I was disapointed you didn't vape it. :D

What you say about the corner and cigars is true. I was friends with the son of the former chief medical examiner for the State of Rhode Island (Dr Author Burns) who did the same thing when he entered the room with a decaying corpse in it. The other thing about coroners is that after an autopsy, I found from Burns, is that they get extremely hungry and usually crave eating meat. Probably because of the human primal instinct of cutting meat makes one hungry. Odd but true.

Was that a dog in the background I saw for a few seconds?

What fantastic eyes, BigJim! Yes, that was my English Springer Spaniel involved in his dedicated purpose in life -- making sure there are no lizards on my porch. His tag wags non-stop as he checks out every corner.

HA! My beagle does the same thing. Although lately he's been making appearances with me in my videos. The funny part is when Billy (my dog) wags his tail, he's generally pacing back and forth behind me. So it looks a bit like the fin on the shark in Jaws going back and forth. It's comical.

Glad you got around to nasal snuff. It's one of those reduced harm products that can fall under the radar.

I started using it about the time I quit smoking, and at the time I really didn't take to it like I did with snus. It took some time to get the hang of it.

I've gotten much better at it, and the further away from cigarettes I got the more I could feel the nicotine hit. Very enjoyable indeed, and it's become an important part of my regime to stay off the cigs.

I got my package from mrsnuff.com today with my order. I didn't explore too many of the options, and just went with what TB said in his video review. I got the Wow Coffee Bite and Dholakia Swiss Chocolate. I ordered two bullets to sniff them with. They threw in a free bullet of Zuka Black, which is ok so far. I tried that first just for the heck of it.

Nice little burn when you sniff the stuff. Will be interesting to see how this stuff is with some general everyday use.

The mentholated snuff is just like a spring cleaning to the head each and every time.( Jesus I sound like an ad spokesperson for one of those vintage smoking is good for the throat ads back in the 1950's they even had them saying 9/10 doctors prefer xxxx cigarettes...:D) It gives a great nic dose and it's so quickly absorbed, you will not believe. I'm not too keen on the visuals because all that brown powder, unlike snus, has to go somewhere...where I have no idea, but it doesn't have nice little inoffensive pouches like snus to contain it. I just hope my ENT specialist just doesn't take one look up my nose and say "Hmm. Well what have we got stuck up there:oops:"
The history of snuff had me reading for days. It was used by all the Greats. It was cellared by the nobility and guarded like fine wine. Snuff Factories sprung up all over London and it seems people couldn't get enough of the stuff. Everyone used it. Rich and Poor. Then one day it just died out. Oh yes. They invented something called the cigarette to replace it. That was a good while ago, but now History comes full circle once again and Snuff is back. But this time it comes with a warning in my parts on the tin. "Causes cancer" eughhh. Then again I don't ever recall people dying like flies from snuff. But there was this one African who placed snuff on his ear for 30 years and in the same spot. Cancer? Yep he got it.

All true. And the warning labels are outright lies, but required on ALL tobacco products.

The brown stuff ends up on your paisley hankerchief! Yes, you do blow your nose. And sneeze into the hankerchief. At night, you can wash out your nose with a saline solution or Neti Pot.

Nasal snuff does not reach your lungs. If you snort, you're doing it wrong. You want to lightly sniff and deposit the dusty tobacco into the lower regions of the nose. No need to ever have it reach the sinuses.

As you wrote, it's the original way tobacco was used and has a spotless safety record -- with the exception of the "ear" idiot, a humorous footnote to a great history of use.

The only drawback that I have found with the nasal snuff is that sometimes my sinus will drain too much and make it difficult to get a good dose in my nose. Otherwise, it's wonderful. I love the smell, and the nicotine is a great kick in the pants when needed.

It does take some practice to only have it in your lower nasal area. I've had it drain down my throat a few times, but I chalk that up to a newbie mistake :oops:

Inhale it slow...

RP....I still get that "Drain" down the throat as well....must be a newbie error on my part also.I have found that some snuffs require less of a sniff to get the full effect.The Toque snuff if hit to deep will really mess me up.I am still learning how to properly use it,but it has helped curb my nicotine urges and conserve my e-liquid supply.:)The Wiz!
