McChrystal's SP. Not a great experience with this one, as it's super fine and dry. The last two bumps of this have hit my throat even with a light breath.

Ok.. I think I figured something out.. The grind on the O&G is the same as the SP, Aztec, and Wee Dram. Feeling the O&G it seems almost damp, whereas the SP is super dry like talc. I think maybe these snuffs might have been sitting around for a while and dried out maybe?

Probably not, starting out on SP or some other fine dry snuff requires a little finesse/technique/je ne sais quoi. Moister stuff is more forgiving.

McC all damn day. Really wanting something else but I'll be damned if the package isn't right: this stuff IS addictive. Probably took about 30 bumps over the course of the day. Too much menthol though, started giving me heartburn from that post nasal drip. Or maybe I'm just not blowing my nose enough or snuffing too hard. Either way, ain't gonna stop me. :twisted:

Discreetly spit when possible to avoid taking in any drip. Half the fun is seeing in which direction it leaves your nose.

Sometimes the drip is pleasant too.. Aztec in particular has a hot cocoa drip which pairs well with coffee :lol:

McChrystal's SP again. I very lightly hydrated it, and now it seems to be behaving. Before I couldn't really smell the scent, probably because it was going straight through and not sticking. Smells nice like a fresh cup of earl grey, and has a nice burn to it.
