Ok I’m on mobile so excuse if I mess up, but I’m wondering if anyone has any recommendations on any snuffs to try that are exclusive to here? I’m in the area today and thinking of dropping in.
All of them! Might be a bit late now but they are all wonderful!
I picked up ‘something mocha’ (he just called it mocha, but there’s something else on it I can’t read) and rose, discovered I only had a tenner spare. Very mild flavours… After trying some and looking at the tubs, I assume they are made by wilsons and GH. The reason I asked here is I didn’t want to get stuff that goes under other names I can order cheaper online. Guess that didn’t work out haha.
The mocha is Emerald Mocha, I believe it is a clone of WoS Irish Coffee. The rose is Covent Rose, though I detected a difference in comparison, the general consensus is that it is a clone of WoS Rose. The ones in the GH style tubs would have been better buys, since they are the former Smith’s blends and most have no exact equivalent elsewhere. One I’d recommend if you go again is M&W Jock’s Choice. Its certainly made by WoS, but as far as I know has no counterpart in the WoS line. I believe however, you can order online if you can’t go again and you are in the UK: http://www.davy.co.uk/segar-and-snuff-parlour.php I don’t see an order online form at a quick glance for other than wine, but they used to have it, and the email is there if you want to write and ask.
How does this say emerald haha? See why I was confused?

there’s no clone of Emerald Mocha in the WoS repertoire. It’s much better than both of their own coffee snuffs.
I saw on Facebook hat a friend of mine was in London ( we live in US ) so I messaged him " Get me some snuff!!" Apparently he went to Segar and Snuff in Convent Garden - he will not tell me what he got, but I have 5 tins on the way across the Atlantic later today … I feel like a kid waiting on Santa.
I have four of their snuffs - two their original recipes, and two that they took over from G Smith, and they are all really good. So irrespective of which ones he got you should be in for a treat.
Jock’s Choice and Mullin’s Keen scented are awesome - I like them in repeated rotation .
I recommend the Cafe Royale, Jocks choice and Mature crumbled SP … Wonderful snuff
