Am I missing something with nasal snuff?

[rickcharles606]

Yeah I've still been dabbling with snuff but havent been using it a great deal. Perhaps when I find something extremely cheap like the 10 pack sampler form toque i will give it another try but honestly i just don't think I'm too into snuff. I'd have to get a can of something that has a great scent that lasts atleast 10 minutes to get back onboard.

address please :-)

You need to try White Elephant.

Are you trying to put the OP off snuff for life GV?

You need to try White Elephant.

So let me get this straight.....if we can't derail a thread.......we try and kill the OPer

Nice

After opening the can........the next step did not involve you unzipping the pants and dropping trousers did it.........it might be a mere confusion of ends....

Seriously you might want to try a Mullens snuff (Choco- Virginia based/Bon Bon/AP) If you cannot smell those.......its you

A couple of point here

1) Toque flavor is great but it tends to breakdown quickly in the tin......you may have old stock

2) Grind has a lot to do with how snuff "hits" you. Toque is on the finer end of things.....maybe a coarser moister snuff like Molens would be a better fit for you to start with

3) I never got a big hit from snuff (more like a gentle bump) mainly I use it because I enjoy the smell

Anyway......if you try anything new let us know the results of round 2.....and if you do decide to go round 2 it might be worth going with a new brand(s)....Toque is great but it did not work for you.....see if another make will do the trick

lol - that is strange

[Thunder_Snus]

Are you taking enough? I take as much as will fit up my nose and smack!!!

I have taken rather larger pinches and have kept packing it in. I guess the stuff just is not for me. Perhaps I have a strange nose

I'm also looking to try snuff.
I tried to buy from Toque, but their cc processing was kaput. Dropped in at the local tobacconist, but all they had were a couple 5g silver dollar tins for $5.50 each. They had a nice General display, including loose - which I would have bought if it wasn't more then a month past expiration.

I guess I'll just wait until Toque is back up...

Some snuffs are a lot stronger than others. Any South African snuff, Indian White snuffs, and American Scotches will give you a very solid nicotine hit.I've always found Toque's scenting rather light and not long-lasting in the nose. Try something else before you give up entirely. Also the best snuffs aren't scented at all, just made from tobacco.

My 10 can sampler from toque arrived today. I rushed inside and cracked open the can of chocolate, remembered what everyone had told me and gently sniffed it into my nose. It was perfect. No coughing or sneezing or snuff in my throat. But it didn't seem like it was doing anything. There was no nicotine hit, and I can't smell anything. I've been taking snuff in and out all day now and I can't seem to be satisfied with it. When i originally sniff it into my nose I'll detect a faint scent of what the product is but 10 seconds later it is gone. No smell, no feeling of having nicotine in my body, nothing. Is this normal? Is snuff similar to fruit stripes gum where you don't "taste" or smell anything 10 seconds later? Am i doing something wrong?

What else did you get? I'm a pretty big fan of Toque. I haven't had Chocolate----just doesn't interest me much----but I have had Toffee and Vanilla. And I like Toffee a good bit, but I might not have recommended it as a first Toque. Chocolate might not have been either. The florals and menthols, as some others have said, tend to linger much longer, and the 'toast' type snuffs tend to be a bit stronger in my experience. Lime Toast and Natural Toast are my favorites in that arena.

Make him sniff that makla stuff! A big handful of it.

[GoVegan]

sounds like you are a cannidate for the white elephant or the dhoakia white. That is if you are man enough.

yes!!!! +10000000000000000000000

Dont listen to those two evil bastards, Thunder, unless you want to be kicking yourself in a circle on the floor like Angus Young!

Course, if you DO listen to them, I have some Willie Pete you could trade me for! hehe.

Serious, try some of everything:
F&T HDT
WoS IHT #22
SG Wild Duck
Viking Dark
WE Garrett Scotch
Toque Rose
Toque Spanish Gem
NTSU Black
SG Black Rapee

That's all you're missing. I'd recommend those only cause they are all good representatives of their genres.
Indian snuffs... now that's a whole other section that I only recommend to those who want to smell body odor, dung, and incense all day.
