My first snuff was either Buttercup or Honey Bee, can’t remember which one. I purchased both of them at the same time at a local grocery, I had just ordered from Mars Cigars and was waiting on my parcel. After I received my Mars package I realized there was quite a difference between the products. That was in December 2006 or January 2007. Edit: Prior to snuff I had smoked and quit in November 2006 with dip, then quit dip (mostly) with snuff. I still battle with dip but feel like I’m finally getting the upper hand on it. I had smoked since I was 17 and quit after 9 years.

Man I miss the convenience of Mars…
Poschl Red Bull was my first snuff. I took a risk and ordered a box of 20, figured it would last me a long time and that my friends would want to get some too. I ended up selling most of them so I could sample other snuffs.
Wow @vito445 nothing like jumping in both nostrils first, eh? 
My first snuff was handmade by my great grandfather, he loved snuff. I sniffed a little bit of that thing and sneezed nonstop…
My first was either Ozona Raspberry or the original Dr. Rumney’s…can’t really remember which. A local tobacco shop, The Pipeseller offered several of the Ozona and Poschl varieties, as well as the Rumney’s. I remember at age 18 thinking that the Brits were crazy for sticking tobcco up their noses. Hahaha.
In the late seventies aged 9 or so I found an empty tin of Wilson’s snuff (which you could get in most corner shop and even chemists’ then) in the street and puzzled, pocketed it and showed it later to my grandfather who explained what it was. I remember also my schoolmaster explaining about snuff because it was in a book we were reading in class (Stevenson’s ‘Kidnapped’, I think). He claimed though that people took it because they enjoyed sneezing! First snuff I actually bought and took (aged 15 I think) was the ‘Captain Black’ of snuffs, yes good old Gletscher Prise which I bought from a long gone traditional pipe shop in Finchley, London.
I don´t know it exactly but very first was probably Radford´s by Poschl…(box was dark blue)…but it was ages ago…I used to take a single pinch a day !!
Poschl Gawith Apricot, Ozona Raspberry-orange-cherry, and Gleisher-Prise about 15 years ago
American Snuff’s Honest Scotch. Just a few weeks ago. It was enough to get me interested in researching and finding more. It was a 33g tube, so I still have a lot left. When I go back to that after some Dholokia, I have to remind myself to easy on the fine dry stuff. 
I wasn’t a regular smoker (never a pack or even half a pack per day), but I was smoking a clove or Nat Sherman 1 to 3 times per day. Since about day 3, I have rarely even wanted one. Thanks for the explanation of TAD. It appears that I’m well on my way to serious condition here. And enjoying the journey.
Very first was J&H Wilson Medicated 99. I thought it´s dynamite. But…it encouraged me!
Those little blue Wilson’s tins must have been the first snuff of many a British gentleman. Do they still sell them in corner shops? I live abroad now so don’t know, but a few years ago most asian corner shops had a little box of the different Wilsons snuffs kept on the bottom shelf with the rolling papers, etc…
My first snuff was WE Garret Sweet. I liked it enough to delve deeper into the snuff world, but I’ll never touch it again. My cat loves it tho
Were you a smoker before? Yes cigars and cigarettes. What brand/flavor was your first snuff? I am ashamed to say that I have no idea. In a galaxy and time far, far away one of my work colleagues used snuff and let me try some. I loved it and I am sure that I would have asked him for the details but I really cannot remember after all these years. I do know that the very first snuff I bought was F&T Dr.JR Justice. I purchased that from the original shop in the Haymarket, London because I used to smoke F&T cigarettes and because I had seen films with Dr.JR Justice who always struck me as great fun and a terribly old fashioned English gentleman. I even bought a wooden snuff box from there but that is sadly long lost. If you used snuff as a way to get off the cigarettes, how long did it take to finally ditch the sticks? As much as I like snuff it just didn’t work out with my lifestyle. I wish it had weaned me off cigarettes as it would have saved me a fortune over the years.
My first snuff, weirdly was McChrystals while living in Sheffield as a kid. Later, I went to universty in Leicester, and the only snuff the tobacconists sold was Wilsons of Sharrow. Which means nothing except it’s a funny old world, I suppose.
Bought a can of Tube Rose and Superior at my local Food Lion…well, my very first was actually a ground up Maverick cigarette, but that made me realize that I could quit cigs after using nothing but snuff for a day, and I was smoking a pack a day. Then I bought tube rose and superior. My wife said it couldn’t be done, but I did it! Will be one year snuffing as of December 27th.
My first nasal snuff was patchouli Coke Snuff in 1975. I was thirteen, and got caught with it in algebra class. My second nasal snuff was Copenhagen when my father punished me for the Coke Snuff; he tried to make me sick with it. That didn’t work, but snuffing Copenhagen turned me off putting tobacco up my nose until a couple of years ago when I looked around for something menthol to clear up chronic sinus problems. That snuff was Hedges, though I found out in the process that I don’t like mentholated snuffs.
my first snuff woz toque christmas pudding then some toque cheese & bacon about 15 min’s later, and yes snuff help me cut down on the cig’s a bit but not quit. snus got me off the cigarettes in the end, but and this is a big but i still some times light up a pipe maybee 2/3 times in a month but now it’s for the pleasure of a good rich slow smoke on a fine quality tobacco NOT a quick fix as in the past…
The day I joined this forum is the day I received my toque order and put down cigarettes. My first snuff was toque Rose. Yes, snuff was the method I used to quit smoking along with the occasional dip. It’s been over a month and I haven’t had a smoke. The key to quitting cigarettes using snuff is to take pinches until you are satisfied. At first I was going through 5 grams a day but I’m down to 2 grams a day now. Just keep shoveling the stuff in until that little nicotine demon goes away and the feeling that you want to kill someone subsides. It worked for me.
I was around 14, using my brother ID to buy(24 according to that), and it was WE Garret Scotch. I took one pinch and condemed this practice to madness. Years later(legal this time) i aquired some Red Seal. Much more pleasent and so the story goes.
