- Snuff hit Britain at the beginning of the eighteenth century, and never really left. Since smoking was banned in the Houses of Parliament, snuff hit record sales with the English MPs circle, and this dandy habit lives on today.
On this episode of “How Do They Do It”, we venture through the quirky process of making snuff. And finally see how it reaches the entrance of the House of Commons chamber where the MPs are welcome to take a pinch of.

a lot of politicians have the same habit today but I think the snuff has been bleached to a cleaner white powder
🤣
Its actually mint. The tobacco tears up your nostrils.
Hey don’t call us out dam we have to pay rent 2 😒
Apparently nice to combine with rent boys, preferably underage, according to the politicians in the UK

I get my white snuff from Colombia.
Very fancy.
Had better experiences with the Peruvian snuff myself.
some of them politicians are snuffing that kind too
Can we talk in private about your snuff distributor?
We got some 98% right now...

If he doesn't drink tea, he will explode.
"Wanna chuck the tobacco in a bin?"
"Nahhh just toss her on da floor"
Glad to see how sanitary the factory is.
Well tobaco is a natural insecticide.
@@gabrielbelouche3954 Have worked in a tobacco processing factory... The ammount of insects reptiles mamals and birds that don't OD on tobacco is surprising considering how sick a floor cleanup can make you.
@@gabrielbelouche3954 and it also gets rid of humans mind you
@@Sketch1994 Don't OD?
@@gabrielbelouche3954 more than 99% of tobacco related deaths are not od’s though. It’s difficult to od off of tobacco AND have it be fatal.
What a legend that guy is. "it's very dangerous, we need to watch it very carefully, it could explode or catch fire".
"Time for me to get a cuppa tea". :)
The moment I decided to hit like immediately 😔🙏
Welcome to England
Oh I love to snort things from the floor, especially if there's ammonia, salt and lye in it!
Yea that blows my mind man! I can't believe they are allowed to make and sell that!
@@GanjaGuard420 hey in the usa they clean chicken with ammonia
this reminds me of coke
It's a tobacco product. It's unhealthy regardless. But it's lime, not lye. And lots of other food items and medicines are produced using way more dangerous chemicals than salt or ammonia. You can't really compare what a chemical does on it's own vs. when it's mixed with other chemicals. It just doesn't work that way. Both of the elements in regular table salt are deadly on their own. But combined they make things taste better and are vital for our body to function properly. So yea it's unhealthy to use snuff, but not because of the dust on the floor or the chemicals used to produce it.
Ammonia evaporates, so there's probably not much in the finished product. Lime is caustic, but not poisonous, harmless when diluted.
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate Clive the master Snuff maker?
sure, but "can we all" stop saying "can we all" on every single video?
No
@@elijahjakobsen7898 May we all take a moment to appreciate your honesty.
@@Coolcarting i gave your replay a down vote!
@@probe26 I gave your sentence a reread.
Who else thought Clive was going to the job centre to get his money for snuff? 😄
Honestly, I thought I was duped into an anti tobacco vid.
Thats just Brutal
I could remember several years ago, I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Was actually addicted to snuff and cigarettes. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Snuff and cigarettes addiction really destroyed my life. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Yes very sure of Dr.benfungi. They helped me too to overcome my anxieties and heal from the root of much of my "mental Illness" which is all rooted from trauma, abusive relationship and a chaotic childhood and addiction. shrooms saved my life. Totally healthy.
Congrats! I'm really happy for you that your mom decided to help you. I always admire those who beat their addiction. Knowing it's possible to fix your life knowing there's people out there that have done what I thought was impossible gives me hope I will make it through as well. Those who share their experiences don't know how much it helps when you're about to give up, it gives you the strength knowing somone who actully know what it's like to go through this tell you it's possible, it's not the same somone telling you you can do it when they have no idea what it's like, but hearing somone who knows what it's like that helps a lot since you understand it firsthand and made it out gives so much hope. so thanks for sharing.
How do i reach out to him? Is he on insta
I would like to know from those who have solved PTSD and anxiety, if they have solved it definitively and how to understand what quantity of psilocybin to take and when, for how long. And can you really heal without having an addiction?
Thanks to everyone for helping me understand, I want to understand if it's
something that can help me solve the problem (I have c-ptsd)
Does he make delivery across the country? I'm here in Poland 🇵🇱
Politicians: "Cannabis is very deadly drug"
Also Politicians: *Snorting fucking tobacco*
not just tobacco... tobacco from the factory floor, ground up in open machines, well oiled so any drippings and spider droppings etc. will give it the distinct flavour... ;)

Deadly to the spirit.

