I snuff because I love tobacco in all its forms…especially snuff and SNUS as they have helped me quit the cigarette habit.
Kind of a combination of curiosity and benefits I had read about. I had pretty much managed to get off cigs by the time I got around to retrying snuff, but still enjoyed pipe smoking and had found snus to be a good way to get a nic hit. But, reading the forums I kept coming across accounts of snuff’s effects on allergies and keeping sinuses open at night. Hence, decided to try it out. In the process, I enjoyed the flavor aspects that I hadn’t encountered before, and it was off to the races! Thus far, the nicotine hit has eluded me, and not sure my nostrils fully enjoy the experience. However, there may be something to allergy effects.
I started snuffing because I actually heard about in a class called Drugs in Society, which was basically just a history of drug use, along with their backgrounds and effects. Anyways, under tobacco it listed all the possible forms, and I was sure I’d seen or heard of snuff somewhere, but couldn’t remember, so I looked it up, and it basically played out from there. I had also just quit smoking reefer, and I never liked smoking or any other tobacco products before that, so snuff was my first tobacco love. It still is my only one, really.
I am wondering, are you researching or something? Wilson of Sharrow is a very vague first tin. If not I apologize but this is the second thread I have read where that was what you have started with. Most people state what flavor/ or scent they had tried.
& BigSnoot McSnuff I don’t get it. It’s my first tin from a smoke shop in Ann Arbor Michigan. Flavor is strong and it is very dry. It is Irish High Toast. No 22. Made in the UK. edit: I edited the post as it made me look like a real ass. Sorry. Didn’t mean to.
@ WhiZZlE - He was just wondering what kind of Wilson’s Of Sharrow you had tried. They make so many different kinds (60+ varieties), and its kind of strange to not mention which flavor it is.
Because I like it.
I started snuffing to quit ciggs but now I just enjoy it. Also it seems it has helped me overcome my dreaded allergies I would suffer from for years whenever the seasons would change. Also its a lot cleaner. God bless nasal snuff.
I snuff because a good strong menthol when i wake up is just the kick in the face i need to get out of bed and any snuff covers up the smell of the current country i am in!
I actually looked up some stuff on How exactly to use the Copenhagen Snuff. Dipped on and off for years but the moist fine ground was like sand in my mouth. Ended up coming across nasal snuff. I was like, Wow, they still make that. So I decided to try it. And voila here I am today. Love the snuff, not really addicted to it but consider it more of a hobby. Love all the different smells, textures, ect. Still take a dip every now and then but just don’t see the need to anymore.
Harm reduction, adult enjoyment, s’nuff said! Ken
I love snuff because i’m addicted to nicotine and it keeps me off the cigarettes. It’s also an enjoyable habit. Also a cheap habit.
What Ken and pfaber11 said.
Nicotine is the main thing there but I really enjoy snuffing now! Variety is a good thing but I manage with about 5.
I’m just a big lover/fan of tobacco. But snuff is just a great and unique concept, despite its popularity in days of old.
I don’t see myself as a nic addict, but I find the snuff experience to be pleasurable(not all snuffs though), but you take a sniff of a fave snuff, and it’s just a great experience, kinda like Rush/Locker Room.
Because I can and may!
well i looooooooooove tobacco… and i wanted to quit smoking cigarettes for a while now and the snuff was the only thing that actually helped me quit… Taxi and now toque’s Quit and Natural Toast really do the job in delivering the vitamin N… those were the first snuffs that actually helped me make the final push …but like i said before i love tobacco so i’m always looking forward to try new ones as well…forget about gum and patches and mints and all that crap; snuff was the one and only thing that helped me quit smoking and i can still enjoy tobacco ; my lungs are happy my wife is happy and i feel like Tony Montana every time i get a new order in the mail box 
…i wish i had a bigger nose…LOL
@ra.stanit, it’s a good movie you’re refering to and Tony played a brilliant role.
The initial reason I tried snuff was curiosity. I’d gotten into pipe smoking and snus as a reduced-harm alternative to cigarettes. But then I kept reading the posts of the snuffers on the SnusOn forum, and their enthusiasm piqued my interest. So I ordered Toque’s “ten tins for the price of nine” deal, and found I enjoyed snuff, too. I snuff for pleasure, and because I like being part of a centuries-old tradition with an image of culture and refinement. But I’d be lying by omission if I didn’t add that snuff gives me the instant nicotine hit that I used to get from cigarettes, but that is noticeably missing with pipes and snus. And, as a former menthol smoker, snuff can satisfy the craving for menthol, too.
