Anybody ever made snus, snuff, or chew?

I have a ton of tobacco here, but packaged smokeless tobacco cannot be sold in Austria. I've tried a few recipes with more or less success, but has anybody ever successfully done this?

Why can't chew be sold there? (no recipe...I have no idea how that's made). nt Honeycombe8 Apr 2013 #2

to roll my own cigars or smoke in a pipe and bought a variety of tobacco seeds. I nurtured the seeds into plants like they were rare flowers. Nonetheless, the tobacco leaf was so harsh it was unsmokable despite curing it more than one year's time. Hopefully, yours is better and appropriate for chaw. But then I've never had luck with growing plants. Fortunately for me I completely gave up smoking several years ago and don't miss it.
