I know it's called Snuffy Harwood, but Has anyone out there got any evidence,that it was made there.
I hear It,s making a come back,
Beleive it or not I use to deliver it, on my paper round, many moons ago.

I think it's called Snuffy 'arrod because there's supposed to be a snuff box atop the Town Gate clock. I didn't know they ever made the stuff in Harwood.

I never knew snuff could be delivered - but when you think that newsagents sell it I suppose it makes sense.

I remember when I was 15 going on an exchange visit to Germany and the Dad of the family asked if I could bring a particular brand of snuff with me that wasn't available over there. I got it at Woods tobacconists in town and ended up exporting it to Germany for years.

It has nothing at all to do with tobacco snuff, it is snuffy meant in a snobby or wealthy context, there is an old saying about Gt Harwood people, "they own their own house and the one next door".

So what exactly was snuff used for ? i remember my grandad having some.

[WillowTheWhisp]

sniffing. There was some idea that it cleared the sinuses I think.
