Anyone know of a good gingerbread snuff?

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> If not I think Molens would be the perfect mill to make it. Something along the lines of their new Mettaijer Maybe we could petition Jaap to give it a try if there is enough interest

I’ve written this here a few times, but if you mix Toque Absinthe and Toque Coke, you get a perfect gingerbread. You just need to get the ratios right

@sniffs: If there is enough interest I’ll try to find a good recipe for it. Jaap Bes.

Jaap thank you!

Every time I enjoy the sample of Mettaijer and Musino I keep thinking how good a gingerbread snuff would be.

I have really taken to the Mettaijer (in fact if Mr Snuff does not get some soon I will just place an order directly with you).

 

Anyway, thanks for all the great snuff

 

Now come on snuffhouse its Christmas…time to deck the halls and sniff the gingerbread…let Jaap know your in

I’m interested!

Molens Gingerbread? Sounds good to me.

Now we’re talking…keep em coming By my count we already have 1/3 of the entire snuff taking world on board with this Good start

I found two recipes. The English one contains Ginger powder, Orange peelings, Worcester sauce and molasse sirup. The American way contains Ginger powder, Ginger flakes, Ginger sirup and Cloves powder and molasse sirup. So take your pick and let me know. Jaap Bes.

I love cloves, so if my vote counts, I’m for the American one

@snuffmiller: I’m impressed you found a recipe so quickly! Two, at that. I vote for the American one, although Worcester (shire?) sauce and orange peel in a gingerbread sounds very good.

Why did that double post?

I vote for the English recipe

I’d say the English recipe, if a vegetarian Worcester sauce was used.

Worchestershire sauce one for me.

Worcester, I don’t know about that. I like the american recipe with what sounds like fresh ginger.

It’s a very difficult choice, but I think the English recipe would have more of a gingerbread smell. The American one looks like it’d smell more like candied ginger with an added kick (which would not be bad at all). By the way Jaap, do you know the plant fenugreek? Its seeds (commonly used as a spice, specially in Asia) have a delicious maple syrup-like smell, so you might find them useful in making the snuff.

Yea I vote for the English. I agree with Menma that the American recipe might smell like ginger candy or just sweet ginger snuff.

AMERICAN

American. Not sure about the Worchestershire sauce.

English. The Worcester sauce has me intrigued.

What is Worcester sauce? And if there is a vegetarian or non-vegetarian. Then please the vegetarian. @Jaap : I think it’s great from you to go with the wishes of the people. Thank you

Just a note on pronunciation and spelling: I was born in the city of Worcester and it is commonly pronounced as “Wuh-ster” although in the Queens English it would probably be more similar to as written “Worce-ter”. The city itself is in the county of Worcestershire, pronounced “Wuh-ster-shire”. Hope this helps On topic, my vote is for the English version as it sounds like a more complex flavouring, the American recipe sounds like just another sweet flavour snuff.

@Tashli: It depends on your definition of vegetarian. Worchestershire sauce has no meat in it, but it does have a touch of anchovies. You wouldn’t know by tasting it

@Menma: I know the fenugreek, some of the cheesemakers in Holland use it in the cheese. @ all: It looks like a draw that means I’ll try to make an English G and an American G. Keep you informed about the progress. Jaap Bes.

Hoorah for a tie and two new snuffs.

Yeah, more snuff is always better, specially if it’s made by someone like Jaap.

@Nachman: My definition of vegetarian include fish and all other living creatures. (But I have to admit that I’m not a vegetarian… )

Huraaaay for Jaap!!!

Lol then why the vegetarian concern

Well count me in! I’m up for the American recipe but would try either or both, frankly.

Sending positive snus making vibes your way Jaap

@Snifs: Thank you. The first step will be to prepare the real Gingerbread, to find out the flavour. I’ll keep you all posted on the progress

english darn it.

@Jaap Thanks bro…I can’t wait to try it!!! @ bob I think he is doing a little of both

Tried to prepare my first gingerbread. If you use half the amount, you should reduce the baking time to 1/2. Looked a little bit like charcoal. Hope the second time I’ll do better! Jaap Bes

In golf they call that a mulligan :>) Merry Christmas

Any word or update?

