@ Carol, I would also add Starr Scotch to the list of very mellow scotches. It packs a good nic hit, but a few here seem to think it’s too plain. However, I think its delightfully palatable and certainly one I can use all day.
i got used to the smokiness and the BBQ taste. at first it was almost offensive to me it was so strong but with trying different ones I’ve all but forgotten about the BBQ and I have come to crave the smokiness at times. It depends what’s on my mind when I reach for a scotch.
I must be a pansy…I LOVE the american sweets. Espically Buttercup and Honey Bee. Although Rooster, a scotch, has its place in my rotation. Yes you do get used to the bbq in a short time.
I Really Like Honey Bee, but I have to admit, I would of never tried it, if Tom would not have gave me it as my free snuff, from my last order with him. Thanks Tom!
@parrots, I hope liking the sweet scotches doesn’t make you a pansy. If so I should start wearing a dress. While I have since grown to love all the scotches, it was the sweets that got me interested. I’ve since branched out though and now I have all the US snuffs Nicotine Rush offers except for the two Dental scotches from Conwood.
No we aren’t pansys. Pansys don’t consume American snuffs. American snuffs are pretty much hard core. I ordered the sampler pack from nicotine rush last year and that was my first experiance with them. I rushed to open my package, pulled out the honey bee, opened the smashbox and learned quickly that there is a certain way to open them. I got some snuff on that thin outter lip so I figured that I would sniff it off that rim so it wouldn’t go to waste. Old stupid me actually got my nostrils OVER the edge and into the smashbox and I took a huge hit from the pile in the box. My head exploded but it tasted great. I was high the rest of the day and was still buzzin till I went to bed that evening. I laffed at myself all day for my stupid mistake…and still do. It turned out to be a good mistake tho. The sweets are my favorites. Glad I didn’t do that with the Rooster. lol
@PremiumParrots lol im not laughing at you, im laughing with you 
Funny story…lol
I’ve only had Bruton and Rooster, and I love my Rooster quite a bit. @Parrots: I was showing my (drunk) friend some Dholakia Swiss Chocolate, and when I offered a pinch to him, he took the container and in a drunken stupor placed his nose into the snuff and took a great big snort. The aftermath was quite humorous. I told him he could keep the tin after that, btw.
I was at coffee last night and my friend was asking what tins I had brought along (he’s intrigued by snuff but not interested in trying it), and he pointed to my black smashbox and asked what that one was. I handed it to him as one might hand over a loaded handgun: “THIS is the ROOSTER.” He took a whiff, coughed, and handed it to his wife, who was a bit buzzed. “I can’t smell anything,” she said, then put her nose juuuuust above the snuff and took a sharp sniff. Ka-POW! My first accidental snuffing victim. She managed to laugh with us too, after she got control of her sneezing fit…
Carol, The smoke flavor used to bother me, I like it better now, but still can’t take it all day. I find Standard to be the least smokey so far. Cheers
I love Levi Garrett and Dental Mild. And all the others as well!!
I think I prefer these in the mouth.
(talk about setting yourself up for ‘out of context quote’! @ Tom502
It won’t be the first time.
Agreed Bart… Tom that just way to funny not to make the top 10 “out of context quotes”
Tc- I find it easy and has a good taste. I haven’t done it in a while, and was never a dipper, but I liked this more than the standard popular dips. It takes a little getting used to, as it’s a dry powder, but one you dump a bit in the lid, and dump that in your lip, it smooths out well, spit as needed. My understanding is it was 1st a nasal, coming from Europe, but somewhere down the line, was used orally. In the old US Smokeless book, which is linked here in the articles section, it talks about Bruton snuff, and how it was found to be better in the mouth, and led to the development of Copenhagen snuff.
I don’t mind it every once in a while for a change. I dip Copenhagen and Stokers quite a bit. The only things I say are lacking is the burn that I like and many of the dry snuffs don’t have much to offer as far as flavor. I also find myself giving it a push with my tongue from time to time, like I do with my dip or chew. You ever stick your tongue in a sandbox? Very similar…
I agree, the US Snuffs used as dip are pretty bland. I also didn’t get much nicotine satisfaction from them.
thats because you didn’t mix them with baking soda
That is one beast I have not tired to tame. I believe that it was MrMaroon that educated me on that one!
