It seems that everyone either loves or hates WIlsons of Sharrows Royal Geroge. I happen to love the stuff. What do you all think of it?

I don’t love it or hate it but rather its one I’ll pinch from on occasion.

Love it but it has been awhile so who knows.

Oh yeah! Royal George! That’s what I’ll have. With some Amaretto…Yum!

I like it, but tend to forget it because I have a large assortment of snuff flavourers. I think it is even better if mixed equally with F&T High Dry Toast.

I absolutely hate this stuff, its like snorting baby powder. Nasty, nasty stuff! Stefan

W is a baby and needs to take a powder He He Ha Ha Ho Ho

its best used a as a mixer, see whats in yuor snuffbox for my latest recipe

I must say I love Royal George snuff, it’s very unusual so I wouldn’t necessarily use it everyday but its nice to take every once in a while

Try using it to powder yourself when your going commando. 1985

I absolutely love Royal George. I use it for my Sunday snuff, having replaced the, in my opinon, extremely overrated and extremely boring Cafe Royale.

The last snuff i’d go to!

Great, but only occasional for me. Try some with Wilsons Best SP (George Best).

I LIKE Royal George on it’s own but I LOVE it as a mixer. I have Best SP and Tom Buck, both with a touch of RG blended in and it is very nice. @ Viking, I like the Cafe Royale a lot but I use it sparingly. That way it stays “fresh” for me. @ Snuff Head, I did not try mixing RG with F&T HDT yet. But if you say it’s nice, I will have to try it too.

I enjoy the Royal George. Not an everyday snuff and not my favorite, but it’s nice.

It’s like putting playdough up your nose…rarely go to this one.

I only use it when I have to clean the cat box.

Pieter - I don’t pinch often from CR, since I find it is perhaps simply not a very interesting flavor? (To me that is of couse) I made some mocca snuff myself, from Persian Esfahan tobacco, which I incidentally like better *lol* - of course CR is not a bad snuff at all, but considering the price, I still think it’s somewhat overrated.

I opened a tin of this a few days ago–I have to give props to nicotinerush.com for the freshness, it still had the ammonia undertone–(am I allowed to do that?) anyway, I absolutely love this stuff! This is one of the best things I’ve ever smelled, I want to purchase a crate of it and swim around in it. Wonderful stuff, as are all of the WoS snuffs I’ve tried. (okay maybe not the lavender so much, but maybe it’ll grow on me)

I think if you just dump all your WoS snuffs in a big jar together and mix well, you will have Royal George. When I was a kid, my friends and I thought we were clever ordering a “Suicide” from the soda bars at roller rinks and bowling alleys. Coke or Pepsi (or even RC in those days), root beer, sprite or 7up, ginger ale if they had it, orange soda, grape soda, etc all together. Yeah it tasted kind of like Dr. Pepper. Or Royal George. End result: fun once in a while, but not an everyday thing.

we call that drink “hi how you doing” I have no idea why. It just a strang elocal thing.

I think Royal George is a masterfully crafted dynamic blend. Highly aromatic yet not floral. One of a kind, not to be matched. It has nary a facet of scent I do not enjoy. Having it has only added to my pleasure of snuffing. I feel fortunate to have partaken of it’s greatness. This doesn’t mean I would use it all day. On the contrary, I use it mostly as a bedtime treat like florals, as a dream catching snuff. Cheers to Wilsons of Sharrow for this one!

I do love my Royal George, even more now than when I started this thread when I first started snuffing this time around. I’ve since gotten a 1/2lb drum of it, which was as fresh as fresh can be. I like to put a bit in a tin for a day or so before really digging into it, this lets the ammonia scent disappear, so I can enjoy it even more.

Royal George is unique and I love it. However, I see it and use it as a kind of condiment, like salt or pepper - a flavour enhancer. And I agree with Pieter; RG and TB are made to be blended together; just a little dab of RG in your SP is still one of the best cocktails, IMHO. As for taking it on its own, yeah, sometimes but it is a bit intense for all day use. If you like RG you may like ‘Otterhound’ (made by SG from memory??) - another high perfume snuff.

Perhaps i was too harsh initially. There are times when I can appreciate it’s unique qualities.

It’s not something I use everyday but when I do get the urge I leave a nice dent in the tin. I also enjoy Otterhound once in a while.

