Anybody tried this? There’s one review on snuffreviews, looks favorable.
thanks ejacerooni, is there any chemical taste or is this really a natural rose scent?
Is wilsons rose the same as rose of sharrow? I have seen it both ways on various sites.
@ Snuffbox after you this time. I’ve never tried it, but just goes to show how the reviews can be. I gave a good review of GH English rose, then after getting down to the bottom of the container I went off the taste of roses, ant this snuff. But what I wrote still stands - GH English Rose quoting my review on snuffreviews “If you like roses, you’ll like this one” Could be I got fed up with the smell of roses! Back to Wilsons Rose Of Sharrow I may at some latter date try this and there is one review on Tim’s website >> http://www.snuffstore.co.uk/wilsons-rose-sharrow-snuff-p-273.html <<
Yes Jarhog, I believe it is. Wilson’s lists Rose of Sharrow on their website and price list and I don’t see any other rose on their list. Snuff Head thanks for your review and pointers! I’ve heard too many bad things about GH flavored snuffs to want to try it but Wilsons may be one I’d like. I did read something good about GH’s KB tonight. Have you tried it? Wow the review on snuffstore certainly makes me want to try RoS!
I must have tried ermtony’s but we have that many snuffs that we try, taste good but you need a day at least snuffing on one brand to get an honest opinion. It’s like going to a Real Ale Festival and drinking a pint of all on offer, then thinking what taste good, what was strong and what did your head in as you rise in the morning.
No the jockey club to me is like an SP with a small amount of floral or maybe sandalwood. I did not like the rose much but jockey club went fast. I used a 5g tin in about 3 days. I think the scent is clean and manly while the rose is just too frilly for me.
Rose lovers should try F&T Macouba for a real treat.
Thanks stitch, I may order a bunch of 2 ounce tubes in a few weeks. I’ll consider putting that one on the list.
I got my tin of rose out again. I think my taste has grown up a bit. This time it was not too bad. The scent lasted for a long time and I just felt calm and peaceful.
Ok now which rose do you have? SG or Wilsons or GH or…
wilsons rose
Thanks
Wilsons Rose is an excellent snuff. I too feel calm and peaceful after taking a pinch. If you like the Rose, you should give Wilson’s Jasmine a try. I think it’s a bit smoother than the rose. From my 66 varieties of snuff the Jasmine makes it into the rotation almost every other day. It’s in my top 5 for sure.
rose of sharrow is a good snuff, IMHO - a good strong aroma and nice amount of burn. One of my favourite occasionals. The Tranters brand is also made by WOS and they do a rose that is more or less the same thing, should you come across any.
leman, If you like Jasmine, you need to try QWS Jasmine. The best I’ve ever tried.
Thanks gents. I do enjoy jasmine also. Snuffster- interestingly I asked Wilsons if they made Tranters since it’s common knowledge they make F&T but they demurred. I suspected they did because many of the Tranters have the same names as Wilsons snuffs. I’d like to get my hands on some of their #20 toast I believe it is, the one Trout says has a top note of lime.
Yes the #20 Tranters is a great snuff. And cigar-connoisseur does ship world wide.
Thanks, Troutstroker. I saw their site but I felt bad about the idea of only ordering a few tins so I haven’t sent it an order yet. And I’m still hoping Roderick (hint, hint) will come out with a lime menthol and lime toast!
The only Rose snuff I’ve tried so far is DHOLAKIA Ganga and I love it.
