What are you snuffing?

Some Gawith's Apricot before retiring for the night.

After my usual morning wakeup (Hedges), snuffing great piles of J&H Wilson SP#1. I think this is my favorite SP so far, good balance of tobacco and flavoring.

At bowling tonight, SG Yellow Crest--essentially an SP with a light Virginia base. Convinced my team mate's fiancée to try a pinch, "I'll try anything once"... poor girl teared up at the tiniest sniff! I bet she'll take a few more pinches next week--I saw the gears turning in her head.

That would be the Silverstone Orange I reckon, though I think that one has been discontinued. Pöschl do make plenty of other snuffs that are easy on the nose and thus good for beginners.

I'm starting the day with some GH CM.

Porschl orange, cherry, and raspberry are good for beginners. I would say President is too.

I'm on SM Blue today, not so good for begineers as it is very strong.

I reckon most of the mentholated Pöschl snuffs are good for beginners. The Schmalzlers maybe less so, though I love them.

SM Blue is a good one, though I find the menthol a little strong so I generally mix it with equal parts of Tom Buck and Camphor & Mild. That makes for a great blend. I have half pound tubs of all three on hand... Smile

Giving the old taste-buds a respite from smoke this week-end, so working my way through a tin of GH Kendall Dry Orange. One of my favorite non-mentholateds.

Trying to "clean out the pipes" by running the gamut of mentholated snuffs: Hedges, GH CM, and Gletscher Prise. I may add a little Bernard Amostrinha if my right nostril ever opens up... too thick to risk otherwise!

I've been on Toque's Berwick Brown all evening waiting with my wife in A&E at the local hospital. She's broken her leg....

New to snuffing. The local B & M only carries Gletscher Prise, so that's what I've been snuffing the last couple of days. I like it, so now I'm gonna look into other blends and brands. Any recommendations for a new snuffer ?

There are so many varieties of snuff, I'd recommend popping over to Snuff Reviews and seeing what's out there. Definitely try an SP style, a natural or high toast style, a mentholated (esp. if you like Gletscher Prise), and if it appeals to you, a flavored snuff (akin to an aromatic pipe blend).

It's hard to know just what you'll like, but it's inexpensive enough (esp. online) that you can take a chance.

Wilson's of Sharrow, Toque, McChrystal's, and Dutch Windmill are all fine brands--you may not like everything you try, but you'll know that what you tried went through Quality Control.
