@Huysmans where in the world are you? Drop me a PM If it’s practicable I’ll lend you some sugar A few post dinner pinches of SWS Aged Border Rapee - This is getting better as time passes I think…
@MisterPaul That is a very kind offer indeed. I’ll work out how to send a PM on here and send you one. F&T Old Paris. Pure satisfaction.

A small break from floral menthol - today it’s Toque Pumpkin Pie in honour of the nights starting to draw in. @MrPaul. I do have a small tin of McC’s Violet as it goes. I like it a lot as I don’t find it too sweet.
Toque Spruce, SWS ABR, 41P WE in equal measures.
@Omgrona - I like that you can’t seem to resist a ‘Frankensnuff’ - The funny thing for me is that I can see the method in your magner’s!
@Puffnsnuff has inspired me to dig towards the back of the smoking cabinet for the McChrystal’s Violet. Agree, this one isn’t cloying is it? The weird thing about McChrystal’s though; when they’re fresh I find the menthol quiet punchy, but it really seems to drop once the tin has been open for a time (I even taped this one up too), I can actually smell the tobacco base flour rather nicely contrasting with the faint floral overtones. I don’t think that you ever loose that menthol edge from a can of hedges though…
I might stay floral today for a bit of change :)
Yep floral - A few pinches of some vintage Gawith Hoggarth Jockey Club
SWS ABR chased with SG Kendal Brown Special and then White Elephant. @MisterPaul I find that this layering is quite magical, but if I mix them all together in a Frankensnuff before pinching … good, but not so magical.
Gawith Hoggarth Fleurette - Leader of the pack so far this one; very pinchable. Notwithstanding that though I do have my old favourite wallflower to go still (will it me as nice as my rose tinted glasses recall?)
@omgroma - Ah, I see, layering rather than blending - Interesting; thanks for sharing
Carrying on with the floral odyssey du jour with what I’m led to believe is a carbon copy of the late great G. Smith’s Golden Cardinal Snuff - A few pinches of Gawith Hoggarth Ambasidor
M&W Mature Crumbled and 6 Photo Green Dragon have been keeping me quietly content this morning.
The final one of the florals then for todays binge - GH Wallflower, still great, there’s a pleasant ‘earthy’ tone in the mid with this one that I really like - Suspect that I will join @Huysmans with some M&W Mature Crumbled as I have a brand new tin of that, which was delivered the other day
Yep! Some pinches of M&W Mature Crumbled. I guess that you could say that this is ‘just’ an SP. But, it’s such a darn fine one A delightful bit of nose candy to be sure
SP Extra
That’s me ordering some Matured Crumbled then. I’m so fickle. Today, it’s back to my Frankensnuff. Jockey Club & Toque Menthol 50/50 with a dash of McC’s Violet (again, I’m fickle) but then two snuff spoons of Toque Rustica and Two FUBAR SNAFU plain. I call it “Bouquet Of Barbed Wire” Others may call it an abomination.
@Puffnsnuff lol! I had not heard the term Frankensnuff until @MisterPaul said it! Currently I have 1:1 White Elephant, SG Kendal Brown Original and Bernard Zweifacher. Many times when I cite a mix including some of the more artisan snuffs, I think it will be considered an abomination. But then, once one gets to know a snuff well, one can discern it in a mix and observe its alchemy.
Well it’s been a challenging week, I’ve mixed myself a vesper martini and am going to chill out and watch a film.this evening with a few pinches of SWS Field of Junipers
@MisterPaul I don’t know how you and others find Mature Crumbled but, especially now I have this tin open a good few weeks now, it has a sweet brown sugar aroma to it. Like a sugar topped fruit cake. Back to my old favourite this evening Grand Cairo.
Alternating between Viking Blonde and Thor’s Hammer all day. Now loading my boxcar with some Dragon Madras for a nightcap.
