@Mr_O wow, they were very forthcoming, and thanks for sharing that info. I wrote to them a few times, and never got much back. I still don’t know what CCC stands for… Anyway, looks like a good selection you have.
I havent seen Golden Glow mentioned yet. Very distinct and original. I’ve got a few tins. Nice burn to it as well. The scent lasts for hours. I often smell it the next morning, it’s that lingering.
Very good info @Mr_O!
Xander- thank’s! I’m trying to plan a happy future with some good additions to my snuff family. I don’t know if you’ve had it but I had the CCC in a tap box and even then it had some nice flavor. It did seem to agree with their description of being scented with various root herbs (I think that’s what they said on their website.) Yeah, I was very happy with their prompt (a matter of hours) and informative reply!
Princes has no musk, as far as I recall. I would avoid SG’s fruit snuffs. Most are very artificial smelling.
This is something I just found out. I don’t like the Cherry or Strawberry. But, the Apple is actually not bad at all. I’m gonna have to try out some of these other SG’s mentioned in this thread.
@Mr_O I have the CCC and yes, I can speculate on the flavor as well. Correct, something spicy-herbal. I just want to know what the initials “CCC” meant. @TopgraphicTales I’ll grant that the Apple is the exception to that rule. I’ve had the Raspberry and Apricot only otherwise and was not happy with either. Not too keen on the Mimosa either. Also I have to add that their straight florals (not counting Bouquet and some of the floral type blends) are pretty awful. Wallflower and Carnation are just bad. They are night and day compared to Wilsons ones of the same names. Wilsons makes excellent florals. However, I’m only one opinion. So try for yourselves.
Make sure you try the Banana , If not for the Banana flavor for the smooth sweet tobacco drip . strange it became my fave .
The raspberry is the longest lasting scent I had come across with the SG offerings.didn’t care for the apricot or cherry.Vanilla has little to no scent and there are better chocolates to be had.
The raspberry is still a likely try for me, had a tap box of it and still had some scent to it-not bad. It’s nice to have feedback, a vanilla or chocolate I would want to have a fairly strong scent, so you may have saved me some trouble! Was the cherry just plain unpleasant, too sweet, too artificial? If it was what I would like to picture it’d be nice, probably not the case though… not much of a fan of banana in general, personally, 'cept for nanner bread… I’m curious about the difference between Ma’s Ruin and Gin and Tonic, is it just a bit of lime added? Quinine doesn’t have a scent does it? Anyways thank’s for the guidance and info people! Think I’m heading in the right direction…
Simply cannot go wrong with black coffee, wild duck, celtic talisman or cob dark. I generally like their blends and certainly like their packaging. Love the satisfying sound of the vacuum seal opening up.
stogie-Loox like I’ll have at least 2 of the 4 you mentioned. Does the wild duck have anything besides peppermint? I’d really like a strong peppermint + eucalyptus (+ lavender maybe) flavored snuff, but I’m not aware of one. Especially a lovely whoosh when one cracks open a very old tin of pipe tobacco.
@Mr_O The Wild Duck does indeed have peppermint, but it also has a very smokey undercurrent, the combination is very wonderful. Walks in the forest in the evening with a fire going sort of thing. Very soothing for me.
I meant I heard it’s peppermint, but I was curious if there were other scents in there as well. I’d just have to try it. I am a big fan of Peppermint Dark though. I’ve tried some of the other peppermints, but my specimens were kind of old and degraded, some were perhaps too light in the condition I tried them, but I’ve never found anything offensive in any of them. So eventually I’ll get some Wild Duck, Afterglow, Auld Sannick, Peppermint (Gold/Light ?), and probably any other I may have forgotten. Probably can’t go wrong…
@Mr_O To my unsophiticated nose Wild Duck is smokey peppermint. Not mentholated or fruited or flavored any other way I can tell. But the combination is rather unique in my limited experience. Hope you enjoy!!! But I would recommend at least the 25g size, otherwise WILL dry out and be a bit less enjoyable.
stogie- it does sound interesting. Yeah, I’ve basically sworn off the British snuffs in tap boxes, usually all dry by the time I get it. Yes I’m so gripped in the arms of TA anticipation already! Btw, has anybody had the GH Peppermint out of a 25g tub, or bulk? A bit disappointed from a 10g…
Mr_O It is tasty and very mild, peppermint through and through. Pleasant… fine grind and to me easy to take…
sounds good, thank’s for the info…
Now I’m curious which SG’s are the most potent nic wise.
I too think it would be helpful a bit if the manufacturers listed the amount of nicotine like they do in snus land. I doubt if it would change any of my purchases, I am just curious.
Are there any that feature the ‘sweet birch’ scent exclusively? I’d love to have a birch scented snuff.
