I just opened this one from my last order. Oh My God!!! This one is wonderful!! I love their Black Rapee and Black Coffee seems to have the same tobacco as a base with a finer grind that I wish Black Rapee had. It is less smokey and adds a great coffee flavor. I wish I had opened this over a week ago when I received the order. I had tried toque espresso and WOS coffee and cream this is the best coffee flavor and a wonderful tobacco. Do they have any other snuffs that use this tobacco as a base?

SG Black Coffee is one of my personal favorites as well. I have to use restraint with this one or it would be gone in a flash. I intend to stock up well on this one on my next order. I don’t know that I would compare the base tobacco to Black Rappee however. BR is definitely darker and moister and I don’t get the same base aroma from BC as I do from BR; I love both quite a bit though. I haven’t had all of SG’s offerings yet, but I have yet to come across another that has the same base tobacco as BC. It is my understanding that this is the same snuff as SG makes for another company under another name, so perhaps this particular base tobacco is unique to BC. One thing I love about BC is that I seem to get a caffeine kick on top of my nicotine fix. This could just be a figment of my imagination but either way it makes it that much more appealing.

I love SG Black Coffee too. Great rich base tobacco and excellent coffee flavor. I’ve been taking this to work with me for the last week and I can’t get enough of it. It is so good for me that I find that I am drinking much less coffee at the office.

Snuff Store Cafe Noir is a great coffee snuff too.

“I don’t know that I would compare the base tobacco to Black Rappee however. BR is definitely darker and moister and I don’t get the same base aroma from BC as I do from BR;” @Mr. Nose I get the impression that the same tobacco is used. It has a different grind and I think Black Rapee is exposed to peat smoke in some way like the grain is with an Islay Scotch. It wouldn’t be the first time I was wrong, but it is close enough that it is much of what I have been wishing for since I first tried Black Rapee and found that it was a process to keep it in my nose due to the grind. Coffee flavor is a great bonus.

are the samuel gawith 25g tins the same as wilsons ??

SG’s 25g tins are vacuum sealed and larger than WoS’s 25g tins; they are shaped more like a snus or moist oral snuff can. SG snuffs tend to be of a coarser and moister or fluffier variety than WoS and therefore take up more space. The vacuum seal is also something to be admired. It is really a shame more companies don’t utilize similar packaging methods.

Meanwhile I really really love this snuff, although I drink more tea than coffee. But the aroma is like you go into a Starbucks shop. I don’t get any caffeine kick, but a wonderful smell. And after this initial coffee or espresso aroma leaves, I got a long standing beautiful smell of pure tobacco in my nose. Really like it.

I am on my first tin on this as of yesterday, and it is pretty damn good.  My favorite so far of the dark snuff variety.  Is this the same tobacco base as the plain gawith snuffs (scotch black)?  I like that one as well.  Must me latakia.

I find S.G Black Coffee and WoS coffee cream like two exellents, but différents, ground coffees translated on Snuff.

The two are results of a fine blend on emblématics products.

Slight edge goes to WoS coffee cream over SG black coffee. The intensity of the latter is a double edged sword as I think the former is more suited to blending with other base tobaccos.

Love the SG black coffee straight all the morning .Mixed with Paul gotard Irish Cream to finish off lunch   

Is Black Coffee a more coarser grind? I cant stand toasts and fine grind snuffs and I want to put in an order of british snuffs that I dont have to be careful with sniffing, i had that problem with quite a few toques

Coarser and moister than toast. You will stand it.

Thank you

SG BC is a good introduction to British snuff as is Vanilla. Graduate to WoS SP, Tom Buck and similar products and then finally to F&T HDT.

I am a fan of SG BC too. Since SG is one of my favorite firms, i am always happy when i can try the next snuff from them i dont know and even better when this encounter turn out to be as good as BC. Go, go Samuel !!!

This one has only just clicked with me. There is a certain sweetness in the coffee aroma that somehow doesn’t really appeal to me most of the time (I only drink black unsweetened coffee), but having been on it all day today has given me an appreciation for it. If anything, the base tobacco is very nice and the fluffy texture is great.

I’ll have to have a word with Kris at The Black Swan Shoppe and get some of this. I’m seriously getting into the SG snuffs at the moment, I’m yet to be let down.

@talljim I am in the same boat, I ordered several in my last order and just ordered some more Kendal browns and honey. I get some nicotine from them but occasionally require a pinch of a toast or toque quit. The coarse dark snuffs have all been great same with the apple I bought. I may have to declare them my favorite snuff manufacturer. Are there any places that ship bulk Samuel gawith to the u.s.

Dave at Mr. Snuff can.  Just contact through the homepage.  SG seems to be pretty lax with delivery times though, took them about 5 weeks to get my order to Dave while GH took less than 7 days to deliver their product.  It is for this reason that Dave doesn’t offer SG of GH bulk products normally, the mills can take far longer to fill an order than WoS does and people have a bad habit of being impatient.  Cost me about $35 for 260g of SG Red Crest, plus shipping.

I always buy the SGs at http://www.mysmokingshop.co.uk

They deliver fast and fresh (to Germany) and ship worldwide.

My Smoking Shop won’t ship to the US

I was looking at mysmoking shop last night and unfortunately they will not ship tobacco products to U.S.

SG bulk can be ordered from snuff.me.uk, and they will ship to the US.

@n9inchnails Agreed. I love the Snuff Shops Cafe Noir…wonder who makes it? I just don’t get on with the finer grind snuffs ie; SG’s Tom Buck and Queens are beautiful aromas but block my nose immediately and give me “cold” like symptoms…never used to, so I tend to stick to more moister, medium grind now. Appreciate any suggestions for another medium grind to try. Happy New Year all!! (belated )

@n9inchnails I would say for a coarser grind Samuel Gawith is a good choice.  You may like the vanilla, the flavor is good and the snuff is easy on the nose.

@tybalt Interesting, Snuff.me.uk often only sells snuff in tap boxes, but they sell a 250g drum off SG

@Kayjay777, try SG London Brown. It is one of my favorites. Course grind, nice nic hit and great plain tobacco scent.

Coffee and tobacco are a match made in heaven. Even if you don’t put enough coffee in to make it smell like coffee, you can get it smelling like chocolate, berries, vanilla and on and on. Fantastic ingredient, very easy to work with if you get the bean and quantity right. I hope you try some Abraxas Club at some point.

@Nachman Thanks I will

ah touch of coffee should have read that before my semi-review/

Samuel Gawith Black Coffee is superb snuff, worth all the praise here. Excellent balance of base tobacco and coffee scent. And coffee scent is one the best there is in the whole scentoversum!

I am revising my earlier opinion. This is a fantastic snuff, it has been my mainstay over the last weeks. Anytime, any place.
