Black Joe is the only coffee scented snuff I’ve had yet that actually smells like coffee. I like the burn, too.
I got mine in the mail yesterday and have sampled it a few times since then. The coffee flavor is good but initially the pungency reminds me of a coffee liqueur. The throat irritation it gives me isn’t as bad as the throat irritation from grunt and the flavor might change as the snuff breathes some more. It was packed into a vacuum tin so it still has some of the ammonia in it.
I’m pleased with Black Joe. Strong nic, coffee/chocolate tones, sticks with you for a good while. Thick semi-moist snuff.
I may be strange, but I find that I enjoy the FUBAR line less and less the more I use them. It’s sad too. it was my hands-down favorite snuff and now I can hardly stand any of them. I think it’s the drip honestly. At first it didn’t bother me that it was acrid and nasty, now it bothers me enough to not take it in the first place. That stuff was my primary intake for a while, now I’m more into Toque and F&T snuffs. I think I have 600g+ sitting around too.
Send them to me. I will properly dispose of them.
To me the scent is similar to the one used on Cafe 11 but on the Fubar base, I hope the consistency down the line is not a problem as it is with some of their other snuffs. I like it so far
I’ve tried a few coffee snuffs in the past and they really didn’t do much for me. Black Joe seems to hit the mark at the moment. We’ll see as time moves on.
I just tried a couple pinches this morning with my coffee. After first crack of the tin, the ammonia scent was definitely there. A bit of menthol as well. It did burn a bit, which I enjoy. The coffee is there and its subtle at first. Then gets stronger as it warms in the nose. Heightens the taste and smell of my coffee and was very pleasant. A few minutes after blow out, I get a sense of barnyard or a light swiss chocolate. Almost like the lingering scent of dholakia swiss. Migght just be mynosr this morning. I really enjoyed it though. Going back for more!
I have been using this for over a month now and I like it a lot. At first the drip was a bit much but either I got used to it or altered my technique when snuffing this. I like SG Black Coffee also but I find the Fubar to be my prefered coffee snuff ATM. No doubt that will change at some point as it seems to do all the time.
To take away from my comment above. The menthol note I was getting is not there. It must have been the ghost of kailash that I had earlier that day.
That’s my chief complain about any of the Dholakia base snuffs. Fubar and Qsnuff particularly have some of the most acrid, unpleasant drip I have ever encountered. I still enjoy them, but it has to be a small pinch here and a small pinch there. For anything of quantity I have to use a different brand.
@dogwalla I am the total opposite. I’ve never had Qsnuff, but I really like the drip on this black Joe and the other FUBAR drips don’t bother me.
My Fugazi has mellowed a bit since the tine is about half full and the remaining snuff can breathe. It’s a solid coffee snuff with quite a burn. Kinda like drinking hot coffee.
It’s only been a few days but the ammonia has pretty much dissipated. And yes I get more coffee notes every time I crack the tin. I really like this stuff. Planning a bulk order soon and this is on the list.
A mentholated Coffee snuff? And it is part of the FUBAR line. Damn I need to try this one! Next order from Mr. Snuff I need to get this stuff. Love FUBAR and this sounds extremely alluring.
