I’ve been thinking about a proper mixed grill for quite some time now and today I’ve made this mix. I’m sure some of you snuff connoisseurs would like to crucify me for this. I’ve put together: TOQUE: W&H, T&M, Peppermint, Menthol, Natural, Original, Raspberry, Cherry, Toffee, Peanutbutter, Vanilla, Espresso, Pomegranate, Grapefruit, St Clements, Chocolate and Absinthe DHOLAKIA: Kamal, Manjul, Ganga, Swiss Chocolate, Sparrow Green and Sparrow Cool WILSONS Burgundy, Crumbs of Comfort, Irish HDT 22, and Prime Minister SAMUEL GAWITH Jockey Club and Black Coffe POSCHL Gletscher Prise, Lowen Prise, Robby’s Mint, Gawith Apricot and President GAWITH HOGGARTH Kendal Brown and Tia Maria MOLENS Latakia 1860 JAXON’S cafe Creme, BERNARDS Zwiefacher, Kloster Mischung, Jubiläums 275 Jahre and Alba Persischer BESPOKE Christma Joy MAGNET Peach TAXI Spearmint and McCHRYSTALS O&G. That is 47 different snuffs in one 25gram Toque tin. I took equal amounts of each with my small silver snuff spoon and this mix is now sitting on my desk. I will try to let it settle for at least 48 hours. Madness?? Maybe!! I’m bored after not working for 12 days and that’s why I did it. I hope I will be able to use this mixture. Now why did I put it on here? Because I would like to know whether there are some more crazy people like me out there. Cheers Pieter
So Pieter - How did it taste? Which snuffs could you still recognise in that mix? Would be interesting to know which stood out.
Sorry - didnt catch the bit about letting it sit for 48 hours. Go on, have a pinch now and let us know!
Mopey, I took a pinch now and you won’t believe this; It tastes like nothing!! Only snuff that come through faintly is the Dholakia Sparrows!! I just hope it will improve with time. But if it does not, I will mix in some strong stuff to make it snuffable. Everything won’t be lost. Will let you know later on what happened
I usually end up throwing my mixes away - I guess this is why the snuff makers get paid for what they do. I did make a great mix once though - 1 part O&G, 3 parts Toque Chocolate, and 1 part The Dutch clove snuff - I forget its name. Was really very good. Maybe your snuff will turn out good, I have had cigars that tasted crap but really tasted nice after a few months in the humidor - the great mystery of tobacco awaits!
That is one hell of a mix Pieter! Hope it tastes ok. Stefan
Sounds like what I did the other night when I was bored, but my mix was of 110 varieties. I started using mine immediately after mixing, and each pinch tasted a little different. I decided to let it sit for a couple days, so the flavors can all blend together. I’ll be going back to it tomorrow, to see how it is. Pieter - you’re not the only crazy one around here.
I would think that that many flavors would all muddle together and mess up the taste, but then again, it might be like a good cigar that has different flavors to it depending on how long you smoke it. Anyways, let us know how it turns out after the flavors mix for a while.
Your walking a thin line there pal. Yet I cannot cast the first stone. I’m sure you won’t have to waste your mix. But you may have to use some sort of intelligence to make it snuffable. Unless you got really lucky. Now I didn’t see any Royal George in there.
When got back into snuffing, about 4 months ago, I got the standard HDT, IHT, and rooster. I did not like them too much so I mixed a bit of each in a wilsons cherry wood box. I have a bit from time to time and add a bit of each plain snuff I get as I get them. I never know what it will be like when I open the box. It must have about 10 things in it now. Remember crazy is only not having the same world view of a group of people. All the mixes I have done that I enjoyed enough to make again took me between 4 and 12 tries to get one I liked. If I were doing such a massive project as you I would expect to do 100s of tests to get something I loved.
I like to make mixes too, but I’ve never tried that many types all together! I hope it settles down to something nice, Pieter!
I’ve stirred and tasted the mix about 10 times already and everytime it’s different. The first impression is of a cool (cold) breeze going up my nose. Not a menthol smell at all, just cool. Next is a very slight burn which is very nice. There after ?? I can’t describe it !! It’s like nothing else I’ve ever tasted, so I can’t say it’s like this or that!! One thing is sure so far, the snuff in there isn’t wasted. It is GOOOOOD!!! I’ve put it down now and will let it rest for a couple of days. Will tell you some more about this concoction later.
Sounds great. Makes me wanna try some mixes once I increase my snuff variety a bit.
You are so right!!! But…I wish you can taste this!! I’ve been at it all morning, trying to find a way to describe it. It’s unreal. There is no way I can tell what it’s like. I’ve some of this monster mix in a seperate tin and I’ve been digging into it all the time, can’t stop. It is absolutely delicious. I’ve put some away, will try to let it mature but I don’t know for how long! But, I won’t do it like this again. I will rather start with a plain snuff like Natural and add on from there. I might have some snuff in MG 47 (mixed grill with 47 snuffs) which do nothing to enhance the taste.
Lol Roderick. Stefan
It’s 9.00pm and I’m still busy with MG47, must have sniffed a good 5grams already today. And the taste keeps on changing all the time. At some stage it reminded me of Christmas Joy. Now it’s sweet like nothing I’ve tried before. Oh, it is so good!! Roderick, I’m a South Afican and we tend to be a little behind the rest of the world in all respects. So please tell me what is significant of being called Heinz? The only Heinz I know is a company who makes old world medicine. And thank goodness, MG47 does not taste like medicine at all. Cheers Pieter
Heinz 57 varieties is ketchup. We use the term to describe something with many differant backrounds. Ie: if someone has a mutt with unknown parentage, we might say he’s a “heinz 57 variety”
Thank you, miamimark!! Unfortunately I only have 47 different snuffs at present. If both my orders get delivered this week, I will have 57 by the weekend and I might go for a MG57. Hell, this stuff is potent. I was just now sitting 2 metres away from my wife and everytime I opened the tin, she would rub her nose and complain about “the smell”. Funny thing about this mix is, it does not clog up my nose at all although I’ve been at it all day long. I’ve never before sniffed so much snuff in one day. This is the good life!!
what did George 3 mix all his snuffs???
bigblue 1, I’m happy if I can still make someone laugh. We live in a sad sad world and many a time, people are so serious about life that all the joy is lost (see posts about new products). Me, I don’t take life to serious. I wanna be, for ever young!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! This MG47 is just growing better and better, never had anything so nice before, except MAYBE sex.
