Aldo snuffs some tobacco.
Snuff is a smokeless tobacco product made from ground or pulverized dried and cured tobacco leaves, which is consumed by inhaling it into the nose.
Overview[]
Snuff is made by curing and drying tobacco leaves, then grind them into a powder. Snuff is inhaled or "snuffed" into the nasal cavity (into each nostril), delivering a swift 'hit' of nicotine and a lasting flavored scent (especially if flavoring has been blended with the tobacco).
History[]
Lt. Aldo Raine is seen snuffing grounded tobacco from a a German box throughout the film, which he most likely looted from the Nazi soldiers the Basterds killed in France. He's the only character that does that in the film.
Trivia[]
