Sir Walter Scott snuff.

My latest Creme de Figue was kind of sour smelling in the begining and then it went totally amonia after a month or two. I discovered that I had to take some and leave it to air overnight and miraculously the amonia dissapeared leaving a really nice figue flavour. I mentioned it to Johnny and he said it was strange no-one else had said anything but it sounds like you have something similar. My previous jar had no sourness or amonia at all but this latest jar when properly aired is really great.

I use creme de figue daily, for me to use the same thing day in day out without fail means it’s good!

Havana toast and lundy foot are really differents in scent. Each sws snuff is a different experience. Auld alliance makes me have nice dreams. Latakia blend is a kind of experience too kind of sedative thing. Havana is a real cigar taste i would eat it lol but it tends to give me headaches very quick if i take too much i don t know why.

I have aged border rape too very sedative and too strong for me.

I have tried a few of them. SJP and GH were both too subtle for me. However GH blends well with the Lat Blend. Two others needed a few hours to ‘wake up’. FRP fresh was akin to a muted sweet paprika and LF fresh was akin to a natural toast. After some time both became highly flavoursome!

@tinhuey the Tears are great, planning to order Navigator and the other new one this weekend

Thanks @ar47 I will be placing a MrSnuff order soon.

@tinhuey or anyone interested here’s a little infoand an article on Mastic gum, what Tears of Chios is scented/flavored with. I’ve successfully used it for stomach ailments many times. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastic\_(plant\_resin) https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/26/opinion/mastic-greek-medicine-chios.html

I previously ordered the Aged Border Rapee which was not for me, perhaps I would of grown to like it but unfortunately the canister was literally washed out to sea. Anyway, many of the other blends sound really intriguing. Are most not as coarse as the Rapee? Does the Tears of Chios retain some stickiness from the resin? I have tried booza, the very old Syrian ice cream recipe of which Chios is a key component.

I’d just like to share that I believe Sir @Johnny 's creations are the zenith of the art of the artisan snuffs made today. My favorite are: Saint James Parish blend, Golden Horn, Anson Imperial and Havana Toast. But I’ve had them all and never had one that I didn’t adore. For example I typically avoid smokey snuffs because I feel they impair my nose, but with SWS 1) his toast Havana Toast I find doesn’t have this effect and 2) Latakia blend is so spectacular that I couldn’t be concerned about anything else at the time [-O<
