I received my first order from @Roderick this week. I had previously tried Spanish Gem and was impressed enough (bolstered by reviews of other flavors here) that I jumped in with both nostrils, ordering 16 new flavors and another ounce of Spanish Gem. It took a week to get to mid-USA. I emailed Toque and Roderick answered my question within hours. I’ve hit about eight of the ones new to me and there isn’t a dog in the bunch. These snuffs are genius and it was a pleasure giving my custom to this business. I’ll be a repeat customer.
Hope you picked some of my favorite ones as they are the ones I would get again. Toast and marmalade, Chocolate, Whiskey and Honey (USA). @ don’t forget the cheese and bacon.
Toast and Marmalade is pretty awesome, but I passed on Cheese and Bacon…this time. I got the regular W&H, which is chocolate to my nose. It’s one of two I’m not sure about. I like it a lot, just not sure if it’s really W&H. The other is Coltsfoot. I get a lot of anise or fennel, which is a scent that’s not a personal favorite. Each of the other toast types has knocked my socks off. The SPs are going to give WoS a run for their money in my nose, also. I’ll continue to take Spanish Gem daily as long as I can get my hands on it.
Toque is awesome. Their base flour is very easy on my nose and their scents are quite good with a broad spectrum of flavors. You’d be hard pressed not to find something to love from their menu.
Another fan of Toque here, Shipping is lightning fast… Always fresh and great prices!
Yes Toque is awesome. Also Roderick uses natural scenting. The fruit snuffs are crazy good.
I’m sorry, but I don’t get it! I don’t know why Roderick is thanking you guys, when Roderick Wife is the reason behind Toque success!
Toque is my standard. While I have a few other than Toque that I keep in my stash- I am quite fond of SP Extra, Spanish Gem and Original. Great snuffs and in economy bags - a great value!
As a newbie snuffer who’s exploring all of the most critically acclaimed snuffs… I must say, I am gravitating towards my Torques more than any other, as an overall brand at least. It’s still early days, and I am seriously enjoying Viking Dark and F&T Old Paris (as well as many others)… but my 14 Torques just appear to be dominating my days. EDIT: @TerrapinFlyer: Your post reminded me that Spanish Gem was one of the few Toques in my stash which I hadn’t yet tried, and prompted me to do so… and wow… I can only hope that one day I’ll be able to articulate what a hedonistic experience it was… still is, and will be again and again, for the rest of this evening 
@Nulliverse, I can’t describe it either, but that only adds to its charm for me. The W&H is definitely what it says on the tin. I tried a larger tin and they are the same. I think I meant to get 25g Toque W&H and 10g Toque USA W&H. My nose still tells me it is chocolate at first, but I can pick out the honey and the whiskey does become apparent soon enough. The St Clements took me back to my youth the first time I tried it: model airplane glue, and not in bad way. Once that association was broken, it started to grow on me, beckoning me to snuff it. I’m scenting some Natural, too, and that’s working out well.
To me there seems to be a significant difference between Toque W&H and Toque USA W&H that I attribute to the presence of Rustica in the USA version.
I thoroughly enjoy both of them but my preference is definitely for the USA version.
Oh, and on my birthday, I congratulate @Roderick for nine years of snuff. Are any tenth anniversary special editions in the works?
@TerrapinFlyer and @chris, I have USA W&H on the way and am looking forward to comparing it to W&H. And speaking of being taken back to childhood, Violet really takes me back to childhood Parmaviolet binges! The aroma lingers forever, too.
Just got some toque rustica in the mail today… WOW! This stuff is like gold… Just mixed up my first concoction… Also first tin of pumpkin pie one today… Three more to go…
I think I must be one of the only people who prefers the original W&H. It just has this savoury flavour to it that I’ve never had anywhere else. Since I’m a weirdo and actually taste my snuff now and then, I can also say this is present in the mouth flavour. Pure rustica is definitely something you want to mix or at least go easy on, especially in the morning. USA W&H is good, I just find it’s not as complex in general. I prefer to mix 25-50% pure rustica with regular W&H depending on how often I can take snuff that day. Rustica is a lifesaver for long full-mask shifts.
@AlbertaSnuff - I prefer the regular version, too. I take the USA version for the hit, but regular “tastes” better for me.
Has anybody tried mixing Toques floral scents with each other, or even other snuff?
Edit: I ask, because 1) I detect multiple scents in Wild Berries, but cannot pin-point or isolate them (Violet possibly?), as they are blended so seamlessly together. Perhaps it will come with time / experience. 2) Of an evening, I love to mix Toque Lavender with a dash of WoS Jasmine, or WoS Clove. I’ve never been into aromatherapy, but this makes for a very relaxing / therapeutic experience. That said, I find all my Toques (particularly the florals) VERY moorish. Not in in a fiendish, compulsive, needy sorta way, mind. I just get greedy for it! Find it nigh on impossible to overshoot! In praise of Toque indeed.
Snuffed Lime Toast for the first few times today. Athough it’s early days (new toy syndrome and all), I can immediately tell that that it has the potential to be my favorite Toque toast. The delicate balance of nuttiness, mixed with such zingy citrus tang, makes it truly exquisite.
