What is everyone’s general impression of Samuel Gawith snuffs? Here are the varieties that I am looking into: After Glow Wild Duck Dark Cob No. 1 High Mill Banana Blue Crest Black Coffee

The No. 1 High Mill is superb in my opinion and I’m also very keen on the Cob Dark. Blue Crest and Black Coffee are good but I’m less enthused about the others. You’d be best off having a look at the Snuff Reviews site.

Samuel Gawith are my second favourite snuff makers at the moment, after Wilsons of Sharrow/F&T. Their No.1 High Mill and Black Coffee are superb. Their Wild Duck is good too, but a bit strange - a KB scented with peppermint. Their SP Scotch and Kendal Browns are classics too. Golden Glow is also a nice one. Snuffreviews.com has quite a lot of them covered.

I have been holding myself back from dumping my Wilson’s Peppermint into my big tin of Sam’s KB Special only because I have no idea if I’ll ever be able to buy another big tin of it. A peppermint KB sounds heavenly. I can imagine few things better, but then again I’m a simple man!

I am partial to their Irish D - among the best toasts made, imho.

Definitely Yay! They make some real good snuffs.

'nuff said. Some of thier flavors seem so unique. Should be a nice change of pace.

I’ve got a lot of snuffs from SG that I wouldn’t want to be without. Golden Glow, Dr. Verey’s Plus, Peppermint Gold, X Blend, Cuckoo, and Honey to name a few. I see Wild Duck mentioned here, and I just haven’t decided if I like that one or not. It is a strange snuff.

Here is what I ended up ordering: Banana Otter Hound Wild Duck No.1 High Mill Grousemoor Blue Crest Black Coffee Dark Cob I love the names that SG gives their products. I prefer the “fancy” names to just “Raspberry”. Cukoo sounds pretty wacky, kind of like Wild Duck.

After a few pinches of Cob Gold I had to resurrect this thread. I too like the “fancy” names of snuff. Makes me feel “fancy”, just like my watch and tiny spoon

I’m really enjoying Yellow Crest lately. Compared to Wilsons, F&T, Toque, and Dholakia, SG is poorly respresented in my collection. Slowly and steadily I’ve been getting more and more of them. They really need to expand their lame US offerings though.

Angels are singing with Honey flavor. Thanks.

I like their Golden Glow, Black Coffee and Dr Verey’s, Oh not forgetting Zip!

SG Black Coffee is heavenly, I’ve got a full tin and I’ve already ordered some more. Never want to be without it.

is the banana any good? i was considering putting that in among my next batch i order

I like the Banana. It’s the only one around (that I know of). I have 30g of it.

After hearing about their apple, that one is on my wishlist.

I have almost all the SG snuffs now, and there aren’t any I don’t like. Some of them aren’t every day users, but they all have their place in the lineup.

Some are a bit too perfumy for me, so I tend to stay away from those. A good deal of them are superb. SG has something for everyone, that’s for sure. They just happen to make the best fruit snuffs.

A definite Yay from me - I only have a handful of SG snuffs, but they are all very good indeed.

@ Carol, the SG Apple is DELICIOUS, you’ll love it.

Is it SG that makes Irish D Light?

yes

I have not taken to any of the SG snuffs. A lot of you have been the beneficiary of my trading out of them. I have another on the trades site if you want to expand your collection…

@ Bigguyer: have you tried Yellow Crest?

@Xander I sent it to you!

not me. I got mine from My Smoking Shop. Anyway, I’m surprised if you didn’t care for that one. Its the best I’ve had from them so far. Blue Crest is in second place. I’d get both of those again. The rest of the ones, were ok. Still have about 50 left to get though.

You still have 50 SG’s to go through? Yikes!

I’ve tried 8, and they have over 60 types, so more than 50 really. Wilsons seems to dominate my collection so far.

Ah, I see. I thought you bought 50 to try! I’m trying to catch up on Wilson’s.

This is what I need to round out my SG collection. Then I’m off to conquer Wilson’s. KB Plain KB Special B Menthol Extra Menthol Strawberry Aniseed Chocolate Carnation Jockey Club

@Xander Sorry my mistake, must have been a senior moment…

@Leman - Avoid the Jockey Club, it is scented like cheap granny perfume. Not in the same league as the Wilsons and GH varieties.

