I doubt that I’m the only one who desires a high nicotine snuff first thing in the morning. For the past week or so I’ve found that there is no bigger nicotine blast than first taking a small pinch of Hedges L260 (I love having a strong menthol to start the day), then a bigger pinch of Swisher Checkerberry along with my morning Earl Grey tea. If that doesn’t wake you up, nothing will. If there is a snuff with a higher nicotine level than Checkerberry I’ve yet to encounter it. (I suppose Maccoboy is equally strong, but I can’t stand it.) For the rest of the day I mainly use plain toasts and SPs. What are your favorite morning snuffs?

NTSU probably is the strongest nicotine content snuff out there. I found this thread interesting because as a lifetime nonsmoker, recent new snuffer I started to WAAAY over do it. I never really got addicted or much tolerant to anything, not that I tried much beyond the occasional drink, some coffee and a handful of cigars in my life. Anyhow, it crept up on me, needing more and more to get less effect until I found myself stopping because it didn’t do much of anything except make my nose drip. Unfortunately, stopping made me very, very irritable, and it just wouldn’t stop! I had to do it early morningbecause I felt withdrawal symptoms but then I slowly taperd down and this week I have since backed off and been off it for 2 days without much negative consequence. I will be wiser in the future! In other words, I don’t think a first morning snuff is good because it means you are getting dependent, and with it, increasing doses and decreasing effect. IMHO, I have found it is better to go a few days without here and there, only use consistently for at most one day a week, and then save it for special moments to get you going or with a nice beer or something like that. You get a much stronger effect, and you don’t find yourself in awkward situations where all of a sudden you are irritable for what seems like no good reason. To do it too often makes you have to physically rely on snuff and that is not good to have to rely on it, plus the tolerance makes it less “special”. IMHO of course.

@Nicola: Try tethering your preaching. It’s nice to hear your experiences, but some of us don’t mind being ‘dependent’ on snuff, and many of us are using it or have used it, to stave other more harmful nicotine habits. Some bridges, you don’t know you’re crossing until you’ve crossed 'em- and what that bridge looks like or how to travel back from it or even when to, is different for everyone. I’m sure the users here are aware of their nicotine use/dependency/lack thereof, and aren’t in need of a Nicotine Addiction 101- and if we are, maybe it’s best saved for a separate thread. Back on topic: In the mornings I find myself returning again and again to McChyrstal’s O&G over anything else- I just received it in the mail recently and I don’t know how I got on without it. It seems to gently open up my nasal passages, so that I can clear out my nose with amazing ease when I take my morning shower. (‘Morning’ is kind of relative, since I don’t wake up until late in the evening as I work during the wee hours.) I’m looking forward to a strongly scented clove or eucalyptus to try in the mornings as a wake-up call, as well. I like a bit of menthol when I wake up, and also right before work, and try to save super floral stuff for after dinner, while I like fruits best for frolicking. I wanna know what other wake-me-up scents people prefer, too!

I agree that dependency is best left avoided, but that is neither here nor there. I simply really enjoy that nicotine hit in the morning. I can then go most of the day without using any snuff. But then I was the same way when I smoked cigarettes. For the last year of my smoking I had 4 or 5 cigarettes per day, maximum; then, for the last few months, just one cig per day – in the morning. I am curious: why did you decide to use snuff? It seems that most of us here got into snuff or snus in order to break our smoking habits. It is unusual to hear about someone who comes to snuff having never been a smoker.

Dependent, hell yes I’m dependent! Understood, accepted and dealt with. Enjoying snuff? Oh my yes! Fresh nose in the morning, still learning and appreciating what the various snuffs have to offer, my 1st pinch of the day is usually what ever I haven’t used recently. After a couple of pinches of the morning “study”, I’m finding Rooster or WoS IHT is my wake up call of preference. The day and my mood dictate from there

@Kiestraak: You may want to try Wilsons of Sharrow Aniseed & Eucalyptus. That is, if you like anise. (I love it, but I know a lot of people do not!)

The strongest clove is surely McChrystal’s.

WoS Aniseed Extra is the best snuff to use, simply because it is so strong that it can burn your nose hair right off, and who wouldn’t wake up after so much pain??

