Hey guys, Wow, It is a really incredible feeling to hold 400 grams of Toque in a plastic bag in your hand. Then to pinch from a really big bag fresh from the factory. I am in snuff heaven! It take only a few days to get my package from Toque and shipping was free. Has anyone had the experience?
I’ve bought a couple 100g bags from Toque but never 400g. It is a pretty funny feeling when I fill small tins of Stoker’s from the 2 pound tub. I feel like a kid at th beach with a bucket of sand. I usually end up with snuff dust all over my hands and desk.
I haven’t gotten any bulk Toque yet, but will be getting a 100g bag tomorrow. I did get 400g of McChrystal’s Clove a while back, but it came in tubs, not a bag. I agree that really fresh snuff is the best. After the Toque I want to get some bulk Wilson’s.
I was considering buying some bulk bags of Toque on my next order. Do you guys keep it in the freezer between fillups?
I just received two 50g tubs from Toque - T&M and Bourbon. I just wanted to heap it up on the table and do a ‘Tony Montana’!
I usually order 1 or 2 bulk bags with each toque order. I have these glass jars with airtight seals that I store them in, they stay fresh forever. Great way to purchase your favorites, those bulk bags go a long way.
tony montana thats nothing compared to the intro to the movie doa 2.
Tony Montana, I like that.
Ahh…The freshness of Toque out of the bulk bags. How do you go back to tins??
Mc Chrystal’s Original and Genuine, i ll buy a 200grams tub of that…
Assuming that the large-quantity containers and smaller-quantity tins are filled from the same production lot at the same time, I don’t see why one would be better than the other aside from the quantity pricing advantage. And the last unopened 10g tin of a case (dozen) would, I’d think, be fresher than the last 10g of a 120g container. When you buy a carton of cigarettes, you don’t get 200 singles…you get 10 sealed packs of 20 to maintain the freshness of each pack.
I think this is a holdover from the experiences with big producers like Wilsons and Gawith. Their bulk seems to be fresher than their tins and the large tins are fresher than their small tins. Not sure why, but that’s what most people say. With Roderick I think he moves most of his stock quickly and alot of it straight to the customer (as opposed to the big firms who are wholesaleing most of their snuff) and his tins, small and large, are fresh as can be. In fact they are sometimes so fresh people who don’t know snuff think it’s gone off, Heaven forfend because of the ammonia.
Yep, never had a Toque dud. They all seem so fresh. I think it has to do with the tins that he uses. I love those darn things.
I hear you guys, but the reality is the snuff in the bulk bags has a richer flavor and are less dry. Maybe it is because they are not packed tightly and pressed in the can. I have to say digging in the middle of a 200 gram bag of snuff is a rewarding experience. I have never had a dud either with Toque in any size, but this bulk is different somehow. You should try some and let me know what you think. FYI: Never had bulks from any other manufacturer and I don’t care about the few cents I am saving. It was to have more on hand since I am going through it.
I have always found the 10g Toque tins I have bought from both Toque and Snuff Store to be as fresh as a daisy and moist. I’m getting into the Quit at the moment, probably because of the nicotine, so may order that one in bulk.
