What's In Your Nose? #13 (Part 1)

@MisterPaul I think Viking Dark Rappee was just a rebranded SG black rappee. It was my favourite rappee. Similar to Viking Dark but with a coarser grind.

I’ve not had F&T’s Dr J.R. yet (another one for the list). Currently smashing on with the McC O&G which at this rate, will be finished this week :)

@Nulliverse - Ah! I might save my money there then, I still have some of the SG Black Rappee left. This is all to do with the fact that SG stopped making their London Brown snuff which was my all time favourite. The black rappee is close, but not quite the same, M&W’s one seems to be the one that I’m picking up most like I said. 

FYI: Dr. J.R. Justice is just a 50/50 blend of Morlaix and Bordeaux, so if you have one of those you could just buy the other and jar it up yourself ;-)

A new snuff for me today F&T Princes Special. I’m enjoying the grind on this. A little more of the floral than Princes itself and a lot less coarse making it easier to take especially during the day.

As ever, thanks for the info @MisterPaul. I was a huge fan of SG London Brown too :frowning:

@Vernstaken, Spanish Gem is a really good all day snuff. I slightly prefer the grind and nic of Toque’s Ambrosia, which is otherwise the same as Spanish Gem.

Visiting Old Paris with F&T currently, I might have to pull out the Spanish Gem and reminisce later though!

@Tapout @Nulliverse I didn’t fancy the sound of it and resisted for ages but got my first tin a little while ago and I love it. It’s a classic indeed!

Coarse siftings of Irish 22.

Only about 5% didn’t pass through 150 micron sieve. I like toasts and don’t find the grind too fine, but still much prefer this coarser fraction to powder - it’s more tobaccoy.

M&W Black Rappee - the more I snuff this the more I appreciate its richness and the complexity of the base tobacco. Not one to leave and get stale.

@Huysmans - I’m really liking that one, it’s definitely my ‘go to’ Rappee currently, I completely agree with you about the complexity of it, much more multi-faceted than you would think - A lovely addition to my rotation, I think a further tin of this for my next order too :slight_smile:

Currently on my other favourite course snuff of the moment; some old M&W Cafe Royale

I was going to join @Huysmans on the M&W’s Black Rappee, but a late swerve has landed me with the other tin SWS Aged Border Rappee

J&H Wilson SP no.1. One of the snuffs that was commonly availiable when I started snuffing, always something I go back to, only really worth getting the 20g tins though, the smaller ones lose a lot of their flavour quickly.

@BeerandSnuff I was pleasantly surprised by SP No. 1. Easy to take and much nicer than some of the old reviews of this snuff had led me to imagine. I think Wilsons must have improved the quality but that’s just my surmise.
