The very quite but looong time member Abhishek from Sun Snuffs India has sent me some snuff samples with the help of Günter from Snuffstore.de. As I love dark snuffs, I will start with Pari Snuff. The box is a very colourful one. After opening it, you have a heavy, slightly roasted scent which curiously gives you a fresh breeze without snuffing it. After sniffing some you fell a nice burn in your nose. Thanks to a little oiliness, it doesn’t hit your throat at all. On the other hand you look like a chimney sweeper, so make sure to have a mirror at hand. The scent is heavy and very nice. It has a fine to very fine grind and the nicotine content seems to be normal to a bit more. Well done!

Any theories as to why this snuff, like some others outta India, is black? Is it the oil or moisture making the snuff darker, or is it something about the tobacco itself? And you mention “roasted” - like an American scotch snuff, or how?

Should be the tobacco. The other samples are light brown. I had no American scotch snuff as far as I know. It’s just a little touch though.

Where can we get this, it looks great!!

That looks flat out delectable! What was the fragrance like? Scented or pure Tobacco? Got a few friends in India that I wanted to ask for Snuff favours from. This one looks like another to add to the list.

That looks good!

But what’s the “flavor”?

Thanks for the review, Alex. I have another snuff to add to my wishlist now. After a HUGE order with Nicotine Rush, my wishlist is still too long!

@abhishekbisawa. Will these also be marketed in the States?

@abhishekbisawa I am eager to learn about your snuffs and your company!

I love the color of that. Nice and dark.

The flavour is very natural; at most tobacco. There are oils added which are very fine and are not to strong. Smokey, tobacco and a fresh breeze, I would say.

I would give these a try. As soon as a shop that ships to the US picks them up.

I have ordered Sun Snuff Pari and Rasili now, can t wait to try it

I’ve really cut down on my snuff use lately, but once this is available at MrSnuff, I’m buying.

great to c u Abhishek…wellcome…feels proud to have one more INDIAN BRAND…in international market…goodluck! namrata & parag Dholakia

I’d suspect, once it gets out to the many Indian snuff companies, that there is a market for snuff among non-Indians in the US and Europe, and an online community and shops, they will jump on the train.

Does Sun Snuff have a website? I looked, but could not find.

There are a lot of Indophiles around as well (me included) that would be over the moon to try it.

I also want to try Indian snus, filter snus, and upper lip tobacco. I found a few websites, but it’s the same problem with a lot of the Indian dry snuff, no way to get it.

indian snus??? filter snus??? huh?

Yeah, that’s what they call portions.

Alcohol may cause the heating of certain organs but it lowers the body temperature. (I am not a doctor, but a bartender) Ayurveda is not so simple as hot and cold. However… This is fantastic stuff. Certainly you have peaked my interest. The “medicinal” properties of herbs and spices has always been a hobby of mine. Good luck then! Here’s to tradition and a well balanced snuff.

I ordered 2 x Rasili and 2 x Pari at snuffstore.de yesterday at 4 p.m. … this morning (magic?) i had the parcel in my hands. The rasili is a delicate, very complex and refreshing snuff - a completely new, pleasant snuff experience for me. I would rate it with 5/5 stars… will try the Pari this evening.

I wish I could find an American distrubuter of Indian tobacco products. I want many more snuffs, plus I want to Filter Khaini, Filter snus, Upper Lip Tobacco. But these things are so hard to get.

@abhishekbisawa One of the difficulties in explaining Ayurvedic medicine is more due to translation than anything else. Heat in Ayurveda is similar to what western medicine refers to as “metabolism”. Ironically, units of temperature are assigned to measuring that in the west. The Vedas had technical knowledge that still confounds and amazes modern scientists.

Looks great, thanks for the review Alex.

I’ve got to try this–of Indian snuffs I’ve only tried the Dholakia Kamal and Ganga, and they’re AWESOME! Hey Tom, when’s nicotinerush going to start selling these?

Well, Tom says he has a surprise coming for us in 2-3 weeks. I guess we wait and see.

Count me in!!! The Pari looks great! I am also waiting for the Dholakia Black to hit the markets as well. Man let’s get the silk road back up and running

Practical knowledge will only take you up to the present. The knowledge of the impractical is what will take you into the future. It may be that sun snuff is in my future!

I also like the Pari much… Pari & Rasili are my summer snuffs now… tasty and refreshing under the sun.

I will certainly order some when it becomes available to US customers. I guess my purchase moratorium will have to end sometime.