People snort floor dirt with their snuff nice 🙂.
You are sniffing floor dirt literally every time you take a breath indoors.
@@FortWhenTeaThyme maybe if you never clean your floors. It's called a vacuum and a mop
@@bradlyj9760 Doesn't matter how much you clean, particles of dust and dirt are everywhere. We have multiple structures and systems in our bodies precisely for the purpose of filtering them out.
@@FortWhenTeaThyme They also provide tasty little snacks
@@LtShifty 😂
There's some great comedic timing in this. Gotta love how the snuff maker is the color of granite too. Hilarious.
"We have to watch this bearing or there might be an explosion"
*Leaves to make tea*
Good show, Clive
LOL. Snorting potash, ammonia, salt, lime, tobacco, dirt from the floor and grease from the grinding machine up your nose sounds like the most British thing ever.
Atleast they're not smoking :P
@@Schmorgus But is it really any better? May as well do meth.
@@dinkledankle as a meth addict im offended
@@dinkledankle It's actually much better because you can't get cancer from it, it also eliminates all of the dangers of using cigarettes (except addiction) fun fact in a Kashubia region of my country it is so popular that it's commonly used as a runny nose medicine
@@wiktorlipinski5952 of course you can get cancer with that.
I knew a guy a while back that was so obsessed with snuff that he told me he made films about it every weekend. I think his obsession took its toll on his relationships because he was with a different girl every week