@Kjoerup: Thanks for the recommendation! And I do like anise, to the dismay of those close to me, who all hate it(haha). I just don’t think I have hardly any snuff that includes it, except for maybe Toque’s Absinthe, which I went through half a tin of in less than a week. Looks like I’ll be starting another list of snuffs to pick up. Xander: So I’ve heard! I just placed an order for that a couple of days ago, too.

@Kiestraak: McChrystal’s also makes a very nice Anisette snuff. The Dholakia aniseed/menthol is a blast as well. I absolutely love all things anise and absinthe, and I can go through a large tin of Toque Absinthe like there is no tomorrow. I may also be the only person in the universe who simultaneously enjoys drinking absinthe AND snuffing Toque Absinthe. Yes, I’m that bad.

For me it’s either a toast or ganga I prefer first. Why because before I wake up if I don’t realize to take it easy I’ll snort instead of sniffing and that doesn’t jive with me well. So a fine snuff forces me to be carefull. Plus something about either pure tobac scent or rose seems to put me in a good mood.

I agree with the McC Clove in the morning, usually with a hit of some scotch before–Standard, Honest, Three Thistles, etc… I like to walk out to work in the cold winter air with the clove scent coming alive in my nose. I’m not too worried about addiction to snuff personally. Folks in my family haven’t generally lived too long, as a rule. Heart trouble, cancer. I’ve cut down my risks considerably when I quit smoking, and this is something I enjoy in various ways, so I plan on doing it for some time. Better than 1 1/2- 2 packs of Luckies a day I figure.

Not preaching here at all! Will explain. I used to enjoy the occasional cigar or pipe bowl. I even smoked maybe a few dozen cigarettes in all my life. It was gross. I liked the nicotine, and still remember enjoying some really strong cigars with brandy, what nice nights I had! I stopped because the effect was too short lived, impractical, socially frowned upon and smoking, at least to me, not only was disgusting, but also made me feel gross, wheezy (whether I inhaled or not I may add). Also, I noticed that the effects of smoked tobacco were, with a few exceptions, too short to be worthwhile and that tolerance grew quickly. I rapidly became bored except the occasional quality cigar, and even there I haven’t had one in maybe 3-4 years. Lately I have encountered a rather trying period. Life is good, it’s a long story, but I’m a bit stuck in a rut and need a bit more energy to complete tasks that otherwise would bore me but are necessary. Long term outlook very good, but the next 2-3 years will be dull and busy… so I remembered how much I enjoyed snuff a few years ago and found it to be the most satisfying tobacco product, but most of what I tried were weak Ozonas and after local tobacconists stopped carrying it, by default I stopped. Certainly it was nothing like a few large hits of Dholakia white and then a 2-3 pinch per nostril NTSU chaser. If it’s of any help, I tend to take strong snuffs infrequently but in HUGE amounts, I’m talking like half the back of your hand covered all at once etc for a nice lasting “charge”. That is how you first get addicted because you want to feel like that all the time. Not realizing as I was doing more and more, one day I didn’t do it for whatever reason, and I was profoundly irritable like I have never been; note that it is very out of character for me to be irascible like I was. What broke the cycle is that eventually, doing more and more did nothing at all… no, Nicotine gets to the point where no matter how much is done further effect is zero, and that is not where I wanted to be. So I tapered down to the point where I can go a few days without any change in how I feel, but after a few good huge pinches, I feel that “first pinch” feeling that lasts a long time. At least to my very beginner, tobacco naive eyes, it seems to me if a given “substance” stops making you feel good and starts to be needed just to feel normal, maybe it’s a sign to back off a bit so you can start to enjoy it again. No offence or preaching meant…to each his/her own etc, but I feel that it’s more fun if you actually get a nice strong effect every time you do it instead of doing it out of “habit” or to avoid being sick, that’s all.

Part II. Sorry for long-windedness, but I thought a good intro might help others understand and not take offense from my point of view. After some thought, I think the main difference between nonsmokers who snuff and smokers who switch is this: 1. Smokers switch because they want an alternative that they perceive to be as safer, or at least is easier, cheaper and feels less sickening, to get nicotine that they really don’t want to do without, buzz or not. 2. Nonsmokers who start to snuff do so for enjoyment of the “rush” without necessarily wanting or needing nicotine in their system all the time. I am the latter, so at least to me, I don’t need the constant level so much as desire the “rush” when needed. Of course, this doesn’t make it any less addicting if you’re not careful!!! I think this would help clarify a lot from where I’m coming from… and from what I have read (been lurking since September) I think the majority of the forum is in category #1. Nothing wrong with that, it’s just a different expectation.