@abhishekbisawa: I will do that this week… your snuff deserves a good review

All 4 varieties says that they contain menthol. How pronounced is the menthol?

Very little… i don t notice it… At snuffstore.de they descripe the rasili as snuff flavoured with citric oil and menthol… thats a bad description. Its not a citric/menthol snuff. As abhishekbisawa mentions It has 12 different perfumes in it… more delicious for me than citric.

Aha - interesting! I like the Indian snuffs from Dholakia that I’ve tried, Kamal, Manjul, Ganga, and Chakali. I prefer the Indian line. I do sense some menthol in Ganga, but it doesn’t bother me (as an incarnate hater of mentholated snuffs:o) I’m glad you say this, because citric and menthol does not seem very attractive as a blend to me. I might place an order now actually .o)

I think the Indian way of using menthol in snuff is not really comparable to either the English or German ways. The 5 Photo Himayala is a good example. Also too is Ganga as Viking points out. I tend not to mind menthol as much when done this way.

The 5 Photo Himalaya is the only menthol I can take all day without getting clogged up. I love that snuff!

I’m glad you and everyone has enjoyed it. Oh, on Aug 28th, my birthday, I am going to lunch at that Indian restaurant, that is next to the Indian grocery where I got these Indian snuffs. I’ll pick up some for anyone that wants them. I’ll need a paypal payment of them, plus $3 for postage in the US. Since I hear paypal is odd about tobacco, if you have to include a message, call them incense please. Whisper me, and I’ll make a note of what to get, if anything. That’s the 5 Photo Himalaya, Sudar Sughand Rose, and Madras. I’ll see if they have any new stuff too.

Happy Birthday in case Pieter forgets to remind us on the 28th!

abhishekbisawa- yes, all that is legal here. I use alot of the Swedish, and Danish made snus, both loose tobacco and in filter portion, see getsnus.com. The American made snus(Camel) is not so good, compared with the imported, I don’t like it. Chewing tobacco, like fine cut dip, sometimes called spit tobacco, as well as loose leaf in a bag is popular here, but I don’t like it. On the thread “on keeping a beard” is a pic of me during my Swami days.

@abhishekbisawa, sorry its 101° F in my computer room at the moment, the hottest part of the summer should be over tomorrow The review will come very soon…

I think people are put off menthol because of the massive amounts of it in some snuffs, when its used very sparingly it can act a bit like a flavour enhancer.

I see Alex posted a pic and small review of them. Now we need a place to get them.

@abhishekbisawa: I’m very excited to hear that your products will soon be available in the US. What sizes will they be in?

Sounds wonderful. I look forward to them!

love the containers they look beautifull.

The tins are quite attractive, and look very durable and clean. Is the lid polished, or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

@ abhishkekbisawa Can’t wait to try these! Will 50g containers also be available at some point?

@Filek You could probably file the older Snuffs under Madras and the more recent ones under Chennai.

On the Top25 lists, I think for each company an “Active”, and “Inactive” would be good.

I mean, some companies are not active anymore.

I haven’t looked in a while, if you already had a system to designate these, then that’s fine. I’ll try and visit the site again soon.

The gray stars are on the map, which is indeed very helpful. I think tom meant he’d like something to indicate a defunct company on the big list. I’d like it too for that matter. That site gets better all the time, good work!

Thanks, Filek. Keep fighting!

I love Indian stuff, from their snuff, mandir designs, foods, music, movies, diety art, incense, and spiritual philosophy. I love the Bhagavad Gita, Srimad Bhagavatam, Upanishads, Adi Shankara, Srila Prabhupada, Sri Ramakrishna, Osho Rajneesh, Sant Kirpal Singh, Sankirtana, Bhajan, Mantras, Shiva Nataraj, Jagannatha Trimurti, ect, ect.

Me too, tom. I’m excited to try Sun Snuff.

I’m yet another Indophile. Have to admit that if I went to Rajasthan, probably most of my cash would go to buying Kurtas. (I’d save a little for Snuff.)

I used to wear a kurta and dhoti and kopan, with a chaddar, if I spelled that right. Along with tilak.

One thing I’ve always liked about those is the combination of comfort and style. Wearing T shirts in the middle of Summer is like asking to be tortured. Kurtas look nice for formal wear, with the correct trousers and jacket, or just by themselves as a casual thing with a pair of jeans. The Rajasthani ones have seriously bright colours/patterns. Probably why those are my favourites. They’ve made periodic comebacks in the West, since they were “discovered” by travellers on the Hippie trail. I can see them as a fashion statement and a World-view wrapped into one. Mostly I just like the comfort, look and versatility.

