I'm a newbie to this, and I'd like to try it. Prices are cheap online, but I don't want to try a little, not like it, and then have an almost-full tin go to waste. Looking to spend very little money on a small sampler, if some kind B/SOTL would be kind enough to offer one?

Thanks in advance - Kegan

Let us know of your experience with this.

I've dipped or chewed from time to time, but the thought of nasal snuff, honestly, kind of makes me cringe.

I like it. I normally go for the Poschl snuff. I don't have any right now, otherwise I'd send you some. But in regards to buying a sample, tins are about $2 each. I'd just try out something and if you like it great if not you're only out about $2. No big deal.

Kegan,

I'm out of smash boxes for samples or I'd hook you up. The manufacturers below offer free samples if you email them:

I have emailed both sources, and am waiting for a reply. Thank you all! :-)

Dholakia is very strong i find try that in small about till you are used to take snuff will be alot easyer on your nose trust me lol

the toquesnuff at 1 pound 45pence is a awsome deal tho snuff is tax free in the uk you see

Yeah, if Indian snuff is anything like those clove cigarettes I had once, I'm sure it is strong lol and tax-free in the UK? Must be nice :-)

But free is free, so we'll try it and see. Thanks folks.

I received a reply from Toque and have sent them my address. The other site is unresponsive it seems.

I've tried the presidente brand. its good stuff.


Why does it make some people cringe? the stuff wakes you up!!!

Lol seems like it would, yeah.

its is but 360% tax on cigars tho :-)

...Wow, my condolences, brother :-)

i can get you a nice sack from my neighbor "fernando"........

oh wait, my bad, i misunderstood you here. thought you said "nasal stuff".

:-)

:-) ya lost me man, sorry lol

my local shop has some, let me know if you need the contact info

Received the toque today - two small yellow packets in an international air mail envelope marked SNUFF SAMPLES. Honestly thought it was going to be a bigger package lol.

Anyway, they sent me some original I guess - smells a bit like tobacco and soap, but it's not bad.

I took a little pinch and crumbled it against my hand - they tell you to use your flap of skin between the thumb and forefinger; that's commonly called a snuffbox. First shot up the right nostril was a little big I guess. You don't snort it, you sniff it gently into the front of the nose.

Smells like tobacco, oh yes. Had one lone tear from my right eye as a result :-) didn't sting too badly, and I didn't sneeze. The left nostril was a bit smaller.

I'm retaining the faintest aroma of tobacco; I think my pinches were a little small. It seems OK though, the only thing is that my nose is dripping a little on the right side - just the membrane getting irritated I guess, nothing hurts.

For the first few minutes, I could taste it in the back of my throat, the flavor of it. I think if I took a slightly bigger, more controlled dosage, it would evenly coat everything and help the flavor stay level.

Just my :-) though. Thanks to all -

Kegan

PS - Just added a *tiny* pinch more to the left side; smells kind of woodsy to me now.
