interesting snuff only bought as a cheap back up.. not bad i love the mini container..
Let me preface by saying that I LOVE Chocolicious by 6 Photo. But this coffee kick, not a big fan. The grind seems different as well, slightly more course. Smells like used coffee grounds in the tin, but in the nose it's more mocha with a little menthol kick to it. Nic hit is pretty good
I don't know if it's just me, but I liked the 8 gr. Tins better than the 25. The snuff in the latter seemed too strong!
Anyways it's great, try some.
It's a nice, fine snuff sorta like flour in texture and real dark brown in color. A deep chocolate brown and that's what I taste the most of, chocolate. I don't get a coffee flavor. I mean, I'm a born & raised Seattleite and my coffee tastebuds are either super refined or dead from drinking coffee all day.
I tried to like this "Coffee Kick" shit. I like a lot of the Six Photo snuffs, especially "No.666" it's so smooth and welcoming but this snuff is intrusive; it's a whore of a screaming toddler in your nose, demanding all of your attention but lacks any reason to keep your attention. The pain didn't give me much of an endorphin rush and the vitamin N wasn't impressive. The smell was my favorite part, that heavy chocolate aroma but too weak of a coffee flavor that I purchased it for.
Wayyyy back in 1976 when I was only about 15 or 16 years old, for the 1776 Bi-Centennial, there were some street vendors in our small town selling, "Snuff". I didn't know what it was but the guys I was hanging with, did. I remember it blew my brains out, smelled good and cleared my nose. Fast forward 45 years or so.
I've been exclusively using nicotine gum since 2009 because I had cardiac bypass surgery. It's done the job for the most part. But, I still missed the rush of real tobacco.
I ordered a large can of this coffee stuff from Mr Snuff. I'll admit, I didn't know how to use it. I thought you use it like cocaine. I put a small dot on my hand and inhaled it like you would cocaine. It hit the back of my head, my head lit up like a nuclear missile, I was WIDE awake, then I calmed down. I thought, "I must be doing something wrong". The, "aftersmell" was nice. I savored it. So I did some research and realized, the idea wasn't to get it in the back of your sinuses! I tried taking very light, "smells". That helped but some still got into my throat. Could have been because I trim my nose hair. I hate the tickle of nose hair.
So, now that I know how to properly, 'smell' it without blowing the back of my head out, it's still quite potent. And after I take a hit, if I sniff just to get it all in my nose, I'll get some in my throat and cough.
All that being said, I have a 50 lb. drum to go through so I guess I'll learn to deal with it. :D After the back-drip stops, I like the aroma. It's more like Mocha that coffe. Or, I might compare it to the smell of freshly ground coffee, which is different that drinking it. If anybody knows af a better grind/moistness for folks like me, please let me know!
