Review & Praise for Old Mill’s (chefdaniel’s) “Fleur de Cafe”

Well, this is my first post other than in the Introductions section, and I’m happy I have taken advantage of the Marketplace trading opportunities beforehand because last week I’ve come across an envelope in my mailbox full of handcrafted gems. For this review, i’ll copy/paste my comments to Daniel in a previous email. “Fleur de Cafe. To me, it brings up the theme “old moist wooden coffee shop,” with a lace of fruits. I can’t tell exactly, but my nose picks up a driedcherryish-chocolatey-muskyvanilla-darkcoffee-darkliqour (spiced rum) scent. After it settles in my nose I get more of a pruneish-date than a cherry, and i almost smell, more am reminded, this smell of split wood in the background. Hence, the coffee shop being moist and wooden. This snuff, I spent at least a good two-three hours on last night. After finding that it was the predominant smell in the package that was overriding the others, it was also the first I grabbed.” For myself, Fleur de Cafe has taken over one of my two daily snuff tins (the other, also now filled with another of Daniel’s). I’m impressed, and other than the limited quantities available, happy with what Daniel has clearly put much care into. Every breath in, i’m greeted with one or two of the many different aspects to this snuff, and unlike many of my favorites the scent hangs around up there for ages. Also, being graced with the rare chance as a newbie to get a whiff of Cafe Royale, while enjoyed very much, I believe the Fleur de Cafe takes the cake. Then, takes another. I traded a couple snuffs and few grams of St. Casura for an array of beautiful, vibrant, handmade snuff that I don’t ever want to be without, but may soon at the rate i’m going… Each one of them are now a daily affair. All must have’s in my book. Right up there with the best.
