Just curious if anyone has ever tried this. Looking at concoctions from locally available snuffs and debating a mixture of RR Mills Plain + WOS Menthol Plus. Ken
I thought about ordering some menthol crystals just for this purpose.
Starr Scotch has none of the BBQ flavoring and mixes well with everything. Adds a nice kick too!
I’ve mixed American Scotches with other snuffs (a little Garrett Sweet & Mild mixed into some Toque Chocolate is very good), but I haven’t mixed them with menthols yet.
Tried some navy sweet plus WOS menthol plus by just putting both on the back of my hand and it was pretty good. The experiment continues. Ken
I have a snuffbox dedicated to this concept. 20 parts Rooster to 1 part Wilson’s SM (You may want more menthol). The 20:1 removes the BBQ edge and “puffiness” from Rooster. Good stuff.
There used to be a high toast called wit and wisdom, I would love Toque to do one similar.
He could call it, pomp and circumstance.
O & G and rooster 50-50 is a pretty good mix.
I do not know if this is getting off the subject but try 2\\3 Bernards Cardinal with 1\\3 Hedges L260. Let mature for a few weeks and enjoy!
Yes! “Let mature for a few weeks” is in the Snuff For Dummies guide as well.
Pomp and circumstance would be a great name for a Toque menthol/toast.
Yeah, it’s a cool sounding name.
or he could call it wit and wisdom. Or wisdom and wit.
Well I gotta say, the menthol + scotch mix works really well. Had some navy sweet in a snuff box and it was running on the low side so added in a dash of WOS Menthol Plus, well got damn, I think I like this. Ken
being a newbie i find scotch to be a little hard to sniff for me; i guess my sniffing technique is not the best yet. funny i have no problem sniffing something like toque natural toast but the scotches always end up in my throat… anyway today i did a 40% CC scotch 60% Gawith apricot and not only that i loved it didn’t hit my throat either… this was my first menthol scotch try; by the way is anybody here getting apricot out of that snuff??? all i get is menthol with a hint of mmm hay maybe? hayish grassish kinda smellish lol… i like it tho… Ra.
With the Scoth/toast type snuffs you have to change your technique a bit. The simplest way I find to avoid getting it where it shouldn’t be is just to breathe in extremely gently as opposed to a sharp, definite sniff, with the finger and thumb pincj just slightly inserted into the nostril.
RR Mills plain + WOS Menthol Plus is a hit now as well. I did about a 3 to 1 mix in favor of RR Mills. Great hit, the menthol smoothes out the PN drip if it occurs. Ken
I made a small batch of 2 parts Rooster to 1 part Hedges and it turned out very well.
Just mixd up 1/4 WoS Honey Menthol to 3/4 Honey Bee, Will try in 2 weeks.
Bruton and Toque Menthol 50-50 is nice
Lately, although not a scotch menthol mix persay, I have been mixing Tube Rose with Toque Peppermint, typically a 3:1 or 2:1 ratio, respectively. I find it very enjoyable and a nice compliment. Ken
I just tried mixing 75% Superior Scotch with 25% McChrystal’s Sturco on the back of my hand. It was very good I must say. The Superior cut down the menthol blast without taking away from the nasal passage clearing effect. The scent is great as well.
I’m yet to be convinced of a mentholated toast/scotch. Maybe a should do what I never do and try some mixing. The idea of it just sounds wrong to me.
This had me wary too but I threw together 4 parts Bruton to 1 part Singletons Super Menthol in a smash box and the results were nice. It is easier to take than the straight Bruton plus it leaves a nice cooling tingle.
Isn’t Checkerberry essentially a medicated American Scotch?
Well I take it back. I did the mix. 3 parts scotch. Tops mild in this case. 1 part Toque menthol. Surprisingly delightful. Live and learn eh.
Isn’t Checkerberry essentially a medicated American Scotch?
No. Checkerberry is not a scotch.
Agree. Not a scotch. Medicated is a generic term. Its got no menthol, but has a cooling - clearing effect because mint and wintergreen have some similar qualities. so it could be considered medicated by a broad definition. I do, but some may just consider it “flavored”. Anyway, its not a scotch. A scotch is a specific type of snuff. A mentholated scotch is theoretically possible but Checkerberry is too coarse and moist to be in the same class as scotches.
