I was hoping some of the ‘snuff experts’ on this forum could tell me why snuff is flavoured? I know some brands are ‘natural’ and contain no flavouring but I was just wondering why snuff is usually flavoured in some way and yet not cigarettes or cigars?
Didn’t you answerer your own question when you went out of your way to purchase Gawith Cola and Bernard’s snuff?
You can get flavoured cigarette tobacco: Buccaneer Whisky, Excellent Lemon mint cigarettes, Excellent sweet plum cigarettes and many others. I tried flavoured cigarettes one times in my 28 years smoking career but ditnt like it. Flavouring works of course better with Snuff, because is not consumed by fire and for the nose only…
Yes in my pipe smocking days I smocked a good cherry and also coffee pipe tobacco, and also menthol cigarettes.
If you were never cigarette addicted, …for me the pure cigarette smoke arround my face was part of my addiction. If i smoked a mango cigarette for instance, i already felt that something was wrong 
Nowadays I still use smokey snuff for the evening: Bernards Jubiläums snuff is my smokey favourite …
“Didn’t you answerer your own question when you went out of your way to purchase Gawith Cola and Bernard’s snuff?” I don’t think so Snuffhead. The flavours are available so I like to try different ones but my point was if you buy two different brands of cigarette (say Marlboro and Benson & Hedges for example) they would taste similar but not so with snuffs…just wondered why they were flavoured at all in the first place since it wasn’t really done with other forums of tobacco. Thanks for your post didi, although flavoured cigarettes do exisit I have never met someone who uses them (perhaps its because I live in the UK)
You see, if you use snuff, you have a much greater freedom to enjoy flavours. As cigarette smoker you are mainly affected by your addiction.
Yeah and as you said in a previous post the flavours wouldn’t be as nice if the tobacco was burned…chocolate flavoured smoke doesn’t sound nice!
Lazarus…I haven’t smoked a cigarette for over 20 years. But I Can Tell You That Marlboro and Benson & Hadges are miles apart so shut up!
Wow, calm yourself big guy…fags taste all the same to me: vile
Then that answered your question again. Your getting up my nose!
i think of it like spicing food. variety. we all like variety. at least in germany menthol cigarettes are quite popular and rum flavoured cigarette tobacco sells well too. and “cognac-dipped” and vanilla flavoured cigars are also popular. pipe tobacco of the “danish” type comes in myriads of flavourings. from a like apple to z like zen… but it usually ends up as vanilla-something. dont really care for flavoured pipe baccys…
What is the matter with you snuffhead? Did you get out of bed on the wrong side this morning? If I am somehow annoying you over this issue why don’t you post elsewhere instead of giving me grief?
Thanks for your reply Betonente, it was interesting to read that flavoured cigarettes are popular in Germany, as I said in a previous post no-one really uses them in the UK.
Flavored cigarettes are often sold individually at gas stations as impulse buys in the the US. Cheap fruit flavored cigars are much more common (pretty nasty though imo). I think the different “flavors” of snuff translate better due to the method of consumption. A flavored tobacco product meant for smoking may smell like cherries or bannanas unlit, but after lighting up the smell is more of cheap tobacco and car air freshener. Quality pipe tobaccos probably being the exception. With snuff the flavor variety can almost be a substitute for the tobacco scent altogether.
It actually is an interesting question. I smoked exactly the same cigarettes for 30 years. The others do taste different, but it was Camel filters, and nothing else. With pipe tobacco, I’ve got one favorite English/Oriental, and one favorite Danish, and seldom smoke anything else. I’ve got one favorite cigar, and that’s it. But, all is not well with the world, unless I’ve got at least a dozen different snuffs at my disposal. I seldom even leave the house without 2. As soon as I get home, I swap them for 2 different ones. I wonder why that is, too. Cheers, Java
Lazarus with two nice ladies, I can’t get out of bed the wrong way. say a little prayer for me
An enjoyable scent in the nose can bring just as much & sometimes more satisfaction than the actual tobacco/nicotine. Having a nice scent in the nose can actually elevate ones mood. It was also helpful to mask the unsanitary conditions of times past & thought a pleasant scent could ward off disease. A lot of things are done just to make it more acceptable to a wider variety of people. Everyone has different tastes. If a product was just available in one type of scent, you would be missing out on a huge market of people who might not enjoy the 1 available scent. Just like there are people here who wouldn’t go a day without a plain snuff, there are people here who wouldn’t go a day without a heavy floral or heavy menthol snuff. Although I never smoked cigarettes I have & do smoke cigars & pipes. I can tell you that there are hundreds if not thousands of different scented cigars & pipe tobacco. Swisher Sweets has a whole line of flavored cigars as well as the flavored Backwoods cigars. One of my old favorites in pipe tobacco was one I use to order called ‘Grandma’s Apple Pie’. Just like there are a huge variety of different flavored oral tobacco’s. From a tequila flavored loose leaf chew to a grape flavored fine ground lip tobacco. Or just a plug tobacco cased with sweet molasses.

I remember the orange camels. I bought them because they were buy one get one free at the time. I think for most people who inhale and exhale pretty much every toke on a cigarette the extra flavor is just added unnecessary harshness maybe… but puffing on a cigar or pipe is a different kind of experience.
