I have been wanting to try Bruton and like Superior. I am wondering if anyone has done both to give me a feel on how they compare before I buy some Thanks
Those are the only 2 scotches I’ve had. They are pretty similar to my noob nose but I find Bruton a bit harsher, perhaps a bit more acrid. Otherwise I think they are pretty close in flavour.
Bruton is a little more “sour” than Superior. I find Superior to be more like Rooster. Bruton is also the king in the nicotine department.
They don’t call Bruton Brutal for nothing. It’s lacking in the flavour department but it’s one hellish powerful snuff. I love it. Superior is OK.
Thank You. I wanted a large nicotine hit without a lot of flavor for my experiments
Uh oh. The Mad Scientist is at work. I have a giant spark-gap and some dry ice, if you need 'em…
I want to make a snuff that makes you think “The Gates of Hell” like if it went any further you would be crisp (laughing)
I know someone with a wonky eye who’s really short if you need an assistant. I haven’t tried either, but Superior must be the best one, why else would they call it that? :))
I love superior because it smells and feels tobacco but I want to try something with more bite for my projects. If you like the smell of plain tobacco with a nice nicotine hit, you might want to try Superior
I do a bit o’ Superior every day. Reminds me of a hickory campfire before I throw the hot dogs on. No, wait. It’s like that same campfire the next morning, after the rain has put it out. Yeah, that’s it.
Honest is another good one along these lines that is often overlooked, probably a bit more scarce.
It looks like from the reviews that @Xander thinks so too
@cstokes4 Do you think the sour you were talking about is the taste of nicotine? I looked at the chart on Bruton and the nicotine ph levels were lower than most but the protonated nicotine (free nicotine) was higher than almost all other snuffs. It’s this form of nicotine that creates the addiction
Unprotonated nicotine is basically free-based. The alkalinity is increased to allow the nicotine to leave the tobacco more quickly. Various snuffs have different levels of alkalinity. I tried mixing a bit of baking soda with Bruton once, and it was a wicked miserable experience.
Bruton will be with me on the way home Friday. I need to try it
@MattheFox: I think the sour note has more to do with the process of manufacture more than anything.
Thank You Everyone
Damn, Bruton was only sold in the 4.65 oz cans and I couldn’t bring myself to get that much until I am sure. Bought Square instead and I am pleased so far
I wish I could get Bruton in that size.
There is (8) listed snuffs on Swisher Sweets site and I believe all are sold at the Food Lion. They also sell American Peach and one other that eludes me right now. It is my hope to get them to carry all US scotchs
