Agreed. I would love to see at least 50g & 100g. That would be great.

I don’t order often, larger sizes would suit me better. You could also go smaller; like a 5 gram packet for first timers to try.

@volunge does the Madras Toast have a pure tobacco scent or is there perfume and/or barnyard-ey overtones?

My 25 g tub wasn’t super fresh, so I can’t comment on ammonia, but I recall it having a pure, lightly toasted Indian tobacco scent. I mean, no perfume whatsoever, but it does have some vague scent in the far background, intrinsic to plain Indian snuffs. Same goes for Dholakia Sparrow, 6P LA Golden (Natural), FUBAR Snafu and Six Photo MG Madras.

Madras snuffs are special. They are greased and toasted, but scent-wise they have nothing in common with Irish toasts. They aren’t smokey, nutty nor BBQish. Rather… fatty, fried. Different alkalis there, too. Hits hard, astonishing, with a sharp, but rather short lasting burn, approximating the feeling of smoking pure rustica. Suprisingly, the back drip isn’t acrid at all.

It’s been almost two years since my last pinch of Dholakia Madras Toast, but as far as I can remember it was finer/less greased (i. e. somewhat drier), less toasted and lighter in colour than 6P MG Madras. Both are worth trying, small tester tubs are available (10 g D MT and 8 g 6P MGM).

Cats out of bag… Uses this as base for my homemade Banana Fostner snuff for years. Will look for time to make another big batch sooner than later… Banana B has a different baseline.

Madras Toast has a very unique flavor profile. I like it but not as an all day snuff.

anyone else just not like this stuff at all? i found it to be very barnyard smelling and not toasty. just kinda gross plain tobacco. i gave it another go a little while ago…went just a little too far back in my nose and had me in a sneezing/nose-blowing fit for several minutes, which very rarely happens to me regardless of how carelessly i snuff something. is that what a ‘madras’ toast is supposed to be like?

I didn’t enjoy my pot much either …no barnyard in mine just a sweet unremarkable tobacco …with some odd aftertaste . Mine does not appear to be the same snuff as described on the first page of this thread . 

Tried it when it first came out. Only snuff that ever made my nose bleed.

Waiting forward to try the new batch. I hope I’ll get my small order with 10 g tub of DMT tomorrow. Will report back here.

I received a tub within the last two weeks. Definitely not barnyard. A delayed burn, no crazy drip. Somewhat clogging. Pure tobacco taste without any trace of incense. Found it to be unremarkable, but not bad by any means.

After revisiting it, I got to admit I’m not overly impressed with it now either. This is not to say that I dislike it or find any significant deviation from the last batch. It simply seems my nose became more educated (or should I rather blame my heightened need of nicotine) over the last two years. Back then, when I still didn’t know Indian white snuffs, before I tried other Indian fine snuffs, such as Dholakia Sparrow, FUBAR Toasted, 6P Gul and another Madras snuff - 6P MG, Dholakia Madras Toast was my first experience of strong Indian snuff. I was astounded by DMT’s fine grind, sharp, prolonged burn and nicotine kick. All these traits are still there in the latest batch, it’s good, simple, plain (but in no way bland), fine, dry, stronger than medium snuff, which might suprise any snufftaker with low-to medium nicotine tolerance. Mine is a lot higher now and I need three good pinches of DMT for each nostril to feel satiated (as opposed to a single medium-sized pinch of FUBAR Toasted or 6P MG Madras per nostril or one large pinch of Neftobak, Taxi or NTSU).

I can second @Hitsuzen on DMT being ‘Madras light’. It’s more about toast than Madras snuff. I enjoy toasty notes of this snuff and prefer it to most other proper toasts for a daily use in terms of strength. There’s a slight sourness as well, which reminds me of the discontinued GH Irish D, the toast I loved and, regrettably, discovered too late. This snuff does have it’s character, which is strong enough to be used as a mixer with other plain snuffs. Tried mixing it with 6P Cheeta Gul (1:1) earlier this morning and found the combo of instant gul slap and nicely lingering toasted tobacco scent very enjoyable.

And for the final remark, I was a bit disappointed to find this 10 g tub not filled up to the rim (my first 25 g tub was full). I don’t care much about the weight match (I believe there was every label-declared gram in that sealed container), but I just love to find any snuff tin/box/tub/can full of snuff. Well, this wasn’t. And strangely, contrary to my expectations, there was no ammonia in supposedly fresh product (no date of manufacturing on the tin). Full tin preserves freshness (i. e. moisture, whatever low it originally might be in drier snuffs, and ammonia, which rises pH and enhances free nicotine uptake) so much better.

volunge totally agree with the last paragraph.I was also disappointed with my last 50g tube(not filled up and drier than my old 25g.And the smell is not so buttery like before-more biscuity I think)

I prefered the previous one wich was dark brown and moister…had something solid in it…

Maybe the problem is the storage of the vendors because I also recieved two SWS Havana Toast pale and dry compared to the older batch…I don’t know…
