Favorite SP?

I love Morlaix, but I don’t get any floral hints in there?

I know its a secret as to what’s in it, but i get some lemon and a hint of violet. I have Royal George in my nose now, so forget tasting some for the time being. I’ll check it out later when my nose is clear. Maybe I should call it a complex SP instead. F&T Morlaix, though, is not an SP, though the scents are similar.

I forgot about Wilson of Sharrow’s SS. I haven’t spent much time with it, but first impression was really good.

W ansd H Wilson SP No 1 WoS Best SP Toque Original WoS SP 100 The exact meaning of SP has been discussed at length. As far as I am aware there is no set parameter by the industry as to what an SP is, altough most share some similar characteristics: medium grind, moisture, nicotine and bergamot/citrus like overtones over a plain base.

WOS Gold Label. An SP of sorts and very good.

WoS Grand Cairo Toque Original WoS Best SP

I ordered some toque original, SP extra, and JH wilsons sp1

What? No Grand Cairo after almost everyone suggested it? LOL, I’m sure you will be happy with your choices.

For some reason Grand Cairo doesn’t bowl me over. I’ve finished a tin of it off quite quickly, but without the greatest of pleasure (mainly to finish it off before it became stale). The name promised much for me - I was expecting something exotic and spicey. It is distinctive though, with hints of cardamom and bergamot. As for Wilsons Morlaix, it is too floral to be an SP really. I don’t think rose oil is a traditional SP ingredient.

For me it is: Wilsons Tom Buck Toque Original McChrystals SP In that order today, though my nose changes quite a bit depending on the weather it seems.

I already have grand cairo

Grand Cairo S.S. Tom Buck

My ones are: Toque Original WoS SS WoS SP100 Tom Buck Top Mill No.1 But I think they’re changing evey week :slight_smile: !

Ok, I got a tin of WoS IDHT20 as the toasted SP. I was a little disappointed. Now the snuff is good, but it’s not what I was expecting. Maybe someone can tell me if what I was thinking of even exists. I’m looking for something as soft and light as F&T HDT (in color, grind, dryness, and everything) but with the SP flavorings. I found HDT20 to be more lemony than just generally citrusy (if that even makes sense) I have SG Red and Blue crest coming as well as a few others. The search is very fun though.

You might like Sam Gawiths HDT and SP’s, they differ quite a bit from the standard flavours - see reviews on the review site. You may find just putting one part of something like Toque SP Extra into a plain HDT will get you closer to what you are looking for. But I agree, the search is half the fun!

My vote is WOS Gold Label for #1 and WOS Grande Cairo for #2

I wasn’t sure how to classify Hopfen either. Someone suggested floral so I kind of went with that in my mind. Its good tho.

I mixed 1:1 F&T HDT and WoS HDT20 with good results. I think that maybe I will try HDT with a little SP Extra 3:1 tomorrow.

I think you are right Spyro because I think they use the flower of the hops for flavoring.

I did a 3:1 SP Extra/Dholakia Black with excellent results. Black and SP go hand in hand imo.
