Nasal Snuff

I've got a bit of a cold ATM but it certainly cleared my nose.

I shall investigate further...

Pete, for a real nic buzz, give the American Scotches a try. Once you get used to them, everything else pales in comparison! IMHO of course.

The newbie's first hurdle is how to use it

Well, my father (sadly long gone) used snuff for the majority of his adult life (prior to that he was a smoker). His method of inhalation was simple and elegant. The snuff he took was called "SP No1" - I understand that this has been rebranded as "Top Mill No 1". Strong and peppery. It came in a small rectangular tin with rounded corners. I believe there was a small hole in one corner of the tin(either that or my father drilled it - which is quite likely). You need to make a fabric band that covers the hole. This will last indefinitely (or until it is too stained for public appearances). To use the snuff: pull the band back to expose the hole. Holding the tin in the right hand, tap a small amount just above the knuckle of the index finger on the left hand. Swiftly sniff into both nostrils (the hand passing under the nose as if wiping away a dewdrop). Slide band back over hole and replace tin in pocket. No need for snuffbox, spoon or other implements. Practical - and swift in practice! You will need plenty of paper handkerchiefs, as linen ones will be irrecoverably stained.

I'll add it to my list! I'm getting quite a collection of snuffs now, just working my way round them. The different flavours are really good, I'm carrying about 5 different ones round with me, all in bullets, I'm going to have a hard time explaining them away should I ever be stopped by the police..
I find it useful to cut down the amount of vaping I do, I smay have given up smoking but my nic intake is up.

Mmmm... Nasal Snuff. Good stuff. I ordered mine from Tom at NicotineRush.com. Have to say that I ordered late Friday night, and Tom had my order in the mail first thing Saturday. Nice. Also nice was the free sample of Rooster. Rooster is an American Snuff. Bone dry. And ground as fine as dust. Impossible for me to snuff without it bypassing my nasal cavity and hitting the back of my throat. But, it is tasty and STRONG.

The english, coarser, moister, snuffs are much easier to learn. I tried McChrystal's Original & Genuine, Ozona President, and Wilson's Best SP. All are easy to get into the nose without going past. None have the nic hit of Rooster. They are all good.

Snuff is good stuff. It goes nicely with Snus.

I've got really into snuff, but I cannot live with snus Which is a pity because I bought a ton of the stuff.
I really must try American snuff of some description, mostly I've tried the UK & German ones, I'll have to find a retailer that stocks US brands.

Toque just came out with a new nasal snuff aimed at those quitting cigarettes. It's called, appropriately, Quit, and is supposed to be strong and high in nicotine, with a quick "hit". I ordered some, along with four others needed to meet the $10 minimum order. This stuff is so dirt cheap. I'll post about Quit after I've tried it.

My Toque order arrived today and I dug into the Quit tin.

Oh my, it stinks. I find the smell repulsive, but I put some in each nostril nonetheless. Instant sneezing fit. I might get used to this strength, but Quit packs a punch in terms of nose irritation. I honestly can't say I got a nic high after using it on two occasions so far.

I had to order five tins to meet the minimum dollar order. So far, the only other flavor I've tried is Blueberry Menthol. It doesn't smell as bad as Quit, and tastes a whole bunch better once in place. Sure clears the sinuses!

I'll post more on these after trying them. I have Quit, Blueberry Methol, Espresso, Vanilla and Toffee.

Hey TB-

I got some Toque snuff a good while ago now and had a nice chat with the owner too who's a really nice guy - also really low TSNA levels for a tobacco product - pretty similar levels to snus.

The stink should die down after a few days - that's actually a sign of it being super fresh. Something to do with the ammonia being fairly active after it's first produced. If you go on the snuff forum, you'll see that a lot of people let it sit for a day or two before using it to avoid the rather unpleasant initial smell...

The mentholated stuff always does it for me but I'm sure those others are nice too although I confess I haven't tried most of those.

Great, I noticed when I started smoking E-cigs I went straight to the 36mg. Loved it. Still do. But for some reason I can't feel relaxed anymore. I am trying different tobacco stuff. I got an idea:

Nicotine patch on each arm, snus in upper lip, stonewall in bottom lip, Nic. gum in teeth/side cheek, Ecig on left side of mouth, and newport on right side...


Wow...I think that might relax me, course may send me flying too lol...Now if only I could find some nic. juice..lol

But yeah, I am ordering some of this snuff to try out. Thanks for the tips.

Smokindeuce, you are correct, it IS ammonia that is so overwhelming. I've got my tin "airing out" now. Wow, but it stinks! My nose is adjusting better in that I don't instantly sneeze after a gentle sniff. I've returned to my old Dean Swift Itchkenneth favorite snuff until the Toques air out.
