Them toasts sound great can’t wait to buy some
Again, my thanks to all for the kind comments and interest in my little creations. If anyone here is interested I will happily trade for snuff and snuff accessories. I’m most interested in Abraxas and Sir Walter Scott, especially Thrice Brewed and Havana Toast, as well as the others.
Hi @ChefDaniel! Please send me your creation! I am very eager to try it. It sounds great. Just tell me what you want me to pay you and make sure you get a sizable profit for your time and effort!
@fredh Will do Doctor. I’m having a hell of a time figuring out what to charge for this snuff. Any input from ya’ll greatly appreciated. Make me an offer I can’t refuse and all that Godfather stuff One note on this baby. It’s a “living” snuff. It changes, develops and mutates over time. To me, that’s a good thing. Some may not agree. I take a small portion everyday for scientific & quality control protocols and each time something new shows up; some scents recede, some come forward, some go on hiatus completely. It’s a lot like a bowl of great pipe weed. As it progresses down the chimney, different aspects come and go, some fleet in and out and others disappear. I’m absolutely certain that it will change from batch to batch despite my obsessive note taking and formulation accuracy. If consistency is your focus, you might be disappointed. Also it has nothing in it other than some sea salt, so refrigeration is strongly suggested. All the other ingredients are the real, genuine deal and I make my own extracts from high proof grain alcohols, fruits, spices, etc. Hell, I even make my own coffee essential oil, which is a pain in the ass, but so well worth it. Cheers ya’ll
@chefdaniel, I have no doubt that your training in the culinary sciences serve you well. I’m sure that many of the skills and attitude that make a good chef are equally essential to becoming a good snuffmaker. I won’t put in an order yet, I think it would be a logistical pain to get to Indonesia, but I will follow reports on your progress with interest and respect.
Greetings All, Just back from holiday with the kids and gave Fleur de Café a toss and a taste. It will be ready to ship in ten days; Saturday July 18, 2014. Do you all think that $7.00 USD, plus shipping, for a ten gram pouch acceptable? Let me know. My paypal account is: bethpagefarms@gmail.com Thanks again for your interest. Daniel
I believe $7.00 + shipping for 10 grams is acceptable. It’d be money well and wisely spent. I’ve almost emptied my baggy… and that’s been pacing myself.
Agreed - sounds thoroughly reasonable! Let us know how much needs adding for shipping to the UK.
Wow. The day I get paid it’s ready. Were you planning this?
Lucky accident.
Hello All, Just did another test of the Fleur de Cafe and I think it will be ready right on time to ship July 15-18. I will also be sending each of you a generous sample of ‘Premiere’. It could be considered a precursor to Fleur de Cafe. Like a second cousin, twice removed. Premiere Snuff Dark Fired Green River Burley, Cyprian Latakia, Turkish Izmir, Black Cavendish, East Carolina Bright and sweet Red Virginia aged and matured under pressure with a strong brew made with Cruzan Blackstrap Rum, Chinese Lapsang Souchong tea, dried figs, dates, cherries, raisins, prunes and cranberries; The resulting sauce is liberally applied to the aged leaf, milled to a coarse grind creating a rich, moist Rappee style snuff
Thanks, chef; I was wondering what was for dessert.
Hello All. Update-FdC will go out Wednesday July 16. Postage to US is $2 and UK is $5. After several comments I re-engineered Premiere; a bit finer and drier, but still a tasty ‘older brother’ to FdC. Please make sure I have all your email addresses and how much you want and it’s off on Wednesday. Cheers and Thank you very much Daniel
Greetings Everyone’ If anyone is interested I would like to trade 2:1 (gram:gram) Fleur de Cafe or Premiere for SWS St. James Parish. As everyone here has figured out by now I am an unapologetic Snuff Slut, so the 50 gram tin is preferable, but I’ll take what I can get.
The Fleur de Café is a magnificent addition to the world of snuff. And it is made right here in the USA by the magician @chefdaniel who with this creation has shown that he is indeed a chef. Dark with just the right amount of moisture. Subtle yet complex flavors permeate without ever being intrusive. I find flavors (and accompanying enjoyment) vary depending on temperature, relative atmospheric humidity and wind. Smokey, fruity, salty and lets face it, just good. MUST be tried to appreciate. BRAVO…
