    6 Photo???

    Anyone ever try these snuffs? I just noticed Mr Snuff added them with a 20 percent off special..

    Don't know about the 6 Photo stuff but the 5 Photo is supposed to be pretty good. Sorry, couldn't resist.

      I was on the verge of correcting him myself, but then I troubled to look at Mr. Snuff's homepage. There is in fact a 6 photo snuff.

      Don't know anything about it, other than that it exists. I would imagine that the extra photo in the name must mean it is better, and surely not just a similar snuff added to inventory in an effort to take advantage of us snuff takers and our Pokemania garnering tendencies.

        I stand corrected. When I clicked on the Mr. Snuff site I went to the Indian section, where doesn't seem to be listed yet, without waiting for the home page to load. Classic confirmation bias rears its head.

          From what I've read off of snuffhouse.org, there are several snuff brands named after the original 5 Photo brand. 6 Photo, 2 Photo, etc. They are produced by different companies. No clue on the quality of the product, but the original Indian snuff is the 5 Photo brand.

              If it's a knock off brand, I wouldn't bother, at least at this point. I find that kind of thing offensive, and while I wouldn't hold an all out boycott, that company gets moved to the very low priority list.

                I absolutely agree. I just figured it was the same brand just another branch I assume too much lol.

                  I just started snuffing a couple days ago and the 5 Photo Himalaya is an absolutely legit snuff. Great scent: light incense with tobacco and light menthol, and it comes with quite a nicotine punch. The only problem is that the 50g I got came in a metal can which had corroded. Not sure if mrsnuff stocks those sorts of cans though, his might be plastic.

                    I agree regarding the 5 Photo Himalaya. It's an excellent snuff with a scent that lasts forever.

                      Being an Indian snuff buff, I ordered them all. From what I see, there are 5 kinds here, Kailash, Super Kailash, Special, Super Chetak, and Anarkali.

                        I got Himalaya in rusty metal cans too, this local shop had them, and they are kinda old, but still decent, but back when Nicotine Rush started carrying the 5 Photos, I upgraded to newer containers and they are all plastic.

                          OK! OK!

                          MrSnuff came through, as he always did for me.

                          I got the 6 Photo Snuffs in the mail today!!!

                          The Anarkali is the square container, and be careful opening it, I almost spilled it, trying to open it. It's a plastic container, but wrapped up in paper, I like to preserve the labels best I can, so I cut along what felt like the edge, and then popped off the lid. I rescued what did come out.
                          This one has a nice scent, reminds me of that Taj, or is it Raja. Slight menthol, not bad.
                          Other than Super Chetak, I am not seeing English names on the cans.
                          The other containers are metal, the Super Chetak had a foil that sealed in the snuff, the other ones have a plastic, I guess I have to cut or pull those out. Ok, next it I am guessing, Super Kailesh, has a gold like color can. I ran a knife around the edge cutting the plastic off. It's not going to be accurate sampling these in a row, but oh well. Mmmm, this one is better than the Anarkali. I'll wait a bit, as this one is really nice, and post more on the others later.

                            I'll start with Dholakia White. This is absurdly fine. I can sniff a scotch or a toast all day without any complaints but this snuff is finer than dust....
