Most things can be bought online these days and many people enjoy the convenience of having their products delivered directly to their door.

Snuff is something which most people will have heard of before, but many just aren’t sure just what it is. That’s because the bulk of the imagery which surrounds snuff comes from a time long ago when snuff first made an appearance in the royal courts of Europe back in the 16th century. 

Snuff originated in South America and was discovered being taken by the indigenous tribes of Brazil by a Franciscan monk during Christopher Columbus’ second voyage to the New World in 1493. As a result, it made its way back to Europe where its popularity soared among the aristocracy for the following centuries to come. 

To this day, popular programmes such as Netflix’s Bridgerton portray snuff taking by kings and queens of the royal courts a long time ago, but what actually is it and where does it fit in our modern day?

Have you heard of snuff tobacco yet? If you are an adult who enjoys the effects of tobacco, but dislikes the thought of smoking it, then you’ll doubtless find that snuff tobacco is a much more pleasurable alternative. 

With smoking cigarettes becoming more outlawed, as time moves on, the younger adult generations have been looking for different, more socially acceptable, ways to use tobacco. 

In its day tobacco snuff was the preferred way. After it was discovered in 1494, during a Columbus voyage of discovery in South America, this form of finely ground tobacco, which was originally spotted being used by the American Indians, became high in fashion. In fact, for many years, it was all the rage throughout the royal courts of Europe during the 16th, 17th and 18th century, with many famous names and members of the aristocracy

There are many reasons why smoking tobacco has declined in popularity so much over the last few decades and one of these is the rising price. So, if you’re looking for an alternative to smoking cigarettes, you might be asking yourself how much does snuff cost?

We all know that the price of cigarettes is much, much more than it was pre-millennium and the reasons for this are mainly due to the UK Government’s concerns over the devastating effects that cigarette smoking can have on our health - in turn, this has led to the increase in price. 

Many people have found themselves no longer able to afford to smoke cigarettes, which has led to them looking for an alternative. Snuff is comparably a lot cheaper than other tobacco products. Unlike smoking tobacco it is duty free and therefore comes without the cost of taxation that makes

Did you know that sniffing tobacco is making a mighty comeback among nicotine users of the modern day? 

Sniffing tobacco is a type of smokeless tobacco that takes the form of finely ground tobacco which can be inhaled gently through the nose as an nicotine alternative to smoking or chewing it. 

Back in the 16th/17th century, everyone who was anyone was sniffing tobacco from ornate snuff boxes as a sign of aristocracy, high social standing and in keeping with the fashion of the time. Kings and queens raved about it and its popularity was legendary among the well-to-do. 

As time moved

If you’re looking for a more socially acceptable alternative to smoking tobacco then it’s time to take it all with a pinch of snuff! 

As smoking becomes more and more outlawed in society, younger adults especially are looking for different ways to enjoy tobacco without the unpleasant aroma of cigarettes.

With vaping one alternative, taking a pinch of snuff is an even more discreet and smoke free way of using tobacco when you’re out and about with friends - and you don’t have to leave the building to take it, which makes it a win-win situation all round. 

What is snuff?

Newly blended by the alchemist and our latest favourite flavour, it’s a refreshingly smooth blend of menthol with a hint of mild apricot. The difference between this and our other apricot flavoured tobacco, Sunset, is the addition of menthol essence which provides that refreshing blast of cool flavour, enjoyed in many different ways by people all over the world.

To make the most of your tobacco snuff experience, you just need to tap the tin to loosen the tobacco, then, once opened, breathe in the delicious menthol and apricot flavour, enjoying the pleasant sensation.
