Pajarito con palo

@Huysmans, I assume you are right at mininal estimation. However, it may be much older than that. Top Mill was my very first English snuff. I was probably 14 years old back then, and I found it super strong in comparison with Poschl and my childish…

Late 2002? I'm not sure if the UK enforced this on its own initiative... But I do remember that snuff packages came without any health warnings when I started taking snuff about 25 years ago. I mostly used Poschl snuffs back then. I remember all th…

Homemade moist Burley toast, aged for one week. Made from 150 micron flour with the addition of 5% potassium carbonate, 2% sodium bicarbonate, 14% water. Pretty good, but I would love to blend it with some strong Virginia, which I don't have now.

I am really not sure how modern rappees (which Best Dark is) are made, but some snuffs (including some rappees) of bygone days were dyed using the combination of natural dyes (like logwood) / tannins and mordants, which contained sulphur compounds. …

Some folks have reported that Jaxons Apri Frosted is pretty decent at it. It's mentholated SP-type snuff, rich in apricot flavour. To grasp the texture, let me tell you that all Jaxons are produced by McChrystal's, and they use WoS-made flour for th…

@Mr_O, yes, that's it. Like a rye bread. Some brands are made from true dried rye bread and brewing relies on airborn yeast; the very best of them contain only natural CO2, low amount of sugar and come preservatives-free. But most are made from conc…

Salts. They can be visible even in super fresh snuff under good lightening, when you know what to look for ;). More of them appear with the moisture loss.

High five @SHbickel! I'm out of my words when it comes to Drexciya. Just breathtaking:

Bauska Kvass - my favourite Latvian kvass.

A pinch of fresh and strong homemade, based on Poschl Pueblo Classic rolling tobacco, which contains lovely 3.5% nicotine. Fine grind, dry, with 6% sodium carbonate. 6 g micro batch. Will mentholate it later tonight with menthol crystals, dissolved …

Welcome to the club, Lukas! Gawith Apricot is a nice snuff indeed, but there are many, many more to try ;). What snuffs did you order from Mr Snuff?

@swampyro, wow, that sounds like a vintage! How old is that snuff? Could you post a link to a photo?

@newbiesnuffer, same here.

In regards to the toast recipe posted on March 4, I'm pretty sure that 11% sodium carbonate stands for 11% sodium carbonatate decahydrate, which is 2.5% "weaker" than sodium carbonate anhydrous. If you use "regular" sodium carbonate (that is, anhydr…

Railroad Mills / Helme Snuff Mills in Helmetta (New Jersey), maybe? https://www.thehistorygirl.com/2012/12/tobacco-town-george-w-helme-snuff-mill.html

Dragon Madras + Tops Dry (2:1). HDT might blend nicely with Madras. I often mixed Irish No.22 with MG. One guy from this forum used Madras (TPS/TAS or NC Arya - something from hookah1) as a base flour for homemade Hedges. Basically, cased it with…

Yay! Sounds exactly that, I can imagine it's a great combo @newbiesnuffer

@pantsBoots, too much nicotine or menthol? Or both?

Dragon Madras

Indeed, I need to give No. 6 a second try and hopefully will do it someday. 5 or 4 years ago Six Photo 30 g tins came without a tape seal, but the inner side of the lid had a rubber gasket (O-ring). Like I mentioned before, my No.6 tin came with the…

@ALLex, that's a sound assumption, fat. If you are allowed to experiment, green schmalzler would be super easy to make (ground flowers + 18% ghee). However, I would expect anything but a rapid onset; most probably, as you said, the effects would be …

Personally, I'm even not interested in trying CBD snuff. I would simply eat or vape the stuff, if only felt an urge.

A. Le Coq Leivalinnase kali - Estonian kvass. Pretty good, yeast and preservatives-free.
