Well, I have been snuffing full time since Feb. and last night I noticed that I may be coming down with a cold. Today I was clogged up pretty good, I took my snuff mix of the week which is Toque lime toast, SG Cherry, W.E. Garrett sweet, and White elephant. I like a nice dry mix with a little flavor, I was going for a cherry limeade, followed by a strong plain tobacco. It worked like a charm to unclog my face. I read a lot about people getting congested sniffing snuff, and it happens when I use any artisan or schmalzler snuff. But I was wondering, what is everyones favorite snuff while you are sick, anything that makes you feel better or worse?
I haven’t had a cold in eons, but I do get occasional congestion from allergies. When that hits, like now with the dreaded ragweed pollen, I stick to HDT. It hits me like a cuddly kitten and keeps me cleared up with no rebound. I tried that with a menthol and damned near died.
Wilsons ofSharrow extra menthol. Menthol doesn’t clog me.
i like shifting nose gunk with a coarser snuff that has a burn, then ill use something drier like those above mentioned.
Oh, High Dry Toast. I actually have some in my order that just cleared customs today! I’m starting to feel better, yesterday was rough, I went to the store and got some alka seltzer cold stuff. I rarely get sick, and never for long. Since it started a few days ago I have felt great, but just annoyed that I can’t breath. Even more annoyed when I can’t smell. However, I was cramming all sorts of flavors I usually tone down just to see if I could smell them. It was pretty fun. Pretty sure I used more snuff than a normal day, it was much more relieving than anything else. Every time, my dry mix worked to dry my face up and felt great. Just not for long. Tried all three of the Moh Mee snuffs, The Dholakia herbal, and Crumbs of comfort. The Moh Mee is just freaking gross. I hate to say it, but it is, It could maybe grow on you. I snorted the hell out of it with no luck. Luckily, I couldn’t smell it. I thought maybe it isn’t working because I’m not snorting enough… Not the case. Then, I read here on snuffhouse the translation on the side says its actually farting powder… Well I sniffed some more of the yellow an hour ago just to give it a shot. It smells like a Thai food restaurant in my face. Lets see if the fun begins. Pets. Beware. I also tried this stuff I got just to have around in case a major clog, when I became a full time snuffer, a nasal cleaning solution called Alkalol. I had never wanted to use it. However, it was very refreshing. Read all sorts of threads about that subject. Plus a few other threads about colds already posted. Oops, but thanks everyone!
I use medicated snuffs quite frequently thru the day and occasionally get a bit clogged. I find a bit of SP clears thing up for me pretty quickly.
