Hi all, I’ve been snuffing since mid December and am loving it. So far I’ve tried; McChrysyals - O&G WoS - Irish Toash 22 WoS - Best SP J&HW - SP No1 Viking - Brown Viking - Menthol SG - Black Rappee The McC was good though I think I would prefer it a bit courser. Irish toast whilst I like the flavour, I just can’t seem to snuff it without getting a lung full (not nice). The best SP is again too dry/fine for me. The SP No1 was so so. Nothing great. Now both the Vikings are great it terms of moistness and grind. Perfect for me! I only wish that the menthol hit was a bit more like the McC. The black Rappee is a great snuff, corse and moist with a lovely aroma but the drip is really harsh!! As the title suggest I’ve been reading a lot, loads of information!! Currently have my snuff in the fridge in small glass bottles save the SG which is in its 25g tin. I’ve read a bit about blending snuffs but would like to know if anyone had a though about mixing 5g of WoS best SP with the 25g of black Rappee? Also does anyone have a recommendation of a menthol like Viking that has a kick like McC O&G or would a mixture of the 2 be any good? Thanks you to the forum owner and all who submit content, it really is a great place.
Should of mentioned that the Best SP is a really nice flavour I just wish I could get it to the right part of my noise not throat. Hence the mix idea.
Welcome to your forum. stick with the moist snuffs until you develop your technique. You can always hydrate dry snuff to the moisture level you need indirectly .
Hi and thanks. What would you recommend as the best method for hydrating a dryer snuff? I read that a bottle cap of water in a box with the snuff seems to work. Thanks.
Where were you when I had cheese and, bacon on my first order @basement_shaman?
@Igglet sorry I wasn’t there for you. I was in the hospital having my pancreatic cancer cut out. Can you pardon me?
Making me feel bad now @basement_shaman. You were here when I first tried snuff though. I just never asked anyone for recomends on first snuffs.
My method of hydrating (or rehydrating) snuff, buy a small atomiser fill it with distilled water and spray a few fine mist over the snuff and stir in with a clean implement.

Maybe try & aim the snuff to the front part of your nose & inhale gently, it may help to avoid the throat hit. Also some folk recommend dropping yor jaw when you inhale too.
Thanks. Will give it a go.

Guessing tap water is a no go?
No on the tap water. Too much stuff in it and nastiness like mold can happen. Stay with the distilled water.
Thank you.
@Pablo If you like the scent of the WoS Best SP but find it difficult to take, you might give Tom Buck a go. I have exactly the same issue with Best SP, but for some reason not wwith Tom Buck.
Thanks. Will put it in my next order.

Excuses, excuses.
Ever thought about giving some Indian snuff’s a try? Was a real eye opener for me. Dholakia do a pretty good range and if you fancy something more fragrant you could go for Kailash.
Thanks, will pop a few on my next order.
