I've been reading alot about making your own snuff, and I'm thinking of trying my hand at it. Have any of you tried this with success? Any tips that you can give me? Recipes? Best kind of tobacco and where I can attain it?
Anything would be appreciated.

Snuffy, if you do a search on this site under topics for recipe you will see a few discussions you can read through. Some good recipes there. Also search under comments.

For tobacco, cigars can make a nice snuff. As well as chewing tobacco of the plug or twist type. You can scent an unscented snuff. There are places you can buy cured tobacco leaves. If you want to get serious, you can buy tobacco seed and start from scratch.

Snuffy, which corner of the world are you from? That will determine where I point you.

Snuffy, If you haven't done already, request a catalog from Fred Stoker & Sons In the catalog, they offer cured tobacco twists & cured tobacco leaves available in both air & fire cured which are good for experimenting with snuff making. Its also loaded with chewing tobaccos, dip, dry snuff, pipe tobacco. Its a great resource catalog.

If you want to start from scratch, pick up some seeds from Seedman. If you scroll down you can go wild with a few extra high nicotine varieties like Mountain Tobacco (Nicotinia var), Indian Tobacco (rustica)- this one is so potent it was also used as an arrow poison in Mexico & the lastly Punche.

You can use lots of things to make your own scent. From things like fragrant flower, citrus flowers, mint leaves, citrus peels, herbs, spices, vanilla, tonquin or coffee bean, even nuts. Also essential oils & liqueurs & other alcohols, teas, pine, fir & cedar needles even your favorite cologne. You can even just mix pre-made snuffs to make your own flavor.

Nice post Troutstroker!
Have you by chance tried any of Seedman's seeds? I'm tempted to try growing some of the high nic-varietals. I wonder how they would be to snuff, let alone smoke?

Hi Trout,
Thanks for the reply. I decided, what the heck, they are really cheap, and it sounds like a lot of fun to grow and snuff my own baccy. I went for two of the "Indian" tobaks, the Mountain and the Indian as well as a Turkish and Black Mammoth. I hope I have enough time this year to at least get a taste's worth before the fall. I like how on the high-nic varietals, they recommend as a pesticide or garden dust! lol Could it really be that potent?
:)

Cool, thanks Trout!
