yeah I agree. The apricot didn’t work either. Scotch straight is the definitely the best.
This thread got me all interested in mixing snuffs. I love Maccoboy, but it’s way too moist for my bullets so I mixed that with some Toque Natural which didn’t over-power the flavor and now it flows freely! You also can’t go wrong mixing Dholakia Swiss Chocolate with raspberry. 
BTW, Smiths were using that kind of bottle in 81, I got the same when I came to London on a college trip.
and my favourite mix is ‘Sweet Deborah’ (after the sweetest of wives): Equal parts of Fribourg’s HDT and WoS Best SP, to make up around 80% of the desired volume Royal George, French Carotte and Toque Raspberry menthol in equal parts to finish. A dash of port or cognac is a nice addition if you like either of those things, simply air until the moisture level is balanced out, being careful not to over dry.
The Thin Mint-2/3s Toque Chocolate and 1/3 Toque Peppermint.
I’ve blended equal parts Quit, W&H, SG and Natural to make a real strong tasting snuff.
I mixed a bit of medicated no. 99 into some Toque Raspberry menthol, as I just can’t detect any menthol, and no raspberry either. But now it has a cool menthol to it. Tom502
For the sake of members looking for recipes.
I’ve mixed equal parts of Toque Peppermint and Absinthe…excellent stuff
Inventing my own… Awa root, (kava kava) Piper Methysticum, is related to black pepper. It has a nice warm black pepper like aroma and wonderful medicinal properties. It does VERY well in the nose. Being a Pacific islander favorite for making an intoxicating drink Awa has quite a history of consumption. I’m glad to be a snuffer with an open mind. I am finding some fantastic tobacco alternatives/additives.
I’m working on a ginger/horseradish snuff, and a coffee snuff right now. We’ll see how these turn out.
leman, do you like pain?
Equal parts Toque W&H and Dholakia Swiss Chocolate is very nice.
Equal parts Grapefruit and Absinthe…can use it all day long!!!
A tip I got from Troutstroker; ground Allspice enhances the taste of any pure tobacco snuff like Toque Natural and Quit.
I was thinking earlier that a ginger/lemon snuff would go well with my ginger/lemon tea.
Equal parts G Smith & Son’s Cafe Royale mixed with their Cinnamon - lovely stuff, really clears your nose. I was told that menthol is an integral part of the Cinnamon flavouring, you can’t taste it but you can feel it. If that makes sense.
I was wondering about that, toffenose. I thought it smelled a bit mentholly, then I thought, it couldn’t possibly be. I like it though.
Some of my old favourites are: Tom Buck (or any SP) with a dash of Royal George SP/French Carotte, equal parts Toque Raspberry and Vanilla (2 to 3 parts) “Trifle” and, my mix of the moment - Best Sp with a couple of dashes of Sparrow Cool. I came on this by accident really as I had the remnants of a pound drum of WoS Best and just decided to experiment with the last 1/2 Oz or so, so just tipped the remains of a small tub of Sparrow in it; it really rocks, almost has an OandG quality. Mixing is a fine old tradition and really does yield some very unexpected results. At the moment I have a large glass peanut butter jar that is getting the last few grammes of any can of snuff I happen to be using. So far there’s US Scotchs, WoS, some Toque, Dholakia etc. I’m not trying any till its full. The thing is I’ve not recorded exactly whats going in there so if it turns out good it will be unrepeatable.
I was wondering if anyone ever “flavored” any plain American Scotchs? I was having the idea of mixing a little of a strong menthol, with some plain WE Garrett. Maybe a little touch of JIP!