@Snifs:I again tried the English recipe for gingerbread. This time it came out the oven all right. I am thinking how to transform the baking flavour to the snuff, should consult my flavour supplier. Now I’ll try to bake the American version and see what the result is. Jaap Bes.

Thanks Jaap Sounds good!!! Keep us posted!

Made gingerbread the American way today. I find it much sweeter than the English type, despite the addition of cinnamon and cloves the ginger is pretty overwhelming. And what I said before I have to find the right baking flavour. Jaap Bes.

Quiet please…The Master is at work!!! Thanks for all the hard work…keep us posted on the progress

@Snifs: Just put the master at work. I explained what I wanted to our flavour expert and he is now trying to brew something which could be used. Jaap Bes.

That sound great…sending good vibes his way

Man we must be getting closer…I can almost smell it from here!!! Keep us posted Jaap :>)

thnx for the bump Snifs! I had missed this thread…sounds wonderful!! Big Ups to Mr. Jaap for being adventurous…can’t wait to try the finished products!!

Got a sample of Gingerbread base flavour today. Start experimenting next week. Is there preference for a fine or a little more coarse snuff? Let me know. Jaap Bes.

Just my .02, but i think gingerbread would be wonderful a more on the course side n maybe a tad moist. Kind of fluffy, if that makes sense. Bless you Jaap!

Jaap that is fantastic. Thank you so much for doing this!!! Now as far as grind goes I’d say about the grind and moisture of Mettaijer

Haha…i feel like a dummy here, but could u describe that one Snifs?

I’m with @FischTix on that one, fluffy and a bit moist sounds wonderful. I can’t wait to get my hands of both of these wonderful creations. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

I would also agree that fluffy and moist sounds like a very option

Yes, I would like it like Bon Bon’s grind. Jaap, have you chosen a base tobacco? Is this the first original De Kralingse snuff (not a re-creation)? This is getting exciting now!

Mettaijer is a new snuff by Molens and it is absolutly fantastic The gring and moisture are close to Bon Bon just a slight bit less on both accounts. Regardless, it is still course and moist but not so much so that it has trouble staying in the nose. I do not see a gingerbread snuff having a fine grind. But I think Musuno is a bit too course for it. I really think the moisture and gring of Mettaijer will be perfect for this snuff

Cool Snifs…thank you for the info. And my wife thanks you for tempting me into a new snuff that i MUST try…lol!

FT Mettaijer is not in stores yet but you can get it from the Molens shop. http://www.snuifmolens.nl/winkel/winkel\\_en.html As soon as the Gingerbread is ready I will be putting an order for both. As far as the scent goes Mettaijer is hard to describe. It almost has a slight molasses flavor mixed with a Virginia base. It is not a sweet snuff per say nor does it resemble American snuffs and chews that use molasses. It makes me think of the smell of bread in the toaster oven with some brown sugar on it…and even that is not exact. The grind is not as course as some of the Molen’s snuffs I’ve had, but when compared to an HDT or even a typical Toque it is definitely not a fine grind. I would say it is closer to Prins Regent or Macuba in grind…………Also the moisture adds to the overall feel of it being coarse (fluffy). One more thing………………when you try to explain to Mama about this next snuff order………….just remember………….keep my name out your mouth :>)

Oh yessiree thank ya much for the link…i have some Molens in my Mr. Snuff cart, but now boy oh boy do I have some snuff to order!!! Oh, and who are you again!!!

Gingerbread Schmalzler! MMMM.

I concur with moist and fluffy.

O.K. the Mettaijer type it will be. @Xander: I’ll use the Virginia as the base tobacco, as I think the Latakia Ao 1860 will be to overwhelming. It is not the first original, because the first was A/P as I was asked to produce something like the German Fichtenadel snuff. Jaap Bes.

