Hey everyone, Now that i have mastered scotches and enjoy them very much. I would like to know which brand of English snuffs would be a good example of what a true plain high dry toast is? Thanks, rridenour
Wilsons of Sharrow Irish High Toast No. 22. There is no better snuff, period.
F&T High Dry Toast gets most of my love. Toque Natural Toast is pretty good also. Honorable mention to Samuel Gawith Irish D Light.
I havent tried my small tin of toque natural yet, would you say it is as good as wilsons IHT no. 22?
@ Pilgrim1, I would say it’s better but for some reason #22 and I don’t get along to well. The Wilson’s is a bit more refined and complex, but the Toque is excellent.
I know I have loved every tin of toque I have tried so far. Very good snuff.
I agree with kjoerup, Wilson’s Irish Toast #22 is fantastic. But Toque’s Toasts are really nice also.
I love F&T HDT
F&T High Dry Toast is wonderful stuff although I cannot compare it to the others mentioned as I have not tried them yet.
For plain, F&T HDT, but for full flavor IHDT #20. Wilsons HDT #22 is also good, you should have them all, solid snuff purchase that would be.
Add my concurrence with Whalens’ post. I personally have a huge preference for the IDHT 20 but for sure, those 3 should all be sampled!
The OP is asking for examples of “true plain high dry toast” and Wilsons Irish D High Toast No20 definitely doesn’t come into that category I’d say.
@bradMajors Thank you
Seems like someone swears by each one. Seriously I’ve only tried the F&T and it’s very fucking awesome. I really need to try the others. From what I can tell it seems they are all really good and it’s just a matter of taste as to which is best.
Ef and Tee High Dry Toast for mee!
All of the above. and Samuel Gawith’s Irish D Light is very good too - extremely finely ground, though. I’ve heard that it is closer to the original F&T HDT recipe than the current F&T HDT.
I think WoS #22 is my fave toast.
Lets not forget Toque Whisky and Honey. Nice toast with just a touch of sweetness.
I received a sample from Nicotine Rush or Wilson’s Irish DH Toast #20, and I have to say that it is magnificent and very moreish - I just can’t keep it out of my nose! It is so easy to snuff, round in flavor - I think that I detect a chocolate/nut - like nuance under the bergamot. I don’t detect any smoke flavors like Toque Toast and Marmalade or F&T’s HDT. Someone please help: what is the dividing line between a toast and an SP? Is the IDHT #20 a toasted SP?
Gawith Hoggarth Irish D is a snuff that doesn’t get mentioned too often, but is a great alternative to the other more familiar toasts. It reminds me a lot of Stokers Plain, in that the tobacco flavour is purer and a little less toasted, but with some smokiness. A little tricky for the beginner though.
