"Nasal snuff is a finely ground, flavored tobacco, taken in the non-offensive form of a simple sniff into the nostrils. Snuff began as the tobacco choice of royalty and the elite in 17th century Europe, before being provided to the masses. Still popular in Europe today, snuff is now gaining popularity in the Americas.
English nasal snuff is made with a wide variety of flavors, including spearmint, raspberry, apricot, lavender, bergamot, and Seville orange, to name just a few. The most popular use of snuff is to take just a pinch between you thumb and forefinger and sniff it lightly into the nose. This provides a pleasant aroma, lasting 15-20 minutes, as well as a noticeable nicotine lift. Many pipe smokers have also taken to the old English act of adding a sprinkle of their favorite snuff into their burning bowl of pipe tobacco for an added aroma, taste, and nicotine boost."
I don't know if I recommend it, but the guys at the bar couldn't get enough.
Here's some pictures of me trying Spearmint snuff for the first time.
Snuff sprinkle!

Great post on Snuff Tobacco Laura.
Nasal snuff is enjoying a revival World-Wide, due to smoking bans coming into force in various western countries.
I think it's seen as a more friendly way to take tobacco whilst in company these days.
There's a whole host of flavours and varieties to choose from and ranges to suit everyone's taste.
McChrystals Original and Genuine is a good starter snuff - it's been mentioned on various snuff tobacco forums as the snuff they would introduce a 'newbie' to.
If you're a smoker looking for an alternative way to get a nicotine hit, then try S'nuff, which is a blend specially aimed at smokers.
Once again, nice snuff post and I'm glad you at least gave it a go.