@nicola037: This is getting off topic, but as a former smoker, I snuff because I enjoy snuff. Simple as that. If I wanted to smoke again, I’d smoke. For me, there is zero correlation between my old smoking habit and my current snuff partaking. I enjoy snuff for its own sake, pure and simple. I don’t use snuff because it is, as you allege, “safer, or at least is easier, cheaper and feels less sickening, to get nicotine that they really don’t want to do without, buzz or not.” I feel that it is outright disingenuous of you to state that the “majority” of people at this forum are here only because they are grudgingly using snuff as a safer and less expensive alternative to cigarettes. No. We are here because we enjoy snuff. Perhaps for some people, somewhere, snuff is a poor substitute for cigarettes, but I frankly have not seen such people at this forum. And why would they come here? A poor substitute is just that, and will likely be short-lived and devoid of any enthusiasm – and that is not the nature of the posts you read at this forum. In your initial post on this thread you came off as surprised that you were starting to develop a dependency on the highly addictive drug you chose to use. Allow me to state the obvious: well, what did you expect? Now, how you choose to deal with that is your own business. Whether you take one tiny pinch per day or use up a 50g container every hour is your own affair, and I believe that everyone at this forum respects that it is indeed your own business.

You sound cranky! Maybe you’re in snuff withdrawal?

I completely agree with kjoerup. And it’s not right to post a comment bashing anybody on this forum because for one, it’s a forum for the takers/enjoyers of snuff, not some group of highly drug addicted, gross set if people looking for the next best fix, and second of all, if we wanted to hear how bad people think nicotine and tobacco is there are plenty of other places to get a helping of that bull****. Excuse the language. I respect your right to your own opinion, but not to putting down of members including myself.

I always start the day with a pinch of McC O&G

I used to have an unusual smoking habit. For many years, I would go for a long run in the morning, and then afterwards (about three hours after waking up) really relished my first menthol cigarette of the day. I never liked to smoke until I’d gotten my excercise in. I have a blood disorder that causes my blood/iron levels to be much higher than normal, so even with smoking for 37 years, I had exceptional oxygen uptake. In any case, my first snuff of the day has to be menthol or mint; my favorite morning snuff is McC O&G (just ordered one of the large tubs), but sometimes I’ll go for a pinch of Hedges, sometimes I enjoy a little President, and in the summer, sometimes Crumbs of Comfort really hits the spot. To me, the snuff is just so much more sensually enjoyable than a smoke. In the evening, I typically enjoy a few whiskeys and ales, and Toasts, Scotches and SP’s do nicely then. BTW, if anyone is into highly “hopped” beers like most varieties from my favorite American brewery, Sierra Nevada, might I suggest the unique deKralingse A/P: the woody, resinous “pine” character of the snuff really complements the hops in the ale.

The only time smoking was sickening for me was when I was 12 or 13. After that it got better and better. I never intended to quit by using snuff. I never intended to quit at all. I just found it less appealing over time. And smoke or snuff, I get a “rush” every time. I don’t always get a “buzz” but always a “rush”. I don’t think you can put half a can up your nose at once to get a better and better fix, it will all just go down your throat. Its an addictive drug, sure, but its not like chasing the dragon in heroin. Addiction is not neccesarily a bad thing. I think, not sure though, that I’m addicted to food and water too. Possibly even sleep. I know I get cranky and feel afwul if I don’t get them for awhile. I’ll have to look into this further. Oh, first snuff in the morining is usually an English menthol. Its pretty much the only time I use menthol regularly.

I side with nicola037 on nicotine management. His are obviously words of experience. I do notice his first post edited. If it was done to delete offense then please accept that as an apology. Nicotine 101 in my opinion IS a very useful subject and can help with the enjoyment of using snuff. Withdrawal symptoms should be known and duly noted. OTD got it right mentioning the fresh morning nose. The first snuff of the day can be one of the most enjoyable. This forum is enlightening and can raise awareness for those interested. Let us not kid ourselves regarding all sides of the story. Also see the old thread “first snuff of the day” for other comments on this topic.

