strange to open this tin and see no sign of toast style tobacco. looks like ordinary WoS style snuff. milk chocolate brown, perhaps a bit dryer and finer grind. I smell sweet orange. It’s like another SP variation of WoS and they have many. can this be my first mislabeled tin?
I like toast snuffs and I was looking for a challenger for precious Toque’s lime toast but if this is supposed really to be lemon toast I am missing toast and lemon.
but it is not bad snuff. it’s strong and delicious. ripe citrus flavour but I find it to be more like orange that lemon. could be labeled “citrus SP”
for citrus SP I’d give 8/10 but if it’s really “lemon toast” I’d say that obsession for SP style snuff has taken control over WoS and this has just went wrong.

Their concept of a toast has always been wider than the rest of the industry. Their Irish High Toast is an SP, pure and simple, so it won’t be mislabeled; it’s just dear old Aunt Wilson’s peculiar ways. But if you have been around since 1750 you get to be eccentric I suppose.

@Snuffster so WoS do not make like “normal toast” under WoS label like they do under Fribourg & Treyer “alter ego label”? FT high dry toast is just a perfect toast snuff to me. like this morning my bones felt gravity so intense that I was surprised that I succeeded to arrive to my work. then I had some coffee and serval pinches of that “high dry toast” and I felt moved in my heart like " how good is this, everything must be ok because there is snuff this great". insane? maybe but it is that good!

@Snuffster are you referring to 22 as an SP or 20? Or both? 20 I see as an SP but my under educated nose may have missed it with Wilson’s # 22.

so WoS has so many SP variations that they do not know which one is toast and which is not?
I’m not saying that WoS is doing a bad job but people like me from close to north pole might get a bit confused with “shopping chart” that’s all. maybe they need to cut some branches off from the apple tree at WoS? if we want to have a 1001 variations os SP we could mix it ourselves too?

I had a tin of Lemon Toast. I found it both lemony and toasty. I don’t think they used the smokey #22 (Irish Hight Toast) for the base, but rather the more mild #21 (Irish Toast). Also I adore Toque Lime Toast. Very toasty and very limey. Both I need to restock :-0(

My lemon toast reminded me of old pancakes caked in lemon juice.

The one I mean is Irish D toast No 20, I didn’t make that clear. I would classify it as an SP with none of the characteristics of a toast at all. I’ve only bought it once, which was a few weeks ago in a half pound tub. It’s a good snuff - most of Wilsons are - but I don’t get the toast aspect, if I blind tested I would probably say it was Tom Buck.

Their FandT toast is the real deal imho.
