I haven’t had Garrett but I’ve had other scotches. White Elephant is even more fine than scotch snuff, but if you can do scotches it shouldn’t be too difficult for you.
@crullers I have only tried the Garrett and dental. I’m not to fond of the scent of dental. It might even be stale, I’m pretty sure I’m the only one in my town that buys snuff.
White Elephant is made by 41 Photo. Cheetah is the strongest of 6 Photo and isn’t not beginner friendly. You can get a 50g bag of rustica here http://www.toquesnuff.com/index.php you might want Toque Quit also. Fubar Snafu has a decent kick,Fubar Grunt is worth trying And Fubar willie pete is about the finest grind you’ll find. Taxi Red is moist and heavy and packs a punch, after you get past the ammonia it has a barnyard scent you will either love it or hate it. Oh and SG does not do fruit snuffs well. Bernard Aecht Alt Schmalzler was my first Schmalzler and I loved it and order two more a week later. You can get carried away when beginning with snuff. yes it is less expensive than smoking and healthier for you. Enjoy the your journey and remember to take notes.

Oops, you’re right… trying to do too many things at once here :-B
@basement_shaman I can see how people go all out when beginning. I can’t seem to stop making orders lol. On another note I have a Tibetan copper snuff bottle coming in the mail. Have any experience with them? I would love to have a nice snuff box, but all of the vintage ones seem a little pricey. I am making an orange peel box at the moment.
I refuse to put snuff anywhere near copper. Save your money, Roderick will have some new Toque Flasks available soon. You could get one like this https://mrsnuff.com/product\_info.php?cPath=22\_24&products\_id=3513 hopefully @MrSnuff will get more of the Snuffhouse.org boxes in stock.
@basement_shaman too latel lol. It was only 8 dollars shipped, so if its a bust its not too much of a loss. I mainly got it because I like the way it looks. If it gives off a funny scent I’m sure I can find sometyhing to seal the inside with.
Copper oxidizes quickly and can be harmful.

@nicmizer I am well aware. But copper also has beneficial properties. I would be more worried about the smell than any possible “hazardous” effects.
Here is an interesting find on Ebay. An unopened bottle of Levi Garrett Scotch Rappee! Have any of our old-timers tried this one? https://www.ebay.com/itm/VTG-Levi-Garrett-Sons-Tobacco-Scotch-Rappee-Snuff-Bottle-unopened/292950745962?hash=item443539a36a:g:T1AAAOSwHQxcW6w0
