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.
@philip As Tom said you didn’t like what I said but I hope you will like my snuff.
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.
@didi878 I am still waiting for your reviews. Kindly make it as and when convenient.
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.
@did878 Thanks a lot.
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.

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.
