My Top 50!

There’s plenty of Top 3 and Top 5 threads, and of course the recurring "Pick One " threads. I never get chance to give credit to a lot of good snuffs in those threads, so to give a salute to all those that never quite make “the list”, here’s the big one - my current Top 50 snuffs!!! Fribourg and Treyer ~ Santa Domingo Fribourg and Treyer ~ Old Paris Fribourg and Treyer ~ Princes Fribourg and Treyer ~ Princes Special Fribourg and Treyer ~ Morocco Fribourg and Treyer ~ Dr. J R Justice Fribourg and Treyer ~ Kendal Brown Gawith Hoggarth ~ Dry Orange Gawith Hoggarth ~ Cherry Gawith Hoggarth ~ Wild Mint Gawith Hoggarth ~ Ambassador Gawith Hoggarth ~ KB Plain Molens ~ Latakia AO1860 Mullins and Westley ~ Mature Crumbled Mullins and Westley ~ Jocks Choice Mullins and Westley ~ Rumba Mullins and Westley ~ Citrus Delight Jaxons ~ English Toffee Jaxons ~ SP Premium Samuel Gawith ~ London Brown Samuel Gawith ~ Kendal Brown Samuel Gawith ~ Scotch Black Samuel Gawith ~ SP Scotch Samuel Gawith ~ Grousemoor Samuel Gawith ~ Celtic Talisman Samuel Gawith ~ Firedance Samuel Gawith ~ Vanilla Samuel Gawith ~ Hazlenut Samuel Gawith ~ Toffee Toque ~ Berwick Brown Toque ~ Blueberry Toque ~ Pomegranate Toque ~ Coltsfoot Toque ~ Vanilla Toque ~ Toffee Viking ~ Dark Viking ~ Thors Hammer Wilsons ~ Best Dark Wilsons ~ Brunswick Wilsons ~ Burgundy Wilsons ~ Irish Coffee Wilsons ~ Chocolate Orange Wilsons ~ Rum and Blackberry Wilsons ~ Chocolate Mint Wilsons ~ Thyme and Lemon Wilsons ~ Butterscotch Wilsons ~ Grand Cairo Wilsons ~ Queens Extra Strong Wilsons ~ Morlaix Wilsons ~ Spearmint Plus No schmaltzers, no menthols, no toasts, no scotches, and nothing oiled or greased. I appreciate this little list might exclude some people’s favourites, but these are the snuffs that keep my nose happy. Happy snuffing everyone :)>-

Thanks for filling out my next order sheet. B-)

Ha Ha! You’re welcome.

 I have a Sameul Gawith Scotch ( https://redd.it/5lki1n ) that I don’t like, are you interested in it ?

Thank you for the offer, but I stay clear of the tapboxes. Well it seems the EU TPD debacle has claimed several of my favourites, and of the Wilsons snuffs listed above only two haven’t been killed off. Thankfully I have four of them in bulk. Obviously we have lost Molens too, Morocco from the F&T range, and I fear the worst for the Mullins and Westley range. Hopefully we’ll not lose too many of the others.

I don’t think I’ve tried 50 different kind of snuffs yet. Im getting close though.

Good list, though I don’t necessarily like all of them myself. London Brown for sure, And Santo Domingo too. I’d be hard pressed to come up with my own list since my snuff taking habits are kind of schizophrenic at best! Oh yeah, I agree w/ your Toques, but I’d add SP Extra. And my list would have Tube Rose, Garrett Sweet, and the exceedingly rare Red Rose, which I have a vintage 1970s tin of.

I probably need to update this in a few months. 17 of them have already been discontinued, and who knows what other shocks 2017 may have in store. 50 currently available favourites might be a struggle soon. On a more positive note, I think I can now add Spanish Gem to this list, plus Western Glory too.

I would like to know your 50 least favorite snuffs listed in numerical order, to know where to keep clear off ^:)^

Try them all! Some of my most hated might become some of your favourites

BTW 150 is a measly amount compared to many members here, and I have very limited experience in scotches, toasts, menthols, schmaltzers, Indian snuffs, and many others - and still haven’t worked my way through all the UK offerings yet.

I was thinking about this thread earlier today, and I wondered if there was still 50 snuffs still available that I would buy (if I didn’t already have a 10 year stash). The sad answer is NO. However, I did identify 40 different sorts I’d buy from all the snuffs still in circulation. So despite the devastating effects of the TPD fiasco, if for some god awful reason I had to start my collection again, I would still be able to furnish my drawers and cupboards with a fine array of snuffs to keep my nose highly satisfied. Let’s face it, liking 40 different snuffs which are freely available, is not bad at all considering recent events. So here’s my new Top 40: 6 Photo ~ Anarkali 6 Photo ~ Kailash Dr Rumneys ~ Brown Fribourg and Treyer ~ Santa Domingo Fribourg and Treyer ~ Old Paris Fribourg and Treyer ~ Princes Fribourg and Treyer ~ Princes Special Fribourg and Treyer ~ Dr. J R Justice Fribourg and Treyer ~ Macouba Fribourg and Treyer ~ Morlaix Fribourg and Treyer ~ Bordeaux J&H Wilson ~ SP No.1 J&H Wilson ~ Top Mill No.1 McCrystals ~ Sicillian Burst (Mild Lemon) Samuel Gawith ~ Black Rappee Samuel Gawith ~ Kendal Brown Samuel Gawith ~ Firedance Samuel Gawith ~ Madagascan (Vanilla) Toque ~ Berwick Brown Toque ~ Blueberry Toque ~ Pomegranate Toque ~ Coltsfoot Toque ~ Vanilla Toque ~ Toffee Toque ~ Spanish Gem Toque ~ SP Extra Viking ~ Dark Viking ~ Blonde Viking ~ Brown Viking ~ Spear Viking ~ Thors Hammer Wilsons ~ Best Dark Wilsons ~ Best SP Wilsons ~ Gold Label Wilsons ~ Grand Cairo Wilsons ~ Jockey Club Wilsons ~ Rows of Sharrow (Rose of Sharrow) Wilsons ~ SP100 Wilsons ~ Tom Buck Wilsons ~ Wall (Wallflower)
