since I live in the usa, most of what we here in the midwest, (missouri, st. joseph ) is GARRETT sweet or plain. I gotta admit ILOVE THE SWEET!!!. the plain is smokey and it hits your sinus like a sledgehammer!!! I aint kidding! the plain will knock your socks off.tHINK matthew quigley on steroids . BURNS LIKE A BUGGER…i MEAN IT…Like snorti ng habanaro PEPPER I mean it!!!..I am an american, but I gotta admit. USA snuffs are as OKEY DOKEY…BUT, they are rough. by that I mean really hard to whiff.Unless you are a rough hombre…LEAVE EM BE…
DONT MEAN TO BE A BITCH, but unless you are one tough bugger. Save your money and buy whatever you love. USA scotches are rough and thru mr snuf f among others they are expensive unless you live in the USA. and buy locally. Not kicking MR SNUFF, love em. But USA scotches are like whiffing cayenne pepper. buy something else
Noses vary @graybeard19 There isn’t a Scotch I dislike and I dont find them rough at all nor consider myself a tough hombre 
@graybeard19 just takes practice. 
I love my scotches, and I do have a soft spot for Garrett since they began here in northern Delaware, just about 5 miles from where I live. They are also the oldest and the model on which American scotches are based. Also its the most widely available snuff in the US. Having said all of that, most of them bear some measure of smokeyness, and they all -even the sweets, have such a fine character that it will burn. Unless, that is, you have gotten the practice down to a technique. Once you do, snuffing a scotch can be quite delightful and painless. I must say though, that Square, Three Thistle and Rooster have very distinctive character. I also quite enjoy Superior, Tops and Dental. Of course Starr has made a name for itself just by being so damn plain, but strong all the same. I encourage all memebers who are interested in these snuffs to post requests on the trades thread for specific snuffs. (All US snuffs names should be up to date in the FAQ if you need the reference. If you do know some I don’t have in there, please PM me to get the database accurate.) Many US members have access to variety and can help fellow snufftakers to broaden their horizons. We have established the trades thread as an “Announcement” on this site becuase we want to encourage the camraderie it creates as well as the abiltiy to share otherwise unobtainable snuffs through informal channels. This is not to undersell MrSnuff, as he has a great deal of red tape to deal with. I’m sure Dave there only carries them as a service to the snuff community who have no access to these via formal channels. He’s making little to no profit on those, and would probably rather not deal with them except for the fact that he likes us.
@Xander since you live in the U.S have you tried the Dental Plain Scotch? It’s a bit like a milder version of bruton but with it’s own character, on the tube it says that it can’t be sold outside of the united states and I haven’t seen it on Mr. Snuff or on snuffreviews.com so I don’t know if anyone has heard of it abroad.
W. E. Garrett has the same restriction printed on the label (for some unfathomable reason). I have seen Dental offered on Mr. Snuff.com, it is currently out of stock (just checked). If it gets restocked, it is listed under the Conwood heading in the American Snuffs section.
@Ourlastdeafeat, Yes I have some here. I like it. A nice not too strong-not too weak, not too smokey-not too plain flavor. Its a good medium mild Scotch and close to Tops and Ralph’s, though Ralph’s is less enjoyable than both. I think I’ve tried all the scotches and determined my favorites. In this mild class, either Dental or Tops will suit me as a permanent representative. The labeling as you quote has only appeared in the last year and is due to tax regulations. Basically its saying the tax on that unit has been paid for the jurisdiction in which it was sold. When I smoked cigarettes but bought them on ships outside of US waters they always stated “for sale only outside the US.” These were essentially in a separate tax jurisdiction. I understand military bases have the same. Since there is such a small demand for such a product, I doubt that it is exported through any formal channels. Anyway, when Mr. Snuff and the much missed Nicotine Rush were selling from the US, and prior to the regrettable language of the PACT legislation, I think a fair number of our overseas compatriots had a chance to sample the various US offerings, including Dental. For now, we must rely on our own ingenuity to share such pleasures. We owe it to them really.
I enjoy the icepick to the back of the head hit from Garrett plain when taking a big sniff. It wakes me up when I am fighting the 4am low on night shift waiting for my 2nd wind to kick in.
I’am waiting till I see an american snuff in a shop before I buy.
I went out and picked up a tin of Garrett plain, I gotta admit I was taking way too big of a pinch before. Now I tried it with better results. Not too bad, still prefer the sweet, but I can see where this is a good one to have about…guess this old dog can learn new tricks.
If you can take the Toque toasts without a problem, you’ll do alright with American scotches, I would think. We generally try to warn newbies to steer clear of them, but not all newbies listen. (Myself included – the first snuffs I ever bought were Garrett Sweet and Red Seal.) Just take small pinches at first, and be prepared for an eye-watering burn, and perhaps a coughing fit, if you sniff too deeply. You’ll do OK.