I had a kurta once. wonderfully piece of clothing (I didn’t even know that was what it was called). To be more subtle the ladies loved it.

In the 80’s I was in Jaipur with Sant Thakar Sing Ji. Was that cannabis growing on the sides of the roads?

@juxtaposer Green and pink just kind of go together.

nah he’d recognize mustard. He spent a few years in betty ford getting the yellow demon off his back. j.k. of course.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm…mustard!

I’m expecting Graham Chapman to show up in a Constable’s uniform any minute now.

I wonder if mustard would be a good snuff flavor?

“SUN SNUFFS have been serving snuff users in India with high quality perfumed snuff formulated with unique blend of high quality tobacco, natural perfume oils ,saffron and other ingredients, for many decades. Our each snuff is a blend of more than 20 different top quality ingredients. Our admirers include many royal families in India and many high positioned officers of The East India Company in the past.” What year was your company created? The East India Company became defunct in 1858 so it must have been founded well before that date if EIC officials used Sun Snuff. “Take example of alcohol. If someone is taking alcohol, one can add ice to it to make it feel cold while drinking , but the ultimate effect of alcohol is to give heat to body.” Alcohol does not raise body temperature - it lowers it. It causes blood vessels to become dilated. Consequently more blood reaches the surface of the body where the warmth is conducted or radiated away from the body. "For example Rose is very cold, and if a person with cold body uses Rose dominated tobacco, problems like flu, headache, cough etc. can occur. " Where is the medical evidence to support this nonsense? “So to solve this problem our ancestors have blended ingredients in our snuffs in such a way that the ultimate effect is neutral on human body and thus can be used safely by any one of any constitution.” What chemical in your snuff prevents a nicotine ‘lift’. If the ultimate effect on the human system of taking Sun Snuff is always neutral then one may presumably consume vast amounts without any noticeable effect on blood pressure or other functions affected by nicotine. Established companies have no need to advertise on groups, but why do you have to try to link your snuff to an esoteric system of alternative medicine when it sounds so utterly pretentious? The snuff is probably good enough to be marketed without obfuscation and claims of ancient patrimony. Sorry, but such advertising puts me off.

@ PhilipS whatever you feel about ayurvedic medicine and it’s veracity doesn’t change how seriously it is taken by many in India. I guess what I’am saying is that although it seems like hogwash to you I have little doubt about the sincerity of it’s producers. Many people in India and actualy all over the world really believe in the quality of ayurvedic medicine too such an extent that all products from food and beverages and herbs (tobacco included) must be balanced to their constitution according to things like the hot and cold scale. I guess what I’am saying is that there a large and very significant consumer base that needs to know if a snuff is balanced hot or cold or neutrally balanced before they’ll even consider consuming it. Pesonaly I agree that the basic premise of hot and cold is mostly phooey (b.s.) and is probably from some very good base information but is overly simplified and far from entirely accurate. Though knowing what I do about the hot and cold philosophy I can say that these snuffs should be very interesting and pleasing to the nose. To sumarize I think the snuff maker isn’t trying to pull our leg and is sincere in their conviction, certainly a large percentage of their native customer is. I personaly don’t buy intot the hot and cold thing however I think that a snuff made to be ayurvedicly nutral will probably be very enjoyable and unique. So to someone who believes or is even just knowledgable about ayurveic medicine the discription of hot and cold is very informative about the qualities of these snuffs. Just my two cents.

Just as Acupuncture is acknowledged by western Doctors as effective, although they have no idea exactly how it works, the same can be said for Ayurveda. It’s not a particularly obscure or esoteric practice. The concepts of hot and cold in Ayurvedic medicine and quite a few other traditional Asian medical doctrines have been muddled by bad translations into English, making them difficult for many to grasp. Alcohol, for instance has a tendency to dehydrate the body, as well as dilate blood vessels, which is conveniently referred to as “warming”, due in large part to the lack of a suitable English equivalent. Ayurveda shares a similar philosophy to Homeopathic medicine, to give a frame of reference. One of India’s largest exports is medical practitioners. Many of them are trained in both western and eastern treatment philosophies. This is precisely why they are in such great demand.

As long as it’s a good snuff, I don’t care if they said it will grow hair.

