After only a month or so, I’m still pretty new to snuffing. So far I’ve not tried any toasts… I’ve tried and liked SG Irish D Light, It’s great. and also W.E. Garrett Sweet snuff, So… along that theme of things, I was curious what some of you would recomend I try next. Thanks
I’ve never had Irish D light, but If you like WE Garrett Sweet don’t hesitate to try the other sweet snuffs they offer. If you find the sweetness excessive I’d go for Tube Rose. Dental Sweet is similar to the sweet but is a maybe a tad less sweet. Personally my favorite plain scotch so far is Swisher Superior and with sweet scotches I like Honey Bee, Society, and Garett for really sweet, followed by Navy for a nice balance of sweet and smokey, Lorillard for woodsy and sweet without much smokiness, and Tube Rose when sweet scotches are too sweet but regular scotches are too much like campfire. As for toasts, I’ve only tried a few but for a plain toast I’d say Toque Natural Toast or WoS Irish no. 22. Toque’s Whiskey and Honey is phenomenal IMO and I’m sure others will back me up on that one. Toque Bourbon is a nice more sour W&H. toasts come in various degrees of toastiness. While the Natural and the Irish are a paler, almost blond color the W&H and Bourbon are darker than that but lighter than most other snuffs. This is why you might hear of High Dry Toasts. Speaking of that, F&T High Dry Toast is considered by many to be the best of toasts. I haven’t tried it yet but I can guarantee it will be recommended at some point in this discussion. This is just what I’ve learned so far. Someone else’s expert opinions will follow shortly
In my opinion Tom nailed it. I am not a huge toast fan but I do really like f&t high dry toast
If you tried SG Irish D Light, than you have tried a toast. Its a good one (but its hard to think of any bad ones.)
Dholakia Toasts come to mind as being “bad” …
Dholakia has no business making a toast ,yet alone 4; I do enjoy their other products ,Wait Fubar toast is a Dholakia product,correction 5. F&T HDT is great, Toque’s almond toast is my new favorite. and I bought the rest of their toasts on faith. All toast are not created equal. Most are enjoyable!
Ok, I hadn’t thought of the Dholakias but I have no opinion on them either, not having tried them. WoS No. 22 F&T HDT SG IDL SG Irish D Original (hard to find) GH Irish D Toque Natrual Toast are all fine examples of plain high toasts. Anyone of those is recommended.
Also try Toque Quit. It’s not a toast but it is fine like toasts and has great tobacco flavor.
So, thanks all. Tube rose has been calling my name… I def. Don’t find my sweet snuff too sweet…
I’ve tried about 20 snuffs and there are four that I can recommend unconditionally: F&Ts High Dry Toast and Old Paris, SG Kendal Brown, and Wilson’s Tom Buck. Can’t go wrong with these.
Agree with @basement_shaman Toque Almond toast is frikkin amazing. Also agree on the Dholakia toasts being not so good.
I recommend Toque SP Extra and Bernard’s Klostermischung and Zweifacher. Just remember to gently inhale…you definately don’t want to much of a schmalzer hitting your back throat. These are all increadibly flavorful!