This sounds sooo good!!! I fully agree with Virginia as the base I love AO and AP but think the base would be too overwhelming

Thanks to “Ole What’s His Name” above me I had a wonderful time learning all about Molens last night, and now I’m even more excited about this new snuff! Thanks again Snifs, and also to the designer of the site. That was an incredibly interesting read. I must have spent about an hour there!

Latest update. I’ve a limited amount of three types of Gingerbread snuff now and like to try them out with about 10 persons. If you like to participate in the trial panel sent me your postal address through: info@snuifmolens.nl Jaap Bes.

Email sent sir…I really hope I make the list! REALLY looking forward to trying these snuffs. Keep up the great work!

O baby!!! Count me in! I just sent my email!! BTW…what the hell is that smell…seems some stinky fish got his email in ahead of me :-0

Hahaha…ya gotta be quick ole dog!!!

I hope I am not post 10th.

Guys Jaap has offered to let 10 people to try out the new snuff How is this thread not filling up???!!!

I sent an email! hopefully I am one of the lucky ones…

Same here, hope I can participate in the trial. I’ve been following the thread because Molens makes great snuff and a gingerbread snuff just sounds delicious.

I emailed yesterday in secret, possibly just in front of Xander and FT. I’ve been following Jaaps progress, too…I’m sure it’s going to be a very good snuff, if not an award-winner.

The testpanel is complete. In short time I’ll sent you the samples. Jaap Bes.

Wohooo I can’t wait!!! that is…assuming I made the list…otherwise, I’ll have to wait Regardless…a big BIG thanks to Jaap for putting this together…I know it is going to be fantastic.

The samples were sent today. According to TNT they should arrive between 3 to 6 days. Jaap Bes.

Nice thing to do Jaap. I’m sure I will be a customer for whatever you end up producing.

I can’t wait for the ones I ordered from Mr. Snuff get here…and I hope I made the list. If not, I will definitely be buying some if they end up in production…they sound delicious!!!

My A/P, Latakia 1860, Prins Regent, and Bon Bon arrived today, and I must say that these are fine snuffs indeed!! Every bit as good as Snifs described and more! I do believe that I’ve found my new favorite snuff…great job Mr. Jaap, and thank you for your hard work and devotion to quality snuff!!!

ddavelarsen, I’m like you. I’m a really big fan of Jaap, and I’m totally sure I’ll buy anything he makes. I hope every snuff lover ends up realising how good of a snuffmaker he is (though I guess it’s unavoidable, so I don’t have to worry about it lol). Oh, I sent him a message too. It would be great if I could try the Gingerbread snuff before its official release, but, well, I’ll buy it anyways as soon as I can, so I don’t really mind if can’t try it ahead of time. The fact that it exists is good enough for me (and even though I couldn’t help in choosing the grind, the result ended up being exactly what I wanted, so it’s even better LOL).

Gingerbread snuff just sounds so tasty! I can’t wait to get my fingers into some and give it a great big sniff. I love the Molen’s snuffs I have and can’t wait to try some more. I haven’t tried them all by any means but I know there’s more in my future… I think my current favorite is Pompadour, the clove is just right and the grind is so light and free it fills my capacity just right. Perfect snuff.

I received my samples of Jaap’s gingerbread ( three small samples marked A,B,C). I’m getting right on my testing and will humbly get some results to your site, Jaap. Thankyou very MUCH, buddy! It all smells nice right out of the envelope…

I have to say these samples of Kralingse snuff is the best I’ve had from Jaap, as far as texture (similar to a moist scotch) and complex in their scents. Sample A: This sample had a sweet molasses and was the heaviest on the spice scent right out of the bag. I had a nice lasting tingling from the sniff. Sample B: Slightly the coursest of the three, though still fine, this one smelled the sweetest and had a slight yeast smell to it that came and went for a couple minutes. Sample C: This sample still had the sweet cookie smell going for it, but had a nice heavy dose of YEAST ! Excellent! B and C are definitely favorites, leaning toward B. A and C where the most clumped, moist while B was a hair courser. Best: B Best gingerbread:C I can only say this, whichever one is chosen by Jaap, it WILL be an award winner…this grind and scent of all three is out of the ordinary…there is NO snuff like this on the market right now. I’m sure others with better trained noses can do a better job than me and I look forward to what others think… but hats off to you Jaap Bes!

