Snuff History |
|
In the mid 1700’s nasal snuff found it’s way to England where it made a transformation of sorts. The early English refined the way snuff was processed by changing the way the tobacco was ground. Until this time, snuff tobacco was ground into a coarse powder that resembled corn meal. The English manufacturers actually used water powered mills, similar to those that produced flour, to grind the tobacco which gave it a finer feel that was close to the grind of baking flour. They also experimented with adding flavorings like Roses, Cinnamon, spearmint and Camphor to give the tobacco a more appealing scent. |