Used to work with an Old Geezer about 20 years ago and he always had it with him. I was young and a bit dim. I actually thought he was on the Columbian marching powder! 🤣🤣🤣 good old Alf
I absolutely love the consistency of the Sam Gawith snuffs. They're not exaggerating when they say that machinery can't be bested. They must use some choice leaf too, the buzz is pretty unique and noticeably different from the other brands like Wilsons, they do have some great varieties but theyre so fine, and the effect has a lot less character IMO
I've always got a better nicotine effect from Wilsons of sharrow. Really like the snuffs they make. But do enjoy some Samuel gawith stuff occasionally
Love there pipe tobacco the best of the best
I LOVE THE TOBACCO FACTORY HYGIENE
Ikr!! And then veeery carefully in one motion....we dump it on the floor and ad caustic chemicals
arnarize i really want to try this stuff actually lol, I used to smoke, now I use snus instead, I was wondering how this was, it’s not as bad as cigarettes at least lol.
@@democracydignityhumanrights, Ever see anybody without a nose or face from sinus cancer? I’m sure if you do a search here, you can see for yourself. OOOOOO PRETTY.
I kept waiting for the part where they clean the fucking product!
@@arnarize if u think this is bad u should see the inside of the American phillip Morris tobacco factory or the kitchen of most bars and restaurants most of the ones I worked at especially the late one had mold and dirt and about no buillshit 500 flies in the kitchen and restaurant and years of dirt and grime on the walls ond counters with stagnant waste water every were I feel sorry for the people that unknowingly eat there and for the workers that have to work around filth and bugs with no air conditioning or ventilation
Clive, you're my hero. I'd practically roll over and die for a tour of that factory, let alone have a job working there. Those machines are just amazing, and the process speaks for itself. Samuel Gawith products - both their snuff and pipe tobacco - are the best in the world. 👍
and you also get free snuff,it lingers in the air
@@mrlazli In the air and on every surface(!) but there's more of the finished product than you could ever use in an opd snuff mill, and it's cheap. 👍BTW, Gawith Hoggarth has been posting new videos recently. Their videos show a very old snuff mill.
@@bveracka I live in Kendal, I say hello to him at least 3 times a week, I had no idea he was a master snuff maker and YT famous.
Wilsons of sharrow make better English snuff in my opinion. But I still like Samuel gawith stuff. Firedance is a great snuff
@@JudeTheTH-camPoopersubscribe SG is good, but the scent lasts way, way too long. If I take a pinch of Firedance or Elmo's Reserve, I'm still smelling it hours later. I like the scents, I just don't want them to linger like that. A good snuff should be there and gone within 10-20 minutes, but that's just my opinion.
I like the fact that they're still using the original production and machinery.
Many regions and communuities use snuff, its popular in Alpine countries like Austria, some land of Germany. We also use it in Kashubia, in northern Poland.
Looks like a perfect place to lose an arm in.
I’m not joking I bought a can of scotch snuff when I was 24. I snuffed it regularly for years and even gave up chewing for a year and just snuffed. I’m 54 now and am totally convinced with regular use it will last my life time! Crazy
Nothing like seeing a picture with someone's finger shoved up their nose. Really makes me want to use Snuff.
right?
it seems like every video on youtube thats about snuff thats not from an independent creator, has some sort of ridiculous click bait with it
I enjoyed the part in the thumbnail, when the British politicians are rolling around, shoving brown caked fingers up inside their noses. A fascinating system of government.
it seems that every snuff related video on youtube has some ridiculous sort of click bait attached to it
So this answered none of the questions it posed.
Snuff is finely ground tobacco and they sniff it because they aren't allowed to smoke. How did you miss this?
@@CaligulaInvictus Because she's snorting some strong snuff.
Gawith still makes some of the best pipe tobacco I have ever smoked.
I wish pipe tobacco was affordable, vice tax makes it $120 for 20g here, and snuff is equally stupid. 6 quid of snuff in the UK is about $150 here - if it existed here, it's a criminal offence to buy or sell smokeless tobacco products even though they're significantly safer than smoking tobacco. So I've been making my own, quit smoking overnight. Instant cure for a quarter century of smoking. Mostly because the governments idea is to tax the heck out of us through it. As if somehow increasing the price cures addiction, clearly they haven't looked at crack or heroin addicts in that light, they give them free drugs here. But us smokers? Oh boy, we're a gravy train.
Smoking in Australia is like buying a brand new Lamborghini every seven years then burning it and buying another. Yet they refuse us medical service if they SUSPECT it may be smoking related even though we pay ten times more tax than regular citizens and 100% of the tax goes to the healthcare system. This is why I've bought seeds online and now am growing crops of the stuff to make my own. Downside is it's illegal to grow it, even though tobacco is legal. Upside is if the cops come I'll say it's marijuana which is legal to grow (for personal use) even though marijuana is illegal. Got to love that batshit insane logic.
tl;dr If you're Australian and like fine tobacco products - move or grow your own in a clandestine growing booth in your room like you're a dirty junkie hiding their habit.

Didnt expect that Samuel Gawith company looks like that, amazing.
Seems hygienic
Its for the politicians, so i dont care.
“On a bad day a lot of choice words said to it.”
Him talking about the machine.
So is this the same Beetle snuff that the Ferengi leader Zek uses on Deep space nine ? Makes sense that polititions would sniff it
Me: *stares at grandpa's ashes*
I love how on one end floor sweepings are the devil's work and at the other it's the best of the bunch.
I swear the UK is the saddest place in the world lol. Politicians snorting drugs, gloomy weather, dumping the very product you snort up into your sinuses on the floor, then dumping chemicals on it. Great stuff.
1:45 *looks young for someone in their early 200’s!*
They all look like crackheads in an abandoned building acting like they working when the police arrive.
Can't lie, when Clive said he was going to get a cup of tea I chuckled, what a cool lad.
Why dump it on the floor, that's disgusting
yeah and tabacco its self isnt...
Ye, Tabacco isnt disgusting. You cant really have an opinion on something if you are to young to even experience it. lmao
kay Just don`t bomb a building "Ahman" xd
wow ur not even original lmao
And what does that make you? Arguing with someone you suspect of being a child.
Hundreds of years and no one thought to use a bucket instead of shoveling it onto the floor?
well itd need to be a big bucket. why not just shovel it around a clean floor?
@@albertparish1729 our definition of clean is very different.
@@mr.wookiesack No it's not. This is the UK we're talking about here. You're not taking into account all the cleaning he must have to do for his business to even meet regulations and be legal. There's no way that floor's dirty, his business would be shut down immediately if that was the case.
@@albertparish1729 oh sweet summer child
@@albertparish1729 You can literally see years of powder buildup all over the entire factory? what are you on about?

