I haven't tried it. What is it like? Does it give you an energy boost? Do you taste it? What does it taste like?
It tingles and burns a little at first. Then you feel the nicotine very quickly. As soon as the tingling and burning has died down, and even some before, you smell the snuff's "flavor". It is a very intense smell sensation that lasts for around 30 minutes. It is almost as if you are tasting with your nose. Snuff comes in many flavors such as strawberry, tangerine, rum and maple, cherry, medicated (with eucalyptus or some other ingredient to open the sinuses and give a refreshing feeling), and coffee.
It does give you an energy boost. It is the nicotine that does this. After I use snuff I'm usually in a great mood for about an hour from the nicotine.

I enjoy nasal snuff quite a bit. I do go through periods where I won't use it at all and then I'll me in the mood to enjoy it and use it frequently.
One of my favorites is Gawith Apricot Snuff.
Kendal Snuff by Gawith & Hoggarth and Wilson's of Sharrow Snuff.

It never occurred to me that there was a flavor component to the enjoyment of nasal snuff. I may consider using it someday; but for now it doesn't have the appeal of pipes. A good deal of the pleasure I get from this pastime is all the futzing around I get to do with its toys. How much fun can you have playing with a snuff box and Kleenex? 
Nasal snuff is wondrous stuff especially when you can't smoke which is becoming increasingly common in many public places. Health issues associated with its use are insignificant. Gawith Apricot snuff is really nice. There are some snuffs that will nearly always make you sneeze (dry, light and very finely ground) like 'Irish Dry Toast' and some much more moist dark snuffs like 'London Snuff' that are easier on the nose. Personally, I detest medicated/menthol/eucalyptus snuffs (no one I know ever smokes a menthol pipe!) and I stay shy of most of the fruit salad brands. The best is just plain old, good quality tobacco, ground to a consistancy that suits you.
I recommend that you give it a try and then get ready for SBAD as opposed to PAD!
If anyone is interested I'll post some pics of my favorite snuffs that you might consider testing out. Experiment a lot - it's cheap as chips!!
Tip: If you take snuff - don't blow your nose on a white hankerchief - people will think you have run out of toilet paper!

While Phil's nosebleed is not amusing, your post is! LMAO.Cortezattic Said: Phil said one brand gave him a bloody nose. Did he rush the break-in process?
I have heard from a couple of other people that they got nosebleeds when they tried nasal snuff. I am thinking the snuff that they tried might have been really dry American style snuff. Like the ones they sell in the grocery store. I have never experienced a nose bleed from using snuff. I use moist snuff. It could also be that the nasal passage is very sensitive.
All in good fun. Snuff is a very old form of tobacco use, and I respect the "each to his own" principle. Heck, I may even try it. (Maybe I'd have more luck with my cubed Burley problem if I shoved it up my.... well, never mind.)
Tried to post a pic of some of my snuffs but it doesn't seem to have worked. I've posted it in my album instead.
Mick, you have to put the image location - meaning the actual url of the image, like this.

I don't generally take snuff if i can smoke instead Mick. But I've been known to use it often on occasions when smoking is a no-no. Teaching students for instance, or stuck in some labourious meeting all morning. It takes the edge off until I can escape!!
It's also handy at gigs, concerts, cinemas, museums etc etc.
I would recommend it to anyone who suffers from nicotine withdrawal including those who are trying to give up ciggies. Hugely cheaper than patches and more effective (a nicotine hit when you need it and not a constant feed from a patch). If you give it a try, let me know how you get on. Don't go giving up yer pipe thou fella!!!

haha Phil! Ozona Rasberry is like sticking your nose in your Aunty's knicker drawer!! Not one I would recommend for a first timer! Try Kendle Whiskey or anything that doesn't involve powerful mint or fruits! It takes some time to get used to them! The only fruit flavoured snuff I realy like is Gawith Apricot which is reasonably mild and quite pleasant. Don't try Irish High Toast if your driving - you won't stop sneezing for a week! Congrats on your bravery for giving Ozona a second try!!
It's snowing blankets here in London today - work is shut - I'm gonna light a bowl of Irish Flake and head for Hampstead Heath with my wee doggy to slip and slide about for an hour or two. Can't imagine life without my pipes!! Today I'll leave the snuff at home!
