I've been spending the last week tied up in my apartment waiting to get rid of this cold or flu that's gotten to me.Seeing as smoking would probably turn this into bronchitis or pneumonia i can't smoke so snuff's been the only acceptable source of nicotine.
Anyway , I've gotten to the conclusion that the reason i like snuff so much is the wonderful variety of scents one can experience without changing the scenery too much. We can manipulate our senses all day long to bring back memories and emotions.
Most of the time we listen to music , we sometimes eat certain foods and at times look at pictures , but up untuill recently i've had no way of abusing my olfactory sense , this is were snuff comes in and is probably the main reason i like it so much.
I've just taken a whiff of toque champagne and it reminded me of some events quite some time ago , a party more than 9 years ago in my hometown , it's wonderful. The same way wilsons Royal George reminds me of some old people i know and wilsons raspberry although i don't like it much also reminds me of some parts in my childhood, it kind of smells like chinese menthol paste. Dholakia's Swiss chocolate reminds me of some chocolate i ate as a kid.I'd like to thank all the great snuff manufacturers out there , all the different smells bring back so many memories it's a reason in itself to snuff.
Most of my relatives and friends don't understand why my desk is filled with "so much tobacco you won't use in a lifetime" but each scent , each tin carries it's own value and i have you guys to thank, for helping me discover some of them and for producing them.
Why do you guys keep to snuffing so much ?

edit: Oh yeah and the nicotine lift is rather nice :p
It's also a lot more convenient when at work - I don't have to leave my desk and go and shiver outside in the howling wind and rain in order to have a ciggie...
and then, there are flavors not tried yet.
oh, oh! and then, there's this wonderful forum. Thank you Alex.
Thats a nice way to put it, lxskllr :)
I also agree with toffeenose, it just seems like a much more social way to enjoy tobacco. I've been able to take snuff whenever and wherever I please without worry.
Nice thread!!
There comes a time in every man's life, that the only way they can impress the girls is by sniffing a powdery tobacco substance up his old nose - and then the impression is usually sympathy - Bob, our time is now... ;^) …ROFL!!!
Now, back on topic - I love me snuff because I am a true tobacco worm!!! Sniffing Snuff is the only way of enjoying tobacco that I had not tried until about a month ago - and after trying it I must agree with all the other reasons stated above…
…plus…
…it REALLY is COOL!!! Sniffing snuff is new to me now and that makes it appealing - new flavors to try, getting ‘pinching’ down just right, figuring out how to use a ‘bullet’, mixing my own, and &c.!!! I think I’ll be sniffing snuff a long, long time, why??! JUST BECAUSE!!!
I want to see a picture! (and don't forget to dip some nasal snuff too while you're at it -I want to see that brush you made for me in your mouth)
Also brush your teeth with some Dentobac first!
To me the nicotine buzz from snuff is level and pleasurable and it doesnt leave me feeling like a fiend if I havent had a pinch in a few hours. Plus the amount of variety and history make it a hobby experience. Something to learn about, something to do, something to collect.
I'm trying to ween myself off of smoking and I do smoke far less since using snuff. But I still like a roll-up a couple times a day.
