I’ve realized from my last order and how much I’ve been enjoying that yes I love snuff and need variety but the plan unscented snuffs in my opinion are the peak of snuff enjoyment. Hows about the rest of yous?
I agree. I also like a good Latakia. De Kralingse LatakiaAO 1860 is a good choice for me. It is fairly strong but has that smokey hit of latakia without being at all overpowering or having any real additives. Very pleasant.
I started out with plain like @stogie the 1860 was one of my first purchases along with taxi red and bernard aecht alt schmalzler then hit the english snuff plains.I had just tried 6 photo natural; nice but boring. It is easier to say what I don’t like and that is perfumed snuff; smells like old lady or teen spirit. I am not medicated enthusiastic,but it does have it’s place. I enjoy scented snuff as long as it not cloying with scent. I do like F&T high dry toast but that the first toast I had. Man this is a tough one why did I think I could nail one down? I will end with I have not found it as yet.
yeah it took years for me to have the revelation that unscented is my favorite type.
So far I am really preferring the heavy scented or perfumed snuffs. I like Indian snuffs like Ganga & Kamal and English snuffs like Jockey Club. I also like medicated ones. I keep trying plain snuffs, but they just don’t do it for me like the scented ones. I have concluded though, that I really dislike fruity snuffs (Ozona raspberry was way too sweet for me) the exception being Poschls Apricot. However, i realise over time this may change, as i have not been snuffing very long.
it does change I used to find plain snuffs to be boring and why bother. Now I can pick up more naunces in them then I could in the past. I do also really like perfumed snuffs too.
Like basement_shaman has alluded to there is also a WONDERFUL world of toasts out there. In fact a great way to get a fairly rounded exposure to them is to go to Mr. Snuff and check out the toast bundle. Well worth it in my book.
Now I have a stupid question. I don’t have a clue how to get the highlighted @basement_shaman or anyone else for that matter onto a comment. Just a fogie I guess. Help!
Oh my gollie…it just happened. Coolness. Tried before but did not seem to work, probably just messed up. Thanks for patience.
My preference is plain or lightly scented snuffs for my all day use. Toque quit, Natural, 6 photo natural, Or a good toast. I haven’t tried the Wilson’s natural but I’m sure it’s a future bulk purchase. That said, I adore SPs and always have one with me. I’m not fond of perfumed or florals Or fruity snuffs. I don’t care for most scotches either although that’s what I started With. Menthol is not my friend, But I will have the occasional pinch of O&G.
Thanks everyone it’s very interesting to read I hope more people add to this thread.
I started out with W.E. Garrett Sweet Scotch Snuff and thus have a big place in my heart for scotches of all types. I just started getting into Toasts and have also found them quite enjoyable. However, ever since I put F&T Patchouli in my schnauz, thus I get the most enjoyment out of heavily scented snuffs. i.e. I find myself drawn to my 6 Photos whenever I take a peek in my snuff drawer.
With most types of tobacco I favor the unflavoreds, but there are so many wonderfully scented snuffs out there that I can’t resist. I feel the need to have as many snuff-styles as possible represented in my repotiore (sp?), then to attempt to find my faves of each style. Is that a cop-out with the question? Simply can’t decide yet…
Pretty much anything medium/coarse, moist, and strong in the nicotine is my favorite. I love the ease of snuffing, combined w/the amount you can get up there, combined w/ the ease of clearing.
My favourite style is SP snuff. I enjoy it all day. Having that said I like it to - now and than - also take a pinch sometimes of stronger flavoured snuff. But always I come back to SP. I think it is round about 90 % SP and 10 & other snuffs.
My favorite style of snuff is Toast.
My favorite Toast would be Whiskey & Honey followed by Toque Natural Toast.
I prefer plainer snuffs over all and Quit and Grunt are frequently in my rotation.
I do also enjoy an SP on occasion. My favorite being Wilson’s Irish Toast #20.
There are very few floral snuffs I care for and no perfumed ones.
I prefer highly fragant and long lasting snuffs so if I have to choose only one they will be Schmalzlers .
On the other side lately I find that I´m carrying SP´s (Grand Cairo, yummieee! ) nearly as much as Schmalzlers, maybe my taste is maturing slowly…
Its got to be SP for me with Toque SP Extra and WoS Best SP leading the charge
Hey @FlippinBird sounds like you have pretty eclectic and broad tastes.
@stogie Well I for one love all snuffs, haven’t came across one I didn’t enjoy! Some I thought “meh” but they soon grow on me. My nose doesn’t discriminate!
I did not try many kinds yet but I think the Indian kinds of snuff are growing on me and pretty sure my next order will include many to try out.