@Bart: you may corrupt the outcome of the vote, but I read that anyway. Then I ran to my mailbox which had no snuff in it

I just got my gingerbread snuff samples in the mail today but haven’t had a chance to try them, I think I’ll spent all day tomorrow with them to give Jaap a good review of them. Thanks Jaap!

Lucky guys and your amazing snuff =(

I got my samples. They are very enjoyable, but one really stands out for me. This is not going to be an easy job, but it’ll be fun! I want to give them all a fair shot, so I will also be spending all night and tomorrow with the the snuffs. I will report to your email address my results tomorrow evening. Thanks again for letting me participate.

Got mine today…I’ll spend some time with them and make my report. So far they are all very good and each one distinct

I got my samples in the mail today as well…and I second sniffs comment!! Thank you very much Jaap! I’ll start my morning out with a fresh nose, and get my review to ya early tomorrow.

I got mine today as well! I’m excited to dig in! I will also evaluate these tomorrow with a fresh nose, like Fisch said. Thanks, Jaap. I’m happy to be a part of your trial.

Yea good luck getting those evaluations out in just a few sniffs For me…with every sniff from each sample I am convinced “This one is definitely it” That is right up to my next sniff from the next sample… at which time I am certain “No it’s this one for sure” And so it goes on and on and on a true Kalo Kakas All I will say for now is that each one is distinct in its own right and very very good.

I’m worried now how we’re going to recommend one over the other! Jaap is going to have a hard decision to make, huh? Maybe he’ll just produce them all and be a hero three times over!

I just sent my report to Jaap, I must say that my thoughts on the flavours are very similar to Barts, except my favourite is definately C.

I sent mine to Jaap as well, and my favorite was A…lol!!!

It is possible one of us received the placebo…sounds like it may have been Fisch.

Just got mine. I thought I might not have made the cutoff for the test panel, since you lot all had yours already. Need to get analyzing now.

@Bart LOL! I can assure youre you, after a morning of heavy snuffing, this definately has nicotine in it!! Poor Jaap is going to end up with so many different favorites, he’s just gonna have to send all three to production!!

Its like Jaap sent me Holandse Macuba And Prins And said pick one…the others go to the gallow I mean…how do you live with yourself after that? I’ve narrowed it down to two I spend another day and make my report

I missed out on the test samples but I’ll probably buy this in bulk if it goes into production. I can’t wait!

@HoundDog well, I don’t know, this snuff is not good

Yes, this snuff really is not good. IT’S FUCKING AMAZING!!!

I hope you guys know what the hell you are doing!

I received the samples last Wednesday, and I sent Jaap the finished review the next day (I couldn’t analyse them properly in a single day). I also think the’re fucking amazing, and that the best would be being able to buy the three of them (though I have a favourite one), but I guess selling a new product is not that easy, and it’d be difficult for Jaap to make the three of them in big amounts (at least for now). Anyways, whatever he does, I’ll accept it (and buy it). By the way, I thought maybe people who couldn’t help in the trial would like to see the reviews. I won’t post mine now because I don’t want to influence the results, but it would be OK if we posted them after Jaap has got the opinion of everyone in the test panel. What do you think? Juxtaposer, do you mean we’re making everyone want to buy them in bulk? If it’s so, I’m glad lol

I agree…which ever sample Jaap finds suitable, it will be a success. I was really surprised most about the grind, very similar to the ‘major’ brands’ and nice for a change. (BTW, if you received the “Molens -Decoder- Ring” in your envelope, it was very easy to identify the ‘favorite’ among the three. If you were not given a Decoder Ring, you can look at the samples through an infared camera and see that the favorite gives off a higher temperature signature)

My favorite was A too, but they all had something to recommend them. Thanks for the samples Jaap! Can’t wait to see which you put into production.