Used to use WOS Gold Label first thing every morning, but now I do a nice Scotch like Navy or Garrett.

I find a nice plain, not highly flavored snuff is what I use most. Toque Quit this morning. Same yesterday. Tomorrow? Who knows? Maybe Plain Toast or HDT. I haven’t started a day without a nicotine hit in over 25 years, why stop now? Heavily flavored snuffs interfere with the flavor of my morning coffee and snus routine. I used to smoke 3 cigs in that first 30 minutes, now a snus and a couple of pinches of snuff and I’m golden and ready to face the day. I didn’t start snuff to get away from smoking. I didn’t even really start snus to get away from smoking. I was using snus to get me through to my next cig. I found over a short period I preferred snuff and snus to smoking.

Usually O&G or a mix of SM Blue and Camphor & Mild for me first thing though sometimes it’s Zip or CM.

It depends on which tin is by my bedside in the morning - currently it would either be Hedges L260 or WoS IHT #22.

One more for O&G in the morning. I just took my morning pinch now! I do sometimes use Hedges L260 as an alternate, but those two are my favorites in the morning.

My first snuff of the day is almost always an SP but it’s not always in the morning. I get my “fix” from a sterk snus with my morning coffee (usually decaf) then the days are different after that. The snuff/snus combination changes with the tasks of the day. J&H Wilson’s SP No.1 or SG HM SP1 does it for me…then again I often reach for the Grand Cairo. There’s something about this trio that really makes me grin.

I always star with O&G, no other reason except routine I guess. @kjoerup - I came to snuff without ever having been a ‘smoker’. I’d tried cigarettes every now and again but I found snuff so intriguing and interesting I decided to give it a go. Now I’m hooked, but that’s not a problem, it’s a habit I thoroughly enjoy!

Hedges L260 first thing, everyday, without fail. In fact, I use Hedges L260 for the first 4 hours of the day everyday. O&G follows late morning and an SP with lunch.

TAXI Red these days. It gives me what I need. I’m usually taking any coarse snuff near my bed, that I can mindlessly snort in large amounts. There is nothing better than morning nicotine.

Any medicated snuff’ll do in morning, now I have WoS S.M. and Lowen-Prise opened.

‘# 17: You sound cranky! Maybe you’re in snuff withdrawal?’ Wow, back to the school yard, huh? Kjoerup gets defensive and you dismiss it as him ‘just being his crazed addicted self’? Sheesh. Who knew he wouldn’t be able to talk about a morning pinch, on a snuff forum no less, without it turning into a moral shatstorm, though I commend the other forum members for moving on and getting back on topic. I guess that makes me the hiccup for bothering to mention being mildly appalled. That said, I just woke up, and tried deKralingse a/p this time, and while sobering, it’s also a bit overbearing first thing in the morning. When my next order comes in, I’ll have to take what OTD mentioned into account and try new ones upon waking to see how they fair in a nose that isn’t ghosting anything… !!! In that sense, the nose is almost a wee bit like a briar pipe, whatwith cleaning it/airing it out and ‘ghosting’ previous snuffs for a period of time.

Well, I’ve only got 3 at my disposal so far, but I really enjoy G&H Dry Orange. Nothing earth shattering about the snuff itself, but that “lack of character” really blends well with the morning vibe.

I am very new to snuff and am enjoying trying all the different types out there. I am a x-smoker and started using snuff because the electronic cigarette was just not cutting it for me. I probably use a different snuff every morning, lately I have been using mostly the Dutch Windmill snuffs as I really love them and they seem to have the nicotine needed to make me feel content. This morning it was the Windmill BonBon from the latest sample I got with my order. Good stuff! Love snuff!

Another vote for O&G here. Also JH Wilsons 99

O&G

I prefer WoS #22 or other toasted snuff in the morning. Goes great with coffee.

The first wake me up snuff is usually McC’s Supermint. Its an eye opener

Pretty interesting that so many prefer O&G in the morning. Myself included. I posted on another thread that I have a new found appreciation for medicated snuff, so I’ve gotten a few to try that are popular around here. Honey Menthol, L260, O&G, Toque Menthol, Rumney’s Export, President. Of these the O&G is the only one my nose can handle comfortably in the morning. Nothing so toning as a pinch of O&G after the morning routine and breakfast. Simply divine.

