In my short but illustrious snuff career (6 months) I have finally plumped for some Fribourg & Treyer and would like further recommendations based on what I like so far! I’ve tried Old Paris and Santa Domingo based on recommendations here and on snuffreviews.com and my observations are that I *love* (as in **love**!) Old Paris. I get that very earthy base tobacco scent that the other components really bring out for me but don’t overpower. When I first tried WoS Grand Cairo I fell in love, and Old Paris for me is a very similar experience, but I like it even more as the tobacco is more fluffy and less dry. For some reason I get a strange whiff of that gorgeous smell of sun on dusty streets just after rain. This interests me as that smell has a name and proven origin! It’s called “petrichor” and is apparently an oil exuded by plants as protection from dry spells. This may be entirely irrelevant but I wonder if tobacco has this oil. Santa Domingo I find nice but much more an “occasional” tobacco: there is something in there that I find a little harder going. I notice the base tobacco is much darker than Old Paris, and like WoS Best Dark, I initially love it but find it a bit too tangy after a while. It may not be the dark tobacco though but some strong ingredient I don’t take to as well: maybe geranium or violet? If anyone can tell me what may be in common between SD and BD I’d appreciate it. At any rate, Old Paris is already a snuff I want to take every day. Could anyone recommend other F&T snuffs that match OP well? Nothing too overpowering and that fluffy lighter brown tobacco base? People seem to say that several F&Ts are mixtures of others, so I’m after something like OP but not *too* like it 
@polly if you love Old Paris then i think you will also, in high probability, love Morlaix. Also try Dr.JR Justice ( 50/50 blend of Bordeaux and Morlaix) which is a bit more strongly scented but also excellant.
try them all.
some are all days and some are treats.
Hi @Polly. F&T’s Old Paris is likewise one of my very firm favourites. I would recommend Macouba given your comments; it combines earthy and bergamot citrus (think F&T’s answer to Grand Ciaro cross with OP). Other than that SWS excelent Creme de Figue is a similar flavour but a very different feel and grind. If you’re not into geranium or violet I personally would avoid Morlaix and Justice, both are excellent but are in no way all day snuff (for me anyways) as they are floral/perfume type scents and linger for a good while in the nose. All the best with your seach!
@Polly, I agree that you will probably enjoy Macouba. I would also recommend French Carotte. No, there isn’t any carrots in it. I think it’s the best sandalwood snuff on the market. Let us know what you try next.

@gryffandor - so true, that had slipped my mind but is an excellent recommendation; well played. 
Thank you all for your suggestions! I actually have WoS Morlaix, is the F&T similar? I *quite* like it occasionally, but again it has something in it I have to take in small doses. Maybe it is violet common between that and Santa Domingo as @MisterPaul suggests. As for Macouba, I have some Molens Macouba that I really didn’t take to at all, but that’s probably because it arrived like sawdust in those horrible little see-through tap boxes 
Not sure if I should try to revive it… But I’m guess this gives me no indication at all of what F&T Macouba is like. Could someone suggest what kinds of flavours it has? If it is like Grand Cairo, I’m in! French Carotte! Thanks @gryffandor, I do quite like WoS Sandalwood, although I find the scent disappears very quickly. I may well want to try this in F&T if it’s appreciably different…? What about Patchouli? It doesn’t seem a common choice for F&T favourites but I suspect I may like it due to a misspent youth… Any views on this one appreciated. Finally everyone mentions Bureau: is this a dark tobacco like Santa Domingo or lighter like Old Paris? And what sorts of scents…?
@Polly French Carotte is nothing like WoS Sandalwood. It has the longest lasting scent of any other I have tried with the exception of menthols, which don’t agree with me & cause rebound congestion. Hope this helps :)>-
Yeah to the misspent youth/patchouli connection, lol. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds…
If you had any princes F&T makes a good one. I just adore their toast,I use that often. seville reminds me of old ladies perfume.
Seville- The first Snuff I ever had. I still have 7/8ths of a small tin after 3years. Wretched, in my opinion. Smells like … ok… you know those women who are 45 but are still goin clubbing and hitting on anything that moves? Imagine they had a purse, one they take with them to the club because it makes them look “sexy”…now take a huge huff of the interior of that purse…that is what Seville smells like to me. Blech [-O< :-& others seem to enjoy it though.
Hello again @Polly Yes, I’d say F&T’s Macouba is a kind of cross between WoS Grande Cairo (the bergamot/citrus scent is definately apparent in the mix) and a good SP. It’s certainly OK to take as an everyday snuff. If you like Cairo I can’t foresee that you wouldn’t apprecaite this. Patchouli is an odd cookie and seems to divide the snuff fiends! It smells lovely, but it extremely long in the nose and really lingers and carries: i.e. as a before bed snuff you’ll still be getting the scent the next day. Not an everydayer for me, but historically it’s one of the oldest F&T blends and is a nice occassional snuff.
WOS Sherry is very similar, seems to me to be the same base. It is like a slightly tart Old Paris.
Thanks again for all the comments! French Carotte is now on the list! And I’ve had enough people warn me about Seville to not try it for now (I assume it’s not just orange…) @MisterPaul F&T Macouba is now very definitely on the list too, because I am a huge fan of Grand Cairo and just about any SP! I actually always think of GC as a SP plus other scents… I am intrigued by Patchouli and may just go for it because I love the idea of smelling a very old blend with some history. @khalid thanks, I keep being tempted by WoS Sherry, maybe I’ll try. @basement_sharman is F&T Princes like WoS Princes? I’m not entirely enamoured of the latter, and not sure why - maybe it’s a little too violetty for me, if I remember it correctly.
In other words “smells like a tart’s handbag” You know it’s funny… I always associate this description with Royal George… 
I find Seville to be a masterpiece. Both invigorating and intoxicating. No, its not orange. Its neroli, the oil extracted from Seville Orange flowers. However, in keeping with the topic its nothing like Old Paris.
Like Xander, I really like Seville. I have had my tin for about 8 months, don’t use it very often, but when I do, I enjoy it a very much. Its powerful Neroil scent may smell like a “tarts handbag” to some, but to me, its a wonderful aroma. The underlying tobacco is reddish brown, and after putting a slice of carrot in it a week ago, is now fluffy, moist and satisfying(takes another pinch…) yeah, its worth a try for sure. Oh and as above…its nothing like OP at all. A different character altogether.
Yes, another vote for Seville and patchouli. I like all of the F&T snuffs.
Thanks all! I ordered F&T Macouba and Patchouli and some WoS Sherry. Seville will be added to my “wildcard” list! I wish F&T did tiny taster pots.
