I highly recommend checking out “Simply Snuff” on YouTube, he will frequently tell you the “vitamin N” content of the snuff he reviews (nicotine being a no-no word there I take it).
You can’t really go wrong with Toque Quit or McCrystal’s Smokers for high nicotine, but I haven’t tried the latter.
There’s lots of different flavour profiles, some people like me prefer more menthol, eucalyptus, etc, often called “medicated” snuff, but others like other flavours. You should try a few different ones if you have the means to. There’s tons of other flavours such as “toasts” which seem to do the trick for cravings for me and have a smokey type profile. Just check out Toque’s website for all the different flavours on offer, you could spend a lot of time with just the in-house brands (Toque, Silver Dollar, Artisan, and Toque USA iirc). You can get a wide variety of fruit flavours if you have a preferred one. There’s also SPs which have a very interesting flavour that I need to order more of, Simply Snuff will sometimes call a snuff a “Top Banana!” as in his favourites, and Wilsons of Sharrow “Best SP” was one of them, and I agree, very good snuff.
Some things to consider as well are some are a bit more difficult to take than others. Something like the “Quit!” above or another with a somewhat medium grind is usually the easiest for beginners, while fine ground snuff can be hard to keep in the nose where you want it, and course ground (which are often prized) can present their own issues for newbies.
Best of luck, and if you have any questions feel free to ask us. Someone should know the answer, hopefully!
