I would have to say the all time worst snuff I’ve had to date is Peach Sweet snuff, “sweet as a peach”. This might be a bad tin or might be intended to taste this way, inconceivable as that is. There’s a couple others in close second, but I’d have to say quitting would be preferable to continued use of this concoction. What’s your all’s least favorite, bad or plain gut wrenching snuff to date?

Samuel Gawith Black Rappee. Very moist and coarse and impossible to dispense from those new containers, which is no bad thing, because it burns like hell and smells like coal tar. But this was just my personal impression, which of course may change with time…that’s the thing about snuff!

Lotzbeck Perle

dean swift!

Taxi Red is the worst I’ve come across so far, with Taxi Menthol in a close second. They feel like dirt, and taste even worse. I did try them on a few separate occasions to make sure I wouldn’t change my mind, and they were still awful. I even tried the orally to see if they were palatable that way, and they still weren’t. Bad Bad Bad

Gawith Hoggarth Strawberry = Shake ‘N’ Vac.

This may court controversy but my least favourite to date is Irish High Toast 22 by Wilsons (I am fairly new to snuffing though so may have to wait for my tastes to develop a little to appreciate it). I also dislike GH’s Dry Orange.

Wilson’s Crumbs Of Comfort. Also Frederick Tranters Hobsons Choice, both stink the same.

Probably Gawith Hoggarth Jockey Club. Or maybe McCrystals O&G.

My least favorite I have in stock is Packards Club, i really liked it for some months, don t know what happened, but if i use it now i need a immediate nose douching.

Wilson’s Raspberry is not very good (has a very artificial scent), but I still use it once in a blue moon when I need a good sneeze. I also do not care much for Taxi Red at the moment.

F&T Macouba aka; old dead hooker’s armpit. Not a pleasant smell.

Lotzbeck Perle has to be the worst snuff I have ever tried. It smells like basement dust. ~Snuffy

You’ve got that right, snuffy. I took one pinch and tossed the rest. I did keep the tin for future use. Others that I don’t care for: Wilson’s French Carotte McChrystal’s Violet

I think I have the tin sitting under my bed. I had to keep it away from the other snuffs…quarantined, if you will. I will eventually empty it’s contents for the use of the tin. I just haven’t yet found a use for the tin. ~Snuffy

Many snuffs compete for the wooden-spoon - anything heavily scented or medicated is out for me as indeed are old tarts and hospital apothecaries.

I agree with that Philips, a lot of snuffs on my personal list too. I have to say though, that the streets ahead winner is Taxi Blue. I can’t believe that anyone apart from hobos, tramps and lunatics could use this stuff - it is surely made from dung. Now I actually like the smell of some dung - rabbit shit does it for me in actual fact - but I would not like to meet the animal that helped out with this nasty stuff.

I’ve tried a couple Gawith Hoggarth and they both smelled the same, one was strawberry and the other was Sea Breeze (if I remembered the name correctly). Such a disappointment. Still waiting for that perfect strawberry snuff, haven’t found it yet.

I think I’m going to avoid taxi snuff on evidence of some of the above comments

GH are getting a lot of votes here…

Yeah, been snuffing for years and never really got into any of their products - I find them strangely sneezy.

For me Crumbs of Comfort is probably at the bottom of the list, along with all the other snuffs that have a spearmint flavour, closely followed by any strongly mentholated snuff. Many of the GH snuffs are also fairly low on my list, but I do like their Kendal Brown and Dry Orange. The jury is still out on Western Glory.

I have to vote for Checkerberry. That taste is just WRONG in my nose and nearly made me… Well i tried it so at least I know what leman was talking about in the chat

I have found several that I HATE, but I don’t think any of them were bad snuffs, just bad for me. Dholakia Indian varieties were just awful. Partly because I hate cloves, partly because they reminded me too much of my grandmas house. Not bad snuff, just not for me. Gawith Apricot is my all time worst. American Sweets are a close second.

@bigmick; I also don’t like the american sweets and gawith apricot so we may have similar tastes. The first dholakia I got was sparrow cool. At first I didn’t like it, now it’s one of my favorites. I’m not that crazy about the manjul, though. My point is, I would not give up on the dholakias. I’m glad I didn’t!

I like the Sparrow Cool and Anis is Ok, both my daughters love the Swiss Chocolate, which I like on a very limited basis. I just detest the Manjul/Kamal/Ganja group.I’m really starting to like the Sqaure snuff, so not all American snuffs are out either.

I like square alot, a close second to rooster. I like all the scotches, just not the sweets. I use kamal and ganga in small pinches, mostly because I feel like I smell a little better after I pinch something harsher.

@ miamimark - but what snuffs do you dislike?

I REALLY dislike gawith apricot and the american sweet snuffs. (I have honey bee sw, strawberry and peach sweet) For some reason i can’t stand toque pepermint, which is surprising cause I like all the other toques.

I find Gawith Apricot a bit sickly, but I’m sure there are worse concoctions out there

WoS Royal George probably top of the “never again” snuff in my collection. Gone right off the WoS Strausburg lately as well.

Two Royal George bashers in a row… shocking

I’ll sniff to that!

More for the rest of us!

toque peanut butter. It works and all that and it smells nice but for some reason I don’t like snuffing it. Which I know makes as much sense as getting kissed by a hot girl and finding it to be a neutral experience. Only snuff I feel neutral about which is worse then hate in my opninon. As far as hate. Packards club I loathe. Hearing people rave about how good it is like seeing people eat poo and proclaiming the yummness of it. I mean I hate packards club I can’t see how anyone would like it. There is a cologne scent in there that hits my nose like wet sun-baked many moons old dead skunk hits most people. I think it might be the only snuff I might not snuff if nothing else is avilable.

