culture that surrounds tobacco and the accompanied (oh what the heck are you doing, looks =)). I’ve smoked since I was about 14 1/2 and didn’t stop until i was 23. Go figure with how much everyone around me at school, the parking lot, bars, everywhere I go people are always smoking, that I finally gave in and tried puffin. That was a mistake huh. But after I discovered snuff I started leaning towards quitting smoking and I have done just that. Now I’m 26 and have been cigarette free since 2 years ago today!
I heard of snuff a long time ago but never gave any thought about it until I found mr. snuff mentioned in a blog somewhere (can’t remember where). I made a few orders and now find myself really enjoying the aromas like toque rose, toque strawberry and ozona orange to name a few.
Here in the states everyone here smokes. People will bum them from others on the street and I have been asked so many times I’m tired of it! Since of a few days ago I’ve found that many people in my area will not take a snuff from me when I’ve been asked for a cigarette. When I make the offer the response I get is, “I don’t really like things going in my nose” or “I only do cocaine.” I found this to be quite interesting that so many people either do dip, or chew and never even heard of snuff! Let alone asking another for a smoke they expect to get a smoke but when asked if they would like to take a snuff, I get a declined offer. Seems to me, people are just uninformed on the types of tobacco the world has to offer besides cigarettes.
That’s my introduction and look forward to carrying on a conversation with ya’ll friendly people
Yeah smokeless is so much more satisfying to me than smoke products, and I started with cigarettes, but over the years I quit smoking totally, then added in cigars and pipes but my best friend has always been a smokeless of one form or another. Dip is the bees knees to me but I’m working on switching to snuff for the last few months and I basically have, going weeks at times with nothing but snuff, but there’ll always be a special place in my heart for packing a lip. Welcome welcome.
Snuff is the bee’s knees, and I think I’m going to take some A/P right now. My brother in law got some unopened tins from me on xmas since he is attempting to quit cigs for 2016. I’m quite sure I enjoyed giving him the snuff way more than he enjoyed receiving it. He got some good ones like Quit and Butternut Toast 2015 - we’ll see. Snuff is a nice little hobby, I’m glad I found it, and I’m glad you joined us mrsniffles!
This is awesome! Glad to hear everyone’s responses. I used the vapor cigs and other e liquids but found that buying electric batteries to smoke wasn’t in my favor. Perhaps because I had to keep buying attachments all the time when the burners never worked, but eventually I just bottomed out with even using them. All my vapor smokes right now are just laying around and not even in use since I first started getting some good snuffs come in.
I’ve tried dipping before sometimes when I was with a friend when I didn’t smoke anymore and found myself liking mainly the taste of whatever he had. Now I don’t ever touch dip because i don’t buy it, nobody I know close to me buys it and now I’ve turned my friend onto using some snuff. It’s the super Medicated No. 666, that’s the big hit for him.
*I’ll take a picture of my collection* If anyone’s interested in sharing pictures of they’re collection post em here. I’d like to see what tastes others have.
@mrsniffles I never vaped , I like real tobacco. I have a decent cellar of pipe tobacco and around 400 different snuffs that I rotate through , I also enjoy using Swedish Snus. I would load some pictures if I knew how but I am afraid it would use up a few pages. And take half a day to get them out and put them back.I also enjoy premium cigars every now and then but it not an obsession like the ground leaf. I was into dip for sometime I like it mostly while outdoors so I can spit. Mudjugs are Ok for indoors but to carry around a spit bottle is just stupid; I used to have one in my ride resting in the cup holder.I used leaf and plug chew also but it just sweets the nicotine isn’t there.Warning Snuff acquisition disorder is real and it is fairly easy to buy more snuff than you can use in one lifetime. My advice is find a few you like and use them up then buy some more.
We’ve had a handful in the past, though not all of the pictures in them have survived the years and the transition. This seems like as good a time and place as any.
Being (chronically) ill, getting all of my snuff together in one place is too much of a Herculean endeavor. Here’s a photo of (most of) the stash I keep next to my couch. Snuffs are rotated in and out from a larger stash, and thence to and from the Largest Stash. Someday I hope to take a photo of my entire collection, but that day is not today.
Okay, so it’s like this. I despise technology. I have no clew why it decided for me that the pic I wished to upload was the first pic you see here. As a bonus, I can find no way to remove it. So please ignore the first pic; it’s a 2013 pic unrelated to the thread or the forum. The second picture is the proper one which belongs here.
And I am aware I’m no Ansel Adams; so my apologies beforehand for the “quality.”
Haha yeah unrelated but a sign of the greatest salesman our country ever had. I have to say your by-the-couch stash blows mine out of the water, right now the only thing in reach is the bullet in my pocket hehe. One thought about snuff that beats every other product is the pure simplicity and efficiency of it. Normally I grow as many plants as I possibly can, then add more as I have room. Next year I have some seed grow outs to complete but I plan on growing only like 10 for snuff and babying the hell out of them. It’s just so efficient it really frees me to forget entirely about volume and focus 100% on quality. Snuff really is the bees knees:)
Hows that cheese and bacon, and bluberry menthol?? I smoked (well still smoke on occasion) menthols. Very curious about the flavored mentholated snuffs @mrsniffles
The cheese and bacon is really good with a cup of coffee, bacon, eggs and some hash browns & toast. The smokey flavor makes me hungry for a cheese omelet. For the blueberry menthol, it is one that is very unique imho. The menthol isn’t overboard but does make me nose open up. However I’m not sure I get many notes of blueberry at all, rather base tobacco but is still a refresher from some of these other toques. I usually take a few pinches of cheese & bacon for a morning snuff just like the guarana boost. I end the day after work with a nice blueberry menthol to clear me up and after that I clean up. Then I take a few large pinches of sudfrucht.
