Does snuff go bad?

[shortylickens]

I got a one year old can. I haven't touched it in a year either. Was unable to catch my buzz. Since I only use it once a year, I doubt I'm tolerant.

Grizzly long cut, if anyone cares.

It dries out, and nitrosamines increase at room temperature with the American brands. I wouldn't use it unless it was frozen.

Snuff is just one of those things I've never tried tobacco related, some varieties seems to be aged.

Unless you mean something like Skoal, that's snuff I guess also.

Have dipped some in the past.

Shorty's talking about moist snuff. Calling it generically snuff always bothered me cause it confuses it with dry nasal snuff, which further confusing the issue, is traditionally used orally by southern women.

American brands of moist snuff(dip) are derived from Scandinavian snus(snuff). Some brands from the midwest were called snus back in the day, and the name Copenhagen is of course from Denmark. Speculating, I think the brand Skoal may have come from the Scandinavian skål(cheers!). Move the ° in front of the "a", and you get skoal.

American brands still use the old form of fermentation for curing tobacco. This causes higher levels of TSNAs, which increase at room temperature over time. The Swedes began pasteurizing the tobacco years ago to speed up production, but it has the added benefit of reducing TSNAs, and the TSNA levels stay relatively stable over time, and varying temperatures.

Snuff is actually the one variety of tobacco I haven't tried.

What does your snot look like the next day?

Brown. Doesn't even take til the next day. After using it a couple times, you usually have to blow your nose, and it comes out brown. You'd want to be discrete when using it.

When I read the title of this thread I thought you were making fun of the unfortunate victims of snuff movies.

On the can it says Snuff. I normally refer to it as dip.
