Nice review on the Toque line. Believe it or not, I dreamed of Toque last night. I could see the logo and everything (never tried it ). So I will place an order today! Thanks!

Roderick - Thanks for reading, the good reviews you, your company and products get are well deserved… Sprangalang - I too have had dreams where snuff was involved, lol… Chas , lofat- Can’t see you being disappointed in the least with your purchases

align=right[/align] [align=center][size=32][i][color=white]Poschl - Replay Kentucky & Virginia[/color][/size][/i] [color=white][i][u]Available at the following online shops[/i][/u] Rajek’s House of Smoke (Germany) - $1.44 Snuffstore (Germany) - 1,00€ TopCigars (Germany) - 1,00€[/color] [color=white][size=12]What to say about the Poschl Replay snuffs? The best way to start would be by examining the name, “Replay”. If you’ve had Poschl’s Ozona Cherry then tasting Replay Kentucky is basically a high definition “replay” of the Ozona Cherry. The same could be said when comparing the Replay Virginia, only this time with Poschl’s Silverstone Orange. What, you might ask is a “high definition replay”? Basically it is just my clever way of saying it tastes excactly the same with the exception being the flavor is much stronger and more powerful. With that said, the Poschl - Replay Kentucky snuff scores well with me. It’s flavor is similar to Ozona Cherry, only the Cherry flavor as well as the menthol seems amplified. I’d venture to say the flavoring used in the Replay Kentucky is probably double of what is used to make the Ozona style. While the Poschl - Replay Virginia snuff just has double of the very artificial candy like orange flavoring of Poschl’s Silverstone Orange. Not really my thing, but if you like the Silverstone, you would probably love the Replay Virginia. There are 2 more factors also that set the Replay Kentucky & Virginia snuff varieties apart from thier counterparts. The first being the texture of the Replay snuffs, which are much fluffier than that of the Ozona Cherry or Silverstone Orange. The grind to me seems much more like that of say McChrystal’s O&G than any of the previous Poschl offerings I have tried. Maybe they left the parafin out, which also might explain the stronger flavoring of these snuffs. The other factor is the packaging the Poschl Replay Snuffs are sold in. They are almost like miniature versions of a cigar case with a handy flip top. These fit great in your pocket and are easy to dispense a nice sized helping to the back of your hand. A top notch package for anybody to carry thier snuff around in. In closing, if you are a fan of Ozona Cherry, but wished it’s flavor was stronger and more mentholated then Poschl Replay Kentucky snuff is just what you have been looking for. If you can’t get enough of that unique Silverstone Orange flavor, then pick up the Poschl Replay Virginia, you’ll be in synthetic orange heaven. [/size][/color][/align]

Those Replay tubes are almost the same measurements as the tubes Roderick wants to use in the Toque line. The Replay tubes being 85.5mm x 20.5mm and the ones Toque is going to use are 88mm x 20mm. I also liked the Replay tubes and was glad to see that Toque was going to use this similar size tube.

align=right[/align] [align=center][size=32][i][color=white]Swedish Match - Rumney’s Export Snuff [/color][/size][/i] [color=white][i][u]Available at the following online shops[/i][/u] Rajek’s House of Smoke (Germany) - $2.59 Tabak Broker (Germany) - 1,80€ Snuffstore (Germany) - 1,80€ Tabak Heinrich (Germany) - 1,80€ TopCigars (Germany) - 1,80€[/color] [color=white][size=12]Packaging, that is what set’s Rumney’s Export Snuff by Swedish Match apart from the many other similar snuffs from other companies. The flavoring of Rumney’s Export Snuff is a pure English Menthol flavor. Strong menthol with a light citrus undertone. Similar to Wilson’s Menthol Plus, and Toque’s Menthol. This is the style and flavor of snuff I absolutely love. It is the unique packaging though that makes Rumney’s Export Snuff stand out. The container is plastic, but is made to look like wood-grain. Whoopee, nothing special here, but when examining the container you will notice in the lower left hand corner there is a blue colored circle and the bottom left hand corner of the container looks like it got chipped off. No need to worry, your container was not damaged during shipping. That blue colored circle is actually a dial which I initially thought you would need to keep in the closed position and shake the container to fill a chamber before dispensing a sized portion to the back of your hand. Thanks to forum member Lambchop, I discovered after he had pointed it out to me that there actually is no chamber which needs to be filled, simply give the dial a quarter to half turn to open the path to the inside of the container where you can now tap out as much as you like onto the back of your hand. In closing, Rumney’s Export Snuff by Swedish Match is a refreshing, light citrus - menthol snuff. The flavor alone is quality, but can be had from a variety of other more easilly available snuffs. But if you get the chance to place an order from one of the fine online snuff establishments in Germany. Take a chance and pick up a can of this snuff, if only to have a go round with this fantastic container. [/size][/color][/align]

Thanks once again for the excellent reviews, nice to see some reviews of snuffs only available overseas. Helps those us here in the states make some quality selections when placing those overseas orders with the huge shipping charges. Well done.

