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<

Thank you! @Johnny I will be stocking up on more Tears of Chios soon. 

@snuffandsympathy

My Tears of Chios has a few clumps, probably from the resin. I would call the grind medium-fine. But there are a few coarser pieces, very few, but they are there. 

I haven’t had the ABR, but the grinds really vary from what I have had, for example. Auld Alliance is pretty coarse, I’d guess the grind is similar to ABR? Latakia, SJP, 50/50 and the toasts were all pretty fine. Mull of Oa is sorta… medium-coarse, super moist and easy to take though.

Rodalacket, thank you for the information! Do you like the general scent of Tears of Chios? Not sure if you have tried Bernards Fichtennadel but I was wondering if is as piney as that one as it bothered my nose a bit. Cheers!

@snuffandsympathy No problem, I like it a lot. I have had Bernards F. The scents are completely different. I don’t think my description does it justice, but to me the scent here is earthy, like soil and has some similarities to moss. I haven’t experienced any burn or drip from it, front or back. Scent intensity is perfect for all day use, noticeable, but never overpowering. 

If you’re looking for something like Bernards F, you could try SG Pinewood Ice. The pine scent is the same type as the Bernards, but toned down and no where near as intense, it’s mentholated too, but I’d call it moderate. The pine and menthol are about equal, neither overpowers the other.
