Samuel Gawith Golden Glow, I was browsing their selection and I found this and I thought I must have it as I love their pipe baccy with the same name but after checking a few reviews I find out it’s a a mint scent and I’m really disappointed. Also anything with cola in it as I just don’t see the point.
I didn’t think I liked florals until I found GANGA and Lavendar Dark. yummmmmiieeee
I have to be honest, I am game for trying just about any kind of snuff. There are some that I would look forward to trying more so than others. Actually, typed too soon, Ozona Snuffy Weiss, basically everything I have heard about it just plain sounds boring.
@jarkaboy I’m going to reorder all the snuffs I hated. I betcha I will love some of them now. your nose changes.
Really an excellent point. Originally, I did not love Dholakia White or FUBAR Medic, however, several months later, I began to really enjoy them. The way I see it some snuffs you need to give yourself time to see how you really feel about them.
Tobacco free snuff and white snuff.
white snuffs for me are a medicine.
it interests me that most seem to be saying tobacco free and florals. not manly enough?
Floral scents seem to give me a very uncomfortable feeling…like needing to sneeze but being unable to. Non tobacco I just see no point in. I snuff for nicotine plain and simple so non tobacco snuff would be silly.
@JakartaBoy I kinda’ like NTSU Snuff (green) from South Africa. I always used to buy it from Wesley’s of South Africa.
I didn’t know florals were this unpopular. It is not the most surprising thing in the world, I kinda get it… but then again I am very eager to try a reccomended floral snuff. Lavender Dark sounds nice. Rose also… the smell of an alpine blooming field also sounds nice. Tobacco free snuffs definitely don’t interest me. Other than that there are only snuffs which are at the bottom of my list-to-try: * Toque Quit (the name and logo annoy me horribly and I can find the same satisfaction elsewhere.) * FUBAR - again, it’s the image thing. Military obnoxiousness. * Toque Cheese & Bacon - Come on, seriously…? Even if people swear by it I stay away from it for the principle of class. It’s despicable on quite a few levels. I’ll probably try those one day though… but they are on the bottom of my list.
I like Thai Herbal Red and Purple and will try the Yellow. Now dholakia herbal was gross IMO,I do get on with kanna snuff; but have little time with my horde of tobacco snuff. I given up on finding an apricot snuff I like. some fruit snuffs are disappointing, Some love them, my nose must be different. Floral are Ok unless the are cloying like Dho Rose Chocolate, one hit last one day.
Gawith apricot. Everything about it is wrong. I know there are people that like it, I wouldn’t even try.
@basement_shaman did you not like the WoS Apricot? That one wins hands down for me. And to the OP no, there is no snuff I will not try, although some have lower priority than others.
Yeah, I suppose I should ammend my answer. I would try them but I have no interest in spending money to do so on other snuff I know I would like much better. As for the “manliness” of florals, that is not my issue at least. I genuinely do not like most flower scents. Super Chetak smells exactly like my wifes perfume so definitely not manly but one of my favorites, lol.
There is not much I wouldn’t try if a trusted person offered me some. I’ve tried a couple of florals, and while I did finish the tins, I won’t be revisiting any florals for a while. Same with toasts and any of the American snuffs. If some one offered me a pinch of any kind of licorice I’d take it to be polite, but I won’t be buying any.
American snuff. what absolute garbage.
Tobacco free snuff and white snuff.
white snuffs for me are a medicine.
Are white sniffs tobacco? If so, how are they white. Interested…
I’m too new to be completely “I won’t try this,” but I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t even try anything that veers too far away from tobacco flavor. My present snuffs are all straight tobacco. I would also be amenable to scented snuffs, ones that I think have a nose of something else, but aren’t heavily flavored. Thus, I think I’d really like the florals. I love licorice, but I don’t think I’d try anything candy-like. I agree with those who say non-tobacco snuffs are out, and for the same reason. It has a solid “What’s the point” feel to me. I use tobacco products because I have learned to like the taste and smell, so anything that’s not tobacco trying to taste like tobacco seems an exercise in futility. Having said all that, if offered, I’d probably try anything, unless the nose was such that it completely turned me off (Bacon & cheese? Love both, not in my nose; personal preference), then I would politely decline. But who knows, maybe I’d like something I didn’t think I would.

@Hoopei there are indian whites they are not white {pale tan} and are tobacco, White powder snuff- non tobacco are sugar for energy, some may have guarana may contain caffeine, other have menthol or other similar decongestants, I know of better tobacco decongestants to use
Hmm, I feel slightly chastened by everyone’s “try anything once” approach. I’m sure if someone offered me a pinch of practically any snuff (possibly not Cheese and Bacon), I’d try it. But to try a snuff, I usually have to order it from overseas and buy it. The ones I mentioned in my OP are the ones that aren’t only low down on my list, they aren’t on my wish list at all. On the other hand, I thought that about ALL menthols a while back, but now I find that there are some menthols I do in fact enjoy (a little bit, occasionally). So yeah, best to be open to trying new stuff, I guess.
@JakartaBoy, I don’t know about that; There have been many who are opposed to all menthols or licorice. Some of us are new enough that we can’t make any assumptions about what we’ll like or not like. And I am the same regarding buying tins, however. While I’d try a menthol offered, I won’t buy any menthol sight unseen, period. Same for the more fruity ones. The florals, especially rose, I’d risk. Straight tobacco (except for High Dry Toasts) are an automatic consideration. Risk versus reward…
If some one offered me a pinch…
Wow, imagine a world where being offered pinches were the norm…
I’m too new to be completely “I won’t try this,” but I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t even try anything that veers too far away from tobacco flavor. My present snuffs are all straight tobacco.
Seems like we have the same taste for snuff basically; in that regard I want to reccomend “Poschl Schmalzler A Brasil”. Holy moly that one takes pure tobacco deliciousness to a new level!
