Ok the story begins… bla bla I’ve been off snuff for a month or more due to chest problem and doctors blaming snuff but I had a stressful day due to following life in the system so out I dug my snuff stash. Didn’t want to overdo it. More or less a check on my stash in storage but for this special stress day and missing snuffhouse some I dug into my Creme de Figue and Thrice Brewed but I needed something a bit more straight to the point so I went for the Fields of Juniper. God I just love that stuff. I love them all. It’s like I’d never been away. PS. I do like snus but snuff is pretty brilliant, if you don’t mind a bunged up messy nose and hit that it only lasts for a minute or so compared with potential hourts for snus although with basically no buzz excepting a nicotine overdose. I actually almost drool at the thought of pipe smokers and whatever other mothods people use to get their nic content (except vaping) but inhaling anything lung wise other than air is totally out of the question for me now so no combustion stuff. I’m still a snuff fan and Fields of Juniper still does it for me. I suppose it has to be my no.1 again. Simpy the most wonderful thing and I have tried quite a lot of snuffs but something about that snuff makes me always want to come back to it? I think it’s the one even though it’s not really high on the discussed favourites? Oh hold on. I just realised I have a jar of Prince Regent sitting in front of me. Think I’m in the mood for that. Good to mix course with finer in a rotation. Of course it is.

@I_snuff_therefore___ Good to see you back. I hope the problem you had is cured. Enjoy !!

@I_snuff_therefore___ I love smoking. I picked up the pipe and get plenty of nicotine without inhaling. Although if indoors there the second hand smoke factor. Better wait a few months til your lungs fully recover .

Glad that was the only rubbish I wrote last night as I was pretty full of alchohol and that’s when the computer should be avoided! Actually this morning I’m amazed at how I managed even to type that? Normally on a stress day I would have resorted to chain smoking along with the alchohol and I have to admit I did have a bit of a smoking craving last night. Strange thing also perhaps is that the stress is because I’ve been offered a job interview with a very good chance of at least getting an initial month trail and I don’t see a problem with proving that I can do the job. The stress is that I don’t have a car or motorcycle any longer and this place is about 10 miles away in the countryside and I don’t even think there is any public transport so I am having to rely on people for a lift to the interview who could well let me down. In case anyone is curious the job is for a Electrical Maintenance Engineer in a pet food company who have built a new factory extension and production lines and want people now to train up with the new equipment. It’s probably going to be quite wiffy and pretty noisy but it pays well enough for me and should be very steady employment as those pets always need fed. It will be a food hygene envoirenment so I expect they would frown deeply on any type of nicotine substance being around but I imagine I will try and get away with some snus usage or maybe that might even be to risky? Might have to snuff like crazy outside during a break or something? So a lot of hassle over a little thing and even if I get offered the job - which I pretty much need - then I will have to hire a car for the trial month at least as I don’t see any other option and I’m very low on funds at the moment so it will be a struggle initially. But having got some sleep on it I accept that’s just the way it is. I do hate those times of stress though or is it even stress? I just seem to get agitated and can’t sit still and couldn’t go for a cycle which usually helps calm me down, due to the artic blizard outside. In an emergency it seems I reach for the drink and nicotine. Thankfully it’s rare enough. That was only a temporary snuff relapse as I’m still on meds and under snuff prohibition but it doesn’t seem to have affected me any way badly. Anyone tried Skruf Extra Strong? I can just about handle that snus very occasionally. Definitely the strongest I’ve encountered.

Best of luck with the job thing. Makla Africaine Platinum Bentchikou is the strongest

I’ll agree with that assessment of Skruf Extra Strong. Only Oden’s Extreme can match it for me. Good luck with your interview!

I deleted the latest drunken rambling. I think I need to go to nonsense post rehab. Feeling pretty bad about the job thing though. Working night shift is a real offputter. Seemed the agent was describing a different job to the one they were actually offering. Something got mixed up somewhere so basically it was a total waste of time. I think I hope they don’t call me for a second interview but I think I won’t need to worry about that although good old sods law does seem to have a habit of popping up at times like this.

@I_snuff_therefore___, I got the bit about Fields of Juniper. Excellent snuff. I agree, it has its fans, but I can’t understand why people don’t sing and dance about it.

drunken rambling don’t bother me much until they start repeating.

I’m chilled again. No snuff or booze. Sun’s out. A great day. Just back from a good cycle where I pushed the lungs as much as possible taking as deap breaths as possible and went well enough to give my legs a good workout which I couldn’t much do before. Oh and got a Thunder Melon snus in after the coffee and buns. Just the second one I’ve tried as it is a bit of an aquired taste but good for an occasional. I tried last week to reduce the corticosteroid I have to take from a 5mg down to a 2.5mg and after a few days my chest started stiffening up again so I’m back on the 5mg, a bit dissapointed about that. I thought about having a little more FOJ last night but my chest wasn’t good so I left it. Maybe the reduction in the corticosteroid affected my mind as well as apparently it can have such side effects. I actually got a snus called Phantom Blue as it was supposed to be a juniper flavour and I was thinking since I like FOJ a lot I might like this. Binned and fast. It was like having a mouldy mothball in your mouth. Worst snus yet, by quite a margin. I have a confession to make. I kind of like Nicotine Gum. I don’t like using snus all of the time and so like something else in between and the gum seems to work well although I find I prefer the milder 2mg compared with the 4 mg but I think that’s because I’m almost 2 years off smoking now. I threw all of my e-cig stuff in the bin after trying that again for a bit and it seemed to upset my chest so I threw it all out rather than give to anyone in case it caused them a problem. Snus I like to have a bit of potency but I don’t think the extra strongs are for me although I still use Thunder and they all seem to be strong. I found my favourite to be the White Cool Mint but I also like some regular tobacco snus like Jacobsons the sort of SP like snus’s. Very limited what can be obtained in the UK it seems. Man oh man last week with that job shit I was going out of my mind and becoming a brain addled alchoholic. Oh I hate that. I really can’t figure out why I get like that. It’s kind of like the Black Dog people talk about with depression. Awful. Next time somehow I’ve got to find some other way of dealing with it but I’ve never been successful to date so dread it comming around again and it surely will be just a matter of how long. Job interviews sure seem to be one thing that sets it off but then I suppose they are probably one of the worst tortures. The effort put in, time and again, for absolutely zero reward. I miss not having been trying all of the @chefdaniel snuffs as it sounds like he’s doing a fantastic job but with how things are I have to keep to my abstinence for yet more time as this lung thing definitely hasn’t cleared up fully and I still don’t know where it will lead so sadly I have to forgo that enjoyment but I’m glad he’s really doing well with it. All this talking about snuff. Maybe I could just have a little blast of Prince Regent. That should be ok. Well soon find out. Actually that was good idea. Goes well with Melon snus as it is a sort of grapefruit flavour, the Prince Regent I mean. Last snuff I took was still coming back out of my nose 2 days later after I had stopped taking any !!! I can’t believe how much better I feel now compared to last week. Maybe I’m bipolar or something but definitely prefer the up side.