Just sent my report to Jaap. When all the reports are in, I would love to see what everyone else thought.

Xander…what do ya think?

I’m keeping quiet, so as to not bias anyone else’s opinion. Also, I’m still going back and forth with them. I try not to snuff them too close to each other either so I don’t bias myself! I am getting closer to a decision though. I do like them all though!

Nearly all the reports arrived. A patern is emerging. A little more patience till all the results are received. Jaap Bes.

Step 1: pour batch A into batch B and gently fold in batch C Step 2: Send email to each panel member that their choice was selected for production

@Snifs: If the reports are not conclusive, I’ll might just do that!

@Snifs & snuffmiller, I’ve already done that and I’m happily snuffing away the best snuff I’ve had in a long time!!!

OK which one of you knuckle heads is taking foreeeeeeeeeeeeeever. Time to go to the tried and true elimination by paper/rock/scissors or mix em all together and choose D

@Snifs See the problem is that I hacked your system and changed your choice to ‘Q’ and that’s really throwing poor Jaap off!

Wait…you didn’t get sample Q…well what about T…you did get T didn’t you?

That’s not fair! I only got A, B, C and D! I didn’t know Jaap had been so busy making all these wonderful possibilities; no wonder people are having a hard time making a choice! I thought it was tough with just four…

I just got my sample today, sorry everyone for the delay! (blame Canada Post lol) But i know which one is my fave!

I’ve been sick the last couple days, so my senses are down at the moment. They all smell the same to me right now. I don’t want to submit my review incomplete. Or: We are experiencing technical dificulties, please stand by.

Dammit…I got A,B,C no D But…R,S,T, ASAP, PDQ, KISS…no wonder we can’t all agree!!!

Actually I revise my favorite…after finally giving in and mixing all three together…I am snuffing the PERFECT Gingerbread snuff!!

fish… that is sample D! It really is good!

QRT aposrophe S is pretty good too…but it’s bout neck n neck with MR2DUCKS!!!

LOL! @FischTix you trip me out bro. I’ve no freakin idea what you just said, but it made me laugh!

@ddavelarsem Funny thing is…I’m not quite sure myself!!! =)

I’m waiting for my new snuff box to arrive and then I’ll probably fill it with “sample D” LoL. I did tell Molens I was tempted to mix all 3 to make the ultimate gingerbread snuff when I sent them my review. In reality though, it probably wouldn’t be economical for them to first create 3 separate snuffs and then mix them altogether to create the finished product but…whuddooiknow?

@jbruckus: No problem. I have not finished yet, so the possibility for a Gingerbread D is still open! Jaap Bes.

Hello Testpanel, I’ve decided to go for the Gingerbread D (mixture of the three samples) A was the American type the gingerbreadbase enriched with cinnamon, clove and extra ginger. B was the gingerbread base C was the English type the gingerbread base enriched with Worcester sauce an Orange peels. For your interest I’ve added the table with results. A,B,C is the result of the question which sample do you prefer. A1,B1,C1 is the result of the question which sample resembles the gingerbread flavour the best I’ll let you know when the snuff is for sale. Jaap Bes.

That sounds great. I feel honored to have been a part of this test panel. Thank you for your fine snuffs, and continuing the hard work to make even more wonderful offerings. Hats off to Jaap!!!

Oops, I’m sorry I have not sent in my results. Today has been the first day in several days that I can smell again properly after my cold. I’ll send them along anyway to @snuffmiller tonight when I can spend a little more time with them.

Fantastic!!! Thanks Jaap…I can’t wait.

@Jaap Is it to early to place an order that includes the Gingerbread snuff or should I wait?

simmer down sparky!! you remind me of a dog that smells supper cookin’!!!

OK, Johnny come lately here: I like “B” best of all in both categories. “A” scored second place for best gingerbread and “C” scored second for best snuff. I’ll be happy with any of them though.

