F&T Old Paris...mmm...

This (along with the occasional palette-cleansing blast of Hedges L260) has been my snuff of the day, and what a glorious snuff it is-many thanks to @snuffster for recommending F&T, I can see this joining WoS Best Dark as a true staple amongst my British snuffs. I find OP to be unique amongst the snuffs I’ve tried to date-that earthy, smoky, old-leather aroma is to die for…it evoked, to me, sniffing the embers of a burned-down Victorian cobbler’s shop in snowfall-I know that sounds MASSIVELY pretentious but it’s the only way I can put it…it’s wintry yet warm, and just smells ancient-a real aroma of times long gone by. I’m looking forward to sampling more F&T, Santo Domingo is next on my list, along with Bureau, methinks.

love santo domingo and old paris. Both are great bureau is the weak link in my opinion a lot of people love it to me it seems a mess. Old paris ages really well. Seriously don’t consume it too fast. The scent alters subtly but noticable over time. I don’t know how to explain it better. It’s one of my favorites and I plan on a bulk purchase of this one at some point.

I have my F&T in a particular ranking on my shelf. It begins by Santo domingo the less sunny in my little architecture(exept Patchouli so particular whose first,but only in rank) to Morocco the most solar. I remember my first F&T was Old Paris too.

Yes old Paris is a lovely snuff. My tin is over 2 years old And it seems better and more complex everyday. I still haven’t sampled the whole line of FandT snuffs but OP Definitely my favorite so far.

I pour my FandT snuffs into the cap and pinch it that way.

I’m with @gandalf… Morocco is at the top of my list (I have 3 large tins on reserve in my freezer) Princes Special and Bordeaux are tied for second.

I’m glad I’m not alone in my Old Paris infatuation…I like it more and more every day. I want to try Santo Domingo next out of the F&Ts, but, other than that, is there another ‘must try’ F&T I should check out over and above the rest of the range?

High Dry Toast gets a lot of praise, though I like Wilson’s No. 22 better. The rest are all florals, or floral blends, and if you like florals you can’t do better than F&T for sheer lavishness.

FandT’s HDT IS my favorite. Bordeaux is the only floral I have found That I can tolerate. I think I will give princes special a go On my next snuff order tho.

@vathek isn’t it a wonderful world that we live in where we are all different. French carotte is my favorite F&T and I don’t really like HDT.

Along the lines @Xander is talking about, I particularly like Macouba, but it’s not for the florally faint of heart. It’s an occasional indulgence simply because it is so intense.

@Jinder and a delightful journey in the past it will be.

I really love old Paris. Can anyone recommend me a snuff that has the same quality’s ? - fairly easy to snuff - no real burn in the nose - the back drip is not burning but nice and sweet instead. - no clogging the nose. - a good tabacco base. - a nice sweet subtle aroma If you know one that has the same characteristics I would love to know !!

@Marielle32 The only thing that comes immediately to mind with all those characteristics is Toque Spanish Gem, but I’m sure there are others.

@Zanaspus thanks a lot I read the comments and I think you are right ! Thanks !!

@marielle32 tube rose matches all those specifications, even if it is off subject from this thread.
