I’ve just partaken of my first Schmalzler, Poschl Schmalzler ‘D’ Dopplearmoa. Wow, like snorting a very rich banana fruitcake!? Very coarse and moist. I followed the advice of other forum members and gave my nose a little pinch post sniff to keep it from falling out and it seems to have done the trick. Long lasting scent, slightly cloying but overall very nice.

Many of the schmalzlers are rather fruity, although not all of them. I personally prefer the Bernard’s ones, simply because the Pöschls, though delicious, tend to clog me instantly.

I got a bit of nose run, but wasnt toooooo bad. I will be on the bernards next. I do love the picture of the happy looking German snuffing fellow on the little blue and red bag!

Welcome to the club. Schmalzler’s are wonderful. I like Poschl because of their fruitiness. I didn’t think I would at first but they are great. Try the Perlesreuter and the Sudfruct. Bernard’s is my favorite though, it’s true. But you simply must try their non-schmalzlers as well. Cardinal and Virgine are sublime.

I love em all. I enjoy the coarseness.

Mmmmm… Sudfrucht. If Homer Simpson was a snuffer, he’d be all over the Sudfrucht lol In fact, I’m gonna have some right now.

I have yet to be blessed by the grace of a schmalzler. -Kidnapper

Im thinking of ordering some of these kinds of snuffs in the future, never had a chance to try em and its nice to see that nicrush has sooo much snuff. Last time I ordered they had hardly anything, its been some time, now they are freaking huge.

OK that does it. I just ordered some Bernards Klostermischung.

k5btp, Klostermischung is my favourite schmalzler. Heavenly stuff!

Yes, I second that - Klostermischung is wonderful. Harder to keep in the nose than any others though.

I’m out of Schmalzers now and miss them terribly with my stout. Brasil Feinst is my favourite.

Im amazed at the amount I have to use, but once your nose warms it through its delicious

I thought I read that Klostermishung was not a “true” schmalzer?

I think it’s a Halb-Schmalzler.

that would explain the differences between it and the other schmalzlers.

I think I am officially addicted. Klostermischung is almost gone and I have 100g of Poschl Schmalzler D on the way!

Klostermischung is wonderful snuff really. i have hundreds of grams of schmalzlers in my snuff cache.

another plus here for bernard over poschl

I love Bernards, Zweifacher when I want a lil menthol. Aecht Altbayerischer Schmalzler the rest of the time. I love it so much I try not to use it all the time so it retains its effect on me lol. I always have a Schmalzer with me when Im at the movies too, I love it. Kick back and watch a flick. Keeps my movies snacks to a min too,

@ Filek: at the end of the day I have to say no. Bernards is, imo, superior to Sternecker. Not that sternecker isn’t great - it’s just too subtle for my tastes. how’s that for audacity? hahaha!

Bernards is the best, but those little (read expensive) 10 gram tap boxes are a killer. It doesn’t take but a day or two to go through one. That is why I use more Poschl. 100 gram bags are necessary if you are going to use it like a schmalzler should be used. Sternecker is good too, but I’m not too fond of their Staubinger.

Every rose has its thorn, as they say, and that is Bernard’s thorn.

Indeed. I would like to see Bernard’s also sold in 100g bags.

I have Brasil Feinst in 100g heat sealed foil bags… It seemed like a good idea to stock up when it looked like they were going out of business a few years ago. Glad I did even if they didn’t.

You mean you have 5 of the 20g foil bags? Or was it sold in a big bag before?

No, I have 9 or 10 of the big 100g bags/pouches. They haven’t been available for a couple of years now. The snuff keeps perfectly in them. I’ll take a pic shortly. I still have a few of the foil wrapped 20g cubes as well

Wow. They should really reintroduce those. It would make economic sense for the customer and the company. I would rather buy one of those than 10 disposable tap boxes, which are - no doubt, costly to produce. Well, I wouldn’t dispose of all of them. I would keep a few on hand to refill until I replace them with a proper schmalzler bottle.

The best of it was how cheap they were - just €3 or €4 each. I do indeed keep a proper Schmalzler bottle topped up from one of them.