It’s fascinating how all of our snouts have different scent interpretations.

Rooster,too damn dry for me.*Achoo*

I’ve never tried the american snuffs. The only ones that sound appealing to me a checkerberry. I’ll try them someday.

Samuel Gawith…Richt Kind…rightly unkind, yuck!

Bruton Scotch. I got some as a free sample in an order, and found it to be vile. And Ozona cherry…although i like poschl’s other snuffs i tried.

This is easy : Poschl Chief Bull

Mine is lotzbeck the pearl and the mild both were like death or snuffing a dead rat. Bob - I have bedded a couple of those type of women and I would have had more fun with a dead carp than them. I know what you mean man.

I’d have to say that the worst I’ve had so far was dean swift clove.

Royal George for me, I can’t stand it. Also any G&H offering they all have a chemical taste. Stefan

I love the taste of Ao 1860, but man, it makes me sneeze even as I am taking a pinch. It feels like sand to me. Maybe my batch is really dry. I love the flavor though.

Anything that smells/tastes woody. Lots of people swear by sandalwood, but I despise it. If I wanted to snuff sawdust, I would…but I don’t.

A lot of people get that way Alcyon. LOL. With me the Gawith Apricot makes me feel that way. For some reason Gletscher doesn’t have the same effect. I’m not ready to name anything my absolute least favorite yet though, but Gawith Apricot is in the runnning, and I think its the world’s most popular!

so far i don’t have anything that i hate but my two least favorite are prolly wos gold label as it’s just kinda boring and dean swift cameleapord as theres just something funny about it oh and sparrow cool just hurts my sinuses.

So far F&T Old Paris is my least favorite snuff. Just can’t seem to keep it in my nose and if I sniff too hard my sinuses get screwed up for several days.

I wish I could keep various F&T products in my nose for longer too, it kinda puts me off using their products, despite the gorgeous scents available. Theyre so moist its very difficult.

+1 for F&T’s OP. I just don’t get anything from this one. I do like sniffing the open vial, however. My best worst so far is the dreadful Irish Coffee. It’s a shocker since I like or love almost everything else they make. Surprised nobody’s mentioned it in this thread, I know it has a lot of fans.

I LOVE ALL SNUFF I LOVE ALL SNUFF I LOVE ALL SNUFF I LOVE ALL SNUFF

I don’t get it old paris is awesome. Not all the F&Ts are so moist. The french carrote which is awesome is not so moist and is a finer grind. It’s equaly nice as their moister snuffs as far as smell goes. Of course the awesome high dry toast isn’t moist at all. Old paris is amazing though.

Toque St Clements doesn’t really do it for me, it’s a bit too zesty for my little snout, whereas I can’t get enough of the Toast & Marmalade.

Snuffbox - I’m not much for Wilsons Irish Coffee either. I don’t get much coffee or Irish. The Rose does not do much for me either. I forgot about those because I put them away and forgot about them. I don’t hate them just dislike.

Everything menthol or mint… aaarrggh…

I agree with you bob, Old Paris is divine for me, and not THAT moist. Been on F&T French Carotte myself today and that one is quite dry.

mix the french carotte with wilsons rose you’ll get the best snuff ever.

I don’t have a problem with moist snuff, I mostly prefer them actually. My OP just doesn’t have any fragrance in the nose, it feels heavy and bland like snuffing powdered cardboard. I wanted to like it but I can’t. Looking forward to trying the rose tho. Jarhog I’m with you, I don’t get anything from IC except a nasty feeling like OMG I need to wash my nose out! Never had that with any other snuff.

oh sorry snuffbox I was commenting on two seperate posting. The old paris is really a strange one. My last tin I got many months ago and when I first snuffed it the scent was light soggy cigar and also a dateish vineager smell. I loved it though not excatly a crowd pleaser. After letting it sit a while the scent mutates dramaticly slowly but dramaticly. I’d say hold on to old paris take a pinch from it about once a month. I predict at some point you may stick a pile up your nose. Another comment on old paris my favorite way to snuff it is to make a pile smaller then a schmalzer pile but larger then a normal pinch on the back of my hand. It seems to agree better that way. I totaly understand that nasty feeling I get it from O.G. (just doesn’t seem to agree with me).

Hey Bob, I don’t know, I got this tin with my infamous what the hell are these flakes doing in my Princes tin. It looks like all these tins were older than F&T itself. I don’t have any hope for it. About the most I can say is it did become tolerable in one of Patricks famous boxes but it still is really bad. I think they must really have some big batch to batch variations. Old timers here say sometimes they get a tin of F&T that is out of this world and then they go and change something and the next one they get isn’t anything like it. Lucky for me my replacement Princes is great and my HDT rocks. I’m still pretty high on F&T but I don’t have it in me to try any more OP at least not if I have to pay for it and have it shipped over here. I’ll just try one of their other ones instead like Dr. JR and the KB etc.

good call. If we meet I pray I’ve got some good O.P. on me.

In you or with you LOL

By the way that might be a good name for a snuff, Old Preacher. Sounds kinda like a bourbon!

on on on on on on on

I seem to remember a drugstore pipe tobacco by the name of Old Preacher.

Cool if we could see a pic of the pouch.
