Any snuff users on TSR?

[Blademonkey]

Hello chaps, I've given up smoking cigarettes but have now taken to using snuff, I like mine strong and moist without menthol, so what do you recommend and what do you use?

Paul.

Poschl Red Bull Strong Snuff​

The original Red Bull, I grew up with lads working down the mines, it was also used in the Fabrication shops where I worked. It is Menthol though.
I always have a few dispensers in the "Baccy cupboard".

Do Miners use it cause they couldn't smoke down in the mine ? or some other reason ?

I go to South Carolina with work and a few people there chew tobacco.

I've used it for years, and my favourites are Gawith and Wilson's of ,Sharrow. I prefer the more exotic snuffs, and have three or four boxes in the rotation.
There used to be communal snuff boxes or mulls in some pubs; the best being in the Lamb & Flag in Covent Garden, on top of the divider between the bars.

Don't expect your other half to wash your handkerchiefs, though.

I hope everyone had clean fingers! I suspect there was a snuff spoon in use!

I'm currently using Wilson's of Sharrow " Africa" strong & moist with a hint of chocolate, very nice indeed.

Not everyone's cup of tea or mug of hot chocolate but I like it!

I went through a snuff phase a few years ago, tried quite a few different ones. I ended up just using Viking dark, if you're after a strong, moist snuff, Viking dark is your man. It was my favourite by a mile, although I was quite partial to mcchrystals original.

Nice one, thanks for the recommendation, and there is no menthol in it?

Not in Viking dark, it's just a straight tobacco snuff, no fancy flavours or menthol. Got quite a hit to it as well, very high nicotine. I found it very satisfying.

Thanks I wondered as I lived in what was a mining area in Wales for a bit , and the ex miners in the pub were keen on Snuff as well. Never thought to ask at the time.

Here's an interesting snippet of infomation, snuff is the only tobbaco product sold in the UK that the government does not tax!
