I've been using snus for about 4 months now.. I've been using snuff for about a month, though I only use snuff a few times a week. Its kinda like a treat.

I've learned that I can't snuff much from about Thanksgiving to Memorial Day due to allergies but the summer and fall are great. Just took a blast of Old Paris while baking a prilla of Phantom Brown.

WK,

I have allergies as well. I found that using American plain Scotches or English Toasts during pollen season will make my nose run at first but after a few pinches it really coats my nose (keeping the pollen out). This past year was very very mild allergy wise compared to others (note: other more coarsely ground or perfumed snuffs do not work the same) so hit the HDT and Tops plain when hey fever begins to set in and see if it does not help.

just my 2 cents

Thanks Dog. I'm pretty much doing that. In the winter I have a reaction to the exposure to plain old dust. Being inside more in the winter I can't avoid it. I found humidifying the air helps but not enough to snuff like I can in the summer. I neti and everything but it just doesn't work. That dreaded nasal spray (Afrin or other) works but then I'm chasing the dragon until I decide to stop using it. I try to avoid it all together. By spring this past year I was suckin' snus again like a mad man so I just waited until my nose cleared to even try it. Next spring I'll try the snuff barrier method for sure.

Snuffing outside is just pure pleasure.

. I'l like to find an SP with the grind/dryness of say Garrett or Toque's Natural Toast. I came pretty close with a tin of Covenant citrus blend that I got from a SnusOn box pass but not quite there.

Only a few times, out of curiosity and after reading that this is how southern women used to use snuff. I can't do the smoky scotches but found the sweet scotches to be delicious. It's messy though and it made my mouth feel like crap so I stick to using nasally. As far as the nic hit, I didn't notice, but that's coming from someone who can chain snus extra sterk portions and not feel anything..

When I lived in Charleston, SC I bought a small can of "Honey Bee" and used it in my bottom lip I never did snuff any of it It's actually very tasty. I remember when I was a small kid my Dad would take us to visit an elderly Aunt, she always had a coffee can sitting beside her to spit into and a can of something she would dip a twig into and then wipe it into her lip.

According to my Mom, her Mother (from thomasville,nc) used to dip Railroad Mills Sweet. And like was said, spit in a old coffee can. Now a few months ago I bougt a small can of it and snuffed it. It hurt soooo bad..lol So now I'm thinking about dipping it to get some use out of it.. but it just seems too dry to dip. For some reason I think dip should be moist. Anyway I'm gonna give it a shot!

Well hell...................... I'm from South Carolina.........so yea I've done it.

I've even mixed it in with some Probe (or some snus I had that I did not care much for). That was by far the best way to go about it. It is really just to fine and dry to pile in the mouth.

There is a reason dem ol gals used a bit of hickory stick to dip it with.

But hey you only live once....................

I occasionally do. I like Tube Rose and place it in my lower lip with a spoon. I'm not to keen on the stick method myself as it gets EVERYWHERE but with a spoon once it settles in place it is pretty mess free until you try to get it out.

[deadohsky]

I have never tried snuff. I am curious though, hence, i do lurk in the snuff section but make no posts. I'm sure i will try it at some point, but am still leery since i tend to sneeze easily and am worried about the snuff exaggerating that problem.

[N0mad]

@deadohsky I sent a bunch of samples to another member here in San Antonio and he didn't even have to ask I'm not sure if I did him a favor now all he does is think about getting more snuff so be careful you might like it, consider yourself warned ... Your local grocer usually carries some sort of American Scotch W.E. Garrett, Tops or something and they are real cheap for a small tin.

[LaZeR]

I'd tell her to keep the dreaded cancer smoke away from you also....wait!....are you hand picked? (lol)

It's good to see you back, LaZer...always good to see you here.

What can I say.....

Any of you folks know why "olderthandirt" (OTD) hasn’t posted in a while? Like 2 months ago was the last time.
