Hi fellow Suffhousiers I have just found out that Roderick will Customize any snuff you would like for the same price, the only down side is you have to order 400g minimum. I live in Australia so getting 400g into our country would be a tall and expensive task, I would like to get the Normal Spanish Gem (possibly slightly stronger in Nicotine) with a coarse grind with slightly more moisture, similar to a Viking Brown consistency.

I am looking for any fellow members who are interested and would like to get in on this order, I am looking for around 100 grams max at the moment due to tax concerns so am looking for snuffers who would be interested in getting some “Limited Edition” Snuff.

I have contacted Roderick and he has confirmed the price would be pretty much the same as the stock bulk.

Let me know in the comment section if you are looking for a new twist on one of the classic snuffs of the 21st century

Uncle Squinty reviews it https://youtu.be/KgyOcJJexFE

It sounds pretty amazing. I love Spanish Gem, but with the same complaints. I swear a couple years ago it was much more moist than it comes now.

I’m down for an 100-150grams for the same one(souped up Spanish Gem) that is going around now(Same one Uncle Squinty reviewed ).Only thing is we gotta find more people that is interested too. Just keep me posted. Thanks & Alohas, Ryan Orta :-c

Ryan, I would suggest drawing up a list of willing participants along with how much each would be interested in. I’d give it a while for the less regular members to see the thread too, as the other order happened rather quickly. It may well work out that there is an odd amount such as 700g or whatever, but I am sure Roderick would accommodate, and this saves the potential owners of the extra 200g struggling to find others to buddy up with later. It’s probably also worth clarifying how these will be paid for and shipped, and a minimum amount per person, so we don’t get some muppet trying to tag along for 5g Hawaiian_Ryan ~ 150g 50ft_trad ~ 100g Psicko ~? CaptShipwreck ~?

I’m game. What’s the price come out to?

100g

I’m down for a minimum of 100g. Once I get the sample I’m going to let a few people try some, and may be down for more of they want some. @CaptShipwreck 400g costs about $40.00 US not including shipping.

:)) @Psicko The thing with the custom order is you get what you order and then there’s none left So unless you order another 500g afterwards, there’s little chance of going back for seconds. I’d recommend diving in with the biggest quantity you’d be happy to pull the trigger on. There’s probably more chance of trading away the surplus, than coaxing any more off me or Ryan

Put me down for 200g!  PM me if interested.

@50ft_trad, yeah, I know how custom orders work. I doubt that the order will be put in the next day or two. I want 100g for myself, but I’m going to let some other locals try some and see if they want any. Hence why I said I’ll take a minimum of 100, but that might increase if other locals want some.

So where are we at…? Psicko 100g SHbickel 200g Ryan 150g Shipwreck 100g 50ft 100g That means we’re definitely on for an order :-bd. Just a matter of seeing who else wants in. Let me know what I need to do and when

Just keep me posted I’m down for the 150g.Garens Just let me know who is running it and who &when to send payment(how much$) etc…man I’m so stoked :D/ Much mahalos and Aloha, Ryan Orta :-c P.S. I hope everything goes smoothly and no troubles. X_X

I thought you were running it… >:)

@Roderick input on logistics please matey. Once we know who’s in (total numbers) do we all just pay you individually?

Yo cancell my request of the 150grams.I’m just gonna buy a whole bulk (400g).I talked to Roderick already to square it out. So some1 can take my slot of 150g. Easier that way cuz I gotta get other snuff from them. Peace and Alohas, Ryan

On another thread @MrBrooke said he wanted 100 grams. I think we are at: Psicko 100g SHbickel 200g Shipwreck 100g 50ft 100g MrBrooke 100g

Thanks for the mention. Yes, 100g would be nice.

On another thread @Wulfensteinsson said he wanted 200g. Here is where we are at so far. Psicko 100g SHbickel 200g Shipwreck 100g 50ft 100g MrBrooke 100g Wulfensteinsson 200g.

How does the sharing work with respect to the payment/dividing of the snuff?

Any idea how large you guys would like it to get before putting the order in?

This is how the payment and the order was organised for Joseph and I. Once we had established how many grams each of us wanted, we emailed Roderick confirming that we were able to make up at least 400g of snuff between the two of us, and let Roderick know how much each of us wanted. When Roderick informed us that the snuff was ready to be shipped, we individually sent Roderick 3 private emails with our payment details divided between the three at 15 minute intervals for security reasons. As soon as this was done Roderick sent out the snuff individually. Also Joseph paid for his share a couple of weeks before I was able to get the funds together though Roderick was very accommodating to my delayed payment and kindly held onto it until I was ready, thats why Joseph received his order a few weeks before mine came through. 

What was also really convenient, I was running low on Toque Raspberry and Raspberry menthol so I asked if Roderick could add 2, 25g tins to my order and payment which helped me save on some shipping costs instead of making a separate order.

On a side note I received 100g of this new wonderful snuff. It is quite a bit of snuff considering my usual purchases, though I soon panicked after realizing even though 100g of daily use would last me awhile I did not buy enough in case this snuff was not able to be recreated. Thankfully after emailing Roderick he reassured me that he had saved the recipe.

