Hi everyone, I’ve been searching the web to find White Elephant snuff. As I mentioned before in the introduction thread, my buddhist teacher uses it and I would like to give it to him as a present. (And I’m also quite curious myself!). Does anyone know where to get it? I can’t find it anywhere. Yours, Melvin
Seems it is hared to find, see this thread
I thought that Dholakia’s White Snuff was also known as White Elephant snuff in India… I could be terribly wrong on this. Here is a quote from another thread, written by tom502: I noticed the White Snuff was listed as Elephant Snuff on a site. I think it was Filek that was looking for some Elephant snuff a while back.
Yeah, I think that German snuff shop listed it as Elephant Snuff.
Well, then I guess he can order it from one of our fine US vendors!
Hallo The Pelvin ! This is my teacher too, Lama Ole ! Hattest du Erfolg mit dem White Elephant? Ich kann den auch nicht erwerben, kannst du mir was abgeben?
The Pelvin again: My email is dreadheadz@gmx.de, LG tomcat
I have managed to find the Polish importer of this White Elephant snuff but it is incredibly expensive. By the time I get it to the UK and on the site it will have cost me $25-$30; then I have to add a buck for me. So the retail price will be somewhere between $26 and say $32 for 35g. Does anybody consider that worth it? Or if I can get help to source the manufacturer I can try that? I tried to no avail. Dave
I am interested, but +/-30 USD for 35 grams is quite a bit.
I’ll split a tin with anyone else who decides to try it. Thats if we can even get it.
I would be interested, but mostly as a one off sort of thing, like you did with the Chinese snuff in the 50g tin. Stock it once for those who wish to try, and then only grab it again if there’s demand for it. Don’t know if that would be worth it for you, though.
Here is a pic:
As much as I want this snuff, I don’t think I can spend that much on a tin of it. Where is it from?
If it’s just like Dholakia White, I’m really not interested.
I’m with Tom, if it’s just like Dholakia White, then there is no point. I’ll just buy a 50g tub of Dholakia White from Dave for less than $10. 
I prefer the scented perfumed Indian snuffs, and with menthol.

Well someone sells it @ ebay.de for 16 Euros and writes: … a brilliant mixture of indian herbs and spices, white rhododendron and a little amount of tobacco. Its ivory-colored and has a spicy taste and a little alert making effect. Seems its not like Dholakia white…
