What’s your favorite? What one(s) do you hate? Do you even like SPs? Personally, so far in my snuff journey I enjoy SP Extra the most from Toque. I’ve only had 3 different SPs but SP-X is pretty damn good. A cut above the rest, for sure. St. Clements is 2nd, with WoS Tom Buck in 3rd.
My favourite (in my limited experience) so far is Wilsons of Sharrow Best SP. I love the aroma and for me it’s not too big a nic hit so it can be taken often. J&H Wilson SP no.1 I like too, but not as much. WoS SP100 is also good. Have tried McChrystals and don’t like it as much as the above two. So my ‘desert island’ SP is WoS Best SP, without a doubt so far.
Sounds interesting. I will have to throw Best SP in my next order for sure.
If I were you I’d try WoS Best SP or SP2, Toque Original, J&H Wilsons Top Mill No.1 and SP. No.1 and maybe one of the Sam Gawith offerings, such as High Mill, Scotch or SP No.1. My favourite SP, like you, is Toque SP Extra.
Definitely plan on adding plenty of SPs on future orders.
SG SP Scotch is my favorite, followed by Abraxas St. Casura; but, frankly, I’ve never met an SP that I didn’t like. Mistersnuff has an SP bundle if I recall correctly.
I’ll check it out @mouse. I have a few SPs coming in the mail that I am eager to try.
I’m not an SP kind of guy, but JH Wilsons offering is quite interesting.
I want to try Toque SP Extra now… @killeidoskope Get some Best SP, you won’t regret it. It’s a fine grind and easy to hit the back of your throat but it’s gorgeous. It’s possibly not only my desert island SP, but my desert island snuff. Maybe…
For me, I really like McChrystal’s S’Nuff, and I could seriously mainline WoS Gold Label. Beautiful…
Of all that I have tried the ones I like best are Toque SP Extra, Samuel Gawith SP Scotch, and J&H Wilson SP No. 1. I’ll usually have at least one on hand at any given time but miss the other one(s) that I don’t have in stock.
I’ve just had a big pinch of Hedges followed by Tom Buck. Being one of the most popular SP varieties, I find it strange that nobody has named it yet.
Fave is SP Extra, then St Casura, SP 100, Best SP, oh I forgot Toque Original and all the plain SGs. Red, Yellow, Blue Crest all are very good w/ little or no scent. Never tried the scented varieties. And Top Mill by SG. I’m currently exploring all of the Old Mills and not taking much SP these days.
No one has mentioned wos gold label or best dark. Imo both reorders.
I like Tom Buck. I considered it a “game changer” in regards to snuffing for me. I have a few more WOS SP varieties I have yet to open - I purposefully have wanted to open and consume only one at a time so i can track it’s “flavor” from full fresh tin to last crumbs without confusion.
So far, I’ve tried McChrystal’s SP, Wilson’s SP 100, and Wilson’s Gold Label. Of the three, Gold Label is my favorite.
Wilson’s Queens (aka Tom Buck) (possibly aka Tranter’s Dr Johnson).
Toque SP Extra, McChrystal’s SP
Glad to see my topic was revived. I’m still actively compiling a list of SPs that I am eager to try.
@Dxx Tranters Dr Johnson is a nice smoky sp, but without the floral notes of Tom Buck
