Newb here… I’m looking for the strongest snuff available - to me. So far, I’ve found some of the “strongest” snuffs claimed are: Dingler Magnet Menthol Snuff Toque Spanish Jewel I found 2 sites that sell Magnet Menthol, but not to the US. Are there any sites that sells this stuff to the US? Or does anybody have suggestions of other STRONG (high nicotine content) snuff and websites they can be ordered from?
Toque Rustica http://www.toquesnuff.com/gbu0-prodshow/rustica50g.html
Rustia is pretty strong. You can get some from the toque site.
Like they said above, Rustica is the strongest I’ve had, other than maybe some Indian snuffs like Dholakia White, 6 Photo brand and 41 Photo White Elephant. The Indian white snuffs are said to contain Indian Rustica along with other tobaccos and in my experience all Indian snuffs, white, brown or black are strong. American Scotches are strong snuffs also.
Sir Walter Scott’s Moro Moro and Havana Toast have Rustica in them. The Havana Toast also has Cuban and Nicaraguan Tobacco. They get my head spinning.
I don’t know about “strongest”, everyone seems to have their own opinion on that – some people like the rapid absorption of the fine, dry snuffs, others prefer the slow build up but sustained impact of the coarse moist snuffs. But Mr Snuff has a good range of very strong snuffs. You could look at his “brutal bundle” for ideas, or just order it and try them all. Personally, I think Toque Quit, Dholakia White, Dholakia Sparrow, Viking Dark, F&T HDT, SWS Lundy Foot and NB Madras are among the stronger snuffs I regularly use. Others talk about the South African Taxi snuffs and some Belgian snuff, Ifrica or some such. For some reason, I don’t find Toque Rustica all that satisfying. With all the other people saying how strong it is, it can’t be lack of nicotine, it’s just missing something that I need. All this reminds me of people looking for “strong” pipe tobacco – some pipe tobaccos have a very strong flavour, which makes people think they are “very strong”, but others with a less extreme flavour have more nicotine. Best to take a bit of a holistic approach and try a whole bunch to see what you like rather than trying to find the holy grail in terms of nicotine content.
Nicotine content is rather inconsequential with snuff takers and studies have proven that most regular snuff takers do absorb more nicotine than occasional users. Control of nicotine level spikes can also lead to more satisfying use.
