I know it is difficult to choose only one - but which brand do you find generally favourite? For me it is Bernard. Every Bernard I’ve tried was excellent - in moisture, grind and aroma. It is pure pleasure to sniff it. If I buy Bernard it is not a lottery like with Samuel Gawith or WoS - I know it will be great. The only two things about Bernard I do not like are high price and too small boxes

Sir Walter Scott’s Should the art using organs and the soul using body to create extraordinary snuffs And be sure that is difficult to be all satisfied

Abraxas, the only snuff manufacturer that I love ALL of his snuffs

At this point, early in my snuffing career: Six Photo.

Wilsons of Sharrow for me; wide range of quality snuffs and excellent online store to boot.

I’ve got to agree about the Bernard boxes. This is the company I most want to be able to buy their products in bulk.

It’s pretty tight but probably Samuel Gawith overall, though there’s no snuff company that doesn’t produce some snuff I like.

Samuel Gawith for me too. Their dark and coarse sorts are my favorites. Their fruity snuffs smell awfully artificial in my nose, though.

De Kralingse = Molens? Fairly new to brands. I have a gut feeling I will like Sir Walter Scott’s the best but, will mostly buy Torque due too variety. Cost I doubt will be an issue unlike my other habits.

De Kralingse = Molens?

Yes it does, its just easier to write Molens

I just didn’t know how molens came from de kralingse.

Molens is Dutch for windmill and they are the only windmill produced snuff in the world today and their website is http://www.snuifmolenswebshop.nl/ that’s where we get the name.

Actually, Molens de Kralingse is a shortcut too. Full name is: “Stichting De Kralingse snuif en specerijen compagnie De Ster en De Lelie”

Is Jaap Bes a shortcut from Jaap is the Best?

@all of you: It is disappointing but no short cut. Bes stands for berry in Dutch, But 4 hundred years ago it was Besz, which means son of Bes. And you should know that Bes was an Egyptian god who garded the bathroom! So beware. Jaap Bes.

Dholakia, as I am on a DW diet at the moment. Only abrupted by a couple of pinches of Bernard Alt Schmalzer. There is a white elephant on its way to me by mail so this may be changed up a bit…

I hope your not just standing there guarding the bathroom at the windmill Jaap :))

Tied between Toque and abraxas for me…but I also love me some Tom buck