I’m currently abusing Wilsons Honey Menthol at wakeup and before bed.

I like to mix it up. Whatever sounds appealing on a given morning, that is what I grab. I tend to lean towards snuffs that clear out my nose.

A menthol! Ozona President, Gletscher Prise, Magnet Menthol, SG Menthol, Rumney’s Export-- I’ll follow it up with an American Scotch if I wish for more nicotine.

used to be WOS Gold Label but now an American Scotch to get the nic level up.

I don’t usually like sweet scotches, but Red Seal is nice in the morning while I wait for my coffee to brew. Ralph’s is nice for me in the morning too, then I usually switch to Railroad Mills for the rest of the day followed by an evening of High Dry Toast.

Mood and craving dictate pinch but l260 or wos menthol plus to open my flood gates then rooster, bee or another american scotch to get me functioning.

QwS Irish Coffe for that nice morning nicotine. It complements a nice cup of coffee nicely, also. After that, it’s pretty much whatever smells good.

Hedges L260, then F & T IHT with coffee

Dholakia White is a good starter. Nice slap to the back of the head for a great “wake up” call.

I’ve been liking a menthol snuff 1st thing, well, not first thing, but first snuff. I usually have a snus and coffee, and then when I get situated, I have a snuff. Currently it’s been Blast Strong Menthol when I get to work. I also was not a regular tobacco user when I started snuff and snus. Though I was a regular smoker at times, but I had basically quite, apart from binge smoking to accompany binge drinking, maybe 3 times a month. But I got into it, I think, mainly because my desk job is very non-eventful, and I was curious to “do something”, as was contemplating getting some Skoal Bandits, and did some net search, and found Camel snus, and went to the corner gas station and got some, it really knocked me out just about. Then I got into Swedish snus, but it all about knocked me out, and I got some nasal snuff in an exchange with snus, and I loved that, so I quit snus and took up snuff, then for a period, which seems now to have passed, I would get terrible congestion, so I tried snus again, and that time it stuck. So, I now regularly use snus and snuff, and I don’t smoke at all. I might quit it all someday, but right now, I like it. I was never a dipper/chewer in the past, but I’ll do that at times now too.

At this point, F&T Bordeaux is really hitting the spot first thing.

i’ve been suing WoS S.M. 500. cleans me right out after about 10 minutes. Clears the way for all the tasty Toque and Scotches I use all day long.

Levi Garrett. Just can’t seem to get into menthol. Might have to try some McChrystals clove one day though.

Used to be Wilsons Raspberry. Now O&G.

Lately Red Seal. Drains the old sinuses tremendously.

@k5btp, don’t wait until “one day”, order some right now!! You will like it, I bet.

McClove is powerful. I love it. Must get a drum someday.

Usually something like WoS Lavender or Rose followed by hard hitting #22

Throw a hand out of bed. Allways lands on Samuel Gawith’s Black Coffee snuff. A good sniff in both nostrils. Get up and head towards the kitchen. Trip over the dog. While I am thinking about it, trip over the second dog. Throw a cup of french coffee down my throat. Find the Wilsons Gold Label and load up both nostrils with that. I am starting to become conscious. The coffee kicks in, the nicoteen kicks in and the day looks great.

Toque blueberry menthol

EBONY STAR-1 part of ntsu + 1 part dholakia black + 1/2 part of Hedges l260 it wakes and refreshes me up.Lovely!!!A real blast!!!

I like to start the morning off with a pinch of McChristals English Menthol.

Silly me, I still like SG Black Coffee with my black coffee, Then a bit more of same when I get to work. Double hit sits well for me.

Dholakia Medicated or McChrystals OG are good starters…In the morning I usually take something what moisturize my nose pleasantly…after that comes something stronger, Taxi or Sparrow to crank up

Nothing in particular, Wos prime minister ,dynamite,redbull,6 Photo 666, if I am stuffy, other wise what ever is in rotation. I do dig some SG Black coffee with my Black coffee complements perfectly

Poschl Gawith Apricot. It was the first snuff I bought when I came back to snuff and I just find that little blast of menthol in the morning wakes me up and clears the nose. I now have a good range of snuffs for the rest of the day - none of which contain menthol - but I do keep returning to the Poschl for the first sniff of the day. Just to have some variety would anyone care to recommend a snuff with a similar level of menthol? I don’t want any blast my head off with menthol and preferably something that has additional flavours rather than just straight menthol. Any suggestions will be gratefully received.

