A 'Tea & SP' type of afternoon with some Mullins & Westley Particular interspersed with the occasional bump of Artisan Snuff JP for some added bounce, pondering keeping that vibe going with WoS Best Dark now... :-?;-):D
Drinking some tea again this morning, so a little alternation between Hedges & M&W's Particular following on from a post shower and shave bump of WoS Royal George
@ALLex have you tried Toque USA Kentucky Bourbon? Now that smells like bourbon. I don't use it out of or before leaving the house because I'm concerned it'll smell like I was drinking whiskey in my car! Very different snuff, high moisture (Bourbon? :D ) etc. but so different that it's worth mentioning.
@ar47 Thanks for the info, i have never tried the USA Bourbon only the standard one which is on a toast base and I like that it is not smelling exactly like bourbon in the nose and it smells more of woody tobacco .
One day maybe i ll try a tin of the USA Kentucky Bourbon just out of curiosity!
But i have to restock on some of my favorites first.
How is the Poschl black ?
Never heard of this one but its a long time since i visited mrsnuff or toque website.
I ve read and heard from reviewers that it is very low on nicotine but for me this snuff never fails to deliver, I always feel the nicotine from Toque Violet.
For me this is a medium to strong snuff, with a sweet scent and it always satisfies me.
@ALLex, I assume Poschl black stands for Gawith Original in the black tap box.
Back in the day when Poschl had smaller catalogue (pre-internet times), I (and some friends of mine) used to refer to the popular Poschl snuffs (RB, Gletscher, GO, Lowen, President) as the red box, the blue box, the black box, the brown box, the silver box.
Now the range has expanded and sticking to said naming may cause some confusion. The latest addition to Poschl catalogue - another black box (reportedly, mentholated liquorice snuff, probably with the addition of camphor, topped with tonka, vanila and perhaps a whiff of anis).
Now talking about toasts (or high dried type, putting it more accurately), being based mostly on stem flour which contains less nicotine than lamina, they just cannot shine in nicotine department. While huge boxcar load makes a nic fix, it's rather short-lived. Two exceptions are SWS Lundy Foot and St James Parish Blend, which are made from pure lamina and have some rustica in the blend; I find they are head and shoulders above the rest classic high dried (HDT, Irish No.22, Irish D) snuffs – potency-wise on a par to Toque USA W&H.
It's going to be mostly SNUV Rusty Trombone & M&W's Particular today as regrettably I have left all my normal rotation in my other bag and come into the office without them :O:((
