I don’t know if it’s a particularity of my metabolism,but,the problem I have with Toques products is on the level of nicotine rush,I feel it on those products but not of the same quality of others snuffs.I think it’s possibly done with their mean to make the snuff less burning in nose.It’s a problem because I find their flavors very interesting.
I would agree with gandalf. If only the Toques were a touch more alkalized or maybe salted, fermented or something, I can’t say but there does in comparison to some other snuffs seem to be something missing. This has been brought to Roderick’s attention before. I can’t remember his response but I do remember it was very reasonable. I think (I hope) once he gets back to creating new snuffs he will experiment more in this area. The fresher the snuff the better in most types of English snuffs. Poschl with all it’s added ingredients doesn’t really have this problem.
I think it’s a texture issue. Although I like many of them, they seem to my humble nose to be even harder to take than American Scotches. It’s not that they are finer, but at some point with minimal “suck” even Scotches just jump into the nose, whereas Toques seem to take more pressure to sniff while being almost as fine. I have to concentrate whenever I am taking Toque as much as if I were taking Dholakia White to avoid lungage.
I have no solution to this. I only put forth that the grind can be mastered with care.
@zanaspus I know exactly what you mean. I had to develop an entirely new technique to even take quit without 90% firing into my lungs. The others I do pretty well with, but there is something about the grind that seems to irritate my nose a bit. I still love the scents, I just can’t use anything but the toastss as an all day snuff.
i cant even get on the poschl site now
I Love mrsnuff.com!!! I forgot about the reward points, and from that and a coupon code, i was able to get another 2 cans!!!
There is one way to get Toques to stop going right to the throat. It’s a little bit difficult to explain, but try to make yourself gag, and what I mean by that is the point of the ‘gag’ in which your throat is shut…hold it like that, take a pinch, sniff, and make sure your throat immediatly closes up. This worked for me every time, but it’s a little difficult to master…but once mastered…no more throat coat!
But seriously, Toques whisky and honey is one of the best…and that is the end of that!
