IHT No 22 is awesome. I’ve tried several other toasts and scotches but they’ve all had a slight ‘off’ note to my taste. After reading this thread I went to get 10g to see if it was as good as I remembered it being and it is.
There was recent talk of a varitation of method. What i do for all fine snuffs is lightly coat the tip of one finger, bring it to the nostril and sniff. As long as you do very tiny amounts, it is very hard to over do it. I end up coating my finger tip about six or seven times before im done. I have also been steadly increasing the amount i take at once. This has really opened the world of fine grind snuffs to me.
For toasts, my favourite is a 50/50 mix of F&T and SG.
o.k. I can admit it now I really really didn’t like the almond toast. It did not agree with my sense of smell in any way at all. I found it really gross. Not a poorly made snuff but didn’t agree with me. Funny love toque think they’re great yet they’ve made a few of my unsnuffables. Whiskey and honey is a favorite of mine however.
Only had one toast I hated and I’am not allowed to talk about because someone will probably kill me if I do.
I love the almond toast ,And can’t wait to get the bumped up version. Just goes to show every nose is different. I read a lot of reviews and everyone is someones opinion. Some snuff I hated ,I have grown to love. The great snuff makers been around for hundreds of years and the new kids on the block are doing a great job competing with giants. Now if only Sara lee made snuff. Everybody don’t like something but nobody doesn’t like Sara Lee
It’s not the front scent of it that I don’t like it’s the back scent. Oh man when that hits it’s horrible to me. Though I found a little vanilla mixed in kills the back scent, but…
I misread this as ‘onions on toast’ which sounds lovely, maybe with sliced frankfurters and mustard.
WoS No 22 is my favourite snuff. I read somewhere that it may not suitable for beginners, so I ordered a tin immediately 
The first pinches were appalling (tears in my eyes, the snuff went into my throat, my nose started to flow…) so the first encounter was a real bust in the nose (but I felt something wonderful in that moment as well). Two days later I filled my Posh bullet with it again (I am a stubborn guy), and realised that my strong sniffing was the problem earlier. I have to sniff it calmly, and the experience will be perfect. I tried several types of snuff so far, but none of them give me this perfect enjoyment. Now No 22 is my every day snuff, and I think I should try other toasts as well.
Almond toast is the cat’s meow.
Lime toast is the Lions roar.
W&H is the tigers growl
Natural Toast is the tortoises hiss ;-). In a good way like lol. I own a tortoise. Stefan
I’m very fond of my tin of Tranter’s #21. Very buttery and smooth; less nut/almond than #22/HDT and none of the bergamot and citrus that Wilson’s #20 has.
Thanks guys for your opinions. I’m yet to try all of the recommendations but I’m happy to take my own time on that. It seems that you all had an awful lot to say about toasts! The ones I’ve tried and enjoyed are Toque’s Natural Toast, WoS #22, Toque’s and Toast and Marmalade. I tried Toque’s Lime Toast and thought it tasted like disinfectant! The lime flavour is overpowering. Not to my liking! Sorry. On my next order from Toque will be Bourbon, Whiskey and Honey and that new one, Almond Toast. I think I’ll give F&T HDT a go. With that many mentions it can’t be bad! Thanks
Have some IDL (Irish D Light) 22 on order so may give an opinion after comparison. F&T is good for me also. Think I will have an IDL just now in fact since you mentioned it.
@heluvagi Perhaps you should let it breath if really fresh. Try again after a few minutes.
This may get rid of the “disinfectant” smell which is actually a good thing. Indicates freshness.
@Heluvagi I do really like the Wilson’s 22 and it is on my “A” list. Hard to compare as my IDL (Irish D Light) is quite nice also. IDL is a very fine grind. Be aware !
I did not like the scent of Lime Toast either but after a few seasons the scent has faded into something quite nice.
Lime Toast reminds me(somehow) of Saddle Soap. Days gone by of polishing tack at the Horse Shows.
