Snuff, the Dessert of Smokeless Tobacco

[The Wiz]

There is a BBQ chain here called buster's and lemme tell you the rooster smells like their bbq minus the meat.


Soo if three thistles is a calmer version I might give it a shot.

Dred...I have not tried Rooster yet...Just going by what I have read in reviews...The Three Thistle does pack quite a punch...and very heavy on the BBQ flavor!! By God I love it!!The Wiz!

...I found this strange and unlikely word in your post. Should we move it to a2d's "1st" thread. Just doesn't sound like a statement from someone I had pictured as alliigator wrestler .

Hmm Not into the burning bbq pit from hell action all the time, and I do find rooster kills my sense of smell for a good chunk of time. It is a not at work snuff, I need my snotter to smell for burnt smells.

I see, no, not good. I also need my senses pretty well in tact for work. So far, I've only used the Bruton Scotch. I like the sorta blandness of it for that very reason, but I'd like something with more kick. I decided my next purchase would be Rooster, but sounds like not such a good idea, now. Looked up some others and found CC Carhart with a 18.84 nic level and Red Seal with 18.83. Puts it up there with the Rooster, but now I'm concerned about the BBQ take-over. Any experience with either of these? Looking for extreme nic without extreme flavor .

Hey TV
I just got some WE Garrett Plain a day ago. This has PLENTY of nic and it really gives the BBQ flavor that is referenced so often.

Puts me in mind of the smokey bite from a piece of good smoked salmon. For me at least the flavor hit from the Garrett fades in a short amount of time.

So far of all the snuffs I've tried they all have the ability to mask your sense of smell for a period. One history a read made mention that snuff was used for just that reason by police and morticians to help combat the smell of decomp!

Ok, quick fading is fine by me. Hadn't concidered the dead body connection. Not a bad idea, as I've been around a few, though, this also fades with exposure.... Any idea on the nic strenght? My Bruton snuff is 17.66mg and the Rooster and co. are in the mid 18's. Might be splitting hairs, but the more toxic the better .

Even smoking analogs by the packs did not numb the snotter enough to not be effective but the rooster masks the burnt electric corrosion scent enough to make me wonder.

Yeah, familiar with that...so acrid . I don't think there's any hope of overcoming that. It tends to dig in deep...sorta like pig $#!t.

Can't answer that one Twisted. Ever since you first started citing specific measured nicotine levels I've been looking around. US Smokeless is the only manufacturer I've found that has the specific measurements your after.

Weird.

I'm satisfied with the trial and error method to find what works but it would be nice to be able to actually compare apples to apples.

Anyone ever found tables of nicotine content for nasal snuff?

Beuller?...

I agree, not enough details out there or too hard to find. Dang, what if I got all the info and found out I don't like something I like.....what a purdiciment I might be in...

Last order included a tin of Grand Cairo. Not really clear if this an Sp or Scented or a scented SP, phooey. Still way to new to understand the classifications really.

The stuff is an average medium grind and I s'pose what is considered medium moist. Very easy to take by pinch or off the back o the hand.

Next to no burn but scent out the wazoo! All the reviews make mention that this is a "complex" snuff. Okey dokey.

I get citrus and bergomot and mebbee lavender. That's the immediate take. After a few minutes it all settles down to something akin to a lightly rose scented soap or body powder kinda scent.

Twixt the scent and medium range nic this is a very comforting snuff. I'll certainly get it again.
