I was reading some of the reviews on Snuffreviews.com and under F&T someone suggests mixing equal parts of Old Paris and High Dry Toast. I love it! The flavors play off one another and creates a nice taste that I feel is better then the individuals. Been sniffing it all day. A lot of us have a wide variety of snuffs to use for mixing. Please post your favorite combos and concoctions.
My mixing actions I don’t think were that well, as I was trying to make better a snuff I didn’t like too much, by mixing it with one I did like, and in the end, it may have made it slighty “better”, I am left feeling I have wasted some of the one snuff I really do like. Now, I haven’t done it, but I think mixing 2 or more? snuffs that ones does like, of flavors that should compliment each other, that may be good. I know leman send me a mix of mint and menthol, and that came out very good. Tom502
@ bigbuyer - I have a similar mix that I call Toasty Old Paris: equal parts HDT, Old Paris and Toque Whisky & Honey. I’m also experimenting with mixing a few F&T florals together, so far I have Princes, Princes Special, Seville, Macouba, Santo Domingo, Kendal Brown and French Carotte a-mingling in my snuff box. A bit of a zinger.
My successful stuff: 1. Toque Peanut Butter+Bernard Brasil Feinst 2. 1/8 Chief Bull+7/8 Garrett Sweet 3. 1/8 Ozona Cherry+7/8 Toque Toffee Gotta say, I’m with tom502 though, I’ve had a recurring theme/scent of a breezy barn even without the Packard’s Club ;~) Just have to do it in small, small batches.
Toffeenose, I just tried your mix of HDT/Old Paris/Toque Whiskey and Honey and it is a really nice combo, Thanks! We need more receipes. It would be interesting to combine some of the new Dholakia snuffs and Toque snuffs. Maybe create a Cherry Coke or etc with them…
I’m going to try mixing some of the new Dholakia’s that I don’t care for with some of the US sweets, it might make the flavors blossom out a bit more.
I think snuff cocktail recipes deserves its own category on the forum. It’s an exciting and informative area as I like the idea of tailoring a snuff to suit somebodies personal preferences.
I agree it should be a great addition to have a cocktail snuff category. I am going to try and make peanut butter and jelly snuff out of Toque peanut butter and Dholakia Grape snuffs. Let you know soon…
I mixed some PB&J out of 1 part HDT, 1.5 parts Dholakia Grape and 3 parts Toque Peanut butter. Careful that has some potent nicotine. Let me know.
Of all the mixing I’ve done, I don’t think I’ve done a Toque cocktail yet. That will have to be next on my list of things to do. As soon as I empty my snuff box that is.
Toque W&H with Quit is very nice, sweet but strong, like me!!!
I have a mostly Toque mixture in one of my boxes now. espresso, chocolate, peanut butter. Might be some toffee or vanilla in there too, I can’t remember. There’s also a bit of de Kralingse 1860 in it. Anyway, I’m trying to come up with a root beer recipe. I know, outside of North America root beer is almost unknown, so I doubt many of you can help me. So far the ingredients I am considering are: Checkerberry, Toque Vanilla, Touqe Absinthe, Toque Cherry, Wilsons Ice Liquorice, Toque Peppermint, Samuel Gawith Afterglow, some kind of lemon or SP. Also maybe some clove or cinnimon snuffs. I don’t mean to use all of these, they are just ones that I might draw from. I’m debating whether menthol will help or hurt it. Also need somthing to sub for sassafrass or sasparilla. Anybody have suggestions?
bigblue, are you suggesting I just flavor snuff with actual sasparilla soda? It may come to that, if I can’t get the flavor just right.
must have missed that one. Sorry. I have had that sasparilla, but not in 10 years or so, its not bad.
so what is this great film?
