Opinions solicited nicotine content? taste? anything else? which would you go with if you only wanted 1?

These snuffs have tracers or are the pure wp? If the latter than great burn and only adrenal rush
They’re very very similar, but White Elephant is a lot nuttier, Dholakia White has more farmyard. I prefer the Elephant personally
I got so much in my nose and on my plate , its hard to tell the difference. I think the WE is a bit stronger in burn and N
Thanks, made up my mind. WE for me. Will not and cannot argue with horus or Aanycaards and Shaman’s reference to WP (hottest snuff made) provoked much thought.
Just ordered some WE, one tin. I’m betting it’ll last a long time, as my tiny 8gm tub of 6photo natural is almost 1/2 way down after 6 weeks. Meaning, I don’t do a lot of it at once. I seem to rotate between differnt types thru the day. Like Poschl schmalzlers followed by HDT, followed by Dholakias. I can’t wait to see all the hype is about! I’m hoping it’ll be a giant painful blast of natural goodness!
Only tried the DW and love it (bulk order candidate). Looking forward to trying WE and WP. Edit. Oops. Forgot. Got Cheeta too and love, more so than DW.
WP is not hot it just finer ground version of the D White[if that’s possible] with more ocean scent. I am liking the W.E. this batch isn’t as brutal as the one I got 3 years ago. I think I will use some now
Hello everyone…Let me introduce myself to you all…i am the manufacturer,supplier and exporter of white elephant snuff…n i have come along on this forum to answer all your doubts…
I like your product! Very strong nicotine, yet mild in flavor!
After having tried both I must say I prefer the T.A.S madras. Best snuff from India or thereabouts I’ve had to date, well except for SUN Pari.
I haven’t ridden the White Elephant yet, but based on the comments I’ve read, I think I may include some in my next order. I’m a huge fan of Dholakia White, so I believe White Elephant should appeal to me too.
@faust…sure you can try our snuff and we hope that our snuff will stand to all your expectation…You get WE at MR.SNUFF website.Good luck enjy
@mrmanos…Thanks for your appreciation and we continue to render the same quality to you…Thanks and enjy snuffing
Okay, Willie Pete, White Elephant, and Dholakia White … Anything else in the same general family of snuffs? I’ve only tried the Dholakia, but I love it. I find it a very energizing snuff and it doesn’t make me congested at all – quite the opposite, it’s the perfect medicine for congestion. I’ll definitely branch out and try the other two soon, particularly the Elephant. Apart from anything else, the packaging is kind of funky. Anything else similar available?
6 Photo Cheeta, though it’s scented. Honestly it’s not my cup of tea but it’s very popular here. It’s got (I *think*) lemon or some sort of citrus and sandalwood and some other Eastern-type spices/florals.
@horus92, I’ve always had reservations about Cheeta because of the scent. In my haul from Tibet, I got some 5 Photo Super Himalaya – not sure if it’s available at MisterSnuff – which smells like an Indian temple. I may on occasion take some while listening to Ravi Shankar or somesuch, but it’s never going to be a daily snuff for me. I worry that the Cheeta would be similar.
@JakartaBoy : Cheeta is a potent white snuff with a hint of flavor .
I JUST received a Tin of the ELUSIVE White Elephant today. WOW… Holy Moly!!! I can’t sleep. BIIING!!! @-)
White snuffs will definitely put some pep in your step…
@johnS_1969: Thanks for you wonderful comment.Have a good time with White elephant.
@sahibkhan212 I am curious about how white snuffs are used in India. I understand a lot of snuffs are commonly used sort of like toothpaste in the US and people brush their teeth with them. But white snuffs really don’t taste like anything in the mouth, so I wonder, are white snuffs more usually sniffed? Or are they used by mouth as well?
@horus92 W E snuff is only for export we are not supplying to any one for use in India.We can’t say about the taste as we know,it’s-use is for sniffing only.It depends on person to person also.
WOW export only. Sure is a large market not being utilized 17.4% of the world. I am so happy I have mine.

Ahh okay very interesting, thanks for responding! I think I asked 6 photo this once too, what countries do you mainly export to?
ON BEHALF OF 41 PHOTO FAMILY WE WISH ALL THE SNUFF LOVERS AND 41 PHOTO LOVERS A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR AHEAD
Same to you too! But maybe not post this in every thread where your snuffs are mentioned. It’s just silly and shows poor SoMe strategy. Best regards, Jari T

