nasal snuff vs chewing tobacco
Juan
time ago. One of them is tre ankare (in small pouches), general
portions(pouches), and grov snus (loose).
Is this chewing tobacco or nasal snuff? I tried a couple of pouches
and it was just too much (and I like strong tobacco). Then I opened
one of the pouches and put the tobacco in a small tin box. I'm using
it as nasal snuff.
What do I have here? lol
If it is chewing tobacco, what's the proper way to use it?

exactly chewing tobacco. Nasal snuff goes up the nose.

question there and this is the answer I got.

Snus, is a sweedish type of oral snuff. It is like the American form
of Skoal or
Copennagen. It made without as much chemical, only tobbacco salt.
Snuff, is used in the nasel.

Swedish snus does indeed have additives. They are all food grade, but
then so are the additives in American snuff. The additives you'll find in
snus include flavorings like lemon oil, mint, eucalyptus, etc. Snus also
contains some soda ash, just like American snuff, as well as propylene
glycol. The main difference between Swedish "snus" and American snuff is
Swedish snus is Swedish snus is ground finer and now days comes in small
portion bags mostly, whereas American snuff is about the size of chopped
parsley and is usually loose. Swedish snus is also processed slighly
different than American snuff, a process that usually involves heating the
tobacco in a form of pasteurization. American snuff tends to be higher
nicotine but have less soda ash than Swedish snus (less alkaline), whereas
Swedish snus is more alkaline but lower in nicotine. Swedish snus is often
made with air-cured tobacco, whereas American snuff is a mixture of
air-cured and fire-cured. Swedish snus is very low in nitrosamines and
stays sterile over time, whereas American snuff can be all over the place-
some is very high in this chemical, others are almost as low as snus, but
over time all American snuffs will increase in nitrosamine content unless
frozen or refrigerated. The only exception are American brands made by
Swedish Match such as Timber Wolf or Renegades (and now Exalt)- they are
fairly low in nitrosamines and do not ferment over time.

Thanks! Now, that's info. I have to say "shame on me": the first snuff
factory was located in Seville (Spain) where I lived for 25 years. In
fact that factory is nowadays where I spent 7 years studying
philology. U know the opera "Carmen"?. Well, that Carmen used to work
in that same building. There's a new movie: "Carmen" and it has been
made in that same building.
Now, is there anything wrong in using swedish snus as nasal snuff? Am
I the only one?. I have Gawith apricot and Gletscher Prise as nasal
snuff and I like them, but snus is less flavoured and more tobacco
like. Opinions?

You could use snus as nasal snuff, although it is fairly coarse.
If you want a "purer" nasal snuff, try Freybourg and Treyer's Old Paris or
Santo Domingo, or Samuel Gawith Kendal Brown.

Two other snuffs you might enjoy if you want natural tobacco flavor
are Fribourg and Treyer's High Dry Toast and Wilson's Tom Buck. If you
shop on-line for your snuffs, I can highly recommend doing business
with Mike at marscigars.com. He has good prices, fast delivery, and
great service.