Here is my report First let me say that as time went on C really began to grow on me. Had I waited C would have been #2 in the Favorite list. After mixing them I think D is going to be fantastic and the way to go. I can’t wait…so shut up fish…before we feed ya to the cat :>) Anyway here is my report I. Favorites B-3 A-2 C-1.9 II. Gingerbread Scent I think C had the best Gingerbread flavor. I would have put this down as my favorite had the deeper notes been just a tad deeper and had the flavor been a bit longer lasting (this one seemed to linger less time in the nose than the other two samples III. Texture and humidity I really liked the texture of each sample. None of them were clumpy or too course and none of them were too fine or dry. I also thought the moisture was just right. There was a slight difference between the samples but all seemed to fall into the same general profile which I think is perfect for this blend. If I had to rate them by preference I would rank them as follows A-3 B-2 C-1

And D is #1 right…cuz I dang it said so!!! Besides, Snifs…I’m a slippery Fisch…that cat can’t catch me!! Unless he’s got peanut butter m&m’s I love those things!! Where the heck did that come from…Don’t mind me…I’m drinkin beers, snuffin’ and puffin’ on the hookah…anything I say can, and will be nonsense!!!

Smoking a hookah in the middle of Hartsville SC…isn’t that like putting curry on a Big Mack and calling it international cuisine.

Yessir…but round here we call it Le Big Mac!! And besides…I’m drinkin’ Walgreen’s house brew…how much sense does that make?! A Pharmacy actually has a ‘House’ brand of beer!!! Now, if that ain’t redneck, I don’t know what is!!!

Oh man I saw that in the store the other day when I was picking up some meds for a cold How is it?

I’d compare it to PBR…goes down real smooth, and doesn’t have that typical cheap beer taste. For the price…$2.99 a sixer, you can’t beat it!

@Jaap, you are a wise man! “D” it will be.

D sounds great to me too! Thanks for your hard work Jaap, and for opening this up for our comments!

Any update on this?

@Snifs: The Gingerbread (D) snuff will be on the market within a fortnight. Jaap Bes.

@snuffmiller Huzzah to you sir, that sounds great!!! @Snifs Great job at gettin this ball rollin, bud! i can’t wait to get me a 100 grammer of gingerbread!!!

Yeehaw! Gingerbread banzai! It’s like Christmas again. Thank you very much, Jaap, Snifs and everyone who has helped!

Guys it is all Jaap (and that ain’t modesty…it’s the truth) Jaap thanks so much!!! This is just an all around fantastic snuff!!! A never be without…run back into the burning building to get it…swim the flood with one hand over your head so it don’t get wet…bulk order snuff if there has ever been one

lol @ snifs. Yes its really good snuff, really unique. Thanks again to Jaap for creating such a great snuff and for allowing all the community involvement in the project! Very impressive!

I received one of the first 10 boxes of gingerbread snuff today, courtesy of Jaap. AWESOME! Love the stuff and I’ll surely be ordering more. I almost hate to use it, maybe I should house it in a glass case and display in my living room… hahah Thanks So much, Jaap!!! You’re the man!!

I too received 12.5 more reasons to be thankful! Jaap, thank you so much This is aweson awesome snuff. @jbrucjus…I thought the same exact thing! But I knew I could not keep myself away from the snuff…So I have opted to save the letter instead. My bulk order is going in today!

I am so annoyed at having missed this thread! I guess I’ll just have to wait until my usual stockists get a shipment from Jaap to try this wonderful-sounding snuff. Any idea of when it will be commercially available?

@toffeenose you can always order it from Molens directly. Regardless, this is a must try IMHO

Debbie, in two weeks time.

Thanks Snifs & Snuff Head!

@ Snuffmiller: My compliments! You took a simple question on this forum and within weeks had a new custom made product in production. I am impressed and I must confess I’ve been waiting for this gingerbread snuff to come out before making an order through your website. I will be one of the first in line to buy this. It sounds wonderful.

I have to try this snuff. I want gingerbread girl scout cookies

MR DUCKS! MR KNOT! OSAR! CM WANGS? LIB! MR DUCKS!