A big thick pinch of Taxi Red. :-bd

F&T HDT has been treating me well. Sometimes FUBAR Medic.

a breakfast “meal”… Toque’s Toast & Marmalade with Wow’s Coffee Bite.

a breakfast “meal”… Toque’s Toast & Marmalade with Wow’s Coffee Bite.

A great idea! Perhaps one day there will be snuffs available in Earl Grey Tea, Bacon ‘n’ eggs, Kippers, and Porridge flavours…?

@AustinAllegro … there’s always Toque’s “Cheese and Bacon” …

My first snuff of the day is usually Quit but sometimes I will start off with a good menthol like Red Bull, No. 666, or WoS Extra Menthol. A strong menthol will clear the cobwebs out.

Wilson of Sharrow Crumbs of Comfort is my morning snuff, occasionally some SG Black Coffee or Snuff Store Cafe Noir

A Big pinch of Dholakia Sparrow sure opened my eyes this morning.

Red Seal Sweet has been my morning snuff for awhile but I’m really liking the McC clove.

F&T HDT or WoS IHT 22 I need me a nice toast in the morning.

abraxas fin lately. Which my main snuffs lately have been both draguns abraxas fin and the bernards in the yellow box.

Usually a minty one so WoS Prime Minister, Super Menthol or Red Bull, if I am really bunged up its Hedges L260, worse in summer due to hay fever, thats where it all started for me and just carried it on as it perks me up.

Now that it is getting cold my first snuff of the day is a strong menthol. @Skell18 Red Bull is a morning favorite and sometimes WoS Extra Menthol or Dynamite. As I leave the house I will have a pinch or two of a Scotch or a Toast on my walk to the subway to add to the menthol. Normally I take 3 snuffs to work and lately it has been Quit, Bruton, and Red Bull, plus a can of strong loose and portion snus. In the almost 6 months that I have been without cigs I have yet to forget to bring either snuff or snus with me. If I ever did I could do with dip cause that is sold everywhere here, hope it never comes to that though.

abraxas fin lately. Which my main snuffs lately have been both draguns abraxas fin and the bernards in the yellow box.

Hey bob are you talking about the Bernard Brasil Doppelt Fermientert? That was the first Bernard I ever tried and probably my favorite of Schmaltzers. They are all good but that one is very rich and complex. I really wish I had a better nose to describe it but the easiest thing to compare it to would be an expensive chocolate cake. I like the Zweifacher too with the hint of menthol added to it. Good stuff indeed.

@willc good choice. I am the same, never without my snus or snuff, however I have forgotten my snus a few times. I always keep a tin or two of snuff in my desk at work and some Picanell and Oliver Twist chewing tobacco which will see me through until i get home and throw in a large prilla of ES snus or a few portions. There is always a tin of snuff in my suit jackets and my overcoat so I am never without. I am lucky that a very good tobacconist is not far from my office so I can always pop down there for a tin of snuff in an emergency

Nope not that one it comes in a yellow cardboard box and I don’t know it is spelled and am looking for a way to no have to. Zweifacher was my first half and half snuff. I love that one.

For a while it was cheeta as it really woke me up.

The convenience and discreetness of both snuff and snus are such A big plus IMO. On Friday I was at A.I. DuPont which is a children’s hospital so there is no smoking on the site and some of my coworkers get really bent out off shape working in places like this. Some guys will do a portion but nobody has accepted any snuff yet. Maybe someday snuff will be a normal thing and I will no longer be weird for using it.

Pretty much the first one my grubbing fingers grasp… Then once to work, difinitely SG Black Coffee. Then… Well, who knows!

IHT 22 does the trick for me. SG Black Coffee is nice too!

I had McChrystal’s whiskey this morning and was kind of a strange feeling tomorrow I ll get something else. Each time I am about to vape I have a pinch just before, I hope this time snuff will put my vape away !

I usually start my day off either with Toque USA Whiskey and Honey or Starr Scotch both mixed with Honey :bz

A few huge pinches of USA W&H.

