@bob, I agree entirely: When I last had a cold, I found that almost every Poeschl tastes a *lot* better. If someone finds that the menthol detracts from the enjoyment, there’s no better circumstance than a nasty cold =)
Yeah menthol is amazing for when I have a cold. One of the last colds I had every none menthol snuff I had just smelled very acrid with nothing plesant. Menthols actualy had some nice dimension I normaly missed.
A pinch of WoS Extra Menthol as needed gets me through the day when I have a cold.
WOS SM Blue. It clears like no other.
Hot port and any snuff is my prescription.
The problem of not even being able to sniff with a cold led me to use schmalzler to get me through. Cramming large amounts in without having to sniff and good drainage following it is key,IMo. (Well…that and two teaspoons of Jager each night…)
Yeah the schmalzers are great for excising phlegm. I didn’t expect that but they are.
I caught a cold last week, my first in over a year. It hit me unawares, and promptly progressed into a sinus infection. Yucch. So I laid off the snuff, it just didn’t seem like the right thing to do. Been using snus lightly, but been very grouchy. Tried smoking the pipe, but it tasted like ashes and made me cough. Last night I took a pinch of Hedges, and it was like the light shining in! I felt that warm glow, and the world was better. I never crave menthols, but that sure hit the spot. My tobacco use could be limited to only snuff, upon this experience.

I used to get a spring and fall cold that turned into a sinus infection, like clockwork. This fall I had the first cold/sinus infection I’ve had since I started snuffing in July '09, and even then it was a ‘dry’ sinus infection. That is, while my head felt stuffy and I had some sinus headaches, the main airways were clear and my schnozz wasn’t running like a faucet. Yay for snuff!
I’ve had a cold since Sunday. No snuffing for me, my nose is way too sore.
@spranalang…I recently went though the sinus infection thing and hedges was the ticket…got the pills, continued with hedges only and got over it in record time!
Hedges has really helped me get through my cold this year.
I’ve been down to one nostril open with this cold, but I have to keep snuffing. I layed off dip and snus…got a double root canal on Weds. I still love both,but growing up with well water, I guess my teeth aren’t as strong as the norm. For me, I will stick just with snuff for the forseable future.
Y because u didn’t get enough poison flouride?
Dang another double post my fingers r far to fat for this phone
Double posts seem to happen inexplicably in this new Snuffhouse. They also seem to magically self destruct!
I noticed that.
Sort of on topic has anybody noticed that snuff seems to help in the event of a nose bleed?
@Jd When I was a boy, they told everyone that a ‘Flouride Enema’ was the correct way to get your flouride. Painfully, I find out years later it was just some kind of sick joke. The only thing it has helped is my ‘shit eatin grin’.
Nothing like minty fresh bowels. Did you floss afterwards?
