Lol, I love snuffing glass.
but its mit Columbia-öl!
I guess I’m one of the rare snuffers that never tried Poschl. Not that I want to…
It seems Poschl has a similar dividing effect as Menthol does to snuffers. I like Poschl and I like menthol. The evidence is the large number of Red Bull boxes i have!
Poschl is not terrible and before this mess in the US was one of the easier to find. I have a couple things of their apricot, it is not bad but like others have said very moist and very mentholated. I don’t detect apricot in it. I do find their packaging handy if you dig the tap box thing. I also have an unopened thing of Ozana president. I am stocking here and there on the poschls where I can locally. Just because there might be a future where local and internet purchases get harder so I have them around for posterity and sanity. If I had a choice of nothing or a Poschl, I would choose Poschl. However for the most part I prefer other snuffs. That doesn’t say anything bad about Poschl, just a statement of my personal preference. Ken
Poschl will for ever be in my collection. They make some very nice snuff which I enjoy 100%.
@Timetraveler. I agree I started out my snuffing about a month ago. My first two were GH Wisky and Poschl Ozona Orange. The orange was great, but the Whisky was a slap in the face, no matter how soft I sniffed it, it went straight to the sinuses. So as far as starting out. I believe Poschl really helped me enjoy it and also helped me get used to the feel.
@ Kcazman: No doubt your Whisky was a dried out abomination of its former self in a wretched tap box. Its a wonderful and medium moist snuff when used from one of the new mini tubs.
^ Yes, it might have well been a scotch for all I am concerned.
@Xander, I agree 100%. The sample which you’ve sent me is excellent, wonderful taste, not dry at all and it will be included in my next order (bulk).
Pöschl Gawith Apricot was my first snuff, I thought thats what all snuff was going to be like, heavily mentholated with no other discernible flavor. I enjoyed it obviously or else I wouldn’t have continued along with my snuff passion, but I’m so glad I found other snuffs. If I can never get another Pöschl snuff, I won’t be too disappointed.
After tasting more than 200 different snuffs, Gawith Apricot is STILL one of my favourites.
And I still enjoy it, although I do mix a little McC’s Apricot into it now lol
For sure Pöschl snuffs caused some people to dislike the idea of snuff. But imo they´d hated snuff if they´d taken most other snuffs. They´re just the perfect introduction into snuff tobacco. I`m totally sure I´d have canceled the idea of snuff taking, if I hadn´t started with Gawith Apricot, no doubt. Well, the Pöschls make only a small amount of my total snuff depot these days, but some are always ready for lift off, like Ozona President. I´ll attend a 3 day tobacco workshop at Geisenhausen in October and get the chance to talk to the folks there, the owners included. I can ask them about their strategy for the US market then.
I know I would have given up on snuff if I tried the poschels first. I would have thought this is weak it smells o.k. and it clogs me up. I might enjoy this but it wouldn’t be something I could actualy do regularly. I still wish wilsons was the first snuff I tried that would be nice.
Dude, 1902 isn’t a relative newcomer. Toque is. Irregardless of if you like Poschl or not, it’s still a snuff and we Americans are being stripped of our rights to imbibe in tobacco products thanks to our Newspeak gov’t. I hope the world is watching what goes on here. This is the future - taxation without representation.
I managed to give up smoking with only Pöschl snuffs some years ago… not that bad…, but of course the snuff world would be boring for me without all the other snuff manufacturers. One thing is very perfect with the Pöschl snuffs: You can open a tin, put it away for a year, use it again, and its still as good as it was, fresh flavor and not dried out.
@didi878, to that I say Amen!! I have in my nose right now a pinch of Packard’s from a tin which was opened many months ago. And it’s still fresh, moist and delicious.
I suspect Pochl is just the fore runner. Cant see SG and WoS complying with PACT.
… Even their smoking tobacco has this feature, while other tobaccos were already dried garbage after few months, the Pöschl was only a bit drier but still perfect smokable.
