Forgive me if there’s already a thread on this, if so mods can go ahead and delete this one, but I did a search and surprisingly didn’t find one. So what’s a snuff that doesn’t get enough love in your opinion? I’d definitely agree with SnuffySnuff that Dholakia Black is very underrated. It has the most pleasant farmyard scent, I’m going to order at least 100g next time. The only downside is that it’s a bit messy in my experience, just because the black color is so visible.
Lots of them. One that comes to mind is Toque Peppermint.
I’ll have to try that, I like peppermint, is it actually mentholated or does it just smell like peppermint? Or does that question even make sense? Peppermint contains some menthol I guess but does it have a strong menthol note is what I’m asking I think.
One that I rarely see mention but I love it is de Kralingse Mettaijer, truly unique.

I just did Lorillard and have never seen it mentioned before It is a mild sweet snuff and doesn’t even get the beginners look
Great subject for a thread! I have a deep love for Toque Violet. @MattheFox: I would love to try Lorillard but have never seen it on sale in any internet shop (I live in the UK so wouldn’t see it in any shop at all).

@toffeenose Mr Snuff sells it under American Snuffs/Swisher
@horus92 No menthol in that one except for the innate menthol that is in peppermint as you note.
I am not telling, Next time I go to order, it will be out of stock!

I would give a great recomendation to Dr. Rumneys Exclusive. I recieved it as a sample years back from Nicotinerush, and it simply grew on me. 500g later, and a whole lot of little plastic smash boxes, i have made myself sick with it. For a couple bucks on your next order, it can’t hurt to give it a go.
I would say Dholakia Black. It’s almost as if it’s the little brother, who’s always in big brother Dholakia White’s shadow.

I like Toque Violet though I put it in a container with orange peels first.
Fubar Shot of Rum. The sauce in that snuff is a work of art which I would put in the top five in the world.
G&H strawberry. It’s a masterpiece. It’s natural strawberry scent with a hint of perfume. The perfume though seems to lead the nose on a tour through the strawberry scent giving it a wonderfull mecurial experience. In fact it’s the only strawberry snuff in my opinion that doesn’t fundementaly suck.
Though I’am going to say lots of times when a snuff is underrated it will get it’s day. NTSU was the bane of this list for years. Untill one memeber said it was good and people actualy tried it. That happens all the time. There are snuffs new memebers are raving about that a year ago only got insulted.
The M&W snuffs from Segar & Snuff in Covent Garden and the snuffs that they have taken over from the old G.Smith range. @Xander encouraged me to try the Jock’s Choice for which I thank him. It is a lovely snuff that uses Neroli Oil so it has an orangey aroma but not exactly a true orange aroma - you need to try it to get the difference. The Covent Cafe Royal is outstanding. It is produced by Gawith & Hoggarth - who I believe produced the original G.Smith Cafe Royal - and it is seriously good. As soon as I get my hands on some of the Abraxas Cafe 11 - I keep meaning to order but have been submerged in work - I will do a comparison. Having not tried the original G.Smiths version I cannot compare it with the original but @Abraxas reviewed the original on the Snuff Central site and it seems to me that the current version is the same - or very similar. I realise they are difficult to get hold of - although I believe that Snuff & Segar will be updating their website at some point - but they are very good snuffs. I shall be working my way through the entire range in the future and will report back. Usual disclaimers: I am not involved commercially - just a very satisfied customer.
Ventors.
a toss up… McChrystal’s Hops or violet… HMMMMMM
Toque Bourbon. It reminds me of BBQ even more than scotches do.
