Fleur de Cafe - (Old Mill Artisan Snuff/Chef Daniel Richard)

“Fleur de Cafe” Old Mill Artisan Snuff “Stoved Red Virginia and Dark Fired Kentucky leaf aged with Dates, Cherries, Tahitian Vanilla Beans, Black Dutch Cocoa and Dark Jamaican Rum! coarsely milled and topped with concentrated Espresso and Lemon Peel.” What can i say for this poem? Very nice grind, excellent balance between Espresso -> Kentucky -> Red Virginia… Cherries, Vanilla, Cocoa and Rum plays in the background a wonderful quartetto when the Lemon Peel brings a radical silent and elegant touch to all the panorama… Pros: this blend is alive, exist and shine Cons: limited reserve A must have for my Wardrobe

Really i don’t know what Daniel planning to do… let we wait him to login for more info.

Ooh, that certainly sounds scrumptious!

Nikolaos, Many thanks for the kind words and great review. I’m honored. Fleur de Café is a labor of love and isn’t widely available, YET. It’s still conditioning in a cedar box in my “cellar” at 70 degrees F and 72% relative humidity. It hasn’t taken on the cedar scent, but time will tell. The base of fruit/rum/vanilla and the tobaccos are fully engaged, the espresso is getting a little richer and the “twist of lemon” is getting just a wee bit brighter. I’d say another month should do it. I can make some available to Snuffhouse members if I can get some help on shipping. Unfortunately I don’t have tins, so 10 gram zip bags will have to do until Old Mill is a commercial success. A man can dream, can’t he?

@lunecat‌ You’re on the list. IM me here for your contact info. Do you have a paypal account? Thank you.

@chefdaniel‌ Count me in also, again happy to take a 10g bag from you & pay via paypall if you have an account.

Thanks to all. Do you want some as-is or wait a few weeks for it to condition a bit longer? I doubt the cedar is going to influence the scent much more. Either way or both, I’m happy to do it.

I don’t believe that cedar can infiltrate more, i detect a very light note, almost unnoticed

This sounds very nice. Would very much like to try some out when ready.

Count me in too, please! PM follows…

I am happy to order now? But maybe I am just impatient !

Please add me to the list @chefdaniel

Add me as well. Would love to try it. I will pm you

Thanks to all who have shown interest in this little project of mine. I think it best to wait a week or two before sending it out, just to make sure. I have a few others in the same genre in different stages of development including an Olde English Toast, Pure Virginia Toast, another dried fruit concoction called “Premiere”. As soon as I can get the tobaccos I’m planning a Turkish Toast with some East Carolina Bright to give it some structure. That one will take some time. Thanks again and I will keep everyone informed on progress before sending it out. Cheers

All sounds great, I am sure we can help your dream move on some :slight_smile: Always room for another good Artisan Snuff mill!

merci beaucoup, will keep all of you in mind as these things evolve. I think they have a mind of their own. Which is a good thing since I misplaced mine several years ago. I didn’t lose it. I just can’t find it right now.

This sounds like pure bliss, count me in…

Sounds lovely to have a small snuff maker in the states. More love put into it then the focus on profits.

Daniel, sign me up! I’ll gladly PP you today for snuff tomorrow. :wink:

Your half way there to being an Artisan snuff producer already! =D>
