As ever, thanks for the info @MisterPaul. I was a huge fan of SG London Brown too
@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!
F&T Bureau. Still retains it’s chameleon like scent despite being 10+ years old.
1:1 Toque Rustica (suitably prepared) and 41P White Elephant.
@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.
SG KB Scented, swiftly followed by Bernards Zweifacher.
A post shower, scrub and shave pinch of WoS Royal George to start the working day today
Toque Almond Toast - Alright… Not really a favourite though…
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
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
Back on the Grand Cairo my first and forever favourite snuff.
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.
I always thought that J&H Wilson SP no.1. was a fair snuff as SP go. It was really just that, Top Mill if you were lucky, and Jip or Hedges for your ‘newsagents’ snuff selection back in the day…
As I had the J&H Wilson SP no.1 (none too fresh either!) out the other day I’m going to push on with M&W’s Black Rappee ;)
SG KB Scented. I am enjoying this immensely at the moment; a more than adequate substitute for the KB Special (which was one of my absolute staples).
Otto Glacier
A couple off before bed pinches of Rosinski’s Berliner Luff and off I go! (
Back on the Princes Special to finish the day. My nose is starting to detect some of the subtleties and it’s really growing on me.