Whoa, I received one of the first boxes today and, well, I can only say the final Gingerbread snuff is perfect. A balanced, relaxing and uplifting aroma that never fades, and the grind that cannot be better. Definitely a must-have snuff! I agree with jbruckus, Snifs and Bodger. Really, Jaap, you’re the best. I can’t thank you enough.

@Transistor: Huh?

Chris, I think anyone that did the trial test for the new gingerbread got one of the first samples of the final product. I just got one today. Very generous of Jaap. One thing I didn’t see others mention was that the clear plastic tins now have a very classy sticker, very similar to the tax sticker found on cigar boxes that seal his tins. And of couse the snuff is first class, too!

@Bart: Any of the Molens that are shipped from the Nederlands have the tax stamp on them, I like it as well!

Oh, ok…I never got a direct shipment. For a split second there, I thought me and Jaap were tight.

@Snifs It must be an SC thing…did the same exact…waited a few days until temptation took over, then busted into that bad boy , and of course saved the letter…lol!!!

In a couple of days the Gingerbread snuff will appear on the our website 12,5 grams €1,25; 100 grams € 9,00 + shipping costs . Ordering is already possible: info@snuifmolens.nl Jaap Bes.

Me too received 12.5g of this unique product! Thank you so much Jaap for being who you are, a geat guy with wonderful ideas. We love you!!!

I received my gift too. Man this is a great snuff! This will no doubt be a classic.

I am very appreciative as well Jaap! Both for being able to take part in the test panel and the complimentary box of Gingerbread. You are one of a kind sir!

@Snuffhead have you tried this one?

This is one I’m definitely going to try.

Apart from the uncomfortable burning drips it produces, this is a fantastc snuff

@ Xander, no not yet. I’m going to buy blind direct from Jaap’s mill. when I get further down on my stock of snuff.

The burn is one of my favorite things about Molens snuff!! It burns, blows out clean, and still leaves a lingering scent of wonderful snuffyness!!

Let me thank you publicly Jaap, for the complimentary box of this wonderful snuff! My brother also enjoyed it - to the extent a significant portion of my box left my home with him that day! LOL! You have made yet another convert. You’re a generous soul, and my heartfelt thanks for the gift.

@all: you’re welcome. @ddavelarsen: Glad to be of help! Jaap Bes

Cheers with a upright hand and mug of eggnog @snuffmiller. Just kidding on the eggnog but the Gingerbread is my official Christmas 2011 snuff! Why is it, that the longer I snuff, the better all of your creations are tasting to me? Thanks Jaap
And the Prins Regent is great too.

@hooked:Thanks for your kind words. We try to do our best.

Jaap Bes.

Just reviving this old forum thread. Gingerbread snuff has nearly become a classic now 3 years later. Wonderful to see the history of this snuff stored right on this site. I have a 100gr pot almost finished now and I must say it is nice snuff. This is one of the few snuffs in De Molens range with an english name. Since I’m Dutch I just call it “gembersnuif”. It reminds me of the gemberkoek (gingerbread) you could or still can buy in supermarkets and sometimes at the bakers. I know my late grandmother loved gemberkoek but the rest of the family didn’t so she ate the whole of it. As it is a snuff developed by this forum and Jaap Bes’ Foundation I’m interested if the present snuffhouse users also like it (and read the above history) and if any of the former testpanel guys if still active on the forum have the snuff in their draws?

@Salmiak I too have a 110g tub that is well on its way. Very good stuff/snuff that still does not let you forget that it is tobacco. It is easy to take and even easier to like…

The last time I ordered from Mr. Snuff, I bought the sampler pack of de Kralingse snuifs as well as the tubs of Prins Regent and Oranjsnuif. I can appreciate the quality in all of them that I have tried; that is, even if the scent wasn’t to my personal taste, I could tell that it was very well crafted and stunningly nuanced and realistic. I just might not personally care for the experience (choco, chocomint, Potpourri No.2). This gingerbread snuff is gingerbread, alright. Perfect example of what I’m writing about. One of my favorite foods is ginger snap cookies, and that’s what this snuff captures for me. Spot on gingery, lemony, sweet. However, it’s not easy to take for me–it burns my eyes and my sinuses, effectively anaesthetizing my face for a few seconds. Then I sneeze violently, blow my nose, and experience a delicious sweet flavor for about ten minutes. This is the first example of a snuff I’d like to take in bucketfuls, but can’t. But it’s quality stuff, lovingly made, with a great scent and afterglow. It’s worth your time. Who knows, if you’re plumbed differently than me it might become your next favorite!

