Thread: Snuff Takers?

You want the snuff to rest in the nose, not behind the eye ball or in the back of the throat...Keep a tissue nearby you'll want to blow at some point...Shoot me a PM or Spacemonkeyjon one, I'm sure between the two of use we can get you something you would like to try...

Now that would be a interesting place to live in

I was so prompted too. Long time Garrett fan here. Like the sweet first and follow up later with scotch. I've tried other favors and such but I come back to Garrett. Learning how to take it in is key to the level of enjoyment like shooting good whiskey vs. sipping/savoring it.

Garrett was one of my first snuffs and is still a favorite. .. nosewarmer sent me my fist sample about a year ago . Now I always keep some on hand

I've been off the snuff for about 9 months due to a "bad" mixture... Red Bull and another German Schmalzler... Not an experience I want again...

Anyway, the weather is cooler and the aromas come through better for me this time of year, so tonight is a pinch of "Crumbs of Comfort", very nice "Minty" aroma...

The Red Bull I speak of...

Thanks for the clarification. I was thinking of a heart pounding caffeine/nicotine buzz....

NO that stuff is hard on the body

My great Aunt "dipped" Bruton snuff by putting it in her lip with a spoon. This was many years before I remember seeing Copenhagen and others on the market. I never tried powder snuff personally but don't get why she used it like that...
