Re: [ Snuff Box The Nasal Snuff Club] scotch snuff

Sorry... I meant fine (fin). The grades are fin, demigros and gros.

  Scotch = fine (fine).

  Rappee = coarse (gros).

  In between comes demigros.

The optimum size snuff box and the average snuffer.

Hi fellow snuffers, 

I'm new to the group, (having been recommended to join by Professor
Griffiths) though not new to the delights of snuff, it having been my solace
and sole source of nicotine for the past 17 years.

By way of introduction, I'm an Aussie who has been living and working in
Dallas TX for 5 ½ years, with 2 more years on my contract before returning
'Down-under'.

Snuff is hard to find in OZ and before coming to the States I had to
purchase my supplies of Wilson's in bulk from a local tobacco merchant, so
those of you here in the good old USA can imagine my delight in finding it
so readily available and so cheap. I have used nothing but Garrett's Scotch
since being here as I like mine dry and unscented, though I am toying with
the idea of trying F&T's High Dry Toast.

On his website, Griff points out the dangers of using a snuff box too small
or too large and this got me thinking whether there was such a thing as an
optimum size box for an average snuffer, (if there is such an animal). 

There are standard sizes for other "substances"........wine comes in 750 ml
bottles, cigarettes in packs of 20, but snuff? My Garrett's comes in 1.15 oz
cans, but I couldn't carry one of those in my pocket as the bulge would
attract attention, not to mention being uncomfortable.....no I fill one of
my three snuff boxes after breakfast every morning and carry that, and I
consume one box in 24 hours, no more no less.  

Ah yes you say, but how big is the box?

Re: [ Snuff Box The Nasal Snuff Club] Re: G. Smith's and Son

Graeme,

I first met Mr. Rose in 1964 and continued to correspond with him - and
visit him whenever I was in London - until his retirement. He was obliged to
take it easy after his heart attack. He was really a wonderful person and,
as you say, very knowledgeable. He had the further distinction of being
probably the only Jewish snuff merchant in the British Isles. I used to
bring him samples of Schmalzler and some of the Bernard and Lotzbeck
non-Schmalzler snuffs from Munich, as well as various Italian snuffs: he was
not impressed with any of them! He very kindly used to supply me with
Gallaher's Irish High Toast in one pound tins, although he did not stock it
for sale in his shop, since he sold his own HDT. I used to buy "Best Brazil"
snuff from him occasionally, and he once told me that he obtained it in bulk
from Samuel Gawith (or was it Gawith Hoggarth?). I don't know whether the
same firm made some of his other snuffs. After the demise of Fribourg &
Treyer, I believe that he purchased the recipes for several of their snuffs.
In any case, they were available from his shop immediately after F&T closed.

On another subject, does anyone remember Grant's High Toast snuff? It was
made in Ireland for many years and was for sale in almost every tobacco shop
from Dublin to Galway, as I found on several trips to Ireland in the late
1970s and early 1980s. Then there was some dispute about inheritance of the
firm and production ceased while the lawyers bled the litigants. I was in
contact for quite some time with the last owner (one of the claimants), who
sent me some really marvelous Irish whiskey snuff that he had planned to
produce commercially once the problems were resolved. The final letter I
received from him said that he was going to move the manufacturing operation
across the border from Donegal, where the firm was established, to Derry,
because costs were lower there. Either he lost the case or - more likely -
after the lawyers were done, there was no more money to renew production.

   Yes, Honeybee is pretty awesome! It is the only snuff which, for 
me holds sentimental value, since out of curiosity, I bought a tin as 
a kid. My first pinch of it took my right back to 1978. 

   Do you recall that I suggested to you that you order from Mars, 
care of a friend in Washington State? To accomplish this I would mail 
my order from Washington, not B.C., and pay for it using a postal 
money order. When it arrives (usually 3 days after the order is 
shipped, and not a second later, Mike rules), simply go and pick it 
up. Just see to it that you take it out of its shipping box before re-
crossing the border. Don't want them to know what you are up to.  
This would give you access to not only Honeybee and a good variety of 
other Amercian snuffs, but also to a very good selection of English 
and Poschl products as well. 

   BTW, I take it you were not favorably impressed by Garretts 
Scotch? Lately I have been dipping into that with more frequency then 
the Honeybee. Lately I have been pairing it with Wilson's Gold Label, 
a snuff I find very pleasent, but which offers me little satisfaction 
from a potency standpoint. Together then are wonderful!

Re: [ Snuff Box The Nasal Snuff Club] My Sexy Photos!


Howdy Dave,

   Radio drama???? Mental image??? I asked you a single sentence 
question. I'm curious if you were referrring to a post other then 
this one, and if so what.

   Speaking of radio dramas, the pencil line moustache conjures up 
thoughts of the Thirties. The shifty nightclub owner, or the snide 
hotel clerk. As with all facial hair, I get a bit jealous, as I can 
grow a lush, well filled out nothing, but have enough facial hair to 
make me look sloppy and scuzzy if I don't shave regularly. Just as 
well I took up straight razor shaving and made irraticating it an 
pleasent pastime.

   Of all my inadequate facial hair growth, it is most unsuitable on 
my upper lip. I notice however that the lower placed hair folicules 
seem more productive. I will have to let my upper lip alone at 
shaving time a week or so and see if I can come up with a decent 
pencil line.

   Hopefully you can send Graeme a photo of you and your pencil line 
taking a nice big boxcar full. I'm sure you would be re-featured on 
the homepage after a few other members.

   Out of curiosity, how can handlebar moustaches lead to frostbite? 
Not that I'll ever have that worry myself;I always take comfort at 
the take of Castro's brother, who also had uncooperative facial hair. 
Embarassing for him, as he was the #2 man of the "Barbudos" (bearded 
ones).

Re: A question for all pipe smokers


Try the other forum, another Yahoo group dedicated to those who love 
snuff and also smoke. It is called "snuffers", a club just as 
exclusive as this one, but open to the wider interest groups who also 
love Tobacco, God's gift to Mankind (and womankind).

Nicky Tn :<)

Just erase the "snuffboxthenasalsnuffclub" in the groups address and 
insert "snuffers"
