Coconut oil is a bad choice, not real stable, but what a flavor!
yeah I had some still on my fingers (don’t cook and snuff people, o.k. I just put it on a bagel that’s all) and some random snuff and well it was awesome I thought might work well with this ungefettet stuff.
The word ‘schmalzler’ just means ‘greased’, so I guess any old snuff can be schmalzlerised. I would like to try this later on because I think I can get Butaris at the local store here in Germany. Anyone know what the fat/snuff ratio should be?
Sesame Bruton works. I will be trying butter schmalz next. I will also do coconut oil. From what I have read coconut oil is stable enough to keep up to five years before starting rancidity. Gonzo… it’s basically a moisturizing agent so it depends on how dry the tobacco is. The grind may also be a factor. For freshness sake stick to small batches. Drops of oil, mix, add flour (snuff) till it stirs loosely (or to desired consistency).
@Gonzo: I think the Schmalz to Schnupf ratio is on the first page.
Thanks for the report, Filek. I hope to try this soon.
I have to say that Filek’s Sternecker Hungarian Schmalzler is one great thing. I got a box of it from him last week and it’s a masterpiece, even compared to all these modern schmalzlers. Very nice, strong tobacco taste and the sweetness of the lard work very good. Excellent moisture and grind, very pleasant snuff.
Can anyone who has done this let me know what the ratio of fat is to tobacco - I want to make some this week as just received my pack. Thanks
1gfat:5gsnuff for the whole thing add 15-20g for 100g of snuff. Its funny this popped up here because I was just thinking the other day about how much I want this snuff.
I won’t be going for the ungreased, but I have to say that imho the standard Echt has the FINEST flavour of all the schmaltzlers I’ve tried. It’s a true classic and I don’t see how it could be improved.
dumb curious question how is the ungreased before you add grease?
@bob I was wondering the same thing, Ive always wanted a snuff that smells like a schmalzler but it on the dryer side.
Dry, not sure how else to explain it. Dark and dry.
How would this snuff be taken dry? Does it need the oil to bring out the scent?