1 vanilla … Well here is my best guess. 2 tonquin … Can anybody replace one of these with something? 3 cinnamon … Or are there any other educated guesses I can consider? 4 clove 5 bergamot … Lets get this thing licked! 6 rose 7 cherry 8 almond 9 apricot 10 carnation 11 musk 12 violet 13 nutmeg 14 raspberry 15 orange 16 cardamom 17 neroli 18 lemon 19 anise 20 strawberry

I just had some earlier and put my thoughts on snuffreviews. I definately agree with: 1,2,3,4,7,8,9,15. Very likely: 13, 16,19,20. The rest are as good enough guesses to satisfy me. Good job!

I still think they just dump the left overs of their other snuff together. I need to get a tin of royal george soon it’s still one of my favorites. Yeah I like the perfumy snuffs a lot.

I just rehydrated a tonquin bean ovrenight in an empty Ntsu tub filled with water. After removing the water and bean, the tub is left with a very strong an unmistakable scent of Royal George. Mystery unravelled?

don’t forget the sandalwood

Well I just added another one to my wishlist. Sounds intriguing, and I have no problem with the perfumey snuffs either. Hm. Thanks!

one of my faves. does seem to have pretty much everything in it!

Just ordered a tin from MrSnuff along with my usual SPs. It doesn’t sound like the sort of snuff I’d usually go for, but it does sounds intriguing. The description makes me think of very old fashioned snuff use, like the F&T flavours, very regency almost. But we shall see…

Royal George kinda goes like this. Random Curious Person: So, what’cha got there? You: Jockey Club. Then when no one’s looking. You take a pinch of Royal George.

I really enjoy Royal George, but as a “once in a while” choice. To me RG is like a very rich dessert to be savored occasionally. If I used it more often, I’d soon get sick of it.

Does anyone else think Royal George smells like rubber? Like tires? Or is that just me lol . I just don’t know how else to describe that one scent I get from it…

Royal George reminds me of a mixture of Cinnamon and talcum powder.

Give me Cafe Royale over the Madness of Royal George III. At least Cafe Royale has some tobacco scent. Like King George, the snuff is a bit schizophrenic for me. Like some poor soul spilled the entire spice rack into the soup and decided to fix the problem by adding a bar of soap, a bottle of cheap gin and some urinal cakes. “Too many notes” as Emperor Josef II said to Mozart. “Just cut a few and it will be perfect.” “Which few did you have in mind, Majesty?”

Don’t like it at all I’m afraid…obviously I’m not liking the perfumed floral thing… It was like baby powder to me as well lol. I tried it over a number of weeks but had to discard it . Give me sg coffee and firedance any day lol

reading about this I have to get out my long forgot about toque crazy george

… Like King George, the snuff is a bit schizophrenic …

I had always thought King George suffered from Porphyria not schizophrenia.

Quite right. He did. Perhaps it is moi that suffers from schizophrenia. That’s what my other personalities keep telling me.

Hope they’re telling you good things, at least.

Just simple things like “take your meds” and " unzip first!"

Sometimes a man in his later years may forget such pivotal things.

Sleeping on the wet spot is one thing. Walking about with it on the front of your pants is quite another.

Hell, I feel more comfortable having a go in a random spot in the woods than I am in my own bathroom. Damn the military. I’m warped for life.

Could help. Maybe if I just put a portapotty in there I’d feel pretty comfortable. Nothing like the refreshing smell of piss, poop, and whatever the hell they use to ‘mask’ it.

I’d killed half of two different bushes my mother planted over that “pull” to empty the tank outdoors… certain institutions left me trained to wipe the seat, and the bush always proves easier. On Royal George, does anybody else find it strikingly similar to that pink Cherry Almond liquid handsoap used by certain establishments? To my nose, it’s exactly that.

being schizophrenic i may be hallucinating but to me the first smell i got out of it reminded me of dr pepper or mr pibb with spices.the send smell i got with my second pinch seems to be like a gram cracer or animal cracker kind of smell for the first time in over a year the smell has stuck with me for more than a few seconds. if my sense of smell was still like it was when i first started snuffing it would definitely be an all day snuff. im still trying to decide what of my menthol snuffs to be the all day. gletcherprise would probably be it if i could actually pinch it as  opposed to resort to box carring since it hits my throat like that which i try to avoid when using menthols, by far royal george has to be my favorite WoS snuff

Just took my first pinch of Royal George. I’m a fan of the creamy vanilla and sweet floral notes in it. Not for all day but a wonderful treat

Great snuff , I use it most every day along with a dozen or more different snuffs, G’Day

What a great thread. I’ve never tried it, ever. But today in the mail there it was. 25g tin. I’ll try it tonight to see if it 's a dream catcher!

It’s like walking into grandmas bathroom, mixing all her perfumes together, and suffocating yourself with them. Foul.

Apparently the old Royal George is back:
