Poschl red bull was the first one I tried and lowenprise was the first one I ordered, they ended up being my favorite from poschl, I still often buy this combo since they’re both better for different situations.

Tube rose was my first, only 8 months ago. From there i tried several American snuffs that are available locally. Superior, square, navy sweet, society, and still my favorite dental scotch. 3 months ago I bought a pipe from someone on another forum and he threw in some snuff for me. Thors Hammer, McChrystals sunset, special M, and toqe coffee. All wonderfully to me. Few months after that I introduced a friend to snuff. He immediately wanted to order some online so we did together. And here we are today…

Just over a year ago, late one night I raced to the nearest place selling snuff. I made my way through the crowd of tourists and low lying fog, sweating after my 90mph sprint along a dark stretch of Highway 1 and excited as hell about the one type of tobacco product I had never tried. It was quite fun, what with all the atmosphere and reckless driving making my heart race. Thankfully, I found the shop moments before they shut the door. My life would be changed soon after. I bought a tin of Silver Dollar Original. Back at the car, my first taste went too far back but the burn was not unpleasant. I instantly realized I was a fool for not buying more. I still love that snuff. Hopefully next time I order from Toque I can talk Roderick into selling me a bunch in bulk. If not, then maybe a bespoke order will work.

J.H. Wilson’s Medicated 99, New Year’s Eve 2009 I think. My father-in-law at the time went to buy some cigars and came out with snuff as well, on a whim. I was the only one that liked it! At the time I was smoking cigarettes, it took until 2012 for me to buy some more snuff and then I was hooked for a couple of years

No idea what sort it was. We always had a couple of snuff boxes in the house with some in, presumably from when my grandfather used it. I took the occasional pinch as a child. My grandfather died shortly before my third birthday, so, by the time I got around to it, it can’t have been terribly fresh. My mother always used the expression “throwing something around like snuff at a wake,” suggesting extravagance.

W.E. Garrett some ten years ago. Major fail. Didn’t learn to properly deal with American Scotches until several years later.

41P Himtaj Golden. I had ordered from 41 Photo, 6 Photo and Dholakia on the same day and it was the 41P order which was the first one to arrive. Himtaj Golden still is among my favourites.

I believe it was the WoS version of Dr Rumney about 5 years ago. Might have been Garrett Scotch.

W.E. Garrett Sweet. Was the only thing available locally…
Probably Fribourg & Treyer Bordeaux and/or Princes: courtesy of an inveterate snuff-taking uncle whose snuffbox was on offer every time we met.
But J&H Wilsons S.P No.1 was my first snuff purchase in 1964 or 1965 and from when I date the start of my snuffing career. I still remember the sheepish feeling when asking the proprietor of the local corner shop if he stocked snuff and the feeling of utter surprise when I was actually left clutching a little blue box. Crikey!
The decision to make a purchase was ultimately prompted by reading ‘Captain of Dragoons’ by Ronald Welch in which the protagonist, Charles, has a bitter-sweet relationship with snuff.
Later I discovered the House of Bewlay from which you could buy a ¼ ounce of snuff from their wide range of 2lb canisters served in little paper packets, or a small bottle of Smiths or a tin. Oh, the joy of discovery - equal to that experienced by Columbus, Magellan and Captain Cook on their global travels to distant and unexplored lands.
