Does anyone know of any eucalyptus based snuffs other than the WoS Aniseed and Eucalyptus or the currently unobtainable Dr. Rumney’s Export? Or is the Dr. Rumney’s Export available somewhere (not the menthol in the smashbox)?
Atherthon’s Eucalyptus and Gawith Hoggarth Eucalyptus are 2 that I found with a quick Google search
I’m sorry, I wasn’t quite clear. I meant to say “Are there any eucalyptus based snuffs that in anybody’s opinion are comparable in quality to the Dr. Rumney’s Export,” which I found to be fantastic. I don’t think the Atherton’s or Gawith are still manufactured.
Atherton’s is a brand new brand, likely repackaged Gawith Hoggarth. GH Eucalyptus is still made, try Snuffstore.uk. It has no menthol as far as I know. I never had Dr. Rumney’s. I think there is one on ebay right now.
Rumney’s Export eucalyptus snuff is carried by Nicotinerush, but they are out right now. You might ask if and when they expect more.
W.O.S. SM Brown and S.M.500 Both have some eucalyptus in them. So does Poschls President.
President has eucalyptus in it? hmm, I guess the menthol overpowers it, or maybe I’m just not able to detect it yet. my nose isn’t up to snuff lol
Thanks for all the information people. I guess it’s harder to get eucalyptus snuff than I thought. I expected there would be some wildly popular brand that I never heard about. Maybe Toque will perceive the entrepreneurial opportunity; eucalyptus is MUCH easier on the nose than menthol. I love my mentholated snuffs, but they are kind of hard on me. In the meantime, I await a restock of Dr. Rumney’s export; I don’t want to order from The Snuff Store for just one product.
@LHB: I don’t know if you’re into doing your own mixes, but you can buy a bottle of organic eucalyptus essential oil at Whole Foods or any other health food store. It is amazing to me how well eucalyptus complements American scotches. Eucalyptus mixed with W.E. Garrett or Navy Plain is fantastic. It also goes great mixed with Honey Bee!
@ kjoerup I’ve been boycotting Whole Foods, but the controversy has died down, and I think I can allow myself a bottle of Eucalyptus Oil, especially since I’ve got so many Sweet Scotches here to experiment with. Thanks for the tip! Do you just put a few drops into the smash box and shake it up, or is there some more sophisticated way of doing it?
@LHB: I avoid Whole Foods as well. You live in the DFW Metroplex, correct? Go to Central Market in Plano or Southlake. They are better in every conceivable way. I just place a few drops of essential oil on a piece of blotting paper – keep in mind that a little goes a long way! – and place it in a well-sealed jar atop the snuff. You can shake it around every other day or so, if you’d like. I leave it for about a week, minimum. Cheap, quick, easy and very effective.
@ kjoerup Thanks for the advice! I’m relatively new to this and would have just dumped the essential oil in the snuff. I do live in DFW, but I have strange anxiety disorder, called “north of 635-O-phobia.” I have a mortal fear of going anywhere in the metroplex that’s north of 635. Just thinking about the 972 area code is making me a little anxious, which is why I try not to answer my work phone. I had better stick to the one on Greenville. They closed the Whole Foods at Forest and Preston, btw, in case you didn’t know. Huzzah!
