I returned late Sunday from 4 days spent at the Chicago Pipe Show, which, as many of you know, is the largest gathering in the world for pipe collectors and enthusiasts. Several thousand people come to the show every year from 65 countries. As a serious pipe collector and pipe smoker for 40 years, I was there to see treasured old friends and to add to my collection of pipes and vintage tobaccos. I was also sharing Abraxas Cafe 11 with many people, some who love snuff and others who have never tried snuff at all. Even among the snuff fans, they have been mostly limited only to those snuffs available here in the USA. When they sniffed the small jar, their eyes opened wide and they gazed at me with a look of wonder and amazement. All, without exception, said they had never encountered anything like Cafe 11. I told them the same was true for me. When they asked about it, which they inevitably did, I told them that it was one of the very finest snuffs in all the world. Then when I suggested they actually snuff Cafe 11 most of them did so. Heh Heh. I can tell you that they were consistently bedazzled, astonished, and blown away by the power and olfactory beauty of Cafe 11. I had so much fun doing this that you can bet that I will be taking more great snuffs to Chicago next year. I am thinking that I will take more Abraxas types to Chicago, as well as those of Sir Walter Scott, Toque, Bernard, Dholakia, and others. If you go to the Chicago Show next year, I will be easy to find. I will be honored to take a pinch or two with you. Be proud, Nigel @Abraxas. You did good, my friend. :)>- ^:)^
I wish I ordered Cafe 11. How does it compare to other coffee snuffs? Does it leave SnuffStore’s Cafe Noir in the dust?
@Lunecat I considered for some time which snuff I should use to make a first impression of great flavor and high impact on snuff users and non users alike. I kept coming back to Cafe 11. It worked. I am happy that you agree. Thank you
@DilligafB In my opinion, Cafe 11 is the very best of the coffee snuffs and in the top 5 of all snuffs anywhere in the world. I like some of the other coffee snuffs but none of them compare to Cafe 11. But that is just me, of course. Your experience may vary. I do urge you to try it in any case.
I’ve been staring at the screen trying to think of something worthy and succinct - I’ll leave it at thank you, this means a lot to me.
