The first stuff I ever tried was a tap box of Gawith apricot in 2008 from Don Johnson’s Tobacco World (still a fine tobacconist, but really only carries domestic smoking products). I believe the box is still buried in the back of my pipe cabinet, and probably still just as stale as the day I bought it. It was a few years later at the Albatross that I tried some proper, moist British snuff and fell in love (Still not a huge fan of menthol, but I’ve got some in my collection). I don’t remember the owner’s name, but he kept a stock for eccentric customers like myself. He even gave me a snuff box in exchange for a handkerchief. I mostly snuffed KB original in those college years.I still prefer to put an American dry snuff in my lip than in my nose.

Then I found Mr. Snuff and found I could buy almost anything I wanted. My biggest regret was a blend from 6 photo. I don’t remember the name of the blend, but I just gave myself a migraine remembering the first and only pinch I took of it. Half of that pinch is probably still in my lungs.I’ve been gun shy about Indian snuff ever since and really only buy English blends these days.

I apologize for not participating in the forums, but I don’t have easy access to snuff the way you all do. I just place my order, wait for a week or more, and hope for the best. But I appreciate you guys helping me with my selections.

My most used is Samuel Gawith Kendall Brown Original from my college days. They started a “no tobacco” policy without asking my opinion and I started using snuff in revolt.

Viking Persica is my all day snuff.

Artisan Resolute or Toque Rose have become new favorites. I haven’t decided which just yet. I’m leaning toward Resolute and plan on a bulk order for my next purchase.

Surprisingly, I am partial to Taxi Red and Dholakia Black. I guess I like the smell of flowers as well as what they’re grown in.
