hello everyone. I’m really enjoying the site and I’m really enjoying my Toque order. I’m thinking I’d like to try some other brands and WoS seems like another solid range. i’d appreciate any comments or suggestions. Early impressions from my toque order: Natural: great for learning what plain tobacco is about, I think i’d like some more plain snuffs, but I’d like them to be really unique. Original: really enjoying it, though I think I like the Gem more SP Gem: a great subtle but complex snuff. I definitely will reorder. Cherry Menthol: I didn’t thinkI liked it at first but last night I started to get in to it. Cherry: not really liking it. Lime Toast: blows my head off, I really like this and would like a similar offering from another producer in intensity. So after looking around at the WoS range i think I’ll try: BEst SP Crumbs of Comfort HDT 22 Jasmine (maybe) Grand Cairo Tom Buck Best Dark thoughts?
also while you’re at it, I’m going to re-order the Toques I like, I think I?ll try the 9 for price of 10 offer. So any Toque suggestions would be great too.
Sounds good, though the Jasmine never quite did it for me, it does have its fans. I recommend Rose, Wallflower or Carnation if you want a floral. You may want to add the new Lemon Toast if you liked Lime Toast. I have not had it yet, but it is on my wishlist.
Natural Toast, SP Extra, Quit, Spanish Gem, Berwick Brown, Chocolate, and Blueberry are my favorites thus far
thanks Xander. anyone had the Lemon Toast?
@ snuffmoose also while you’re at it, I’m going to re-order the Toques I like, I think I?ll try the 9 for price of 10 offer. I think that should go into the out of context quote Thread. But I couldn’t find it.
@snuffmoose: I scoffed a 25g tin of Lemon Toast recently. I wasn’t blown away by it. I prefer the Wilsons Lemon Grove as I think the standard Wilsons tobacco base suits the lemon scent better. Nice initial Wilsons list you’ve got there though. I’d be tempted,though, to ditch the Tom Buck - which is just a stronger tasting version of Best SP - and go for the Honey Menthol instead.
@snuffmoose: try the Toque Whisky & Honey - it’s fabulous.
@bradmajors: thanks for the suggestion. yes maybe i’ll check out the wilsons lemon grove in the order. how does a lemon lime blend sound like it would work? honey menthol’s interesting. i really like the menthol thing though those first pöschl’s i got are sitting sort of neglected since my toque order arrived. i like the menthol as an outside street snuff. @toffeenose: thanks for the suggestion @gimpy: i meant 10 for the price of 9.
since I am probably going to order the WoS from Mr Snuff, is there any other ‘must try’ snuffs. Maybe something from F&T? Can anyone comment on ordering from Mr Snuff particularly continental europe customers and even better alguien aquí en España?
If you’re going to try F&T, be warned that they are nearly all highly perfumed apart from High Dry Toast, Santo Domingo and Old Paris, all of which I highly recommend. Mr Snuff is a great retailer, always courteous and orders are turned around very quickly.
@snuffmoose - if you’re going for the 9/10 offer from Toque, make sure to include Raspberry and Whisky & Honey. The former because it’s the best “full plant experience” from Toque (the other fruits/floral are wonderful but not as “immersive”, I think); the latter because, even though I still can’t enjoy all the notes that are supposed to be there, is an amazingly good toast, sweet and smokey and, well, absolutely tasty!
Ok. I am new too, put I* will add my 2 pennies worth. Toque Chocolate I love it. Toque Blueberry I love it. Toque St. Clements this stuff is like baby powder, and a dab of this to anything and it will crank Your Tractor, float your boat and Blow Your dress up. Toast & Marmalade Very Very Good. Toque Berwick Brown Mr Snuff put one 10gm tin of this in a order I got from him I wish it was a tub, If you like plain tobacco, this aint plain tobacco by long shot, but really it is plain tobacco (nothing added) but not plain by a long shot. Toque Peach Goodveryverygood, Now F&T I have only 3 French Carotte, Bordeaux, Santo Domingo all of these will ease you into orgasim of the senses. I have a tin of these but you can bet I’m going to have them all. I agree with everything said above also.
Whisky and Honey is a “new” classic. A master blend IMHO, a true must try. I have some of this everyday, Buy it in bulk if you like it after that, it ages well airtight.
My tin of W&H got a lot better after sitting in a drawer for almost 2 years. Or maybe my tastes changed. I liked it when I first tried it, but I like it a lot more now. Also, I must second F&T HDT as a “must try”. Perhaps something from Jaap would be a good one, too. I have only tried Latakia AO 1860, but if it is indicitive of the over-all quality, then anything you order would be a good bet.
@everyone…thanks for the suggestions. now to figure out a toque 10/9 and a small Mr snuff order. @nelsonpipeclub: who is Jaap?
Jaap Bes is the owner/master snuff maker at De Kralingse snuff. Jaap posts here as “snuffmiller” and is a good friend of ours.
No votes for Champagne? OK, Toque Champagne is tremendous. I agree w/someone up there about the WoS carnation. Is a clean floral in a good toast. And while on WoS, try one of SM’s if you can get it in a 5g(in case you no likely). Its like Medicated 99, only much cleaner, menthol w/numbing quailities. trust me, it grows on you.
here’s what I’ve pretty much decided on for Toque. will place the order sometime late today. Apricot (positive reviews) Berwick Brown (your suggestions) Cheese & Bacon (how can you not try this) Coke (curious) Lime Toast (repeat) Raspberry (the full plant experiencce intrigues me, I sell a raspberry beer that rather than being a fruit soda a la Mort Subite, it tastes like the fruit, the leaves, the air on a summer day) Rose (your suggestions) Spanish Gem (repeat) St Clements (your suggestions) Whisky & Honey (your praise)
@pot poe: just learning all the abbreviations. is SM swedish match?
