Well here’s a snuff that surprised me…it came as a freebie with my Abraxas order (thanks Dave!), and I have to admit I would probably never have chosen this one on name or description, but I’ve really enjoyed winding down my day with it. I’m in bed, last pinch taken over an hour ago, and I still have a rich Apricot aroma in my nose, very soporific and gently pleasant in a way few other snuffs I’ve come across are. I’m still not a big tapbox fan (*tap tap* “hmm, nothing” *tap tap* “still nothing” *tap tap* “okay, now I have 3g of snuff all over the back of my hand/trousers/furniture”), but I can live with it if the contents are this delicious.
I forgot the code to get the stuff >_<
I left it for you in a profile comment, enjoy!
I think you can buy foil packets of that stuff on mr. snuff, if you want an alternative to tappers.
That’s good news @matsnuffs, I’m a big fan of the snuff but don’t want the fiddly tapbox dispensing business or the drying out probs that seem to come with tapboxes…I’ll order a foil pack when this one is gone and store it in a box.
@Jinder, I love Gawith Apricot. I do not love the tap boxes but rest assured, it won’t dry out because it’s a Poschl. I have a tin in use now which has been opened more than a year ago and it’s still “fresh”. It disappeared for a while and I only found it about a month ago. I use GA every day of my life.
That’s really good to know, @pieterclaassen, it’s a great snuff and one I worried about drying out. I love that long, creamy Apricot aroma that seems to hang around forever…I went to sleep with it still fresh in my nose last night, even after blowing twice and having a hot shower. Lovely.
@Jinder - Glad you like it, I saw on the other thread you’d received it in a recent order. You’re certainly right that it has a long lasting effect - me and a few others mention it in the ‘Longest Lasting, Most Intense Fragrance’ thread. I reviewed it for Snuffhouse a little while back, too.
I’ve got the code for this free snuff too.Actually I use Mc Crystals abricot one,very sweeten and sour…A pleasure equaly.
I’m a big fan of the Gawith Apricot too, waiting anxiously for my order to come in. Toque Apricot is also a firm favorite.
It’s no wonder the Gawith Apricot is the bestseller on Mr. Snuff. Its beginner friendly but its flavor appeals to just about all snuffers. I intend to get a bulk shipment of it with my next order. I’m getting my classmates all hooked on snuff and this is the one that is doing it.
I for one was disappointed by Gawith Apricot, where they get apricot from I have no idea, just another over mentholated snuff as far as I’m concerned. McC Apricot is the best apricot snuff imo.
@n9inchnails: Agreed. If they changed the name and advertised it merely as a medicated snuff, I would think it was just fine. But calling it “apricot” seems more than a little misleading. There’s hardly any fruit scent.
Seriously? For me, the fruit scent of Gawith Apricot is perfectly clear. I certainly wouldn’t call it “over mentholated”, if anything the menthol level is quite low compared to many other snuffs I take… I suppose it depends on one’s taste and menthol tolerance.
Seriously. Maybe I just got a box that sat on a shelf too long, but I don’t detect much fruit at all. Certainly not enough to be identified as apricot.
The menthol is certainly there, but I would say the apricot is the dominant scent.
I enjoy it. A nice menthol feel at first then fruit scent
Is this the one made by Poschl under license in the little black tin? If it is I like it, one of the first snuffs I tried in the late 70s and one of the few Poschls I use on any regular basis. The Toque version is one of only three Toques I can’t stand; the others being absinthe and chocolate, althpough on an objective level I think they are very good.
I remember quite a few months ago, Gawith Apricot was less fruity. The Gawith Apricot i bought last week, was very fruity and really good.
This was also my first one - and I still love it. Really this and Gletcher Prise from Poschl I like the most, rest is crap
