I’ve been thinking about ordering some rustica from Toque, but I’m a little afraid. Is it as life-threatening as some people have said? I want my full-on nicotine fix, but I don’t want to end up in the hospital. Thanks for any replies.
Go for it.

I think it’s all overblown hype. Sure, it’s strong but nothing that will land you in a hospital or anything, especially as snuff. I grew some rustica a couple of years ago and smoked some in a pipe, much harder nic hit than rustica snuff! =P~ I’ve survived to tell the tale.

I use a few pinches of straight rustica every day. The sensation is a bit different than other snuffs, but it’s definitely nothing to be afraid of. The *ahem* aroma… is likely more off-putting than the strength. A bit “dudeish”.

It’s nuthin’ to be scared of. I find 41P WE to have a bigger nicotine slap than rustica. But there’s definitely something else other than nicotine in rustica. Snuff too much of it and you’ll end up in an other-worldly state and have the most fantastic dreams. That’s what I save it for,these days! Oh and smell (of fish, grass and farmyards) whilst not totally unpleasant, is very persistant.

Start with the 50GM bag…a little dab will do you! It also mixes very well with many others which you will have to experiment a bit to find those favorable combos according to your tastes.

Bought a plug of Rustica from BBB a while back; always keep a “Regular Blend” for every day, and a “Rustica Infused Blend” of cigarette tobacco; for those special/hellish days that require a bit extra.

I don’t mind the occasional neat pinch, though I tend to mix it to boost another snuff
I sniff rustica sometimes, you’ll be fine
I like it. I don’t think it’s any better nic-wise than WE or NB Madras. I agree–the WARNINGS are hyperbole. It’s just snuff–go for it.
Thanks for all the replies. I’m going to have to try some. I have a very high tolerance for nicotine, so if it doesn’t flatten other people, then I should be fine with it. Once I have my “nicotine on”, I can happily puff away at my pipe, take my snuff, or whatever, at a leisurely pace, but first thing after waking up I need an “emergency expedited nicotine fix”, and I can imagine rustica perhaps being the answer to that.
