NASAL SNUFF/CHEW
| Apart from murder, and Copenhagen snuff, nasal snuff is any powder prepared for sniffing. Of course, the main use of the term is for powdered tobacco. Tobacco snuff is made by selecting tobacco leaf, and also sometimes tobacco stalk, and disintegrating it into a coarse powder. It is next ground in a manual or mechanical mill, and then sieved. Various essential oils may then be added for flavouring, after which it is stored in airtight containers to allow the flavor to permeate uniformly. Way back, individuals used to have their own little snuff mills, grinding their snuff fresh from a tobacco plug (called a "carotte") Copenhagen "snuff" is very coarse milled tobacco, not sniffed but put under the lower lip. This website is not about Copenhagen and other forms of oral snuff. It's about nasal snuff.