I hope this helps

Aamon summed it up perfectly. Just remember, you only need to order a total of 400 grams. That is the minimum, although I am sure Roderick won’t mind if you order more than that. 

Like Aamon, I have panicked a bit about this snuff. I have a lot of it and have sent some samples out…but I want to have a stockpile of this. It’s that good. For now, I am going to wait until Roderick makes up orders for others and I am actually hoping that this becomes a staple that I can just click and order on the Toque site in the future. 

Seriously, this snuff is in a class of its own. You owe it to yourself as a snuff taker to at least try some of it. I don’t hesitate at all to call this one a masterpiece. 

That’s wonderful of him to accommodate a group-buy in such a way; much less paintful than everyone pooling funds together and dealing with a single recipient.

I’m glad you mentioned that you added some other Toque purchases to your order, @Aamon, as I think I’ll do the same.

Being new to snuff and only having tried American scotches/sweets, I have no idea what I’m in for, but I’ve never seen glowing praise for anything like this before. I’m so excited.

Rodrick is top notch. I’ve only had a few of his snuffs, but they all have been well done, even if you aren’t keen on a particular scent. If you order more, do the 10 for 9 deal. You get ten 10g tins for the price of 9. Good way to sample some of their snuff.

Tell you what gentle folks, put me down for 100g also, I’m starting to feel left out! I need to make another order from Toque soon anyhow, when this custom blend is complete I can get everything shipped together.

So that’s 900g accounted for thus far…

Here is where we are at: Psicko 100g SHbickel 200g Shipwreck 100g 50ft 100g MrBrooke 100g Wulfensteinsson 200g. Dan11 100g

I think I will joust in @ 100g myself as the sample has poked my nose as well. I think this is just the beginning of good things to come!

@Psicko, please put me down for 200grm as well.

Here are where we are at: Psicko 100g SHbickel 200g Shipwreck 100g 50ft 100g MrBrooke 100g Wulfensteinsson 200g. Dan11 100g Jmahes 200g

This going to happen? @roderick what are your favorite toques? If I were to try say five, what are the five toques everyone should try?

@CaptShipwreck, i emailed Rodrick to get this started. There is also another thread going on that discusses toque blends.

Great! Excited to try. Not that interested in blends though. More in his favs.

Well crap, I can’t seem to find the thread I was looking for. A few weeks ago or so someone started a thread about top 5 or 10 toque snuffs since he was going to do the sampler. I found another thread that is about top toque blends. http://www.snuffhouse.com/discussion/2785/your-best-flavour-toque Here is the one I was thinking of: http://snuffhouse.com/discussion/11234/toque-questions#latest

@Psicko keep us informed on developments and instructions :-bd

Will do.

If it’s still going, I’m down for 100. @JosephJames sent me some, and this stuff is just sublime!

If I missed the boat, remember me next time B-)

This still going on? If not, what’s the 400g cost on its own?

Same price as any other 400g bag.

@Hitsuzen @noidea1263 yes, it’s still in plan. Hitzusen, I’ll add you to it. Noidea1263, if you want to get 400g, it’s the same price as the other 400g bags, which I believe is $40. Here is where we are at as of now: Psicko 100g SHbickel 200g Shipwreck 100g 50ft 100g MrBrooke 100g Wulfensteinsson 200g. Dan11 100g Jmahes 200g Hitsuzen 100g.

@SHbickel 200g, @Shipwreck 100g, @50ft_trad 100g, @MrBrooke 100g, @Wulfensteinsson 200g, @Dan11 100g, @Jmahes 200g, @Hitsuzen 100g, @noidea1263 I got the word from Rodrick. The plan is to email Rodrick at roderick@toquesnuff.com let him know that you are ordering the Toque Spanish gem custom. The code order is to order 100g bags of the lavender snuff of the total amount of snuff you want. For example ifv you want 200g, order two 100g bags of lavender after emailing Rodrick.

:-bd Thanks Psicko!

$40 for 400g? I’m in for a whole one, just contact Roderick?

@50ft_trad. Someone had to take control. @noidea2264, going for a whole 400g may be different, contact Rodrick for that.

Order is placed, glass jars at the ready, time to get excited! :D/ <:-P

Just sent an email. Thanks, @Psicko

Thanks for taking charge, @Psicko!  Emailing Roderick now.

@Psicko, this is great news, getting the email prepped now!

It is well worth the wait for this Snuff. To me, it snuffs like a schmaltzer and yet is very potent. I got zero nose burn, so it is very easy to overdo it. The flavor is excellent.

Damn, had to get on this too… order placed email sent

Is it to late to get in on this? I’ve been waffling on pulling the trigger but I think I will if I still can.

It all depends how much surplus Roderick has made. Send him an email from Toque’s website

Great. Thanks @psicko

@SandwhichIsles email Rodrick and see.

When I emailed to see it didn’t seem like there was an issue. I’m guessing he made extra assuming the interest shown. I look forward to trying it

Email sent. I have ready a bigmouth glassjar hungrily awaiting this snuff. >:)

Edit: Order placed.