I clicked on this video fully expecting some April fools video until I realised:
"wait, he is actually doing it🤯 "
"Well sharpe i will be going onwards tomorrow and scouting ahead for my contacts *sniffs snuff* ill expect you there in three days?"
2:46 "... he hand picks the best of the bunch". Does he throw away the rest of the raw tobacco that he just bought then?
He probably sells cheaper lower quality batches too
These machines have been running for hundreds of years. Let that sink in. They DEF! don't make em like they used to.
This explains why SG snuff is so fluffy. 4 hours in the grinder is the magic number.
yep 2hrs for each nostril😎
I picked up this box someone thought was supposed to be used for credit cards or something.
Well, I didn't need a credit card to buy it, for I picked it up for $5 bucks.
It was a sterling silver box used for snuff .
It had all the British sterling hallmarks . Not to bad of a find.
Also picked up a cigarette hammered sterling silver case that day .
I paid $15 for that .
It's not so easy these days finding those pieces at those prices anymore.
the bloke reminds me of super Hans
Imagine if that place burned down they’d be all covered in smoke
i still can't decide if this is real or im in a literal fever dream
WAKE UP
Snuff has been around for decades, I'm Canadian and my grandfather used to do it back in the 70's
decades ? it has been around for centuries
Now I know why their products can be so hard to get. But it’s worth the wait.
@Just Browsing No. In the US. The availability is really hit and miss. Never know when a shipment is going to come in. And if you don’t get it when it comes in you’re out of luck until the next shipment.
They've been doing this for centuries. Even the book "Mutiny on the Bounty" written in 1932 references the ship surgeon Bacchus snorting snuff off his arm.

"Once clive has shoveled in his load, he can begin the grind" no truer words have ever been spoken
I was hoping for more.....the machines alone are amazing!
You must keep an eye on it incase of fire. "I'm going for a cup of tea". Lol
Which gives me time.... to have a cup of tea 😂
Should of called it "the British cocaine"
*Should have
*Shudd off
Just what I was thinking when watching =)
It's already known as "the queen's powder" because queen Charlotte was a big fan of it (she got nicknamed "snuffy Charlotte" by the rest of the royal family) but anyway it's not just used in britain, Pope Benedict XII, Louis XII, Napoleon and Caterina de Medici were all known snuffers, all over europe it was very popular among the upper class, you could tell someone's wealth by looking at how they consumed tobacco, poor people smoked it and rich people snorted it
***Should've***
Had a couple of friends who used to snort snuff back in the 70s in middle school here in Texas. It just wasn't sold in Britain
I got some of the apricot snuff.
I like plain flavours but apricot is one of my favourites.
Mustard of Puppets Lol nice name
MUSTARD MUSTARD!!
Gawaith original I bet
If they cleaned those machines they would probably stop working 😂😂
My friend has the same thing but it's white. Were does that leaf come from? 🤔
Bolivia most likely
When I lived in NewYork I snorted snuff, "Gletscher Prise" but I stopped because it was hard to get. Now if you ask for snuff you'll be given chewing tobocco. Most people don't even know what nasal snuff is.
We introduced snuff so that when people want to snort a fat line of the real deal we wont notice or care. Except for the throbbing veins.
Can we all agree that the technology from the 1700s was impressive, I mean 300 years later it's still working like new but a phone you pay $999 for can break in a day
i'#m dreaming this isnt fuckng real
Every time I see UK politics I always expect someone to break character and for everyone to start laughing while they reveal their entire political system is all a prank. I know all politics is stupid, but UK politics feels like a Monty Python sketch
I think it’s the wigs
Today I learned that "master snuffmaker" is an admirable profession.
"Shuffle in the load, He can begin the grind" That's what she said.
i'm 33 and i've never heard of snuff until today

I always wondered what the sniffing was when I went in toilet at the local pub.
the thumbnail oh man disgusting
I have never in my 22 yrs seen anyone snort snuff
Just wait until all those old men figure out all the other things you can snort that's way better than tobacco. Blast off gentleman.
Makes me want to quit smoking now. I cant imagine shoving a tree up my nose.
