My head aches, my eyes ache and my sinuses ache, I’m stuffed up and my body aches all over - I have all the signs of a cold coming. Aside from menthol, could I have some recommendation for a nice gentle snuff to console me over the next few days? If this is an absurd question forgive me - I have only been snuffing for a couple of weeks.

I like RR Mills, Navy,( plains) or swisher Wild Cherry,a 200mg vitamin C tablet,then a shot of Jager with a lemon squeezed in it before bed. If you wake up in the night sweating it means your work was successful…you ‘broke’ the cold, as they say. Consider yourself healed at that point.
LOL. That sounds like a remedy I can deal with!
Hedges all the way.
Well, …I guess the vitamin C and keeping your lips moist with alcohol keep the cold from getting worse, is what I was always told Edit “Jägermeister’s ingredients include 56 herbs, fruits, roots, and spices including citrus peel, liquorice, anise, poppy seeds, saffron, ginger, juniper berries and ginseng.” It was also used as an antiseptic in WW2 So, now you know why I serIOUS! DAMMIT! NoW, wer"s the HelL did i leeve my anticeeptik, womAn!
Vitamin C is the biggie. And lots of liquids. Helps flush out the virus.
@snuff-n00b. Thank you for the response - I’m afraid I’m rather new at this.
JAger is the cold killer I keep a bottle in the freezer just for it.
When I’ve a cold, I reach for Toque Menthol…I keep it around for this purpose. I’m going to try some Jager next time…love that stuff!
Enjoy it while it lasts as this may be the last cold you will get for a long time once you become a seasoned snuffer. I’m not making any promises but it’s been like that for a lot of us.
McC’s O&G, one pint of rum, drink it all and then zip yourself up in a sleeping bag and sweat it out. work’s every time.
I find Poschl’s Gawith Apricot the best one for me when I’m a bit “off”.
I find that when I have a cold the plainer snuffs are better at keeping my sinuses open. I’ve got a cold at the moment and have been using Toque natural toast with a dab of menthol and its worked much better than the decongestant I bought.
If I ever get a cold (which is frightfully rare these days), I use Hedges exclusively. This not only unblocks you and keeps things moving it also takes headaches off as well. Stefan
I reach for my box’o’snuff and down a few shots of plum moonshine before going to bed when i feel a cold creeping up on me, works wonders. Jager and Rum sound like good options too :). Lately I’ve been treating the occasional sore throat with snus as well , that much nicotine is bound to kill anything trying to move up on me.
I just have to ask is it me or does anyone else agree. That medicated snuffs are the best when you actualy have a cold or flu. I seriously have found they agree with my nose more then other snuffs do at such times (like right now). I also find I don’t seem to get any rebound effect either. Just want to know if anyone else has noticed this.
The only way I can use or enjoy medicated is by just using a very small amount as a seasoning in blends, adding a cool flavour but not the medicated effect. Medicated used raw ends up giving me the actual symptoms of a cold and will end up completeley closing me down. Strong, plain snuffs with a dab of menthol really help me though.
I have this problem; Since I started snuffing, I do not get the common colds anymore. Anyone got some advice for me?
Go back to school. Spend a lot of time in a hospital just milling about breathing deeply. Have strangers and friends sneeze in your mouth. Lick half eaten food products you find in trash cans. Chew the gum you find on the sidewalk. I’am sure you’ll get a cold if you do that.
