mmmmm, tobacco!
Oh no. If anyone buys one tonight I wont be able to get it. Might cry. Just a little. The 15s don’t count! Okay I guess they do.
Nooooooooo! It’s gone.
I hope more will be made.
Phew, glad I didn’t wait and got my second order in yesterday. Is it really all gone already or just the 50’s? A great launch indeed. After about two days of initially receiving my two little 15g tins (which are absolutely fine as I like the little tins for using other snuffs once they’re empty) I realised I had better get back and grab a 50 as this is defintiely going to be part of my regular daily snuffing. I think it even improved/matured some already after the air has got into it with use. I also bought another 5 Paul Gottard Latakia which is similar but a bit stronger, darker and more fermented but otherwise the same dry semi-fine grind. A little of that added to the Havana gives it an absolutely brilliant extra savoury flavour. I’m totally totally (yes I did say that twice) addicted to this. My snuffing definitely has made a great leap this week.
A very kind gentleman gifted me a nice taste of Havana Toast and I am forever in his debt. It is wonderful snuff. Now I’ll have to be very frugal with it until Sir Johnny decides to sell it in 500 gram drums.
Thank God I don’t have to be frugal with it, at least for now! It doesn’t really lend itself very well to frugality.
I just recently received a 15g tin of this very delicious snuff. I only wish I would have picked up the 50g tin. I 've been smoking cigars for many years and this snuff was spot on.
Yep all out at Mr Snuff, Is there another batch on the go …
Definitely positive up my hooter. I wouldn’t sell my tins of it for a million bucks. Ok I would but not a penny less. Would definitley buy again. Bet the next batch goes even more quickly so best make it a large one Johnny.
Sold out in less than a month, that’s insane. Shame I didn’t manage to get my mitts on a tin… *grumbles*
I have to say, I like Lundy Foot better. The new one is good, but the Lundy Foot has more punch and burn. I also think the flavours are more complex and interesting. Still happy to have got the 50 gram tin rather than the fifteen, and it won’t go wasted.
@lunecat "Who can say what snuff delights await us in the future from SWS? " There is a cracker in the works I can tell you. From the description I just received from Sir Johnny I am VERY excited. But hush my mouth… I have said too much already.

I was thinking Lunecat was referring to one of his “little samples”. Might as well spill the beans now. I’ll have to hold off on all my Mr Snuff orders until the new baby arrives. That should hurry em up. Just kidding take time and utmost preparation care. I hope it’s another nice tobacco something like Havana Toast but it’s sounding like another out there one. I hope not Turkish Delight. I hate that stuff although if Johnny made a snuff of it I’d probably love it!
My sincere hope is that Sir Johnny is working on a Perique snuff. Perhaps a VaPer for the many briar brothers on this site. A toasted VaPer would put me in Bayou heaven 
@chefdaniel He is indeed working on a Perique snuff, he was saying it should hit the stores in amout a month
@chefdaniel, this thread: snuffhouse.org/discussion/7681/perique-snuff-revisiting-an-old-topic#latest
Great news! @JakartaBoy; I guess I am delinquent in my snuffhouse reading. My bad and many, many thanks for the link.
Sorry new boy question I gather Perique is the tobacco used ?
@Derek_007 Perique From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perique Perique /pəˈriːk/ is a type of tobacco from Saint James Parish, Louisiana, known for its strong, powerful, and fruity aroma. When the Acadians made their way into this region in 1776, the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes were cultivating a variety of tobacco with a distinctive flavor. A farmer named Pierre Chenet is credited with first turning this local tobacco into what is now known as Perique in 1824 through the technique of pressure-fermentation. Production The tobacco plants are manually kept suckerless and pruned to exactly 12 leaves through their early growth. In late June, when the leaves are a dark, rich green and the plants are 24-30 inches (600 to 750 mm) tall, the whole plant is harvested in the late evening and hung to dry in a sideless curing barn. Once the leaves have partially dried but are still supple (usually less than 2 weeks in the barn), any remaining dirt is removed and the leaves are moistened with water and stemmed by hand. The leaves are then rolled into “torquettes” of approximately 1 pound (450 g) and packed into hickory whiskey barrels. The tobacco is kept under pressure using oak blocks and massive screw jacks, forcing nearly all the air out of the still-moist leaves. Approximately once a month the pressure is released, and each of the torquettes is worked by hand to permit a little air back into the tobacco. After a year of this treatment, the perique is ready for consumption, although it may be kept fresh under pressure for many years. Extended exposure to air degrades the particular character of perique. The finished tobacco is dark brown - nearly black - very moist with a fruity, slightly vinegary aroma. The fruity aroma is the result of hundreds of volatile compounds created by anaerobic fermentation of the tobacco. Many of these are responsible for the flavors of fruits and are often found in wine. Often considered the truffle of pipe tobaccos, perique is used as a component of various blended pipe tobaccos, as many people consider it too strong to be smoked pure. At one time, the fresh and moist perique was also chewed, but none is now sold for this purpose. Fewer than 16 acres (65,000 m²) of this crop remain in cultivation. Most Louisiana perique is cultivated by farmer Percy Martin in Grande Pointe, Louisiana. Although at its peak Saint James Parish was producing around 20 tons of perique a year, output is now merely a few barrelsful. Most of the perique used in pipe tobacco is not perique at all, but green river burley that is processed in the same manner as perique. Although the process produces a strong, spicy tobacco, it is a far different product from the genuine perique grown on Percy Martin’s and the Poche family’s farms. Pierre Chenet’s grand daughter, Coralie Decareau, married Celestin Poche in February, 1829, and the Poche family has been involved in the cultivation and processing of Perique tobacco through current times. There are currently only three farmers who grow tobacco commercially in Saint James Parish. While traditionally a pipe tobacco (and still available from some specialist tobacconists), perique can also be found in Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company’s perique cigarettes under the Natural American Spirit brand in an approximately 1 part to 5 blend with lighter tobaccos. These cigarettes are marketed in a black box (Perique Rich Robust) and in a gray box (Perique Rich.) Loose tobacco for rolling is sold by the same company in black pouches. Perique is also featured in the Mysterioso line of cigars made by the Connecticut Valley Tobacconist. Mysterioso is available with a genuine Connecticut shade wrapper, genuine aged Louisiana Perique, and Honduran tobacco. It is the only cigar in the world that uses a perique blend.
