No good Johnus, you just plain can't dent the steely resolve, iron will and unbending rectitude of my Big Bro B ! Not to mention his declared intention of continuing to be able to breath.

What's doin Johnny,

He may not have been typing at Carl so much as some other members. I can't speak for him but will just say I know exactly what he is thinking and can tell you what's on his mind better than he can! Poor old geezer.

Yeah, Carl's experience should take the bloom off snuff, for him at least. Course he was probably pounding it down (or up) like it was some uncut blow. Not genteel like, such as how I think Sir Prize would huff the stuff.

Well done Carl for giving up, hope it's going well. Well done also Nishy, I too gave up the week before Christmas last, I don't miss it at all and am glad to be in control of myself again, it does feel good. :)

I had no idea though that so many people still use and enjoy snuff. I was reading an old book the other night about how snuff was introduced to the UK and the different qualities available. It mentioned one fake snuff called London Snuff that was sold in amongst good snuff and by using ladies of the night to offer it to the sailors in pubs. Hate to think what this stuff did to the nasal system.

There was a snuff called Nosegay, the reason this struck a cord with me was because I have also been doing some research of old colognes and there was one called Nosegay. I also discovered a couple of references from the early Victorian period that flower posies were called Nosegay.

Most people reading this must be thinking what the hell is he going on about. I will cut to the chase. I was talking to a perfume house who Wickham Soaps will be doing business with, I mentioned some of the things I had been reading and the scent called Nosegay. Oddly they had an old formula for a scent called Nosegay and they have made me some up to test with Wickham Super Smooth. I received it today and was wondering if it could be what was used to scent the Nosegay Snuff.

Is there anyone here who would like a 25g Super Smooth sample of this? If so PM me, the only thing I ask is that you cover the postage, I have enough for around 6 samples to be made. So first come first served. :)
 
Fortunately or Unfortunately I'm a person of few vices. The ones I had, I was alway able to abandon with minimal effort. That does not mean that those enjoyments are not remembered fondly.
And unlike Augustine, I don't rail against them once they are abandoned.
It seems that I'm yet to learn moderation.
May be later.
 
Tried the Spear and Bull together. You're right a little Menthol added to experience.
What gave it that extra something special was the Ginger Beer that I was having at the same time. Wow, menthol and spearmint from the top and and Ginger from the bottom... Awesome!
 
Just an FYI on a new limited snuff at MrSnuff:
This snuff will never again be made. Supplies were already limited at only 158 15g jars. Nearly half have been sold in two days. Connoisseur reviews have been ecstatic. For example:

"Prince Regent is one of those memorable experiences that lifts me above the lackluster realm of mediocrity and transports me to a realm of ethereal beauty and wonder. Prince Regent, to me, is more than just a snuff experience. It is a peak experience. If I were to choose a single term for Prince Regent, it would be transcendent.


Yes, mine is in the mail!

Well, I'm shocked! I never thought I'd hear such pretentious bullshit about snuff!

Ah yes, the voice of reason. Heh, usually that ain't you Carl when it comes to shaving crap and until recently, snuff. So if you still 'used', would you be purchasing a jar or three of this amazing sounding, once in a lifetime snuff creation. Sounds like with this snuff you will see God.

Johnus, I would love to hear what that is gonna taste/smell like.
 
B....s...t you say! Would you say the same if it was a fine Stilton being advertised??
Only regret is that I ordered just one. Should have acquired 2 or 3 as an investment.
 
They're selling them one at a time, I just happen to know! And if you buy only one of them you'd get stuck with a low value order surcharge - which you can avoid by adding a tin of Viking Dark to the order, I just happen to know.

No pretension - just knowledge!

Transcendental Stilton, now there's a thought! I wonder if you wandered down the road a ways to Melton Mowbray you'd be able to find a transcendental pork pie? Maybe Tigers will played transcendentally this afternoon and we can all huff this new transcendental snuff.

They'd look at you all gone out at the very suggestion. What utter guff! Transcendent snuff, indeed!
