So then you should have sex while you have a snoot full of MG47!
I’ve tried the MG47 again this morning after it’s been sitting for at least 48hours without being disturbed. I’m unable to describe the smell/taste/aroma. The nice, cool breeze up my nose is still there, it’s sweet, spicy, darkish…very nice indeed. I will do it again, for sure. What amazes me is the nicotine hit. It makes my head spin, it is STRONG! Why should that be? So, what I have here is a snuff, very easy on the nose, beautiful aroma with one hell of a nicotine hit. You want some? See the top of the page for the recipe!! Aaaah, after about 5 minutes, I now smell CUSTARD
Wow it must be an amazing snuff if you can smell dead generals from that far away. (sorry just in a funny mood today)
I have some of this mix in my Patrick box for today. It is good. Period. I won’t do it again. In fact, I’m not going to make any more big mixes. Hopefully, by end next week, my latest order will be here and I will have 60 different snuffs. I’m going to store them according to type, all dry stuff together, all SP’s together etc. I have on my desk a nice bowl in which I’m going to place my day’s snuffs. I will then change this everyday so that I can rotate through my stock regularly. As it is now, I sometimes “detect” a snuff of which I have already forgotten. I don’t want that anymore. I also have lots of mixes, some small (5g) some large (25g). I’m going to find me I nice, airtight screwtop jar and chuck ALL of this mixed stuff in there. If it’s a flop, so be it. I’m fed-up with all the little bottles and tins and boxes and what not with more or less snuff in them. I will still make cocktails but, one at a time and small amounts. Once I’ve used it all, I will make something else. I’m trying to get some order back in my life and this is the place for me to start. And, as we say in AA ( yes, I’m a recovering alcoholic, member of AA and sober since 24/12/93 ) “thanks for listening to me” !! Regards Pieter
GOOD NEWS!!! This “blend”, after adding some more unwanted snuffs, developed into the most delicious snuff I’ve ever tasted and I have about 250grams of it. BAD NEWS!!! I haven’t the faintest idea of what it consists of now.
I was just wondering how MG47 was coming along, Pieter! Can you try to describe the flavour now it’s had time to settle?
Hi Debbie, it’s very diificult to describe the smell of this mix. First of all, when I open the jar, the aroma that comes forth, reminds me of a freshly baked fruitcake, sweet smelling and “warm”. It might also be smelling like Christmas pudding, the ones that my mother used to bake. The snuff is quite moist because I’ve added a lot of Taxi Blue and Red. I buy Taxi for the tins, which I use as snuff boxes. The tobacco smell is very distinct because of the all the Taxi. After a while, and another pinch, I do get a hint of mint because I’ve added some Crumbs of Comfort. The overall aroma is sweet and minty with a nice tobacco flavour. I don’t mean sweet as in candy, more like stewed fruit. Problem with MG 47+ is, it’s very moreish. Once I’m into it, like now, I can’t stop. The nicotine hit is above average and every pinch leaves a very nice, soft “after burn”. Funny enough, it’s not cloggy at all, does make my nose run a bit but that’s OK because once I had a good blast, I can just continue. The texture, once again because of all the Taxi, is coarse and it does tend to drop out of my nose. But I don’t worry about that, I go outside on the lawn and just have my way with this wonderful stuff, scooping lots and lots out of my Patrick box!!! It’s NICE. I LOVE SNUFF Regards Pieter
I’ve now got to find a new name for MG 47, something like MUBAR…Mixed Up Beyond Any Recognition. I kept on adding more and more snuff until I now have what I believe to be African Jewel. It’s sweet, like honey, with a very good after glow. One can still recognise the menthol - O&G and Toque - but very far off. Peppermint also shines through if you really “look” for it. Because of all the Taxi in there, it’s also got a nice tobacco flavour in the background. It’s still moist, also due to the Taxi and because I keep it in a glass jar with screw on lid. But, unlike Taxi, the snuff sits snuggly in my nose. I’ve finished off a Patrick Box (will this become our standard snuffbox measure?) today!! Very moreish, no clogging and soft on the nose. Problem is, I have NO idea of what’s in it as far as quantities are concerned. So I will never be able to repeat this operation. I’ve weighed an identical, empty jar and then my snuff containing jar to see how much of this concoction I have…287grams of pure gold!!! That’s 11.48 25g tins. Should last me a while.
SnuffPM, here is my effort to mix my own. At present I have a total of 54 different snuffs in there and…I often finish a Patrick box in one day. I won’t even try to describe the taste…IT’S AWESOME !!! I take HUGE pinches of this mix, it’s perfect
Pieter, do you drink a lot…no, seriously, I mean A WHOLE LOT… :^O …ROFL!!! I enjoy your sense of humor very much!!! But, there is a lil known fact that I fear you may not be aware of. Albert Einstein was looking for ‘just’ that right ingredient to make his E=MC2 thing-a-ma-bob work. He noticed one night, as he turned out the lights, that the tobacco jar, where he always threw his last crumbs of pipe tobacco, was glowing. Well, the rest is history, as they say. POINT IS: You might ought to check your ‘Fifty Four Snuff Mix’ in the dark, or else………….*BOOM*…….ROFL!!! Thanks for calling my attention to this thread Pieter, I shall keep an eye on it, and on you too - I’m scared now…LOL!!! ;^) LORD BLESS!!!
Maybe we should all go for it!
