Snuff….? Anybody Here Enjoy It?

[epazikas]

I wonder if any of you have ever enjoyed or tired the old school snuff which are made of tobacco.
I have used it casually and don’t find it addicted as many thinks…it is quite pleasant with many fragrances.

Well, it certainly had its place in the ye olde days when no one bathed ,at least not with any regularity.

I usually mix it with water and drink it at one shot. That's the same thing as Metamucil, right?

I don’t think so it is the same thing….

Big fan. I have a tin on me most times for those times I can't smoke. Actually, I credit snuff as being a big reason I don't smoke cigarettes anymore.

I guess you are referring to old time snuff (picture), I mean the one like the pirates in the movies used in the nose, right?
I am asking because there are other type of snuff that one puts on the mouth.

The only sniff snuff I remember was in a blue cardboard cylinder, the name was something something Navy. I was just a kid. The man, a friend of my Dad's, who used it, didn't snort it up his nose though, he'd wet his pinky finger, dip it in and put it in his lip like it was Copenhagen.

I have some English ones. Wilson's Ani Extra and Gawith Keswick. I thought they would help me with my pipe breaks, but not really. Too much of a flash in the pan. Still though, I dip into them occasionally if I want an extra quick buzz.

Not a regular user but I enjoy a pinch now and then. It’s too bad Bernard closed shop earlier last month. Their schmalzers are irreplaceable. Just placed an order of what little left I could find.

Oh. Yeah, nasal snuff. I went through a bunch of Copenhagen when enlisted, but not since.

Do you mean that you use snuff in the occasions you can’t smoke a pipe?
I like snuff as well from time to time, but I don’t feel it as a pipe replacement…the feeling of using it is just different for me.

I used it when I couldn't smoke a cigarette. Like at work trying to quit or on planes or family functions where I couldn't slip away or riding around in friends' cars. I've only been off cigarettes now for about a month.

You're right, snuff and pipes aren't close to the same thing. I found nasal snuff to be closer to a cigarette. An immediate dose of nicotine, like a shot that hits them slowly fades. If I'm really feigning for a cigarette, that shot in the schnoz is close enough. Close enough to steady my hands and calm my temper until I can remember myself anyways. Pipes are more of a vitamin for me. Take a few a day and it keeps a baseline nicotine in my bloodstream.

Yes, I use nasal snuff off and on. I enjoy it, but I always end up using it for a few days then going a month or more without using any. You go through quite a bit of tissue paper, or handkerchiefs.
