Today I just received my assortment of NEW flavors from Dholakia. We have tasted the samples here and there in those little tubes, now we have the real thing, so what do you think? So far my head is spinning from tasting only 5 of them! Must be some nicotine in there… Mango Cream-Fruity and easy to take. Maybe a little too sweet, but a nice change. Maybe a pinch here and there snuff when you are in the mood. Blast Champagne Cola-Nice flavor and easy to take. Wish it was a pure cola flavor, but I like this one. Apple Pie-On the overwhelming side. More cinnamon and not really apple flavor. Not for me, maybe a holiday snuff for some. Gin & Tonic-Sweeter and more spicy then Bespoke G&T. I don’t really get the G&T flavor yet. Need to work on this one more. Lime & Lemony-Nice. Reminds me of a soda flavor somewhere maybe Bubble-up or something. Need to work more on this one too.
yeah, need some time to digest all of these (I have a half dozen or so). Shoving something different in my nose every 10 minutes now. Not the best way to appreciate them, but I’m too enthusiastic about all the new stuff I have. Give me time on this one…

I’ve tried a couple of the Blast snuffs,Brandy & Maple and Whiskey & Honey and while they’re good I don’t think I’d order them. Roasted Nut is pretty good,just kind of different. Lime & Lemony has been my favorite so far,enough that I ordered a 25 gr tin. I’ve got a couple more from the Temptation line coming that I haven’t tried yet,Grape Concord and Purple Passion.
I’m wishing I picked Lime & Lemony now, but maybe next time. Not being a fan of Fruit Cake, I didn’t choose that one either. I don’t have what I ordered in front of me, and they haven’t come yet, but I know/think I got Cola Champagne, Coffee Bite, Apple Pie, Orange Chocolate, Gin & Tonic, Rum Special… I think that’s it. These are the new Blast, Wow, and Temptation releases. Tom502

It reminds me of that Willy Wonka candy that is the full course meal all in one. Tom502
“Dholakia may have just invented the first, best hope for increasing worldwide snuff consumption. The breakthrough? Meal-replacement snuffs. Snuff for the 21st Century…Each of the new snuffs is unbelievably true to it’s culinary namesake, while retaining the rich and moist (and strong!) tobacco character of other Dholakia snuffs.” I’ve only sampled the Apple Pie. But I didn’t taste any apple or pie …they should have called it “Clove and Cinnamon.” Not much nicotine either, IMHO.
@ Z_2K: I definitely get the apple and pie sense out of it, though the spices are strong.
One’s gotta love that they never skimp on the flavoring, I’ve noticed since the 5 pack of Jewels from Mr. Snuff. I did mix some Toque Spanish Gem with some Mango Cream, and what I got was more understandably mango - cream. It goes a long way if you’re into that. like potatoes with some stew or rice with something else saucy.
I’m disappointed with the Wine & Cheese. No cheese at all, which is very unlike Dholakia - the flavours are usually spot on. I wonder if I got a mislabelled tin? I have a spare sample of Chocolate Orange if anyone wants to trade. Whisper if you’re interested.
The Port Wine and Cheese sample I tried makes me wonder…no each to their own, I won’t give my opinion on this snuff, people can make their own mind up, but put it this way, I would try before you buy as it must be an either you love it or hate it snuff. The Brandy and Maple was a good one, but again not my kind of thing, a bit too sweet. The Coconut Toffee I didn’t really like, but that’s mainly because I don’t like coconut. So, there you go, I won’t be buying any.
I thought the Port Wine & Cheese was OK. I also don’t detect cheese, and maybe that’s a good thing. But I think I get some wine essence, and that’s not bad. Most of these are “sweet” in their flavor, but I expected it, and I like them.
The wine flavouring was fine - I get that. It was the cheese I was interested in! I really wanted to try a sample of it, but kept getting Coffee, Choc Orange & Whisky & Honey, so I finally capitulated & bought it. I won’t say I’m sorry I did, but if I’d tried a sample I’d have known it wasn’t for me & got a different flavour, e.g I got Lime & Lemony purely as tom502 (I think) said it was his favourite. It wouldn’t have occurred to me to get another citrus snuff, but I’m glad I did as I really like that one.
When I recieved my sample of Port Wine & Cheese, I could detect the cheese. I’m wondering if the samples are a bit different than the finished product.
I don’t have a “favorite” that I can pinpoint right now, it’s just so much variety it’s hard to say. I did like the Lime&Lemony right off, I liked it more than Toque Grapfreuit, but I think Grapefruit has a certain acidic bitterness as grapefruit itself does. One of my fave new Dholakias is Coffee Bite though. I really was impressed with that one. Oh, I liked the Whisky Honey too. Now these are all still rather new to me, so I haven’t been able to give them each a good trial.
Unfortunately, having bought all the flavors or have samples of each, I have packed them in a plastic bag and they are moving to the back of my snuff rotation. Maybe once in a while…
Just had a snoot of the Rum Special and I’m a bit disappointed again; no raisin (as I was expecting Rum & Raisin as per the samples - which I din’t get to try but heard good things about - it seems very similar to the FUBAR Shot Of Rum to me. Anyone else think so?
Well, none of its my type of thing, flavours for flavours sake, each to their own.
I have the Rum Special too, and I thought it was pleasant flavor. I also have Shot of Rum, but I’d have to taste test them side by side to see. Now from these new Dholakias, some I think do stand out, the Whisky Honey I think is very good, the Fubar R&R is very good, the Lime & Lemony is very good, the Coffee Bite is very good. But I think they may be guilty of overkill with just too much variety. But while some may not stand out, or really live up to their name, I haven’t tried any that makes me go, “ugh, this is terrible”. As they all seem pleasant enough to me, to where I’ll snuff them. But most of them I doubt I’d rebuy, but the ones I mentioned, and a few of their others, Like Fubar Grunt, I think are worthy. But I currently have so many it’ll be a long while before I get to rebuys. The Brandy Maple was decent.