Thanks for the tip Sandy. It will have to be the last SG snuff I get now. I’ll probably only get it so I can say I have all their current snuffs. GH Jockey Club is fantastic

Up till now, I’ve only tried the following: Apple, Apricot, Black Coffee, Cob Dark, Jockey Club, Kendal Brown, Irish ‘D’ Light and Scotch Black. Black Coffee is my favourite and Scotch Black was the worst. Won’t re-order Jockey Club, Apricot and Kendal Brown, not because they are so bad but I’ve found better ones from other manufacturers. I’ve just now taken some Cob Dark…lovely stuff!

@ Leman I had some of the Chocolate in trade with another member. It was very much like Afterglow in grind and moisture. Probably the same base tobacco. I might get it again someday.

I was wondering which one was better. SG Jockey Club, or GH? Similar scents on both?

Only had Wilson’s Jockey Club here. Its good. I heard GH was also good but SG was not. I’ll get them all eventually and decide for myself.

Actually, I heard that 6 posts ago.

@xander GH snuffs don’t do it for me. They seem really sneezy and not all that good. I don’t see posts about GH much.

I have no more Jockey Club and have no intention of ordering any again. Just don’t do it for me.

I have WoS Jockey Club. I’ve taken 2 pinches out of it in 2.5 years. Jockey Club, French Carotte and Royal George are what turned me against florals. That is starting to change little by little.

@xander. Read Sandy’s post, too. Debated over whether to post my question or not, but decided to see if there were any GH fanatics who would rush to it’s defence. I guess not. Lol!

Nothing wrong with the Gawith Hoggarth snuffs I’ve had. Their Jockey Club will not appeal to everyone, but it’s a darn bit nicer than the SG version!!! Their CM is nearly as good as O&G, Fleurette is the most natural floral snuff I’ve ever had, Ambassador, Spartan, Western Glory, Jasmine, Mitchells, Eucalyptus, Sea Breezes and Kendal Brown were others I have enjoyed a great deal. The only one that missed the mark for me was Dry Orange, but it certainly wasn’t objectionable. I know there are a lot a Toque fans on this forum, but I would put Gawith Hoggarth several notches above Toque and may be even Samuel Gawith. You see for me, food and drink flavoured snuffs just don’t turn me on, whilst a lot of Samuel Gawith snuffs can be very over the top in the perfume department. However, SG do some very good plain tobacco snuffs. What I look for in a snuff is some intrigue, i.e. blends with some mystery (Wilsons of Sharrow do this brilliantly).

I’m a great fan of Gawith snuff, and particularly like the following: Camphor/Menthol (menthol not to overpowering) Dry Orange (interesting orange-peel scent) Kendal Brown (one of the purest tobacco tastes I’ve ever tried; I sense a good dose of Latakia here)

DLT, those are Gawith Hoggarth snuffs, not Samuel Gawith snuffs.

I stand corrected, and thank you for the heads-up. As a new snuffer, I appreciate your knowledge. Dwayne

DLT, with all the “Gawiths” who are/were involved with snuff, it’s easy to make such a mistake!

Anyone here have opinions on the Honey? I was disappointed with it, as I LOVE Wilson’s Honey Menthol and expected something similar, only to find it tastes NOTHING like honey.

Yes, I have an opinion on their Honey - I don’t like it. Has that usual sweet perfume taste that spoils too many of SG snuffs.

I like every SG I’ve tried. I think I’m up to around 30, and they are all good in varying degrees. But everyone’s nose is a little different.

I have not tried many SGs, however, the few that I have tried have been excellent. Needless to say, I look forward to trying some more. I have been considering designating a period of time where I get a bulk order of a vast variety of snuffs that I have never tried from a brand that has a large variety of different snuffs (SG, Toque, Poschl, Dholakia, etc.), in order to get a better understanding of what these brands have to offer. I unfortunately as a snuffer I tend to get into a rut and buy large amounts of snuffs that I already know that I like. Feel that this year will be one of great exploration on my part.

SG and Viking are wonderful. I have about a dozen 8 SG, 4 VK in bulk. want about another 8 in SG bulk, another 4 in vk bulk I really need to fix this. a wonderful company SG (Viking) you are greatrst please continue with you’re amazing snuffs * APPLAUDSSSSS * OSCAR DE LLANO (I BUY YOUR SNUFF AT MYSNOKING SHOP) both mysmokingshop and SG are amazing. keep up the amazing work you guys do. :))) thanks Snuffysnuff

Their natural snuffs are some of my favorites but I think their floral/fruity snuffs are totally disgusting for the most part. Their natural snuffs are so incredibly good, though, that Samuel Gawith is still easily my favorite European snuff company.

