Snuff was snort 'n' sneeze though sneezing is not mannerly, I would assume
he did partake as it was a social thing ...

 

Box destroyed during an air raid on 10 May 1941.

Subject: [ChurchillChat] Churchill Dipping?

 

Mr. Robert Lewis Taylor states in his book Winston Churchill:  An Informal
Study of Greatness, Doubleday & Company, Inc. 1952 that Churchill, and many
other members of parliament, was a life-long consumer of snuff and Churchill
donated a jeweled snuff-box when the House's snuff-box was destroyed in WW
II.

 

Questions:

 

Is this true?  I've never seen any evidence of Churchill taking a dip or
with a distended lip evidence of a dip.

 

Was the snuff like Copenhagen, a smokeless tobacco, or was it the kind
people snort than sneeze?

 

Thank you,

 

jim
