Mix Your Snuff!

B

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.

S

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.

B

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…

C

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.

S

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.

B

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…

B

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.

L

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.

P

Toque W&H with Quit is very nice, sweet but strong, like me!!!

X

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?

X

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.

X

must have missed that one. Sorry. I have had that sasparilla, but not in 10 years or so, its not bad.

X

so what is this great film?

B

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!

X

ok, ya good movie. I’m a Cohen’s fan, but what’s it got to do with sasparilla?

N

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.

T

I drink the Sioux City Sarsaparilla on a weekly basis, I love it. Parents carry it at their ice cream parlor.

S

Put it on the wrong thread

W

What does sasparilla taste of? Stefan

L

Sarsaparilla tastes similar to root beer, but I would say it is a stronger flavor.

X

@ 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.

T

I have had this stuff called “Ginger Beer”, it’s not bad, though kinda “stinging?”. Tom502

P

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.

T

We used to have a drink in the UK called Dandelion and Burdock. It was vile.

X

@ 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.

T

@ Xander: Oh, I like Irn Bru! Best hangover cure going! I’m drinking Old Jamaica ginger beer right now…

P

Can Irn Bru be the same as Iron Brew which we have in SA? Sounds like it.

T

It might be, this is a Scottish fizzy ‘fruit’ drink, reddish coloured…?

X

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.

P

Yes Debbie, it is.

X

thanks for the tip. You’ll turn me from a snuff mixer into a snuff maker yet, snuffgrinder

B

Cherry Coke. I just mixed Toque Coke 3 scoops and 1 scoop Toque Cherry. Nice taste.

M

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!

T

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.

C

I think I’m going to try a “Reeses Blend” with the Toque Peanut Butter and Chocolate later. OmNomNom!! :)~
