I’d say the strongest plain snuff I’ve tried taste wise anyway is London Brown by SG. I got a fresh tin of this from Snuffstore this week and must say I’m impressed. You must try this fresh and moist as I can imagine it could become pretty harsh when it is dried out. Get a tin from Snuffstore not the shitty tap out boxes. Stefan
If you want a strong plain tobacco snuff order some Thuoc Lao leaves from Toque and pulverize it. Smokey, tasty, and real strong. Plain as you get. If you want a hurtin, wet it with just a bit of Bicarb. This stuff is so underrated as a great snuff tobacco.
@bipolarbear & devilock76- ***blush**** I really care about all of you and this forum. And polarbear, well I just got to send you a sample of some of the better Pöschls ;o)
Thanks Iggy, I responded earlier but the post disappeared. You are indeed a truly valuable member here and very gracious. I’m trying to get a female friend of mine down in Vancouver to try snuff as a substitute for cigs and you and Carol have figured in my remonstrances when she has demured on the basis that it might not be right for a lady to snuff. I also read her the writing on a can of F&T. If it was good enough for the Duchess of Kent…
In pre-feminist times, taking snuff was the only tobacco use that was considered proper for ladies. Women who smoked were seen as scandalous harlots. Have your female friend go to eBay and run a search for snuff boxes. There are a lot of antique ones that are obviously designed for women. Some women’s snuff boxes had a little chain attached to a ring they wore, so they wouldn’t lose their precious snuff.
Good tip, PSS, she’s into all that old time foofaraw anyhow.