I don’t like their florals at all either, @horus92 but agree that their natural snuffs are excellent. I’m sure I’ll always have some Gawith in my stash. I really like SP Scotch too and have been without for too long.

So, I bought three tins. Been trying the KB Plain. I enjoy it greatly and love the rush. Then Black Rappee; much more mellow and easygoing; so much so, I wasnt careful and snorted into my sinuses. Then I just took some Elmo’s Reserve. ZOMFG. The initial rush and the flavoring of chocolate powering through and then settling down into a nice tobacco flavor. Easily my favorite of the three. I was told it’s basically powdered 1792 Flake. It’s amazing.

I am big on SG Toffee, and I particularly like SG’s Apple and Cherry among the fruit flavors. I use their Hazelnut often as a mixer - too cloying on its own but useful when diluted with less flavored snuffs.

YAY - Cherry, Elmo’s Reserve, Firedance, Celtic Talisman, Irish D Light, Scotch Black, SP Scotch, Honey, Vanilla, Toffee, KB Original/Plain…

Leaning toward nay on snuffs like Otterhound and Cuckoo - they remind me of a wet dog/dog deodorant.  I’m also not a huge fan of Mandarin, Gin & Tonic, or Banana.  Guarana has peculiar scent that I haven’t come around to yet.  

Yay ! Elmo’s Reserve,Firedance, Kendal Brown,Black Rappee

Yea I like the Elmo’s Reserve,SP scotch, Red Crest,Apple also the Bucks Fizz.I still got a lot more to try from SG.

My first SG was chocolate in a little tapbox. Nearly put me off the brand permanently. But the. Made a go of Elmo’s Reserve and more recently, Black Rapee. How nice! I think they’re a great classic snuff maker with some crap varieties but I think it’s basically really good quality. I’ve never tried the fruit types. I mean with with Toque and Old Mill, there’s not much reason for me to.

I really like the Viking Thors hammer and that’s apparently SG snuff at heart. Other than that I enjoy the black coffee and ccc. The grind of SG’s are great, so fluffy!

Yay! Black Rappee, the Vinking contract brand, the Crests, Gold Mull… In the pipe realm they’re demigods!
Am I the only one to say nay to Elmo’s Reserve? I’m not a big fan of KB either. The first is too one dimensional, the second has a mill and fermentation level that are not my thing. Anyway, even not liking them, their quality and value for money stats are great.

@MarvinLapsus - I believe I saw Elmo’s Reserve mentioned on the “what is the worst snuff you have tried” thread, so you’re not the only naysayer there.  I could see the KB too… I like it, but it’s definitely not an all day-er for me.  

I enjoy the pipe tobacco, That is top shelf in my book.SG makes so many snuff they do have some great ones and others that fail to shine. You can’t please all the people all the time. I am happy they are in the game sitting on the bench here, it be nice if they would interact like our other snuff creators do.That goes for wilsons also; You around @sharrow1? 

SG is my brand (including viking), I rarely buy outside of it. And even inside SG I stay away from the fruity flavors. I mostly stick to the crests, sp’s and KB. 99% of the time I either have viking dark, KBO or Elmo’s in my nose. So SG gets the Yay vote from me.

I like Almost all of there range , They have been playing around with there base flour for the last few years some good changes some Bummers ! Banana is my Favorite the older very dark version I think was the best but the new light fluffy brown is still good ! I’m down to about nine pounds of different batches and I’m waiting for two large tubs right now ! Only one batch I have received has had a noticeable amount of Menthol it is not a good thing but still a great snuff ! I have at least twenty five grams of every thing they make some were only pinched once ! If you want to treat your Schnoz to something hand crafted make sure you try yourself some Old-Mill it goes well with Samuel Gawith !  

@kurtsnose et al. - Is it just me, or does Samuel Gawith Banana have a distinct undertone of cloves?  It’s not bad at all, just different than I imagined.  Lately I have been using a blend of different snuffs that includes Toque Cherry, Toque Peach, and SG Apple … maybe I will throw in some SG Banana and make a fruit salad snuff out of it.

Samuel Gawith’s good snuffs are extremely good, among the best about. They have a lot of mediocre snuffs too but the good ones are off the chain. You can say that about any snuff manufacturer though.

@cstokes4  I got a tap-box of Scotch and I am not impressed at all, maybe it was just dried out, or I don’t know how to enjoy good snuff, but I can’t take it.

@yisraeldov I tent to try and stay clear of the tap-boxes. Unless its an paraffin base like Poschl it always arrived dried up and stale (or should I say it is never fresh) in my experience anyway. I’m waiting on MrSnuff to order back in alot of the Kendals and Black Rapee in the large tins they only seem to have tappers at the moment though.