My nose is drooling because I read this thread, is that normal? Am I gonna die?

@Rogue Seems perfectly normal to me. About 9 months ago I received a 3 ml bottle of a Gingerbread e-liquid that was …to die for. Unfortunately I couldn’t buy more. I’ve craved gingerbread ever since and I now have Gingerbread cookies on hand at all times. Glad you found this thread!

At this rate I’ll never save any money for retirement … now , off to add another snuff to the wishlist…

I love this snuff and the snuffmiller who mills it, our very own Jaap Bes. Yes, it does cause a violent sneeze fest. It will wear out a hankie or three during a session with it. Is it worth that ten minutes of pure Gingerbread/Gingersnap bliss? Hell. Yes. Repeatedly. Frequently. Often. La petite mort. When it comes to this wonderful snuff, I consider the sneezing fit that’s part of the experience nothing more or less than a wee nasal orgasm. With the added benefit of no apres ____ cigarette.

“Nasal orgasm” :)) First time I’ve heard that one; I may have to “borrow” it. This is definitely going on my wishlist that I just started after reading @The_HP’s comment. I’m just beginning to realize how many great snuff millers take part in Snuffhouse.org. What’s the best way for me to go about ordering this and other snuffs made by @Jaap Bes? I feel very fortunate for having stumbled upon Snuffhouse! Thanks to everyone for guiding a newbie along with your posts. I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately here on Snuffhouse. And many thanks to the owner of this forum! (I forget your name at the moment.) ::blushes:: Vaping’s great, but I thoroughly enjoy Snuff, and it’s *much* easier to do and maintain. I’m tickled pink about the variety of pleasures life has to offer. Yay!

@Valiant‌ Mr. Snuff carries all of Jaap’s snuff, except FCV, which I hope will be corrected soon. It’s under the Molens/De Kralingse brand. Good snuff.

Thank you, @Chefdanial for pointing me in the right direction again.

@Valiant I don’t know where you’re located but you can also order directly from the Mills in Rotterdam. www.snuifmolenswebshop.nl and find the british flag to have it in English. Some cheaper as Mr. Snuff too!

Hey @Salmiak, thank you for the information. I live in the USA and have not checked to see if I could order directly from there or not yet. But I do have a sister who lives in the Netherlands who I’m slowly but surely educating on the wonders of snuff. If need be I hope to have her place an order for me to have shipped to the USA. I also sent my sister the excellent thread here on Snuffhouse that shows many pictures of the mills. If I lived there you can bet I would be on the first ferry or train there in a heartbeat. Unfortunately I don’t think my sister shares my enthusiasm. But she does have a daughter who is almost 6 years old, just the right age to be introduced to and learn about the history of the mills, and how they make spices and snuff. Imho, I believe she would enjoy a trip there. Oh, how I wish I could be the one to take her there. [-O<

The miller will welcome anyone who likes or doesn’t like snuff much. It’s really a funny trip to make and pay the mill a visit. I live 20km from it and I come there, I think, once every month when I can. You fall in love with snuff immediatly if you haven’t already. But I’m almost sure you can also buy from the US, and have a package or envelope with small tins mailed to you. Just inform if you can. But I don’t think you can pay by credit card, only bank transfer. Or you can place the order and have your sister pick it up at the mills, and save the shipping costs. But do look at the opening times first!

The strange combo of mulling spice & turkey rhubarb (spice) gave me a gingerbready homeground :> In a base of 965 pipe baccy.