As far as them “advertising on groups”. I think its ok, as we tolerate the presence of other snuff manufacturers and vendors here. I think its ok when they come on here to inform us about a new product or answer questions regarding an existing one. Its not like they are writing post after post saying “Buy Sun Snuffs” that would be more like advertising and less about informing. Also while it may be true that “established” companies don’t feel the need to come here, I for one would welcome them. Plus getting established in general, or getting established in the Western market, they need to inform us somehow.

I love hearing from manufactures and vendors and what not on here. Its nice to know that some actually are knowledgeable about their product/care a little about their customers…but that’s just me. …so long as they are not trying to force-feed us product, of course. Again, I’m very eager to get some Sun Snuff!

Why does the packaging for Sun Snuff contain the standard health warning for tobacco products? If the snuff was advertised as a non-tobacco mixture then claims that taking it always has no effect on the human system has a certain credibility. But tobacco! It’s rather like an alcoholic beverage being sold with the claim that the alcohol will not be absorbed so that the ultimate effect of consumption is neutral. Ayurveda might be a popular alternative medicine in India but there can’t be many who really believe that Sun Snuff nicotine has no effect on the human system. Yet this is the argument being made by a spokesperson for the product despite all the evidence to the contrary. To claim that - “our ancestors have blended ingredients in our snuffs in such a way that the ultimate effect is neutral on human body and thus can be used safely by any one of any constitution." - is disingenuous promotion to say the least, and in circumstances beyond a chat forum would contravene advertising standards. On a minor point - according to http://www.snuffstore.de/onlineshop/index.php/cat/c187\\_Sun-Snuff.html Sun Snuffs was established in 1886. The East India Company was dissolved by the Government of India Act in 1858. It is therefore impossible that “high positioned officers of The East India Company” were admirers of Sun Snuffs as claimed by their spokesperson. I daresay that Sun Snuffs are very good products and reviews have been favourable. It’s just the erroneous claims in their advertising that - if the company wishes to make inroads into the European market - need addressing

