I had seen some talk of snuff awhile back and really wanted to get some but with all the BS for ordering online and US laws...blah-blah, found I could make pretty good snuff on my own...I have tried it with SG-Bracken flake (you have to work on moisture levels you like, but want it on the dry side...then follow below...some SG flake makes for some GREAT/powerful snuff :wink:
Here is some info I found out there and worked very well for me
Making your own snuff

It is very easy to make your own snuff. All you need to do is grind your tobacco in a pepper mill or coffee grinder until you have a fine powder. If you have a good coffee grinder, you should be able to make your snuff with one pass through the grinder, just make sure you have dried out the bacci real good first...
Scenting your snuff

I recommend using one drop of scent on a small piece of blotting paper for one kilo of snuff. Do this after grinding your tobacco. Place the tobacco and the blotting paper into a sealed container for a couple of days to allow the tobacco to absorb the smell. Grind up enough tobacco to make a small amount of snuff, then test it. This allows you to add more scent if required. Cloves, lavender, otto of roses, orange flowers and jasmin can be used to scent your tobacco in the same way as mentioned above, adjusting the amount of scent as required.

I started the thread about snuff. I wanted to try it, but didn't know anything about it.I agree with you about the laws regarding shipping over state line. Its total idiocy. If I want american snuff, I have to buy it from europe. It makes no sense. Oh and congratulations on making good snuff yourself

Thanks brah, it really is easy to make and you can work the scents to get something you really like, then snag one of those empty snuff bullets from online dealers and you are good to go when you can't puff :puffy:

Genius. Stressful busy day at McDonalds? No pipe/ciggs/too cold to smoke outside for break? No problem, just go into the bathroom so no one thinks I'm doing coke and have a snort.

I like the Posh model of bullet...click left...sniff...click right...sniff but I heard it got bad reviews on clogs, so the basic acrylic bullets still rock for under $8 :wink:

I know, I ordered/canceled it and got the Acrylic Snuff Bullet (buy one get one free for $7.99) by snuff bullet...so many mixed reviews on all of these things...seems hit/miss with them so we shall see...I'm just using an old cigar punch to carry my snuff around at this time, which works without issue :D

I was wondering about using S/G twist tobacco for making snuff.
http://www.samuelgawith.co.uk/?PageId=3&CatId=5
This link talks about how snuffs are made. See the second method. Seems like the twist tobacco is what would be used?

Then put into a Turkish coffee grinder like this. And run threw a fine seive.

What do you guys think? I hear the twist tobacco is high in nicotine?
