I just opened a tin of Crumbs of comfort this morning, and haven’t been able to put it down all day! Got to be a must try for those that like a minty experience. Was a bit much sniffing the pinch directly (my nose is still a bit new to all this so the burn can be a bit off putting) but sniffing from the back of my hand and Wow! Anyone else got a must try snuff that you can’t put down? The C of C has just the right balance between pleasure and pain - not to much but not just a pleasant scented inert powder either. I am relatively new to snuff (3 or so months), and the whiskey and honey from toque mixed 50/50 with Thuoc Lao is as much as my nose can handle right now (I find the Toque neat very nice but a bit much for me at the min) regards Steve
Even though I just tried American Scotches a year ago, Navy Plain is the one I just can’t put down. I go through a tin a month (all nasally) in addition to the European snuffs which I didn’t diminish usage at all. It has so much good nicotine.
I can’t say I’ve tried any American snuffs, although they are going to be on my hit list. I only usually snuff 4 or 5 times a day, but must be at number 15 already today with the the Crumbs! I get my nicotine from snus, and my pleasure from snuff, so the less I snuff usually the better it is!. I’ll reign it in tomorrow a bit too much of a good thing and all that! Snuff gives me the hit that I used to enjoy from a cigarette, and is great for my withdrawl symptoms if I get a bad craving before the snus kicks in.
Its great when you get one like that, pure pleasure. My addiction of the moment of Fubar R and R.
Crumbs Of Comfort used to be my daily snuff. That was before I tried O&G and Toque’s Menthol, now I just prefer Menthol over spearmint. I can live on just Toque’s Menthol and Tube Rose. I still have 100 grams of COC from a half pound tub that I haven’t touched since June.
I like Crumbs of Comfort a lot as well. Crumbs of Comfort Extra is excellent as well, I think I may even like it more than the regular. I got some Prime Minister on the way, I figured that it would be the next one to try since I like his little brothers so much. I think that for me, the spearmint variations will remain a favorite and a regular for some time to come.
CoC is my all day snuff. Bought a pound of it a few months ago, and have easily used 70 grams of it so far
CoC 1or2 pinches every morning has become a daily ritual for to start the day. I mix a dash in with some of my scotches or personal grinds sometimes to add a little variety to the day (5 gm smash box half full 1 pipe tool spoon half full) lasts me all day. . I am admitting it is a must have for me. Never have had any rebound effect from it. I had a med. tin just opened in my pocket one day, I offered a non-snuffer friend (smoker) a pinch one day and he took it with him and hasn’t smoked since.
It’s all in a day’s snuff. But honestly I can’t stand it. The strangest thing is, I do like peppermint in my mouth; but not in my nose. I think of the chap that was on this forum about, ginger snuff. Well I think ginger in the mouth has a gradual burn, but that I’m sure can’t be reproduced in the nose.
I am snuffing WoS CoC right now, good stuff. I still want to try ginger snuff. Almost nothing lost, if I do not like it. Much gained, if I love it.
Well I’m sure if you go down to your local grocery shop and look on the spices rack you will find ground Ginger. Put a little into some old, or plain snuff. BUT; I think you will be disappointed.
@thatjerk: Prime Minister seems to me like they’ve thrown a little bit of everything in there (menthol, spearmint, peppermint, camphor etc) and is quite unusual. I think it’s one you’ll love or hate.
I was hoping for something manufactured with oils or something. I made some kickarse snuff with fine tonka beans and Toque Natural.
Sorry to re-kick and old thread but I have just tried COC myself, ordered a 25g tin from MR Snuff based on rep alone for it and just WOW. It is with me all the time. Absolutely love it and I think I might have to look over the WOS line and see if there are any others in there I must try.
Grand Cairo
@Bob, NOW you’re talking!!! I’ve been on Grand Cairo for a couple of days as my go to SP and I might order it in bulk. Will decide about it in a day or two.
@ snuff_nOOb: "CoC is my all day snuff. Bought a pound of it a few months ago, and have easily used 70 grams of it so far " At roughly 28.3 g/oz (16 oz /lb), you only have about 383 g (13.5 oz) to go until you’re OUT.
Too funny, I placed my first order from Mr Snuff tonight (bank marked it as fraud hopefully 2nd time is the charm) anyway I added the crumbs of comfort 25 gram and the grand Cairo I’m really excited to try them out.
Grand Cairo will be on my next order. I gotta space them as my wife doesn’t understand the “collection” even though she snuffs as well. She was shocked I ordered more considering how much stash we have already built up in such a short time. Ken
I was recommended Irish Toast #22 by WoS, and have quite enjoyed it though not to the degree (and regularity) of the CofC. I prefer F&T HDT, although if you like toasts it might be worth a go.