IT’S VERY DIFFICULT TO GIVE EXACT DATE OR YEAR OF SUN SNUFFS ESTABLISHMENT. IT WOULD BE JUST LIKE ANSWERING BIRTH DATE OF MY GREAT GREAT GRANDFATHER. THOSE WERE DAYS WHEN LIFE WAS QUIET SIMPLE IN INDIA. NO FORMAL COMPANY REGISTRATIONS, NO PROPER RECORDS. ALL I CAN SAY IS WE HAVE MAKING SNUFFS FOR MANY MANY DECADES. FROM 1757 AD TO 1947 AD INDIA WAS UNDER CONTROL OF THE BRITISH RULE. I WAS UNDER IMPRESSION THAT IT WAS ALL EAST INDIA COMPANY BUT I MEAN THAT MANY HIGH POSITIONED BRITISH OFFICERS LOVED OUR SNUFFS. AND SORRY I DON’T HAVE THEIR WRITTEN REVIEWS. I AM A BIT WEAK IN HISTORY. APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. When was your company - if it is a company - actually REGISTERED as such in modern-day India? Was it last year or the year before that? It clearly was not as early as 1886 as claimed on the German site. Western companies have records of formal registration and ledger accounts. Their claims may be verified. If your company prior to registration has no formal records you can make up any story you like. Unless a claim may be verified it is meaningless and should not be made. The British company Fribourg & Treyer have accounts dating back to the 1700s that demonstrate their patronage by royalty. The claim printed on their tin is therefore verifiable. Do you have accounts to show that current Indian royalty are amongst your patrons? YOU ARE RIGHT, BUT AS I MENTIONED THIS IS IMMEDIATE EFFECT. THE ULTIMATE EFFECT IS GIVE HEAT TO SYSTEM OR BODY. I REMEMBER MY MOTHER GIVING ME VERY SMALL AMOUNTS OF BRANDY TO CURE FLU WHEN I WAS A CHILD. IS BRANDY A ANTIBIOTIC ? BUT FLU IS A STATE OF EXCESS COLD IN BODY AND BRANDY CORRECTS. Influenza is caused by one of the family of RNA viruses. Lack of sunlight allows the virus to survive outside the human body. Taking brandy might bring comfort to the sufferer but brandy is not a cure for a viral infection as you claim. Nor does alcohol raise body temperature. It does the reverse. Body temperature will stabilise when blood vessels are no longer dilated. ONCE PROBLEM OF SYSTEM IS CORRECTED THE BODY WILL TAKE CARE OF FLU AND THE VIRUSES ETC. WHAT EVER IS CREATING PROBLEM. LIVER CIRROSIS IS INFLAMMATION OR EXCESS HEAT ACCUMULATION IN LIVER CAUSED BY USING EXCESS ALCOHOL.THE SO CALLED LAB BASED SCIENTIFIC ANTIBIOTICS WORK ON “WHAT” BUT NOT ON “WHY”. Laboratory work is based on cause and effect. It may be empirically demonstrated WHY something will or will not cure. The reasoning is always If X Then Y; X therefore Y. It’s success is amply demonstrated by population explosions. Prior to inoculation disease accounted for very high infant mortality rates. Ayurveda has nothing to do with decreased mortality rates and burgeoning populations. Modern science is responsible. It is not based on faith, and it will work irrespective of the person’s beliefs. IN INDIAN MEDICINE AND ALSO IN CHINESE SYSTEM THE BODY IS SEEN AS WHOLE INSTEAD OF SEPRATE PARTS. ALL THE PRINCIPLES HAVE BEEN FORMULATED BY UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN BODY RATHER TESTING ON RATS. WE ALL ARE MASS OF ENERGY WHICH FLOWS THROUGH BODY. A HEALTHY FLOW OF ENERGY IS ESSENTIAL FOR GOOD HEALTH. ANY OBSTRUCTION IS ILLNESS. WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF CHAKRAS BUT 7 IMPORTANT ONE. NOW THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT WAY OF HEALING THE BAD ENERGY FLOW. BY HERBS, BY POSTURES(YOGA), PRANAYAMS, ACCUPUNCTURE, REIKI, HOMEOPATHY,FASTING,URINE THERAPY ETC. ON THING IS COMMON IN ALL SYSTEM IS THEY USE RESOURCES PROVIDED BY NATURE ITSELF. INDIAN SAGES HAVE SOME SORT OF SUPERNATURAL POWERS, SO IS WITH MANY PEOPLE EVEN TODAY. WE HAVE A PERSON IN INDIA WHO NEITHER EATS ANY THING NOR DRINKS WATER. AN EAGER NEWS CHANNEL CONDUCTED MY MEDICAL TESTS ON HIM AND DOCTORS WERE JUST SPELLBOUND. YOU CAN READ MORE ABOUT HIM AT. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/news/city/ahmedabad/Wonder-diet-Living-on-thin-air/articleshow/295761.cms WE HAVE EDGAR CAYCE WHO GAVE SO MANY BEAUTIFUL HEALING SYSTEMS TO US. WE HAVE MULKRAJ DAS IN INDIA WHO WAS A DOCTOR IN BERLIN AND NOW A ENERGY HEALER. HE HAS SPECIAL POWER, SO THAT HE CAN READ ENERGY FLOW IN BODY AND CAN TRANSFER HIS EXCESS ENERGY INTO A PERSON. HIS WEBSITE http://www.drmulkrajdass.com/home.html. SO EVERY THING IN THIS WORLD IS A MASS OF ENERGY BE IT ALCOHOL OR OUR BODY. Sorry, but this sounds like using the language of obfuscation to explain away obfuscation. The EU, by the way, is making claimants for alternative medicine fall under the auspices of the Complementary and Alternative Medicine Council (CAM) YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF. GET A GOOD QUALITY ROSE ESSENTIAL OIL AND APPLY IT IN YOUR HEAD. IT WILL PROBABLY CAUSE HEADACHE OR COLD TO YOU DEPENDING UPON WETHER YOU DON’T HAVE EXCESS HEAT IN YOUR BODY. Applied a few drops to the top of the head. The only thing I’m aware of is a slightly damp patch. No other effects are discernable. BLENDING SCOTCH WITH ROSE WILL NOT PREVENT HANGOVER AS ONE WILL SAY THE ROSE WILL NEUTRALIZE HEAT OF SCOTCH. EVERY ELEMENT WILL SHOW IT’S EFFECT, IT’S JUST WE ARE BALANCING THINGS AND TRYING TO MINIMIZE THE BAD EFFECTS. OUR SNUFFS ARE NEUTRAL SO THAT THEY DON’T EFFECT THE ENERGY SYSTEM OF OUR BODY. THAT’S WHY WE DON’T HAVE SINGLE FLAVOR SNUFF. WE NEVER SAID THAT OUR SNUFFS CAN BE CONSUMED IN LARGE QUANTITIES. AROMA THERAPY IS COMPLETELY BASED ON ENERGIES OF ESSENTIAL PERFUME OILS AND THE WAY THEY EFFECT HUMAN BODY. SNUFFS HAVE PERFUMES AND THEY ALSO EFFECT OUR BODIES. The query was not about essential oils but nicotine in snuff. Nicotine, like alcohol, will always have an effect on the system. It doesn’t matter what combination of oils you add nicotine will still be absorbed with increased and measurable plasma nicotine and cotinine concentrations. Blood pressure will be affected. Therefore to say that Sun Snuff (which is presumably tobacco based) is neutral and entirely safe on the human system is simply not true. And the situation is indifferent to whether you are a follower of the laws of nature or not. Sorry to appear so critical. The criticism is not directed at your product (which I’m sure is very good) so much as the bogus claims made to promote it.

