snuffy
Smelling of snuff
Snuffy describes something resembling or soiled with snuff—the powdered tobacco once commonly inhaled.
By extension, snuffy can mean dingy, musty, or dull: a snuffy old parlor.
The word also describes someone irritable or huffy, perhaps from the sniffing associated with snuff use or with disdain: He got snuffy when I questioned his methods.
