As the title says, I’m wondering how you determine what the grind is on a snuff, either planned for purchase or already in your possession. Looking at SnuffReviews.com, different reviews can give different opinions on something “simple” like the Grind. IE. McChrystal’s O&G. I find it much dryer and finer than the Ozona President and Raspberry I’ve tried, but when I went to educate myself on what the difference was, I found results ranging from Medium to Ultra-Fine… This info will help me make more educated decisions on the snuff I can take without coughing up a lung 
I usually compare “fine” to toasts, schmalzers as “coarse”, and anything in between as “medium” or “medium-coarse”. Some Snuffs strike me as medium-fine. What’s confusing to me as well, is that sometimes when I tap out lets say, Gletscher Prise, it appears to have the look and consistency in the nose of medium/coarse, but if I smooth it out (or “chop” it in a way) it appears more medium. I’m still confused as to how “grind” is determined. 
If I say ultra fine that is what I mean.
Since those German snuffs are moisturized with paraffin they probably seem more coarse than they are. I’d still rate them a medium grind. Your standard McChrystal’s, (or Wilsons of Sharrow, Toque, etc) grinds I’d rate medium to medium-fine. WoS are generally a little coarser mill than the other two. Nothing out there should be rated ultra-fine except for the white snuffs such as Dholakia White and its fellow pain inducing comrades.
many rating on snuffs are emotional. For example 6 photo special. It is very fine in reality but easy taking makes me feel like it is coarse. If a snuff is dry and hits your throat then it is on the finer side and if the moisture is somewhat high and does not hit your throat then it is on the coarser side.
I find that the consistency of the grind is more important to me than size of the grind.

Good breakdown, I appreciate it. Is there a good guide out there explaining those different “keywords”: Toast, Schmalzers, etc? @basement_shaman

An Answer at face value, I like it. 
After seeing some of your comments in this forum and then seeing your reviews on SnuffReviews, I’m inclined to think you know what you’re talking about…
