NEW American Snuff: Dark Horse Snuff

[snusjus]

I was surprised when I visited Lil' Brown today and saw there was a new American snus on the market. Unfortunately, there are only three flavors available, and none are "natural": Clove, Mint, Raspberry. Upon closer inspection of the cardboard retail display, its slogan is "Genuine Kentucky Snuff", which resonates with me, as I live north of KY. Anyway, if anyone has more information, please enlighten me.

^ If they had a "natural" or "original" flavor, I would have thrown in a few cans -- I'll let someone else be the guinea pig.

It looks to me to be a Nasal Snuff based on the weight and description shown...

Hey guys....I'm pretty sure this is a dry nasal snuff, not a snus. I've heard about this company and the only thing I ever heard of them making was dry nasal snuff, and it's even under the dry snuff section at little brown. Sorry, not a new snus...but for sure a new nasal snuff, Im waiting on some to come now ;-)

I have some on the way, I'll share reviews soon.

Still getting info about the company and manufacturing process, give me a day or two.

It's made by A & T Tabacco and I think it is a snuff... I know their website said snus but l think lil brown's website guy may have been hitting the peace pipe this AM...

Just got a email, it's a snuff.
Typo on their site.

got my hopes up, I would love a clove flavored snus. I wish someone would make a "djarum black portion" clove flavored snus, that sounds soo tasty to me I used to smoke cloves alot back in the day, I even used to order them direct from indonesia after the cigarettes were banned by the fda, those djaram clove cigars they made to replace the cigs are garbage.

Most ppl didn't realize but the indonesian version of djarum are MUCH better than the american version, stronger clove flavor with more nicotine!

Feel free to delete/rename the thread. Sorry for getting anyone's hopes up.

Yeah that's snuff I think dark horse makes a cheap ryo tobacco, it's certainly an interesting market to go into.

I was thinking the same thing. I have thought of trying to make this myself by mixing some ground cloves into some loose, but I haven't gotten around to actually trying it.

Hey everyone! I actually just visited Lil Brown Smoke Shop in Yakima while on vacation. Yup..I went way out of my way to visit this shop and I am sooo glad I did! It's awesome, a tobacco junkie's dream! Not a lot of snus & snuff, but everything else you can imagine! Anyway, I did pick up each of the Dark Horse snuffs and I actually like them! The flavors are as described but VERY heavily scented, which I like! The grind however is not the best, not consistent at all. It looks as if someone ground the tobacco by hand in a coffee grinder, it's fine, medium and coarse all at the same time. I actually saw some stem pieces in my last pinch. The clove is my favorite and is extremely clove-y, it is actually more aromatic than the clove I use to cook with! These snuffs are some of the easiest I've encountered to sniff & combined with heavy scents...I think these are a good entrance into the snuff world for Dark Horse.

D,

Thanks for the review. I have yet to see any around but if I run into some I will definitely pick up a can of the clove

I'm going to the IPCPR tobacco show next week, and I'm going to look for this snuff. Not sure they'll be there because this is more a premium cigar show, but hey....we'll have snus there, lol
