Hi, snuffers, I proudly present you my first snuff and snus collection. Yesterday I received two orders, one from Snuff Store and the other one from Buysnus. I am still waiting for a new order I placed yesterday to Toque Snuff… hmmm, I can´t wait to try more Toque snuff. So far, I just tried Toque Chocolate, which IMHO it´s excellent, and Hedges The Snuff, which I like a lot. Snus I haven´t still tried, I opened two tins to smell it, but maybe today I will. By the way, Oliver Twist bits are perfect in combination with snuff. They´re tasty. The first picture is of the English Breakfast I had Tuesday morning at Morrisons in Gibraltar. I loved it!! The photos are low-res cause I took them with my mobile, my dig camera ran out of batteries. Enrique.

Looks like you are off to a good start, Enrique.

What? No black pudding with that breakfast?

No black pudding, hahha, it was a light breakfast. I had it at 10 a.m. and it really was my second breakfast that morning. I had the first one at home at about 6.30 before heading out. But after driving one hour and a half, my belly needed something!!

All good hobbits have second breakfast. They also have elevensies.

Oh, you are right! Is it so evident that I am not an Englishman? I tried to pass for one, but maybe in my long forehead is written “Spaniard”, hahaha.

needs more toque

And a nice cup of tea? I see you have a couple of tins of Wilsons of Sharrow. What could be more English?.

I see you have a can of Swedish Camels in the stash The joys of living abroad.

@Tc2642 Also missing the sausages, fried bread, tomatoes, mushrooms tea and the tomato sauce! mushroom tea? we drink that in the states not for breakfast though, it’s more for recreation.

Who has pork-n-beans and coca-cola for breakfast?

It’s baked beans over toast, Tom. The English way. Edit- My local grocer carries imported Heinz baked beans, so I might just have some over the weekend

Oh, ok, sorry, I’m not English.

Well, well, well, nice comments about an English breakfast. You snuffers must be a hungry bunch, hahah!! @tom502: you´re right, i should have had a proper English breakfast tea, but I was sooooo thirsty I decided on a coke. And, for all of you to know, to compesate calories, it was a Diet Coke, hahah!!!

A great breakfast AND a great collection! You know, I think us snuffers enjoy everything more … food, tobacco, tea, spirits, life … everything! Welcome, Enrique.

Lots of bacon, nice big eggs and delicious baked beans for the toast. Only thing missing is the pork sausage! I love a good English breakfast, always go to our local Spur for it. Enrique, I smoked Lucky Strike for many years and would like to know what the snus are like. Will you please let us know? You’ve really got some fine ( good quality) snuffs there. Enjoy!!!

Nice selection you have there, Enrique! Good luck snuffing and snusing.

@NelsonPipeClub: Thanks for your welcome. I am starting to think exactly as you say, I am enjoying food, tobacco, life in general a little more now that I see the light at the end of the tunnel, meaning that I am going to give up smoking for a healthier habit. @Pieter Claassen: I opened two tins of snus, elyxir peppermint, which I didn´t like at all, and general mint white portion, which I liked a lot. Lucky Strikes nites I haven´t tried yet, because I want to go slowly with snus, preferring mentholated first and then going with stronger tobacco flavours. Nonetheless, I have just opened the tin for you to see. I am quite surprised. The tin, couldn´t be otherwise, is very elegant looking, well made, and the portions are black, nineteen in all. I have been snuffing for almost three hours, so right now I don´t feel much like trying one, maybe later. I took a low-res pic for you to see. @AllanH: Thank you very much! Right now I prefer snuffing, but snusing has its own potential for me in the near future. Enrique

LS Nites is one of my favorite snus. Too bad getting them in the US is next to impossible. They are a little odd at first, but the flavor grows on you. After about 3 portions I started to enjoy them, a lot. The best I can describe them is great tobacco with a touch of eucalyptus.

Enrique, to me snuff is what I always want, but sometimes, usually when working - or my hands are busy, or when I just don’t feel like moving- snus fits the bill. Its a real workhorse and will make you forget about smoking for longer than snuff will. So for pure pleasure and immediate relief, its snuff, but sadly its not always practical and snus makes up for it. I’m sorry if the odd expressions are confusing, I don’t know if you have the same ones in Spain.

Xander, Yes, I have understood what you tell me. Up to now, it´s been ten days of snuffing for me, today I just smoked 5 little cigars, when two weeks ago I was smoking 20 a day. My first goal was to smoke 5 a day next October, so it´s going to be easier than I thought. Snus is for me, also, the second best option, snuff being the first. You can use any expressions you like in English, I usually understand them ok. My only problem is making some mistakes when writing, normally because I try to write in English as quick as I do in Spanish. We have similar expressions in Spanish, not literal translations, but the meaning is the same. For example, when you say in English “It´s raining cats and dogs”, we say in Spanish “Están cayendo chuzos de punta”; this last expression doesn´t translate literally as the English one, but the meaning is exactly the same. Thanks for your concern!!