Thank you Roderick! I just tried the mix of Chocolate, Toffee and Chocolate nice. I love your Toffee. I just received 400G of it from you. Great service. For you new or relatively new guys like me, I see Roderick has a thread that I printed out with called “Cocktails”. Alot of great combos to try. Glad I have been ordering a lot of smash boxes from Nicotine Rush to mix them in. Keep them the receipes coming guys. Variety is the spice of life!
ok, ya good movie. I’m a Cohen’s fan, but what’s it got to do with sasparilla?
The Stranger (Sam Elliot) asks for a good sarsparilla and the bartender serves him a Sioux City. The best movie of the last 20 years.
I drink the Sioux City Sarsaparilla on a weekly basis, I love it. Parents carry it at their ice cream parlor.
Put it on the wrong thread
What does sasparilla taste of? Stefan
Sarsaparilla tastes similar to root beer, but I would say it is a stronger flavor.
@ bob: I do need to see that one more. I think I’ve only seen it straight through once, then bits and pieces when its aired on Comedy Central. Odd, becuase I own almost all the other Cohen Bros. movies, even the obscure ones. Most of them I can recite lines to you. Somehow Lebowski got left out. I need to rectify that. Drat, another reason to earn money @ leman: I doubt he knows what root beer tastes like. It tastes like…well, it tastes like root beer! Someone should send him a bottle. @ Troutstroker: I think I read somwhere there is a Root Beer shop in your neighborhood (Chico, maybe?) know anything about it? They have hundreds of varieties I think.
I have had this stuff called “Ginger Beer”, it’s not bad, though kinda “stinging?”. Tom502
Tom, Ginger Beer is a favourite in SA. It’s a home brewed drink, easy to make. As a kid, we used to drink lots of this stuff because we were poor and my Mom could make it cheaply. Nowadays one can buy it bottled from a factory but it’s not the same.
We used to have a drink in the UK called Dandelion and Burdock. It was vile.
@ tom502: Ginger beer is getting easier and easier to find in the US. There are quite a few American producers of it now, most of them small companies. Most of them are very good and quite spicy. I used to drink it everyday for awhile. @toffeenose: you still have a drink in the UK called Irn Bru. It is vile. Although the concoction you mention doesn’t sound any better.
@ Xander: Oh, I like Irn Bru! Best hangover cure going! I’m drinking Old Jamaica ginger beer right now…
Can Irn Bru be the same as Iron Brew which we have in SA? Sounds like it.
It might be, this is a Scottish fizzy ‘fruit’ drink, reddish coloured…?
Its like explaining what root beer or sarpsarilla is to somone who’s never tasted it. The closest flavor I can think of to match Irn Bru is either bubble gum or cotton candy (if you have those there). I had to spend a lot of time in Scotland a number of years ago, where I was introduced to it. At first I loved the stuff. I go to a Scottish festival every year here. They were selling some there and I bought some again a few years ago. I hated it. Everyone I let try hated it too. I don’t know what I ever liked about it! toffee, I have had that ginger beer, its a good one. Following up on above comment, I found an old Sioux City Ginger Beer in the fridge today. Too old though, It had gone somewhat flat and lost most of its flavor. All I tasted was sweet and spice.
Yes Debbie, it is.
thanks for the tip. You’ll turn me from a snuff mixer into a snuff maker yet, snuffgrinder
Cherry Coke. I just mixed Toque Coke 3 scoops and 1 scoop Toque Cherry. Nice taste.
I inadvertently created an interesting mix. I had Dholakia Swiss Chocolate in my bullet and wanted to switch it for Dholakia Medicated. I emptied the Swiss Chocolate, and instead of cleaning out my bullet, just poured the Medicated in with a shrug. It created Mint Chocolate. Mostly menthol and with a touch of chocolate. Fantastic!
I’ve mixed in some McC Supermint into the Temptation Minty Vanilla, because I could not find any mint in it, now it’s pretty good.
I think I’m going to try a “Reeses Blend” with the Toque Peanut Butter and Chocolate later. OmNomNom!! :)~