@aamon, thanks, this was my first order, trying to get some variety, I thought I would like the tap-boxes, but haven’t had a good experience yet. One was broken and this one was dried out.

BTW is it supposed to be so dry ? 

I’m willing to give away if some one can send me some BTC for the stamps… 

@yisraeldov No it is not supposed to be dry. Scotch black is one of the most moist snuffs in the SG Line. NEVER buy tap boxes from SG or GH if you want snuff in usable condition. British snuffs are moistened with water and the tapboxes let all that water escape. Always get the 25g vac sealed containers from SG or minitubs from GH.

@sandwhichisles

Thanks, but it is just plain “Scotch” not “Scotch black”, if that makes a difference.

@ysraeldov Sorry, wasn’t quite awake. Doesn’t make any difference however. All snuffs in SG tapboxes bear no resemblance to the ones in tins. SG Scotch (aka SP Scotch) should be medium moist and fluffy.

Nobody tell me here they don’t have at least one bone dry attic dry snuff of the stale sort of the SG range(or other brands). Well stupid me several years back acquired some from Mr. S and didn’t realize the consequences involved in sticking them in the drawer in those crap tap boxes! They are done and have been for years. Still got’um,still look at’um, still shake’um and do occasionally sniff the openings of the crap tap box opening but very apprehensive about putting any up my snout. May try some non–scientific experiments to make it tolerable to consume(???) Or it can be easily adapted to be used as an insecticide. So there you go, it is still useful for something.

Well I say yay. Love the Elmo’s (doesn’t everyone though) KB Special, and some of their menthols are a bit different and enjoyable too.

In carp tap boxes-Nay! In my sealed glass jars or vac tins-Yay!

@nicmizer Good point about the tap boxes. Why do they even bother with them? ‘Even Wilson’s’ type tins are an improvement on the tap boxes

I would think that if any manufacturer were to use tap-boxes, they’d at least hermetically seal the whole box in a plastic layer???  As they are now, totally useless and wasteful.

I’ve always stayed away from SG tap boxes due to what others have said. I have not had issues with the tap boxes from Poschl.

For the most part , neither have I . 

I ve kept lil Poschl tins and taps for years with little change in the snuff  .   However , late last year I ordered a batch of Poschl Gawith Cola . I received pre- pre-TPD stock  which was all shot …dry , with no sweet flavour , even the menthol element was waning . 

It smelt a lot like feet …or cheese , to be honest . So far it has resisted all attempts to bring it back into condition  Even hydrated , the scent is borderline unpleasant . 

I intend to try all the foil-packed Poschls in the near future …probably from a German supplier . 

So far as Samuel Gawith goes , I  avoided their snuff for a long time …purely on the strength of my experiences with the rubbish taps in tobacconists  . I think that is a fairly common attitude amongst offline shoppers.  It’s only when I started on the tins that the quality of SG became evident . 

I love Samuel Gawith, but have also experienced a world of difference – A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE – between the tapboxes and their 25g vacuum-sealed tins.  Funny that they offer both the worst and best types of packaging, depending on size.

Chocolate, Kendal Brown Original/Special, Scotch Black, Black Rappee.  Those are the ones I’ve tried and enjoyed.

Irish D Lite smells fantastic but it stuffs me up so bad that I can’t really use it.  If it didn’t I’d go through it like nobody’s business.

The Poschl perhaps does better in tap boxes because with it being oiled snuff it won’t dry out as readily. Just a thought.

all my favourates Samuel Gawiths are all still out of stock from before xmas at MrSnuff i’ve been checking every other day. Hopefully it will be back in soon, I cant stand waiting.

Whither Sam Gawith?

I’d be interested in hearing more about the post-merger snuffs. There was a report on here recently that Black Coffee (Black Arabica) is significantly worse for the relocation to GH, but not heard much about whether everything else is as it was before, or what changes (grind and scent) have occurred.

@willynelson     “Wither Sam Gawith?” 

    
 They are in a small town called Kendal in Cumbria, historically Westmorland, in the English Lake District.
A lovely little town prone to flooding in winter, when it rivals the streets of Venice for beauty, and scenic views. 

My advice to anyone visiting would be to book early to avoid disappointment, as the winter cruises are very popular, and sell out quite quickly.