UMMM Well I do enjoy snuffing in itself but the main reason I snuff is for the NICOTINE & I prefer snuffs with the most nic in them such as WE , Toque Rustica, Peruvian Rustica, American Scotches & so own. But it comes down to each to his or her own as far as nicotine dependency goes , as far as myself I don’t mind at all depending on Nicotine actually quiet enjoy Depending on it. I always start the day off with a Rustica of some kind.  G’Day

White Elephant

Superior first thing with black coffee.

@JosephJames, that combo will certainly wake a person up!

SM Blue by WOS. Haven’t got any at present. Really need to get an order into Wilsons.

Whichever is nearest

Still the same after all these years.

I like start my day with a strong coffe or a strong cup of tea and a strong menthol snuff . It is the best for open my eyes and go work

A basic tobacco snuff as the first one - preferably something like a Madras snuff, Dholakia Sparrow, Smokers Blend, Six photo Natural. I don’t really want a lot of fragrances in my first pinch. 

I usually take a lucky dip in the morning, I have decanted McC’s O&G, Highland Ice, Rustica (straight), Hedges and Toque Raspberry Menthol into individual containers with no labels. So I just reach for whichever snuff my hand lands on, the surprise seems to wake me up a fair bit especially when its the Rustica or Hedges tin

Lately in the morning I’ve been using “Razorback” Toast(reg).Goes well with a nice cup of coffee ~O)

Used to be a mild menthol, like McChrystals O&G / Poschl Gletcherprise / Ozona President Lately nothing seems to be better on a clean nose than SG London Brown.

Seems to be toque camphor and clove for me at the moment!

Recently it’s needed to be something reasonably coarse, as a fine or even standard ground snuff would result in an eye watering coughing session. As soon as I’ve had a dose of something coarse to get the ole juices flowing, I’m set for whatever else suits the mood.

I love starting off with Sternecker Fresco. It has nicotine, but is so velvety…

My first tin of Swisher Strawberry arrived today and hoping this will be a nice bedtime and morning snuff, I will find out if its a hit or miss tomorrow morning, fingers crossed.

Lately when I need a jolt first thing in the morning, OSP #1 . One of the only ones that I feel the nicotine from and gets my nose cleaned out.

@yisraeldov  If ya want to feel nicotine give Samuel Gawith Black Rappee a try.

@yisraeldov Same here OSP #1 for the same reasons.

@moemojo The only snuff I really notice nicotine is OSP, even toque Whisky And Honey USA I don’t get anything and that has rustica.  If I take a big pinch I will notice an elivated heart beat after a while, but nothing like a rush.

JNF dragon madras, or ntsu black is my go to in morning, I can actually feel it perk me up, and it also clears the nose for whatever else I decide to put up it.

I like to change my rotation daily, but i like heavy nic in the evening, sweet chocolatey snuffs after lunch and dinner, 

But to answer whats my fave morning snuff, i tend to go for a minty or mentholated snuff, it wakes me up, but if i take menthol often it swells my sinus and clogs my nose for some reason, 

So i love minty or menthol, there are many to choose from, but only first thing in the morning, 

White Elephant- gives a good nic hit and clears out my nose to start the day.

F&T Bordeaux

Always something medicated: Hedges L260, or Mullins & Westley’s Keen Scented ideally!

Still WoS CoC for me

Moving more and more towards menthol or something with menthol in it nowadays, great for all seasons.

@BeerandSnuff

Yep, menthol and or mint first thing for me. I like how it wakes me up, clears the airways. But if i use too much, i find it has the opposite affect, and my nasal passages seem to swell up, making further snuffing difficult. ( i also find minty or menthol snuffs affect my taste, and food and drink enjoyment is diminished. SO, early mornings are menthol mornings. for me, but usually only then .

 One of the few snuffs I use. Sambac Jasmine, rose/sandalwood, Dholakia Kamal or ganga, or bernards Zwiefacher. Often which ever I grab in that pre caffeine haze. And yes that explains why I don’t come here that often. I am set in my snuffy ways. Though I do find snuff is the best morning tobacco. It certainly wakes one up more then snus or a pipe would. 

NTSU Green is my new favorite morning snuff since I just received a roll of 12. The menthol is mild, but the nicotine level is perfect.
