so recently I have become tired of all the scotches available to me. I was walking down my little country road and the honeysuckle vines smell SO GOOD! So got to thinking maybe I can flavor some sweet snuff with the bloomed flowers. I put a hand full of flowers into a old washed out sourcream container with afew table spoons of honey bee sweet snuff. Its been around 3 hours and i can smell the flowers a bit. I will let everyone know how it turns out tomorrow, hopefully it will take in alot of the oils from the blooms and stink up my nose like the woods around my house YAY!!

Your not the first to do this. Other members have reported success with using flowers to infuse snuffs.

My trick is if you have some dried out English snuff, say in a Sneeze Box©. Crumple up some rose petals, white ones, of cause! (I’m a Yorkshireman) then lay them on top of the old snuff in a airtight container for a few days. But do check often, as mould soon starts. So take out the old petals replace, do this until you have a damp rose snuff.

Hmm. I wonder how well Honeysuckle would work? I’m still waiting for Roderick at Toque to create a Fresh Wedding Cake flavor.

@snuffeysouthcarolina, just be careful in choosing type of honeysuckle. Some of them are poisonous.

Ok well it worked very well. I did not realize how damp the snuff would be but that sweet scotch soaked it all up. I’m gonna let it sit for a couple days and dry so it is snuffable but it already is very flowery and sweet. @mrorz these are the same honeysuckle we lick the nectar from every summer and i haven’t died yet lol. @snuffhead I have the small irish roses in the corner of my porch that my great grandmother supposedly brought from ireland I will be trying them next since they are in full bloom right now. @bob yeah i have seen other people use roses and stuff could not find anything on honeysuckle wanted to use it becouse the have so much liquid in them. you can even tear off the tip of them and pull the stamen through and get the nectar out if you’ve never tried it do it its like heaven even if it is just a tiny drop.

When I was a kid we had honeysuckle everywhere so we used to suck the juice from the flowers. Glad I never grabbed a poison one. I still think Fresh Wedding Cake would make a good flavor, or Damp Oak Grove, or Freshly Milled Cedar. Maybe something that captures the aroma of a frontier trading post, call it Judge Roy Bean.

I want Toque Rainy Day so badly. And Toque Old Book.

@snuffeysouthcarolina, @Spyro: Licking a honeysuckle which can be found where I come from wold probably cause dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea and convulsions. But I guess that there’s a reason why it is called honeysuckle in English @Pike Mopers: It would be incredible to have Toque Rainy Day, as you say, or Toque AfterStorm.

Rainy Day sounds awesome. I get a whiff of an antique book store from F&T’s Old Paris, at least for my brain that’s the memory/emotion area that seems to fire up.

I agree @spyro. I also get that scent from the F&T Morocco. It must be the fact that these are really old recipes… they have that musky, antique scent…

Kind of off topic here but I recently opened a container of 4 month old snuff I had made from a Montecristo Cuban, or a Romeo Ey Julietta I cant remember. But anyways It sat in a cocoa and vanilla sauce for about 3 hours then it aged in an airtight container for a few months. It is DELICIOUS. It is the perfect cigar taste. ANYWAYS… What else would be a good scent for it? I want to make more, as costly as these cigars are.

Ever try liquid smoke? Or maybe Teriyaki sauce.

Unless this is inappropriate, I’d suggest a flavored brandy as a sauce. I’m partial to peach myself.

Haha, I waas thinking liquid hickory smoke, but I dont think thatd mix good with a cigar, the ones I have usually have a spicy cocoa smell. I dont do alcohol snuffs though. Im in recovery lol. I think a nice spiced rum, maybe appletons would be good. for someone else.

I remember my high school days when we would flavor Copenhagen with all sorts of whiskeys and liquors. Thats also when I learned the hard way to always keep the lid side towards my body when pocketing the can.

Someone taught me that if your cope dries out, add some blue gatorade. Its delish

@brandasaur … that sounds 22 ways of wrong right there with the gatorade … really? delish? cannot imagine it … but will take your word.

Hehe a little bit of sweet and a little bit of salty!

I never was successful at rehydrating Copenhagen. I always found it best to just mix it in with some fresh stuff. Never heard of the Gatorade method but I guess anything could work, even Coca Cola.

try some chew renew. @ http://chewrenew.com/

Hmm, I wonder what’s in that stuff? Is it mostly water or does it actually contain active ingredients that work. If that stuff works it might be a quick and lazy way to rehydrate nasal snuff too. Otherwise I’ll just stick to tossing a couple of apple slices into a ziplock baggie along with the tobacco and leave it in the fridge for a few days.

@Mark W Cool info. The ingredients make sense. It’s a water-oil emulsion with lecithin as the emulsifier. That’s almost identical to watered down hand lotion except the oils are different.

I got the 3 bottle deal, and I spray it on every tin of dip I get. I think it works well. I haven’t had to rehydrate anything with it yet. I imagine it might work on snuff, if you spray the lid of a smash box, and then close it with the snuff inside. That may be an easy way to rehydrate. I may do it with some of the dried out snuff I have and let you all know how it goes.

Thanks for sharing this Mark. I look forward to hearing how it works on your nasal snuffs.

If you have some fresh lemongrass in your garden, I can attest that putting a few leaves in a box with some O&G makes for a wonderfully citrus-y aroma - my recipe is one leaf (ripped so that the pieces are around 1" long) for every spoonful of O&G: give it a couple days to scent the snuff, shaking the box once in a while, and I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Hmm, wonder if that works with clover. Would be fun to mix up a batch of clover IHT for St. Patty’s day.

@spyro: I wouldn’t know, but it’s honestly unlikely that it’s as easy. Lemongrass’ aroma is really quite potent, while clover (at least around here) is a bit subdued, in my experience - at the very least it would take longer.
