Snuff, Snus and Chew: a recipe book
edited by Robert C.A. Goff

Front cover

The FTT "Smokeless" forum is challenging to navigate. In August of 2022, I took on the task of collecting its Smokeless recipes for a dedicated book, not expecting the project to require more than a couple of months. (After all, the recipes had already been created by our forum members.) Instead, bringing together Snuff, Snus and Chew stretched to the winter holidays, and on into following year. Forum contributions to the content are from 2011 to January of 2023. My first draft was finally done in mid April, along with my cover art. I completed the final edits over the following week, then uploaded the book for print-on-demand.

Back cover

This book's contents span over 11 years of member experimentation and enthusiasm. The included recipes were extracted from over 260 separate discussion threads, comprised of over 3500 posts.

You will find recipes for nasal snuff, oral snus and loose chew, as well as general guidelines for selecting tobacco varieties and preparation methods. Where other forum members have added useful comments regarding a recipe, those are included as well. Some recipes utilize purchased, whole leaf tobacco, while others select from home-grown varieties.

As with my two pipe blending books, I am publishing this under an Open Copyright, the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike: it is free to use, copy, and even re-publish, so long as full credit is given. A FREE pdf version of the book is linked below.

• ISBN: 979-8-9867728-2-0
• Library of Congress Control Number: 2023907594
• 6"x 9" b&w ppb
• 115 pages

Each of the recipes, along with any associated, meaningful comments, is presented with the author's FTT forum user name. At the end of the book, you will find ingredient lists from a number of research and commercial smokeless products.

Thank you Bob! I put my order in. This is exactly what I needed! I'm about to embark on turning my latest order into smokeless, I've got all the leaves stripped, just need to bring into case for a quick brush off for dirt then its shredding/milling and cooking time!

 

[jclif43]

Bob, that is awesome!

 

[ChrisN]

Awesome! Thank you very much for everything, Bob!

 

[Red Lime]

Your dedication and knowledge of tobacco and its products are amazing, especially the way you tirelessly pass on your knowledge. Dear Bob, Thank you for that!

 

[Krausen89]

@deluxestogie bob this is awesome i am just now looking it over. is Jrayseb89 supposed to be me?

 

[deluxestogie]

Looks like it should have been. If, in touch typing, my right hand is shifted leftward by one key, and I type "Krausen", I end up with "Jrayseb". [That took a bit of detective work.]

Good catch. I'll have to update (correct) it in a new upload of the book to the on-demand printer. I'll edit the above listing of the TOC now. [...and the free pdf download]

If you will PM your full mailing address, I will send you a new copy, which should be available in about 3-4 weeks.

EDIT: The updated version has been uploaded to the print-on-demand printer [lulu.com], and should appear in its corrected version on Amazon, etc. within a few weeks.

No worries, Thanks!

Thank for compiling all that info Bob, I agree the smokeless forum is a bit scattered and hard to find things in at times. Will be ordering soon.

 

[RattlerViper]

I hadn't noticed this post before yesterday. Most of the time I'm a lurker and not a poster of I don't have something constructive to say. Looked at the PDF last night and ordered my copy today. Great job Bob!

I just learned something new! I had no idea the key forums thread existed. I have approached the forum like those that existed in the pre Facebook times and used the search bar! I even managed to find it and will have to spend some time going through it.

 

[Yidag585]

Thank you for doing this! For a beginner like me this is a treasure trove of information!

 

[deluxestogie]

You are welcome...and welcome to the forum. Feel free to introduce yourself in the Introduce Yourself forum.

The content of the book is entirely taken from our Smokeless forum. My hope was to extract all the meaningful, quantitative recipes from that forum. The book misses Smokeless posts from after early 2023, so do check those newer posts.

That sure was a lot of work I'm sure, compiling and editing all of the entries into such a polished finished book. That would have to be a ton of work, I have no idea where you found a translator that translates inglesch into English. You definitely are very passionate about everything Tobacco, very very excellent work, BOB thankyou!

@deluxestogie Do you use smokeless tobacco?

I have it downloaded, I will take a look, I have checked out some dry snuff stuff. I wonder at times how popular nasal snuff is, I never met anyone in person that uses nasal snuff.

I'm back, that's what I thought, it's a pretty selfless task for someone that doesn't partake.
