Urinal cake? Did I send you Krishan Saduma?
If the pinewood ice had less menthol I'd like it more. Who does want to smell pine trees when you live in the middle of a few acres of them? And they're pollen destroys you for 3 months?
Cheeta time.

LOL, Josh ... I warned you!  That jar that I made up with 10% almost literally knocked me out when I first opened it. The grind doesn't have that much effect on the Vitamin N. Total available nicotine and the pH are the biggest factors. That's what Josh is doing with the Rustica by adding Lime ... same nicotine but with a more alkaline pH. |

The Rustica definitely has the nicotine IN it, I'm just trying to make sure more is available... faster.
Think of a shot of Golden grain compared to half a beer. Bad analogy since I'm a recovering drunk... but that's the best I can do.
You did warn me, but I didnt think .5% would make that much of a difference... but damn... science slapped me in the face, literally.
10%... that had to be like swimming in ammonia lol

F&T Patchouli. I was leery of this one too, but I really like it. What can I say, I like the smell of patchouli.

Probably similar to the ammonia vials they use to snap people out of unconsciousness. I tried one of those once. Bad idea.

I got knocked out once by a poorly placed staff during a karate tournament and they stuck that thing under my nose. Man ... I popped up like a loaded spring! LOL |

6 Photo Anarkali, also pitch black, very fine, this one is very, very floral, but not in a bad way.
Side note, the scent from the Patchouli lingered for a long time. I enjoyed that.

Rustica .5% Lime = first pinch in each nostril. I actually like it more with the added moisture, it sits better up front. It smells just like plain old Rustica, just a bit more rich and earthy.
No burn, just a bit of a warming sensation.
Nic delivery: unsure, I just finished a pipe

Black Arabica. Dark and coarse, a little harder to snuff, but the coffee scent is very nice.

And, after this full on weekend snuff adventure, the one I have been saving for last, Silver Dollar Licorice. It's very smooth, the scent is lighter than Toque Absinthe but has the same profile. Very good.

It has been a blast, especially given the timing. I liked almost all of these, and a few really stand out as will-buy-in-excess snuffs.
I think the Patchouli will make for an awesome nightcap with the way it lingers.

It's been fun watching his journey around the world. I'm used to the snuff thread being pretty much dead, but this had kept me coming back frequently.
Now... if we could just convert some more to our cult... I mean group

I'm honestly surprised that there aren't more pipe smokers who use snuff!  |

Provides that simple, quick go-to between pipe breaks, which can be hard to come by sometimes.

And, for what it's worth, I'm taking all of the samples to work tomorrow, so more people will get to experience the journey I just went on.
