Just wondering, as I posted in the Honey suckle thread, what snuffs that do not exsist that roderick could masterfully make to set Toque apart from others. Toque has excellent snuffs but I would like to see some that no other company makes. Honeysuckle is one. You guys think of any others?
Dont get me wrong, Toque already sets itself apart IMO in freshness and customer service, im just using them as an example because its the snuff I use the most.
Tea. I think a ceylon or assam scented snuff would be quite nice.
Mmmm tea. A nice Constant Comment, or Earl Grey… How about hazelnut?
Hey! ya’ll shut up and don’t bother Roderick until he is finished making my plain dry toast. And Please! Maple, Hazelnut, and Honey suckle? Sounds like coffee and a pancake breakfast with a cheep slut. Actually, the Honey Suckle sounds really nice.
I would like to see a jalapeno, habanero, or chipolte snuff. That would be perfect for out here in the southwest. If that’s a little harsh though, I can think of a few other desert varieties that would be nice: Blue Agave (or Tequila), or prickly pear fruit. And I can’t remember but has anyone made a blackberry, boysenberry or cranberry snuff?
I think Paul Gotard has Blackberry.
WoS makes a rum and blackberry
Beer. A Real clear flavor. Like maybe Guiness Snuff and a Corona with lime… And other cocktails like a rum and coke and etc.
snuffegnugen, how about tres leche cake for a southwestern dessert snuff?
Maybe I’m being corny, but Toque being Toque is, for me, what sets it apart from everybody else. Whatever Roderick is doing, he’s doing it right.
For beer, there was some talk of a Toque Porter in past threads. Perhaps it will happen someday. In the mean time, I suggest Snuff Store’s Blender’s Bundle, an outstanding snuff. Also Hopfen, if you like hoppy ales. I should have thought of WoS Rum & Blackberry first. Thanks tybalt. Its a fine snuff. As for tea, well, as a lover of tea I’d think that tea is far to subtle a flavor to carry over into snuff. If you like Earl Grey tea, it stands to reason you will like SP style snuffs, particularly the milder ones. Try Toque Original for starters. Its a fine SP. Those other tea flavors surely have an equivalant snuff someplace. I forget what Constant Comment tastes like. Some sort of spice, I think. Looking back, Roderick is usually one step ahead of us, and threads like these pop up from time to time. He hears our suggestions, but he has standards. For some reason, these discussions usually degenerate into talks about bacon. So to get ahead of that, and being from Delaware, I will suggest our local answer to breakfast meat: Scrapple
Xander, I love the Toque Original. So far, it’s my favorite, by a slim margin. So far, I’ve loved all the Toques I’ve tried. Constant Comment kind of has a clove/spice/citrus thing going on.
I agree Roderick is steps ahead of the market as is. I stated so in my second comment on here, response no. 2 As i said i was using Toque as an example because its my most used snuff and usually stays ahead of the curve anyways. But I have also seen roderick mention they are calling it quits at 40 flavors but I wouldnt want to see the 40 flavors end up being examples or reincarnations of older blends, I want to see some out of the box snuffs and even a 4 seasons snuff. Snuffs only available durinf winter, spring, summer and fall to reflect the seasons. This is just s brainstorming thread, not knocking rodericks product.
hmmm. try Dholakia Kamal, Manjul and Ganga. They’re all wonderfully spicy, though they might be more floral than you’re looking for. Also I was just introduced to McChrystal’s Clove, which I know now I can’t live without. I think there are some old Constant Comment bags (shudder) in the tea cubboard. I’ll break one open soon and see if I can duplicate it in a snuff mix.
Roderick i really wish i could send you some fresh honeysuckle to see what magic you could work for a summer time snuff, its amazing. But i know you have some tricks up your sleeve uve yet unleashed upon us, i just love your company and would like to see some original… only toque has it/ a unique flavor never made before.
I agree, Grim. If its a unique sort of thing that only Toque can do, like Grapfruit, then they should make it. If they can make the best cola snuff in the known universe, by all means do it. But I just mentioned McC clove. I don’t think that can be bettered for a clove snuff, so maybe not worth the time to experiment. Conversely, I have in my collection a Maccoboy, a Macouba, and a Macuba. All variations on a theme, but all different enough to make me love each one. Just thinking out loud. Of course I’d evaluate any new Toque snuff impartially. There are none that are bad and many are top of their class.
Bacon. Just kidding! ;D
Well, its been said many times that WoS IHT22 smells like bacon, cant say Ive experienced it myself…
Well, as I do have a nice batch of Magaliesberg Horseshoe snuff now, I’m considering whether I should flavour a little bit with real bacon. Only way I will know whether it can be done is to give it a try. Might do it this coming weekend.
