Some snuff makes me run like crazy, some stop me up (so I dont use em), some dont even bother me and just deliver what I'm looking for. Irish 22, F&T HDT, and most "american" scotches just sit there nicely. Most of Toques do too.
Viking and SG turn on the snot factory, but not as bad as Taxi or NTSU.
Indians are a touch and go.
Now snuffing Toque Lime Toast.

Serious question here, do you guys have to clean your schnoz out like 50 times a day? I really enjoy snuff, the way the nic hits, in my experience anyway, has been more swift and energetic, as opposed to a pipe where it comes on long, slow, and mellow. But my sinuses suck and I feel like I'm toting a nasal mud factory after a few pinches. Some snuffs, such as Toasts, can be more clogging than others. In general, I snuff and then very shortly after give a couple good blows. You may want to try a more moist snuff and see if that helps. Lastly, if it really comes down to it, the NeilMed Nasal rinse is fantastic at clearing and soothing the sinuses: www.amazon.com/NeilMed-100-Sinus-Rinse-Complete/dp/B000RDZFZ0 |

Toque Lavender most of the afternoon The root beer is great, but I dare say the Desert Camp Fire is even better after I've had it a year. It was my "aromatic" in my Cheeta/Rustica/Aromatic lineup at work the other week. I like it because it's a great tobacco base that doesn't get overwhelmed by the top scent. For that matter, the Root Beer is similar. Darin makes good snuff. |

What I wound up doing was throwing some standard saline nasal spray in my jacket pocket, that way I can kind of rinse a few times a day. Helps with the dry feeling the weather keeps causing also. |

This is a good idea, and I should probably do this from now on. |

Bought a tin of McChrystal's Original. Had no clue it was mentholated. Moisture was much better than what I'm used to, but still, menthol. Gave it to a co-worker.
Recommendations gents? I enjoy the hell out of the Irish 22, but it is pretty dry. I'm looking at placing an order this weekend or early next week. Viking Dark and Thor's Hammer are on my list, along with Toque Quit. What else is on the "must try" list?

No, I noticed that Taxi Red appears to be pretty popular, was thinking about grabbing that too. If im gonna pay the shipping, I might as well try a few things. Just no menthol, ugh... |

Oh, hmmm. My favorite Indian snuff have menthol.
Taxi Red is good. It's a COARSE cut. Good scent. I like the SG Kendal Brown Scented, too. I like a fine grind best. Almost powder. That's why Cheeta, Rustica, and High Dry Toast are my favorite. The other ones I mentioned are coarser, and more moist, with very nice scents.

Eh, my mistake, Taxi is South African, the Indian one I was looking at was White Tiger. I guess I'll just pick up a mix of different stuff, start trying to sort out what I like. Appreciate the recommendations, I'll definitely grab some of those. Snuff is great for the office, where I don't have the option of taking 20 minute pipe breaks. |