I’m new to snuff, but Samuel Gawith isn’t really *my* kind of snuff, it feels. I started with McChrystal’s O&G so I had the technique down for a finer snuff, SG it seems I had to learn all over. I got the FireDance, and while it smelt great, I felt it was too coarse and moist. It clogs my nose like crazy, while I can go a whole day with McChrystal’s without blowing my nose, SG feels like I can only go about 20-30 minutes so it doesn’t look like the kind of snuff that I can take with me when I go places. Some guy here suggested putting coarser grind snuffs in a mortar and pestle so I will try that, because I really want to make SG work since this is the only other brand I can get around here besides McChrystal’s, but for now it doesn’t seem like it agrees with my nose. Also since it’s a coarser grind, I literally choke on the drips despite the fact that I take very small amounts.

@DrOctagon     It looks like you joined today.    Welcome to Snuffhouse.   :-h

I took the other route when I started on snuff.  The order I took was Samuel Gawith coarse grinds, followed by Fribourg and Treyer ,  then McChrystals and Hedges.  All the time getting a bit finer.

The coarse SG fell out mainly at first, the F&T went in, in too big a quantity, and Hedges went up the nose, and down the back of my throat.

You are right, the SG stays in for about twenty to thirty minutes, and the finer ones can stay in all night, like a well banked coal fire.

I didn’t have the Snuffhouse community to give me advice in those days, and just stuck to what I knew until things settled down to the correct portions and what suited me.  I still have not got the hang of the very fine High dry toasts, so keep them for the occasional ticklish treat.

Persevere, and you will get there in the end.  Some of the other members here will no doubt give you some good advice, and assistance.

Welcome aboard.

@ArtChoo Hey, thanks! This seems like a good community, no doubt. It wouldn’t matter so much if I had different kinds of snuff available, I’d just move on, but I only have access to a few SG flavors and mainly medicated McChrystal’s since I live in Canada. Snuff seems like a good thing so I will keep at it. I’ve actually mixed some FireDance with O&G and it was a good mix, I got the free breathing sensation of the O&G along with the berry/brandy aftertaste of FireDance, but then I got greedy and added too much FireDance and it totally ruined it. As far as portions go, I use a spoon mostly. It’s this plastic little thing that comes with face creams, courtesy of my gf. It seems to do the job and I can eyeball a good portion, I think I take half a pinch in most cases. I’m not giving up on SG, my next purchase will probably be Celtic Talisman since I’ve read that it is a finer grind, but maybe I’m doing something wrong here.

It’s like cooking an egg… Depends on how you do it.

Hi @DrOctagon! SG makes snuffs of various grind, moisture, texture and density. Although drastically reduced recently, their range is still almost as broad as one could desire, from fine, dust-dry and low density pale Irish D toast to crumby-coarse, very moist and dark Black Rappee, some mentholated and flavoured snuffs included.

Any plain snuff lover whose nose doesn’t agree with fluffy, moist and coarse SG grind should try SG Red Crest. The grind of Red Crest is suprisingly fine, not fluffy and not cloggy at all. Moreover, it’s plain (absolutely unscented) SP-type snuff with appropriate dry texture and density. The grind is very atypical for SG, it reminds that of Wilsons of Sharrow SP line. Quite low on nicotine, though.

You can still find Red Crest at snuff.me.uk, which seemingly ships to Canada, too.

@nicmizer It’s always with the eggs, isn’t it? @volunge Hey! I appreciate all this information, but I got a very limited selection of SG available to me. I’ve got original, kendal brown, firedance, Celtic Talisman, and black coffee. Out of those, which one do you think will have the finer grind? As far as for ordering things go, it’s very complicated here. Cdn. Government absolutely must wet it’s beak in all things tobacco. The same tin of McChrystal’s that sells online for less than $3, I pay $26 at the store because of all the duties and taxes. They can ship anywhere, but a) they might not let it through at customs, and b) they will slap fines and 4 tins will cost me more than a $100. There’s also the possibility to get lucky and they’ll push it through but I never depend on that. I found a sample request on the Dholakia website because I want to try that white snuff, and even if I receive it, I’m pretty sure I’ll have to pay taxes on it.

Wow! $26 CAD for a tin of McChrystals! I thought they were pricey here at 3.50 GBP for a 20g tin. I hope a few orders get through to you unscathed to take some of the sting out of it.

@50ft_trad 3.50GBP? Oh my God, I’m crying here. I’m moving to the UK to keep smoking/snuffing. I always knew my addiction would take me to strange, dark places. It’s just like in the posters at school.

Ps: a tin of Samuel Gawith is $35 CAD.