Thank you for taking care @Psicko  :-bd

@Wulfensteinsson you’re welcome. Now hopefully he puts this on the menu.

So I sent an email (direct from my email) yesterday, no response, so today I sent one through the Toque site. Whenever he responds I’ll pull the trigger, otherwise I have no interest in accidentally actually ending up with 100g of Lavender B-) EDIT: Got my reply, placed my order. I’m happy in so many places right now.

Mine just arrived! :D/ <:-P

Still awaiting my reply to put an order in.

I just emailed Roderick. Hope I didn’t miss this one! *Edit* Just spoke to Roderick and ordered 200g!

After indulging in this snuff today, I’d just like to say thanks to Ryan for getting another round of this on the go, to Psicko for nudging it on in the right direction, and to Roderick for accomodating all us loonies 8-} Thanks guys =D> I hope the wait for the rest of you is as short as possible. I’ll be thinking of you all starting at your letterboxes longingly every time I take a pinch >:)

Order placed, thanks. Looking forward to trying this custom blend, even though I’ve never had the original Spanish Gem.

Ok, so I’m going to preface what I’m about to say with the fact that I’m glad that there has been a push for this blend. However, I’m left scratching my head at the number of people (in this thread and others) who jumped on SG2 without having tried SGO. SGO is such a (modern) classic that I was suprised how many have not tried it yet. Nothing wrong with that, mind you. Just find it interesting.

I jumped on it for 2 reasons: 1, it’s got glowing reviews from all who’ve sampled it and 2, being a custom blend there’s always the possibility it won’t be available again. If I find it’s not for me I’m sure I can trade it off. For 13 or 14 euros I’m willing to take a punt.

I jumped on the custom because of the difference in grind. Berwick Brown is my number one snuff, so any new snuffs from Toque in a coarser grind are worth investigating. As to why I’d not tried the original, it’s purely due to the overwhelming choice we’ve had in recent years. Many of the snuffs that have fallen by the wayside in 2016 remain unknown to me. I haven’t sampled the entire catalogue of any of the snuffmakers.

@Sandwhichlsles I guess its kind of like having the next iphone. Some people may not be into the finer grind snuffs, its also a wonderful snuff that is not avaliable to the general public outside of this great forum ^:)^

My old crusty rusty mustang is still a good car but I would love a new one if it was available.

I jumped on the new one because, as much as I have always loved the original, this custom answered the few things that kept it from being a potential all-day for me. The result is different in every regard, but I really love it.

I haven’t tried the new batch of this new Spanish Gem, is it identical to the samples that you guys had tried from the very 1st batch?

@Roderick Sounds like you should addit it the official lineup.

@Psicko, thanks for helping me get motivated. Order placed and @Roderick was awesome as usual!

I got my snuff today. This stuff is fantastic! Roderick, you outdid yourself brother. The only regret I have is only ordering 200g. So good that I had to shout-out you guys on Reddit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/nasalsnuff/comments/5qsvva/shoutout\\_to\\_roderick\\_from\\_toque\\_the\\_guys\\_at/

WOW! are any of you guys willing to sell a gram of two? 

I really like the sound of this stuff but dunno about buying 100’s of grams without trying first

thanks in advance

I’m still awaiting my order. I hope Rodrick sent me the 100g bag of the custom Spanish gem instead of a 100g bag of lavender

@Tekno

If you’re in Europe then PM me your details and I’ll send you a few grams sample

You’re an absolute star @dan11

does the UK still count as europe? 

pardon my ignorance 

I don’t technically know, and tbh, I don’t particularly care! I’m in Ireland so no problem sending to the UK.

PM me you’re details. I have an empty 5g McChrystals tin here, I’ll fill it with Cutsom SG and pop it in the mail tomorrow morning.

Have just messaged you, thank you so so so so much! 

cannot put it into words how much i appreciate it. 

i massively owe you one!! 

Ah ireland okay i can’t imagine that it would be much of an issue at all! 

Will be interesting to see when it arrives.

again thank you so much!

Sounds like a good snuff. Looks like I’ll just have to wait for a few months and it will be a regular item available in 25 gram tins. Spanish Gem Plus? Rough Gem?

@JakartaBoy the name Ambrosia has been considered

Spanish Best? Spanish Glory?

Rusty Spanish

Spanish Gem Plus
Spanish Jewel

Spanis Jewel is the snuff that SG in a homage to, so I think that’s out. I havent tried SG2 yet but I’m partial to the earlier suggestion of Spanish Best.

I just received the Package.
Holy crizap!

My humble advice:
Just Get It!

thanks @Psicko, you were right

@jmahes YES!!

I think Aamon’s earlier name when this all came about was perfect. Ambrosia. Food of the gods. Besides, this was made to his specifications

@SandwhichIsles Thanks for mentioning Spanish Jewel!  I didn’t know about the origins of Spanish Gem and I had a fun tear through a bunch of old threads reading about the mysterious snuff master from Catalonia.  The lore makes me appreciate this new revision of Spanish Gem.

An adaptation of a recreation of a rare masterpiece that was lost to the sands of time.  Good stuff.
