Plain tobacco snuff

I got my hands on some OM PVT and Perfecto. Those are my first tobacco only snuffs. Are other plain snuffs similar to any of those? Or is it because chef Daniel just made some really good snuff? Any other good plain tobacco snuff recommendations?

So many! Havana Toast, HDT, Dholakia White, Viking Dark would make a good little sampler.

@JakartaBoy I’ve had my eye on dholakia white and HDT. Thanks both for recommendations.

I’ll add two:
Toque Natural Toast.  I love it!  So buttery and yummy.
SWS Lundy Foot, if you’re feelin’ fancy.  :wink:

@n9inchnails Is Toque Quit seriously plain tobacco?!  I almost can’t believe it. My Quit smells like sarsaparilla or molasses to a level that makes me sure it’s scented.

I’m a huge fan of Sam Gawith Black Rappee. 

Just tobacco and salt.

Quit is definately plain tobacco, your tin might have been contaminated by a nearby snuff or it could just be too fresh and the ammonia is messing with your nose.

I second the Toque Natural Toast, my favorite except for that heavenly PVT!

I’ll second the Viking’s already listed and also add Thor’s Hammer … really nice stuff.

Those are all fairly moist and easy to take.  For something dry and fine, the HDT is delicious.  Also, for a more musty / savory scent Old Paris is really nice.

Desert Campfire is pure tobacco also, btw … Dark Fired and Dark Air Cured leaf.  I’m working on a pure Burley blend right now as well that I hope to be ready for Thanksgiving.

Thanks for the info. @cobguy, I forgot about yours. I figured it was plain tobacco. I was thinking of plain tobacco that wasn’t a scotch or scotch inspired in the case of desert campfire. Let me know, I’m interested in some more of your blends.

Toque Quit, Toque natural, 41 Photo Lilly Natural (new favourite), 6 Photo Golden Natural and F&T High Dry Toast are top quality in my personal opinion.

SG Silky Dark is very plain, very wonderful and, sadly, very much used up till my next order comes through. Identical to Viking Dark as many here will tell you, though I have no personal experience. It also works well as a neutral but potent stiffener for other SG darks if required.

My current favorite even though its probably not considered a plain snuff is F&T HDT also another good one that is a true plain snuff is the Samuel Gawith Blue Crest, i can take huge pinches of the blue crest its a very good beginners snuff in my opinion (super easy to take).

I am not sure if this is a plain tobacco snuff like all of the other Vikings mentioned. Although Viking Dark is absolutely incredible! I cant believe I have just gotten around to it, due to some reviews claiming it smells like Viking Brown. It has the same base as Viking Brown and Viking Thors Hammer, although is strongly different. Dark has a stronger smokier earthy scent, while having Raw Olive, Fig, and Plum overtones. The snuff is beautifully and delicately balanced with a scent that slowly bleeds off after 10-15 minutes. This has to be my absolute favorite snuff at the moment and I do not see this changing any time soon. If you haven’t had the pleasure of trying this snuff yet, and you are a fan of natural tobacco snuffs do your self the favor of picking this up on your next order.

@Aamon out of curiosity, do you know how Viking Brown and Viking Dark compare to Sam Gawith Kendal Brown Plain?  (The unscented one.)  Or their scotch black?  I’m really interested in trying those, but if the Sam Gawith ones are the same snuff at half the price, well…

If you want to try Viking Dark without the premium price, get SG Silky Dark. Same thing different label :wink: there was actually a picture of someone who received a tin with a “Silky” label stuck on top of a “Viking” label. Viking Brown is supposedly KB Plain, but I don’t know if that is 100% correct or just conjecture