Agreed. I very nearly flagged them as Spam …
@Jari_T & 50ft_trad we really apologize but this was just a wishing note from our end for all our consumers who might no be available in this thread.
@sahibkhan212 - Are you still active? Any chances of shipping WE to me in Mumbai?
P.S. Pretty weird, your comment that it is not for consumers in India, you being in India. Do you realise how that sounds?
I live in Karnataka state, India, and I buy White Elephant locally, as well as order from 6 Photo very cheap. Today I tried to order from Dolakia and they wanted to charge me over 4 times as much for a similar order that I made for 6 Photo. I paid about 1500 rupees for 50, 35gm tins of various snuff from 6Photo. I tried to order about 40, 25gm tins of snuff from Dolakia and they wanted to charge 8000 rupees. I really wanted to try Dolakia, but I will stay with 6 Photo for their amazing customer service, great prices, and quality product.
I haven’t tried WE yet, so can’t make a comparison yet.
@Monk Dholakia makes some decent quality snuffs. It’s a pitty company overprices their products for inland customer. Probably it’s a dual pricing issue, when the same product is priced differently for different markets. I (only) guess Dholakia’s snuff is obtainable cheaper in local market. Perhaps you were considered as Western customer, hence charged higher. Did you try contacting Dholakia in any local language? Maybe @newbiesnuffer could give some details about his own experience ordering from Dholakia?
By the way, I suggest you asking Mr. Manit Joshi for some free samples initially (it’s a common practice - Dholakia does send them worldwide).
Volunge, I suspect you are right about the possibility of being charged higher because I am a Westerner. Actually happens quite a bit here as well as in Nepal when I travel there. The man I contacted at Dolakia even agreed that this pricing was based on exported product, not local prices. Silly business model. 6Photo charged me the same low price they charge other local Indian buyers. I just can’t justify paying Dolakia 8000 rupees for an order when I only paid 1500 rupees for an even bigger order from 6Photo. I hope they rethink their business model.
@volunge and @Monk - The Dholakia range of snuffs are wonderful. Especially their traditional ones like sparrow cool, kamal, ganga and manjul. I love everything in 6 photo (except for gold rush). I don’t think the pricing comparisons made here have anything to do with anyone being a westerner or Indian. I am an Indian, and yet, I only came to know snuff is still made in the Indian market (or the world market for that matter) is by reviewing websites. There are not much retail sales in Mumbai (3-4 snuffs available at tobacco stores which are slowly but surely closing down). I get my stock from 6 Photo and Dholakia by contacting them directly. Yes, I agree that Dholakia is charging a lot more, but that is to me as well. But we have to count their own choice of aiming their customers and their structures they adopt around governance. It’s a masses and classes game too in India and companies adopt different strategies. I know for a fact that 6 Photo and Dholakia are popular in India (but sadly, not in cities) and overseas. And I only learnt about snuff 14 months ago. Hence, I am a newbie
Also, the only snuffs I’ve tried (except for 10 samples of international snuffs sent by a great member here) are from India. When I visit Mr. Snuff or snuffstore, etc. I find the rates for foreign snuffs too expensive more than the shipping (shipping is justified, India is far). I’ve wanted to place an order, but the conversion rate kills me. It is INR 63.83 (as on today) vs USD one (1) dollar. A pound sterling is equal to INR 88.47! Also, I am not sure if Mumbai customs will unnecessary hold any parcel that comes in (need to research laws on that). So I guess it is all about where you are in the world and what you want which is not made there. :)
@Monk Your aforementioned pricing corresponds to Dholakia official price-list. You can find it in this thread: http://snuffhouse.com/discussion/11573/good-news-for-all-dholakia-snuff-lovers
Although dual pricing is common and even legitimate in some parts of the world, I understand your discontent…
Interesting bit of information this.
I think @ newbiesnuffer is loaded with money , will need to double charge him henceforth .
@Monk Thanks for the positive feedback.
At 6 Photo we strive very hard to retain the customers. A satisfied customer will surely bring in more customers.
@sixphoto Your excellent customer service is much appreciated. I hope to be a life long customer. Thank you.
@sixphoto - not loaded with money, but with love for your snuffs, Vikas. Secondly, would you want to overcharge a friend? You’re too kind to do that.
I was referring to the costs having an impact on purchases and hence more reach. Your snuffs have more reach due to that as it caters to all. My friends too cant get enough.
Just received a very nice sample pack from Dolakia. Still have a few left to try but so far I am loving the Swiss Chocolate, Manjul, and Herbal Cherry! !! Excellent quality snuff. Will be ordering some of these soon.
Post deleted. Sorry
Not much in the way of Dholakia today on MrSnuff Having tried Cheeta and Afghan White I’m a believer. Now, the Afghan I’m learning actually smells like sh**. I was thinking to myself that hmm there’s a bit of manure smell to this Afghan I’ve been putting myself to bed with. So I went for a walk outside - been finding every time I get some fresh cool air the snuff aromas really come alive. Well it smelled like my dog did his business and I stepped in it. With my Cheeta exhausted and the AW smelling like poop (I’ll flavor it in the mean time, maybe add to my Toque USA Citrus which is becoming my morning pleasure) I’m staring to build another (3rd) MrSnuff order. I have lots of 6 Photo (Love that they’re so active here) due to arrive any day but I’d like to do the full White tour (and not the WoS, which I have and seems awfully unsanitary). I have a couple tins of 41P WH in the cart. What else should I try from Mr Snuff on the white tour? Where can I get Dholakia if not on MrSnuff?
I can verify that Dholakia White is very similar to 41 Photo White Elephant. I find these two superior to 6P Cheeta.
