    It has been a busy couple of years for me. Thankfully I have a pretty significant snuff and pipe tobacco stockpile

    Imagine my surprise, having not visited snuff sites to find another excellent range of snuff from Roderick. I ordered some old friends and some that have been around for some time. Only 1 I would not have ordered had I know it was mentholated. (Stormbreaker)

    For years I wanted to see a Rappee from Roderick. Roderick, the man who makes dreams come true, hit it out of the park with the Artisan line! I love all of the artisan snuffs I ordered, especially the ficus, JP and Barleywine.

    The scent of Pfalzer Freya reminds me of Kralingse Molens Gingerbread snuff

    The Stormbreaker is good, but if you don’t like mentholated/medicated you’re not going to like it unfortunately.  Maybe consider selling/trading it in the Marketplace?

    I thought I really loved medicated snuffs, but lately i seem to be turning my nose up at them.  Perhaps just have done too much and need to take a break.  Unfortunately, I have three giant tins of Stormbreaker, Hedges’ The Snuff, and J&H Wilson Medicated No99, and a medium tin of McCrystal’s O&G, a close to empty McCrystal’s Sunrise, along with a couple small tins of Jip! and three full 7.5G tap tins of Red Bull, LOL.  The last two are a bit more easy going, perhaps just because I’ve already gone through a couple small tins of Jip! and almost two tap tins of Red Bull.

    Maybe I just have to power through the initial burn and just get used to one or a mix of these as a daily driver.  Or they could be situational, only good for when I feel in the mood for some chill. Then again, I have been taking some of the Medicated No99 while writing this post and craving more…. good to have choices!

    Yes, heavily mentholated/medicated snuff totally closes my sinus up. There is an elderly lady down the street that dips snuff, American Scotch snuffs.  I will probably see if she would like to try it.  Maybe she will like it and tell me where she catches all the fish I see her cleaning.  That woman is something else!

    Oh interesting, I was thinking mentholated would be more likely to OPEN your sinus, but maybe that’s why I’ve been feeling a bit blocked up especially when sleeping, doing a fair amount of menthol snuff.

    I have been doing some neti pots and it helps a lot but is still a bit of an issue.  I’ll try dialing back on the menthol and see if that makes a difference.

    Good luck with your lady friend, she might turn her nose up at (lol) snuff, if she’s used to dip/chew.  But it’s worth a shot.

    Mentholated/medicated snuffs will initially open up your sinuses, but then later there is a rebound effect that closes them. Regular use can lead to chronic stuffiness.  This is similar to some otc nasal sprays like Afrin which recommends discontinuing use after 3 days.

    This is one of the reasons I mix up the types of snuff I used in a given day. Besides, I like variety.

    It’s true but for a few snuffers,  I think there maybe a work through were you get stuffed up and then eventually it just stops stuffing you up.  I can’t really comment as I use so many different snuffs that I never get bunged up.  I know one forum member who uses Jip like it was going out of Fashion and he never gets bunged up.

    I’ve gone from 95% menthol to like 99% non menthol.  My nose definitely likes the  non menthol better when I’m doing a lot.
    I do have a history of sinus/allergy issues and light to moderate snuff use definitely seems to help, at least if my nose isn’t really bad.  I use Afrin spray a lot less that I used to during allergy time and aircraft descents where the pressure hurts if I cant clear to equalize.
    Also the snuff to clear then Neti pot rinse works great (usually) if I’m having a cloggy day.

    For clearing my nose for a few minutes, menthol or non menthol doesn’t seem to matter.  I’ve now found toasts work great for a 10 minute clear.

    Jet fixer, I am the same.  The simple answer is salt.  At bed time and first thing in the morning I use my Neti Pot.  Yes, everyone on all the snuff forums know that I swear by my Neti Pot, but I also gargle salt water in the morning and the evening.  Helps reduce the nasal drip I get from Menthol snuffs.

    Interesting stuff Roderick and Jet Fixer, I’ll try a similar regime.  The Neti Pot does help a lot, didn’t think about using it in the morning

    Somewhat off topic, I emailed about getting a  J&H Wilson No99 (Menthol) rather than the No1 (SP) I ordered in Order #39373.  I emailed sales@toque but maybe my message wasn’t clear and I didn’t get a response yet,

    Also, is there any plans to get some of the Simply Snuff Snuffs on hand?  I don’t know if he’s been in contact with you at all, but he has some newly made snuffs that were just made a couple weeks ago.  They are available from a competitor right now but I’d prefer to continue to support Toque since you guys have been really good for me.

    Have a nice day!

    I never tried gargling.  I’ll try that too.
