I was a smoker from age 19 to age 36, which I switched to vapor. Then the nanny-minded bureaucrats of our government all but destroyed the vapor industry as a favor to pharmaceutical corporations, so I switched again -- this time to snuff. I've been using snuff as my primary source of nicotine since 2020, and it really is wonderful. Great video, and I hope to see more.
They would, if they dared. They don't dare, at least in the U.S., because they know that it would lead to the same thing alcohol prohibition led to.@@Ottophil

Hello. I make my own snuff tobacco (pure, cured tobacco, not completely dry). I used to smoke cigarettes and even vape. Snuff tobacco does not make me tired, but it energizes me. Smoking used to make me very tired and I did not even like it, but I was addicted. Snuff tobacco is wonderful and it is almost like a hobby. Thanks for making this video! Wish you a very nice spring and summer that is ahead of us!
I'm a 55 year old sheffield man, when you mentioned wilson's snuff from sharrow (an area in sheffield) it opened my eyes and ears! I'm a sheffield united fan aswell and our anthem includes the words "like a good pinch of snuff" in it. The miners and steelworkers of the area used it to help with breathing at work in bad conditions, the miners especially couldn't smoke because of the gas underground. Sheffield united's favourite song (our anthem) is called the greasy chip butty song, you can find it on the internet and youtube videos. I never knew snuff was taken in so many countries until just recently, thanks for helping me understand more about something that is ingrained in my local culture! 🖒
Great words. I have been taking Snuff since 1997 when I stopped smoking. Never stopped. J.H.Wilson Snuff is one I always purchase in bulk. Sad to know the Italian and Spanish snuff factories have closed. On health my uncle was a snuff taker and died few years back at 104. I inherited a few very old snuff jars with snuff still in them. It was devine. Mellowing since possibly the 1930s 40s.
Thanks so much for your comment. At present and due the custom’s problems with UK products, due the unjustly and agressive policy against UK products, I am being bold and making my own snuff ( classic SPs recipe) Best wishes from SW Spain.
@@pemacal57 Yes agree. I was a Dr. In uk but now work in Prague. I sometimes get an order from Mr.Snuff not stopped. However due to the insane cuatoms in EU stopping it more often i now travel back to the U.K. once a year to load up with Snuff. Never have a problem with customs although I did have my bag checked by sniffer dogs... ...I did have about 500g plus😂...however it saves me from taking German Menthols which to me personally are an abomination. ❤😂😂
Regarding german snuff you should get after some "Schmalzler" which is not mentholated. Sadly the oldest snuffmaker (Bernard) closed down because of TPD3 regulation just recently (in may 2024). There were some small snuffmaker in our Pfalz-Region which also closed down production. So there is only Pöschl-production still working but they do some traditional Schmalzlers too (Perlesreuther and some other stuff.)
Great to see a fellow snuff Enthusiast. The community will be pleased to have you. I myself have only be using snuff for 2-3 years now. Unfortunately after May all the German Snuff companlys are shutting down. So this has been my tipple while they are still available. But I to am an SP lover ❤ you got my sub
A Very interesting talk sir. I’m 72 and just starting to take snuff. I’m not sure why, I’m a non smoker. What sensation should I expect from the tobacco? Your experience is invaluable to a novice like myself. Many thanks.
Thank you so much for your comment. To take snuff is a very different pleasure than smoke. With the snuff we will have smell and taste at the same time, as we know palate and nose are connected. I highly recommend you to start slowly, training your nose to the snuff, smelling softly. Best wishes dear fellow snuff taker.
I snuffed for a couple years and it was overall an awesome experience. I had a lot of sir walter scotts snuffs but half of them would make me cough and get into my lungs. Got tired of making my face messy and making messes on the floor. Been using nicotine pouches for a year now and I find them to be extremely discrete, convenient and practical in comparison. But now I am planning on trying to quit those too and be nic free.
I have tried many but from my experience I can say that Friborg & Treyer are always the most classic and elegant tobaccos, still 3 packs forgotten in a drawer for 10 years. Then I really like Bernard's elaborate ones but it's a much softer and "pleasant" style, almost pimp, which aimed a lot on sweetness.
I appreciate so much your comment. Yes, you are right, F&T are one of best traditional snuff makers, but my preference is for Wilson’s of Sharrow SP ‘s…Bernard’s I do not tried yet, ( I do not like so much German snuffs), but probably I will try following your experience. Thanks very much!
Hi, thank you for your video. I'm also a big fun of nasal tobacco, yet i'm having a problem with clogged nose, so i can't really use that kind of stuff. I think i was trying to do everything and i was also trying almost all kind of nasal snuff also without menthol, yet always ending with clogged nose and had to use xylometazolinum to fix my clogg :(
Hi there 👋 I too am a fellow snuff user. Thanks for the interesting video my favourite Wilson’s of Sharrow are probably Kendal brown and Dynamite. Have you tried the Irish 22 it’s wonderful and similar to high dry toast. Thanks again for vid.
I've been meaning to give this a try and get off my regular dip. But im concerned with sinus issues. Since i have allergies and get seasonal sinus colds, im a bit iffy with this entering my nasal cavities. Then, entering my stomach to settle. I will probably do more research first. In my small town years ago and a handful of men and women today would actually dip snuff with a spoon. The popular brand is bruton snuff.
Thank you, sir, for your demonstration and information. I do appreciate the fact that with your snuff, you are very clean with it. And you carry a hanky to make sure of it. Best wishes to you.
@@NERD-FROM-THE-SOUTH Bruton Scotch Snuff was one of my first and always favourite ones. But if you have stomach troubles you need be careful with nasal and dip…nasal goes through nostrils to mouth and esophagus , then stomach. Thanks for your comment.
@pemacal57 Yes, sir, I have acid reflux issues. So even my regular wintergreen and natural tobacco I use sometimes affect me. Yes, I live in the east Tennessee region. Oh really, bruton must be very well known then. I had no idea!
Agreed 100%. Snuff is the best! I've done all forms. Pipes, cigars, cigarettes, dip and chew, and snuff is the most convenient and with so many varieties.
Your video sir was the first one I ever watched on the subject of snuff and it was the impetus that got the ball rolling which sparked my interest in the hobby. For the first few days I haven’t had any particular side effects and an overall pleasant experience however today I find myself rather congested and I’m not sure if it’s the snuff or some other cause. Did you find that in the course of your many years you developed a sort of dryness in breathing or a shortness of breath?
Hello dear friend , never before I have felt any symptoms you refer before….for more information…I play the bagpipes , as a humble amateur, but I play every day for more than an hour
I really appreciate your reply sir! I was getting a bit worried but it must’ve been just my seasonal allergies. I feel perfectly fine today. Enjoying some Gawith Apricot. Best wishes sir. Do you have a video playing the pipes? I’m sure many of us would be very glad to see and hear it!

