what is the worst snuff you have tried?

@Pieter, I like taxi menthol! I shall have a pinch now, me thinks.

McChrystals Clove, Dholakia Wine and Cheese, Toque Pomegranate, all the mentholated Poschl snuffs (except Packards Club and President) and Samuel Gawith Jockey Club. The Dholakia Wine and Cheese is the worst of the lot for me though.

Jockey club is soapy and over-sweet. I second magnet menthol as worst snuff however; a touch too hard and its like being slapped with a minty brick.

@f.j.craig: I don’t particularly enjoy Samuel Gawith’s or Wilsons’ Jockey Club either, but they’re both magnificent snuffs compared to that Gawith Hoggarth abomination.

I’ve had Jockitch Club. A bit too perfumey. Reminds me of… well I dunno because I’ve never been to hell.

In no particular order: Magnet Peach, Rockit Cherry Pop, Gawith Apricot, QWS Sandalwood, QWS Jasmine, FUBAR RnR, Dean Swift Jasmine, Dean Swift Camelopard, Toque Cheese & Bacon, Ozona Raspberry, Ozona Cherry. I think French Carotte, Jockey Club and Royal George are pretty nice when used in moderation. I love Toque Pomegranate, and McChrystal’s Clove. Don’t know what’s the matter with you guys…

I wouldn’t say it’s the worst snuff. That belongs to Gletscher Prise. Toque Pom and McC Clove are wonderrrrrful snuffs.

Hmmm, there’s something about “to each his own” that I try to keep in mind. I’m with CS: I couldn’t get the Gletscher out of my nose fast enough! And yet it’s a very popular snuff. It’s funny that this thread has popped up. I’ve been thinking of asking if there’s a truly bad snuff out there; not just one that one particular snuffer doesn’t like, but one that’s bad. Poor tobacco, artificial scents, you get the idea. I haven’t bumped into one yet myself, just curious.

Gletscher Prise gets my vote for worst. The only German snuff I have ever bought.

Wilsons Jockey Club is the best example of the style, and I periodically enjoy the Gawith Hoggarth offering in moderation. There is something about the Samuel Gawith one though that reminds me of cheap, nasty granny perfume. The Wilsons and GH versions seem more ‘masculine’ to my nose. I wouldn’t say any of the three were daily snuffs for me!

My worst is Zuka Black! Terrible, good job it was a fee-bee thrown in with an order.

Now that I recall, Buttercup was really bad for a simple, unadorned snuff. The butter tasted like the ersatz butter flavoring you get with microwave popcorn. I emptied the smashbox out to use it for other purposes.

GH Strawberry, definitely. Smells like Shake ‘N’ Vac. Awful, awful stuff.

3 worsts so far: Toque Berwick Brown – apparently this was supposed to smell lik horse saddles or their soap (or according to what everyone else has said, at least something good and entirely different than what I got in both bullet adn then 10g tin), smelled like old lady’s perfume to me. I tried to hide this in other snuffs and was so bad I ended up throwing out ao massive amount (probably well over over 50g) of subsequently just really screwed up snuff that I ended up having to throw out Anything ‘sandalwood’ or ‘jasmine’ (QWS being the worst but unfortunately Toque also got in there too) – I still have some of these in bullets (and QWS are big bullets) and not sure I’m going to be able to hide them enough in other snuffs, they may end up just hitting the trash ANything Rose, lavender, violet, or apricot – same as above having bullets and they may just end up trashed if my hiding them in other snuff tricks don’t work
