    If you are only trying out snuff, you could break open an ordinary cigarette and grind (pepper mill or coffee grinder until you have a fine powder) the tobacco from that, although you should remember that this will be full of chemicals. Far better to grow your own tobacco without the chemicals
    Tobacco readily absorbs smells, so scenting your snuff is very easy. Most commercial snuffs are adulterated with ammonia, hellebore and pearl ash, which keeps them moist with a powerful smell. Dry snuffs like Scotch and Welsh are adulterated with quicklime to give the snuff a bite. Please don't ask me for the volumes used as I have no idea and no desire to sniff quicklime.

    I recommend using one drop of musk perfume on a small piece of blotting paper for one kilo of snuff. Do this after grinding your tobacco. Place the tobacco and the blotting paper into a sealed container for a couple of days to allow the tobacco to absorb the smell. Grind up enough tobacco to make a small amount of snuff, then test it. This allows you to add more scent if required.

    Other perfumes commonly used for dry snuff are bergamot, cloves, lavender, otto of roses, orange flowers and jasmin.
