Snuff: anyone use it?

[matteob]

I bought some up in Scotland last week as a curiosity. I had no idea you could still buy the stuff but apparently it still has quite a following. I remember trying it as a kid when my English teacher brought some in to colour a lesson on 18th century England. The stuff certainly wakes you up. Anyone brave enough to admit to using it lol?

I have been using snuff for 45+ years and have tried more then 700 different ones.

I do, and have for decades. Yesterday, my order for Gawiths Kendal Brown, Princes Gold, and half a dozen others arrived.

it was a bit of a craze here a year or so ago - there's a huge thread full of people discovering it's delights

 

[isaiah53]

i was one of those that discovered its delights i ended up settling on viking dark as my snuff of choice, but was quite partial to mcchrystals original. packed it in a few years ago, but still have a toot if it gets passed round at the football match

I stopped using it about a year ago. Really liked Royal George, it seemed to be a bit of a marmite snuff

Also dynamite is awesome, very strong menthol and a nice nicotine hit

I'd like to know why there are so many ex snuff-takers here. I've used it alongside prodigious smoking for a long while,although I gave up smoking many years ago. I wouldn't class myself as a heavy snuff-taker, and, if I lived to about 150, wouldn't use up my current stock.
I do have to wash my own cotton handkerchiefs, though. Missus won't.

I do really like snuff but gave up as my girlfriend gave up smoking. I too have loads of it. I sealed it in Kilner jars for when I decide to use it again

Give me a good Cuban cigar any day.

Use to enjoy Red Bull very much. But, as I live in the USA, I had to order it from the U.K. and it just became a hassle that I tired of doing.

Yea I hear USA orders for snuff are hard now thanks to EU/US regs. I like snuff as an occasional attention booster. Some strong toasted snuff like Lundy Foot from Walter Scotts or Toque SP Extra. Sir Walter Scott's Creme de Figue or Gawiths Kendal Brown for a slower fix. I don't use it in public though. I think it would not really go down too well.

When I attended dinners at the Black Watch Officers' Mess I liked to take some snuff when the ram's head was passed around. As infrequent indulgence i liked it, but I never got into using it regularly.

 

[matteob]

A lot of drama in the snuff enthusiasts community at the moment anyway with makers slimming their lines and artisan makers paking up due to Euro and US Tobacco legislation. The only one who seems to be expanding is Toque: no idea how with the ban on "characterizing flavours in the EU leg.

Have to agree they are certainly cutting their lines. I can no longer purchase direct from Germany as a result which is a pain in the backside.

I am rather partial to Bernard's Original (pine menthol) Schmalzer, fortunately can still get it in the UK albeit at a higher price.

Like most of the Schmalzers to be honest.

What's your poison?