Thanks for reading BigSnoot, (lol, that sounds insulting) I really enjoy sitting down with a snuff and spending time whipping out a review. Since I just recieved a large overseas shipment I’m glad to share my findings with the forum. Hope they help make some decisions easier for everyone.

Lambchop you got me wondering. Upon my initial inspection I thought that there was an actual chamber that filled a sized portion, but after your post, I pulled out my flashlight and got a real close up view of things. Lambchop you are absolutely right. There is no chamber, rather turning the dial opens a clear path to the inside of the container for the snuff to be dispensed. I will make the corrections to my review. Thanks for the info…

align=right[/align] [align=center][size=32][i][color=white]Bernard - Schmalzler White-Blue [/color][/size][/i] [color=white][i][u]Available at the following online shops[/i][/u] Rajek’s House of Smoke (Germany) - $2.59 Tabak Broker (Germany) - 1,80€ TopCigars (Germany) - 1,80€[/color] [color=white][size=12]Bernard Schmalzler White Blue is a traditional German style schmalzler. What excactly is a schmalzler? Well in simple terms it is a nasal snuff that is produced using a complex method that in the end produces a very moist heavy snuff with a unique flavor. The schmalzler flavor for me is very hard to describe, as it is so unique I really can’t think of anything to compare it to. Basically water tastes like water, and schmalzler tastes like schmalzer. It is a flavor that has to be experienced to understand it. With that said, Bernard Schmalzler White-Blue does have the additional flavoring of menthol. The menthol in Bernard Schmalzler White-Blue is strong enough to give your nose a cool sensation, but compared to most menthols is extremely mild with absolutely no burn. I really enjoy the schmalzler style of snuff. It is so different from most everything else on the market that it really gives the snufftaker a variety other than just a different flavor such as cherry or rose to choose from. I think everybody should give at least one schmalzler style snuff a try and Bernard’s Schmalzler White-Blue is a great representation of the schmalzler style snuff. Rich, heavy and very fulfilling.

align=right[/align] [align=center][size=28][i][color=white]Leonard Dingler - Taxi Rock Spearmint [/color][/size][/i] [color=white][i][u]Available at the following online shops[/i][/u] My Smoking Shop (UK) - £0.99 [/color] [color=white][size=12]Variety is the spice of life is a popular saying, and with many spearmint flavored snuffs available on the market a snuff needs to be different for me to stand out. Leonard Dingler Taxi Rock Spearmint snuff is different. Different in flavor and grind compared to the more popular spearmint flavored offerings such as Wilsons Prime Minister or Crumbs of Comfort. While being radically different in both flavor and grind from the aforementioned Wilson’s varieties, the flavor of Taxi Rock Spearmint is a dead ringer for L. Dingler’s Magnet Spearmint. But as much as the flavor is the same, the grinds and colorings of these 2 snuffs could not be more different. While the Magnet Spearmint is a light brown, fine grind that is almost dusty after the clumps have been broken apart, the Taxi Rock Spearmint is a dark brown extremely moist yet fluffy grind. This style in my opinion will probably be easier on the nose compared to the magnet style. Especially during long snuff sessions. The flavor itself is rich in spearmint with that familiar amonia-like undertone Leonard Dingler snuffs seem to have to me. I enjoy this type of scent very much, but I could see why some people are completely turned off by the scent of Leonard Dingler snuffs. Getting back to my opening statement about variety. Although the flavor is similar to the Magnet Spearmint, Taxi Rock has enough different qualities to make it worth a try. Although if you have tried Magnet Spearmint and dislike the flavor, give Taxi Rock Spearmint a pass. If the flavor of Magnet Spearmint is enjoyable to you but the grind is not to your liking, then Taxi Rock Spearmint may be the just the snuff you have been looking for. As for my personal opinion, I prefer the dusty grind of the Magnet Spearmint, but It is variety that will keep Leonard Dingler Taxi Rock Spearmint in my rotation. [/size][/color][/align]

Just a note, I added a list of each of the snuffs I have reviewed to the first post in this thread. From that list you can click on each flavor to be directly taken to that particular review. Down the road this should help you find a particular review much easier. Thanks again to everyone for reading and sharing your thoughts.

Thanks for reading samorost, if you have the means, placing an order though Rajeks is definately worth your while. Such a great selection to choose from, unfortunately the shipping costs are high, so I try to limit myself to one order per year, but with that one order really stock up. As a side note, the high shipping cost from Rajek’s is not thier fault at all, it is out of thier control. But they do a great job keeping the prices of thier products very reasonable, helping to offset the shipping. If you catch things at the right moment (speaking of the currency exchange rate) you can really see the savings with a large order.

Yeah this morning would have been good since almost all the foreign currency was way down. It has since bounced back. The pound was down to about $1.75 and the Euro around $1.25. Didn’t last very long.
