What's the point of White Elephant?

I’ve not bothered chasing this snuff because I’ve read it’s very similar to D.White. As DW is readily available, why the enthusiasm for WE on this forum?

I find WE to be better than DW. It tastes better and find it has a better nic hit, its also finer grind than DW if you can believe its possible

Man what collection is complete without this one? Just kidding, it is better than D white, has to be respected. Cool tin though.

same fishy smell?

For me it was one more snuff for the collection. A little bit pricy but worth it to me. I really enjoy having a variaty of snuffs. @Mike B. nope doesnt have that strong fish smell the DW has imo.

Cheers. Don’t think i’ll bother. DW will do me just fine. If MrSnuff gets WE, then I’ll buy it.

Yuck

I bought some and the first time I tried it I felt like someone hit me in the face with a frozen boot. Damn! Still haven’t developed a taste for it but I have learned that my tastes change so not getting rid of it and I have no buyer’s remorse over the deal. I love my snuff collection!

after useing both the WE and the DW for a few months now I can see a world of difference in the taste. At this point they are pretty much the only snuffs that I use and I’m really leaning to the WE as my favorite. Just my opinion tho. There are hundreds of different snuffs out there to use for a reason…everyone has different tastes. But ddavelarsen is correct, ones tastes do change over time.

What’s the point having 400 snuffs and then dissing one particular snuff?

I’m not dissing any snuffs. I just can’t be arsed with snuffs I can only get through trades or non retailers.

I simply can’t see any point in these kind of threads. Some people got some rare snuff via private trade, which is the oldest form of trade.

No need to be negative because I see things differently to you. :slight_smile:

I think AllanH touched on one of the reasons people are so hyped about their WE; its rarity. The stuff is truly hard to come by, so its reasonable to get excited when the opportunity presents itself. I think, anyway. :slight_smile:

That’s a fair point but I don’t really care about rarity.

Dholakia created the White snuff because there was so much interest in White Elephant.

If WE is so fabulous I’m sure it’ll be available from online snuff stores eventually. Then I’ll buy it.

I’m gonna have to try DW one of these days too, just to see the difference and find out what everyone’s raving about.

The Germans raved about it for years.

I’ve seen way too many respected noses rave about it to pass it up! Maybe when the cash is rite I’ll get me sum…if my man has any left that is…$15 a tin shipped really isn’t that bad for sum nearly impossible to get snuf that is apparently otherworldy. Jus my .02 and in no way aimed at anyone. EVERYBODY is entitled to my opinion…lol!
