Been lurking on this site for a bit. Finally decided to make a first post. I have been using snus for a couple years and would like to make the switch to snuff only. I have experimented with snuff off and on over the years, but never really considered making it a full time thing until recently. In the past I tried various Wilsons of Sharrow, FUBAR Grunt, SD Apricot and just recently I got some Viking Dark and Viking Peach from MrSnuff. Now for my question. To make it easy for me to substitute snuff for snus I need to use a bullet, especially while at work. I really like the Viking snuffs but they don’t seem to work well in my bullet. Sometimes they wont pack into the cup at all or when they do they seem to get stuck in there and I cant sniff it out. The Viking Dark works ok but it is dried out because the can was sent to me not vacuum sealed and it had dried out. The Viking Peach doesn’t work at all because it is so moist and coarse. I would like to find a great peach or apricot snuff that I can buy in bulk that would work well in my bullet. I like the nicotine in both the Viking Dark and Peach so anything along those lines is what I am looking for. Thank you very much for any help. And thank you for all the great info I have been finding on this site! By the way on a second note I am in the process of starting my own tobacco grow (indoors right now) and will be using it to make snuff. So far I have Virginia Tabacum and Rapa Nui (Easter Island) Rustica starting =)
finer grinds tend to work best. Though are also more easy to oversniff the snuff. I find with heavier snuffs useing the bullet to drop a pinch on the back of my hand works. Don’t know if that works in your situation.
Best advice on a bullet, is to sniff lightly and hold on…
In my experience only medium grinded snuffs and finer work with a bullet, maybe that coarse viking snuffs you say become more dusty (so finer) as they dry and work then but with a loss of flavor I fear… Something I discovered is that a 3/4 full bullet works better than completely full one, the snuff needs some space inside the bullet´s chamber to move and get to the dosing hole.
3/4ths rule, very cool. I so often try to pack it in there, then Womph! when it does finally come loose, i’m blowing my brains out…