@DrOctagon I would go for Kendal Brown. Well, it’s moist and messy when fresh, but neither as coarse nor as fluffy as some others in SG’s range. You can easily dry it in an oven, if you find it too moist. When dried, it can be regrinded with electric coffee grinder just as any coarse snuff.

You can check this B.C. (Victoria) based shop, special orders for some Wilsons of Sharrow snuffs can be placed there http://www.goodfellascigarshop.com/snuff\\_nasal\\_tobacco\\_victoria\\_bc.htm (not sure if they send snuff by post, though).

@volunge I will get Kendal Brown as well, then! I’ve found some reviews that say it is coarse, but I will try to make it work. Do you know if it is a good idea to leave moist snuffs open overnight to dry them out?

@DrOctagon      I just looked up the exchange rate for GBP and Canadian Dollars.  

The price you have to pay for snuff is atrocious.   You have my sympathies.  I thought tobacco laws were crazy in the UK, but Canada takes the biscuit.

We hear of people being mugged in the streets by evil thugs and heroin addicts etc…   Governments do their despicable mugging, sat on their R’s  from the comfort of their cosy offices.

That’s my rant for the day.

X(

@ArtChoo It takes the biscuit AND the oven, I’m afraid. I’ve had to switch cigarette brands 3 times in the past year because the prices kept going up, I only get to smoke my favorite Dunhills if I’m abroad. At one point I even considered smoking carpet lint. They tax the crap out of snuff just on weight alone, once they catch on to the fact that a tin lasts far longer than a usual 25-30g of tobacco does, I can assume they will either hire some sort of constable to go door-to-door and punching snuff users on the nose, or increase the tax some more. Personally I’m hoping for the former.

Wow! 35 dollars for a tin of SG! %-( b-( My usual supplier currently has them at 2.85 GBP. At the beginning of last year, I took advantage of a shop trying to clear out some stock, and got 28 tins of discontinued SG snuffs for just one pound each. I actually managed to secure quite an array of incredible bargains from various suppliers, including a bulk tub of SG SP Scotch for just under a tenner. I managed to bulk my stock levels up a few kilos, very cheaply indeed. Sorry to rub it in :-" We don’t have it easy on other tobacco products though, just nasal snuff. I’m paying around 6.50 for a 25g pouch of pipe tobacco, and I think the same in hand rolling tobacco would be over a tenner. Pipe tobacco is an “occasional treat” for me, and I don’t get more than 25g per month.

Are you sure you’re not rubbing it in? Because it really, really sounds and looks and feels like you are! I paid $40 for a tin of Dunhill pipe tobacco, and rolling tobacco depends… Drum is $30, and this organic stuff called Yuma was around $35. Geez. Who in their right mind hates smokers so much? What did we ever do to anyone? We just want to smoke. That’s it. We don’t want to start wars or kidnap anyone, we are the most peaceful demographic known to man.

We only want to kick off when we want to smoke, but can’t >:) Hmmm. Sound like you still have the rougher deal on other tobacco forms, but there’s a heck of a lot less of a difference on pipe and rolling. We are lucky here in terms of snuff, but I wouldn’t like to place bets on how long for. I reckon that I’ve got somewhere around 7kg (ish) stashed away in total, and am probably using about 10g per week at the moment, so I’m OK for a few years yet.

throw some elmos reserve in there

SG Firedance grew on me, I was actually upset at first because I didn’t like it at all. The aroma would end up giving me a headache and took me awhile to finish the tin. Wouldn’t buy it again, going to be trying SG black coffee and celtic talisman next time and see how that goes. 

Yeah here in BC around 35 after tax for one 25g tins and they supply WoS,SG and McC, it would be nice to see Toque here 

SG firedance turned out to be a very versatile snuff. I used it in several recipes, although the somewhat coarse grind either takes a little getting used to, or I just sieve it through a steel strainer. Right now I take it as is. Make sure you deal with a reputable tobacco shop; I got an old tin of Celtic Talisman, I’m talking like 4+ years old, plus the tin was compromised so it ruined the experience, which is sad since it really seemed like a top notch snuff. SG/GH in general is a very good brand. While their snuffs are subjective, as all snuff and tobacco products, they are high quality and the brand takes their history and craft very seriously.

@DrOctagon Yeah it was more the scent for me, the moisture was good and the grind I didn’t mind. Only one of SGs I’ve tried so far. Will keep trying

@baconpete if the scent on its own did it, you should’ve tried mixing it with something. In small amounts it gives a nice smokey berry scent
