Snuff ‘The Manliest’ Form Of Tobacco
Wednesday, November 7th, 2007According to Arthur’s Hall Of Manliness, those using nasal snuff are taking their tobacco in the ‘manliest’ form available!
So what’s the order of tobacco ’manliness’ I hear you say?
1 - Nasal Snuff
2 - Chewing Tobacco
3 - Pipes
4 - Snus
5 - Cigars
6 - Cigarettes
Arthur then goes on to explain about nasal snuff and how to use snuff for those people who are uninitiated;
Nasal snuff is dried, powered tobacco that is inhaled into the nose. Typically, a pinch is placed between the thumb and index figure, and then snorted into one nostril. The nicotine is absorbed into the blood stream through the membranes of the nasal cavity. Nasal snuff was very popular in the 19 th century, but has fallen out of favor in the present day. Today, the major users of snuff tend to be crusty old fisherman, and other such salty dogs.
We don’t know how many ‘crusty old fishermen’ or ’salty dogs’ use Snuff Store, but the comment about snuff falling out of favour isn’t entirely correct. Snuff is enjoying a renaissance in the UK and Worldwide.
First time snuff users tend to have a very negative reaction, which includes violent sneezing, a burning sensation in the nose and throat, and an extreme runny nose. If you can tolerate these symptoms, and actually enjoy this stuff, then you may consider yourself the manliest of manly men. Nasal snuff is difficult to find, but can be found on the internet (along with everything else on God’s green earth).
The description of first time users experiences may be correct for those who try ‘harsh’ or more ‘expert’ snuffs as their first time snuff. We would suggest trying a more gentle snuff like McChrystals Original and Genuine, or Packards Club when first experimenting.
Nasal snuff difficult to find? No, surely not? Arthur just hasn’t discovered Snuff Store yet!
So there you have it, according to Arthur, Snuff is the manliest form of tobacco.
