Toque natural snuff
Grand Cairo
@volunge Im a bit sceptical about the last part engaging my tongue, but will give my nose a try just now Bernards Magic Moments with some rustica from my open hand.
Dholakia Madras Toast
It doesn’t always hit the spot, but it just did and it’s really nice.

Toque Natural best snuff ever (this and Quit)
great tobacco aroma, grind and nicotine
simplicity is genius
@ALLex, it’s truly good, but have you tried WoS Natural aka Plain? I find it even better.
Indeed, plain/natural is one of the easiest snuff to make. And one of the fastest. To make something similar, you blend air cured Burley and Virginia (1:1), or any of them, if you don’t have them both, grind it down to 125-90 microns, add finely ground 5% sodium carbonate and 2.5% sodium bicarbonate - both dry, and mix in 16-18% water. Pure lamina, finer grind and lower moisture (15-16%) gives extra strong; if you prefer solid medium potency, use both lamina and midrib (whole leave). Sun cured and flue cured fit the bill here, too.
Plain/natural is one of the easiest snuff to make. Such snuff can be used as a base snuff for metholated and flavoured snuff.
For solid medium potency, 5% sodium bicarbonate and 2.5% sodium carbonate can be used (16-18% moisture).
Poschl Red Bull. Never tried it before but it is quite pleasant and good for clearing the nose.
@volunge Thanks for that recipe! i will make some one day! so much useful knowledge and i appriciate so much the fact that you are sharing it!
@volunge I think you should seriously consider writing a book of snuff recipies and snuff infos.
Or a pdf e-book and upload it on amazon.
As for wos plain yes its very good i have one 10g tin of it.
Comparing Wos plain side by side with Toque plain (natural or quit) I have to say i find Toque to be better with a tad more proper tobacco aroma.
They are very very similar in general in fact i can mix them both together in a jar and i will be all good, but personally i find Toque better in quality at least for my taste!
These days i snuff only Toque natural and mcCrystals O&G and they are more than enought to fulfil my everyday snuff appetite.
I am waiting for a Babaton order though and i am looking forward to switch to this coarse plain african snuff! I enjoy Ntsu Black very much so i think i am gonna like Babaton, especially snuffing it with the palm method.
McCrystals O&G
Viking Thors Hammer (70 %) mixed with Poschl Radford (30 %)
not that bad mixture, somehow biscuity with a shot of menthol with a nice nic hit.
Irish no 22
Toque SP Xtra
Toque Grapefruit
W&H USA. Anyone got problems with snuffing this fine dust nowadays? Its even trickier when its dried out for me… @ALLex seconded, thats my exact thoughts I had about few days ago. @volunge I believe theres no single book on snuffmaking, or even snuff types, culture and history written in a modern, noob-friendly manner. Such niche topic could actually find wide audience, DIY blogs/books are quite popular these days. Just my two small cents

@volunge - I agree with all the views on you publishing a book. And if you do, why not search a publisher and publish it for a handsome fee?
As the Joker said “if you’re good at something never do it for free.” :)
Equal parts Abraxas Fire Cured Cerise, Chef Daniel’s Puro Dominicana, White Elephant and Bernards Zweifacher. ps Agree with everyone about @volunge getting a book together!! For sure!