Just took a snuff of Ozona President. I hate to admit that I love nicotine and tobacco. The psychoactive buzz. The taste. The smell. I'm probably screwed because I also enjoy smoking pipe tobacco and cigars and I occasionally enjoy hookah and a cigarette every now and then. But I genuinely feel like nicotine and tobacco are what keep me from going apeshit nuts. I've got a lot of health problems, both mental and physical-I hate to admit-and nicotine vaping and the taste of a good cigar or the scent of a beautiful dry snuff feels like what keeps me (relatively) sane.
All the best snuffs are made in uk, I’ve been using it to quit cigarettes, I know some societies at university occasionally use it, but I don’t know any young people who take it (besides those I introduced to the habit). A very cheap and pleasurable habit
I couldn't use nasal snuff, I get nosebleeds easily so I prefer the oral snus from Sweden. Snus is not fermented it's steam pasteurized and provides the right amount of nicotine for me. I smoked cigarettes for about 18 years and quit in 2018, been using snus ever since.
Great video, Sir! Would appreciate your advice on which is the best sniff for a daily use? Not too overwhelming with taste but good in amount of nicotine. Thanks!
I will tell you the names…but I have bad news…they are no longer made( I look for them during a lot of time) SANTO ANTONINO LECCESE SUN DI SPAGNA I think they disappeared when Pöschl bought all Italian snuffs. Best wishes dear fellow snuffer
do you find that where the snuff lands in your nose makes a difference in smell and nicotine perception. i seem to lose the scent if i dont get it in a very sepecific and small area right at the front of the nose. if it goes up farher it feels like it makes my nose go"numb" if that makes sense meaning i cant really get a scent from it. the only thing i can think of is im not getting it to where it should be and not close enough to where the scent receptors are at the top of the nose
I agree with you, and in my experience, when snuff is moist I smell bit harder but if dry I smell softly. Snuff must remain in the first area of your nose. Thanks so much for your words.
Dear Sir, thank you for your reply. With your advise I have purchased a selection of flavoured snuff from Wilson’s &Co. (Sharrow) Ltd. The delicate sensations are very interesting. Tell me Sir when taking snuff what is considered a normal length of time between each dose taken?

Its not nanny minded. If they cared about heath they would ban all tobacco. Its about money. Always has been. Cheers!
