When scotches are too old they are dried out (yes, even drier than normal) and take on a musty taste.
Ok thanksā¦I donāt think it has a musty tasteā¦itās hella smoky and strong! Kind of reminds me of BBQ Corn Nuts. My wife doesnāt like being around me after I snuff thisā¦she says it stinks! The first time I tried this I took 2 small pinches, waited a few minutes, blew my nose and tried 2 more pinches. Big mistake! That kinda knocked my ass down for awhile! Does the cardboard container keep the snuff fresh or do I need to transfer it to another container? I was thinking about transfering it to an empty dip canā¦easy to transport that way. Let me know what u guys do!
For that one in particular, I get it under the Levi Garrett label (same snuff) in the brown bottles. I do have one of those in W. E.'s in cardboard in a clamping jar in the cellar. Iām sure it will keep well enough. I prefer the Swisher 'āflav-r-gauardā container, so If you intend to keep it long, perhaps you could transfer it to an empty one of those. Still, it should be fine in there for a few years if you keep the lid tight, and in a cool dry place.
I second that one, Xander. I have an old can of W.E. that Iāve had since I started which is coming on two years now and itās still as fresh as when it was purchased. One complaint, however, is that the top of the cardboard tube just under the lid gets bent making it difficult on ocassion the put the lid back on. -Kidnapper
I was thinking my can will last at least a year. How do they stay in buisness? I would only be spending about $4 a year for W.E.
@stinkboto: Thatās easy; most people dip it, in which case a can wonāt last too long. But itāll keep; no fear! Itās been jokingly (?) mentioned here that maybe all of these US dry snuff companies last ran their mills decades ago and what weāre getting is from a bulk silo last filled in 1956, heheheā¦
Also if its your only snuff, you coud empty the can in about 10 days.
Levi Garrett for me. I even have a piece of their factory on display in my house!!
Hey James I believe it! The retro style lookin labeling on these cans probably arenāt retroā¦they are the original 1956 cans!
levi garret is very goodā¦nice bbq
@stinkboto: the only hang to that theory being, they have modern Surgeon Generalās warningsā¦
ah-ha! You are right!
I wonder if the late Johnny Cash took snuff? Hereās one versa to one of his songs:- Our freckled faces sparkled then like diomands in the rough With smiles it smells of snaggleteeth and good old Garett snuffIf I could I would be tradinā all this fat back for the lean When Jesus was our Saviour and cotton was our king Edit: It was sung by J.C. & written by Billy Joe Shaver
I donāt know, but it wouldnāt suprise me if he hadnāt at least had it at some point, he did about everything else.
He grew up in rural Arkansas, and his family was very poor, so I am sure that if he didnāt have it then someone in his family did.