It’s probably best to just say, here is our snuff, hope you like it.

I think the best health claim for Snuff, is that it’s much less injurious than smoking. That’s something we can all probably agree on.

Looking forward to buying some in the USA.

I wrote a review for the Pari, 2 weeks ago :)… couldn t write a review for Rasili, because it was sold out at that time…

Copy and paste it here.

Are we starting to amalgamate?? : )

@tom502 … its in german. I wrote that the Pari is a very tasty. almost black, slightly oily and very innovative snuff … gave him 5 stars, with the restriction that its not a all day snuff for me, because of the relatively strong aroma. I only use it in the evening…

There is a difference between something posted here and official advertising. We allow Roderick many, many column inches in respect of Toque and I don’t see the post on this snuff as being anything that should overly concern us. My personal view is that - as it was defined by the author here - Ayurvedic medicine is based on un-scientific principles and is, on the face of it, nonsense. On balance I also think that some of the claims suffer in translation, for instance I think that ‘heat’ was further clarified as ‘matabolism’. That said, the post does not worry me and when it comes to a formal advertising campaign any wholly preposterous claims will be impossible to publish due to the various trade description and EU directives on what you can and can not say in an advertisment. All of our manufacturer/supplier members say their snuff is wonderful and I don’t detect anything more than a cultural and semantic clash as opposed to an intention to mislead. Or maybe live and let live expresses it more simply.

The longer i use it, the better i find it… this snuff is really something special. Good work abhishekbisawa…

I Have asked for a sample to review, sounds so interesting.

I am quickly running out of a small sample, I really like this snuff and I need more! When can we expect it to be available in the US?

It’s on it’s way! Shipped 10 days ago from India. Could be held up in customs.

deleted

I just had my first toot of this. I think I’m in love!

The Sun brand is a great group of snuffs. Some of the finest to come out of India.

You better get your Suns, as Nic Rush is the only seller, and with Pact, who knows what will happen.

Just ordered more!

@PhilipS For what it’s worth alcohol can cause your body to heat up if you’re properly acclimated to cold weather. The fact that you feel warmer when you drink alcohol is because your body is adapted to use alcohol to stave off hypothermia and frost bite. There are a couple mechanisms for this – one might be by reducing the rate at which your body burns fat (which is why alcohol can make you fater) but another is through brown cells which are a type of fat cell that will burn alcohol for heat. It’s only in modern times where we spend most of our time indoors that alcohol no longer has this effect on most people. Without exposure to cold temperatures, your body gets rid of brown cells when you’re still really young (in a warmer climate, you don’t need them). I don’t know how cold it gets in India but they do have the Himalayas up there where I’m sure people are naturally adapted to the cold and where alcohol would have a warming effect on the body. Another interesting fact is that diabetes is likely an adaptation to the cold, just like alcohol. This is one of the reasons diabetes is most prevalent in people who are [genetically] from colder climates. Indoor heating also potentially makes the condition worse. Not that I’m advocating everyone go live outside or anything – it just helps explain why humans are the way we are :).

@Unknown - I live in Mumbai. Any chances I can get hold of some of Sun Snuffs to buy and try?

Sun Snuffs no longer exist

:((

@newbiesnuffer. Usually the username “unknown” means the account was deleted for whatever reason. They delete the original name and put unknown as a placeholder.

Is there any way that these snuffs could be sold at Mr. Snuff? I don’t order from Germany anymore, some of the places don’t ship to the USA. I’d like to try Sun Snuff!

@tom502 Khaini and Upper lip tobacco products are banned in India.
