Can anyone recommend a few classic snuff blends that best cover the main categories? Straight, floral, German, menthol, etc. I would like to try, but wouldn't know where to start.
Anyone use Nasal Snuff?

Floral I would say Tube Rose, it has some straightness, Navy or RailRoad Mills would be my opinion on straightness. I haven’t used any menthol or German snuff. Hope this helps.
I think it depends on the container. The plastic tap containers seal really well. I’ve got a container of Poschl Silverstone Orange from 2004 that I revisit from time to time as a special treat. I don’t have the palate to tell if it has changed in almost 20 years, but it’s still delightful. I’d buy a lot more if I could!
Never tried a straight or unscented snuff so can't recommend one.
F&T Seville - citrus
Hedges The Snuff - menthol
Wilson Rows of sharrow - floral
F&T Irish Toast - leather & tobacco
Never tried any of McCrrystals snuffs, as good as or better than hedges would you say?
menthol: Jip
fruit: for citrus, I like Otto classic OM and Rosinski's Sans Souci. It's has some menthol in it though.
straight: Toque Natural
German: Rosinski Frankfurter or Oberländer for Schmalzler style snuffs
SP: GH SP
floral: McChrystals vintage velvet

Wow I'm surprised at how many nasal snuff users there are here.
I've been using snuff off and on for over 20 years. I was introduced to snuff when I was an underground coal miner as a young man (almost 10 years underground), the English and polish miners I worked with would always bring a bunch back when they went back to visit.
My favorite snuff is McChrystal original, some years back I managed to order straight from the factory before the rules changed. In fact I still have 2 unopened 200gr tubs of McChrystals.
I don't really do much nasal snuff anymore, I found that it clogs my nose even if I use it sparingly. I also found that using snuff reduced the taste and enjoyment of my pipes. For times when I can't smoke my pipe, I prefer to dip (top deck/no spit) and usually carry a tin in my pocket.

I'll have a tin usually lasts me 2 months. I'll just breath into it before closing it and it keeps it fresh. If it really dries out I put it in a container with wet paper towel and overnight it'll be good as new
Straight- Samuel Gawith Kendal original, Kendal brown, silky dark,
Taxi red, Viking blonde, Viking thors hammer, Viking brown, Viking dark,
Floral- wilsons of sharrow Rose, wallflower
German-Rosinkski is very praised but I haven't tried it
Scmalzers is the German style to me. Poschl SF sudefrucht and the rest of those are all good
Menthol I'd only get one as some peoples nose have a reaction and cant do it. Ill have a wake-up blast of menthol to wake up but that's it
Redbull
Also Gawith hoggarth camphor menthol is great
SP is a category. Gawith hoggarth SP is awesome. Wilson's of sharrow best SP, Tom buck, grand Cairo is very different with a floral note, sp 100, gold label
Then fruit
Samuel Gawith Celtic talisman is cherry goodness, Raspberry, there's coffee flavour, black Arriba,chocolate. I find Sam Gawith and G&H use the best base tobacco and is easy to take. WoS is kind of a plain tobacco but heavily scented.
That's just the tip of the iceberg I probably have a lifetime and got into it 5 years ago. Artisansnuff.com is your best site to order from he's in a price war with mrsnuff and is way cheaper
Yeah it messes with my sinuses pretty bad. The small stash I bought last month will last me forever.
^ I clicked on this thread again, naively eager to hear @sablebrush52's thoughts and preferences on snuff. That rascal! 
I don't use it. I must be developing some sort of dyslexia because the first I skimmed past this thread I read it as anal snuff, and wondered if it really was a thing.^ I clicked on this thread again, naively eager to hear @sablebrush52's thoughts and preferences on snuff. That rascal!
I think I saw that in a movie once. Butt, we're getting a little off-topic...
McChrystals isn't a bad snuff at all. It's not amazing, but it's certainly not going to disappoint. I'd say it's worth a smaller tin to try if you were curious about tossing one in for your next order.
Eta: I've never had Hedges, so I can't compare. But it's right there with Silver Dollar if you've ever had that.
A mucous membrane is a mucous membrane, I guess
