Favorite Bernard snuff.

Feel free to expound upon your choice or the choices of others. However, this thread is a scenario in which you could only choose one snuff from this Brand.

I have not tried them all, but so far Gekachelter Virginie is by far my favorite of the Bernard line.

Gekachelter Virginie & Zwiefacher are my top two, Zwiefacher being the one I would choose as the sole representative of the brand.

I haven’t yet tried their non-schmalzlers, but the Bernard Brasil Doppelt Fermentiert is probably my favorite schmalzler. I wish they’d sell it larger packages, though.

Wow. Great to see the love for Virginie! I didn’t realise so many people had ‘discovered’ it amongst the schmalzlers! Virginie is awesome - a perfect plain snuff. I also like Klostermischung. Wasn’t so keen on Zwiefacher (menthol). The Brasils are all good. Offenbacher Kostlich will probably be the next one I try

Bernard Aecht Alt Schmalzler My first and favorite And I do have them all; except for the non tobacco snuffs. No tobacco No sale!. for some reason your first tend to be a favorite. I still hit Levi Garrett as nasty as it is; compare to today’s selection. I haven’t found a bernard I didn’t like. The menthol ones were strange but I still like them

I could echo what shaman says almost. I’ve not tried the most recent releases of the last two years, but everything from them has been outstanding. The only one I’d probably avoid in future is Klostermischung. I found it a bit gritty, and the drip makes me gag. A single favorite would be tough. Maybe by category I could do it: traditional snuff: Alt Offenbacher Köstlich schmalzler: Aecht Alt Bayericher halb-schmalzer: Zwiefacher modern menthol/scented: toss up between Fichtennadel and Amosthrina

Jubilaums, closely followed by Zweifacher. Must try Virginie judging by it’s popularity - one for my next order :smiley:

Have only tried about 3, maybe 4, but of those I like Fichtennadel the best.
