I just saw this new product on MrSnuff. I’m curious to know what it’s like reviewers…thanks in advance.

Damn! That sounds like some fine snuff!! Sir Johnny is at it again. Mr. Snuff sure ran out fast.

I think there has been a little administrative mistake ! The snuff is called Thrice Brewed, not Thrice Blended and the consignment has not even reached the warehouse. Johnny

Oops!

@Johnny can you speak to the strength of this upcoming smash hit? On the web site it is listed as “Nicotine Level: medium” but given how it is made I would think it would be extremely high in nicotine.

Hehe. A serious leak in security systems causes consternation in the world of snuff. I can see the headlines now. But this doesn’t seem to be the perique snuff that was rumoured to be coming some time this month. Obviously some exciting developments behind the scenes here. I stand poised to put in an order before this product runs out.

Deemed a masterpiece before anyone has sampled it. Interesting.

The description is too much. It’s like snuff porn and, I need new pants now.

It does read like tobacco heaven.

This is a helluva thing to say, but given the description and the track record of the blender (no less than Johnny himself), the odds are in favor of this new snuff being yet another masterpiece. Damn, but aint this snuff thing one great hobby?!

Incredible Masterpiece! I might write a review even before I’ve tried it. Ok I’ll wait a little longer.

YAY!!! New SWS snuff… Holding fire on a massive baskt full at MisterSnuff for this one and Havana Toast. Great to see such a buzz in the snuff comunity too

Thrice Brewed is a modern version of Masulipatam - one of the most renowned types from the glory days of snuff and something I have always wanted to try. The original Masulipatam was imported from India and was a powerfully scented snuff that was often used in blending, most notably by Fribourg and Treyer. Johnny’s version is magnificent - something truly unique and it will speak for itself.

Very nice snuff, the all process bring out a taste of alcohol reminds me auld alliance… i like it all !!!

Yes, deemed a Masterpiece before anyone has sampled it. The description on Mr. Snuff, Nigel’s endorsement and knowledge of the history behind this snuff…combine all that with Sir Johnny’s (and Nigel’s) impeccable track record I find it easy to deem this a Masterpiece before trying it. We will all let the snuff speak for itself, and even if it’s not to our personal liking, it would be blasphemy to say that the craftsmanship, the inspired artistry and the quality of the snuff itself aren’t exemplary. Just my opinion, ought to be yours

I had a lovely Indian curry for lunch which I decided was a celebration of the impending Triple Brew. In case you’re curious, Garlic and Coriander Nan with Mango (now there’ a possibility, Creme De Mango) Chilli Chutney and Chicken Jalfrezi. I hope this SWS is going to be just as good because that was a Masterpiece.

@I_snuff_therefore___‌ that sounds like one delicious lunch. I’m pissed because now I’m hungry.

My gut is sticking out now though. Maybe a few Irish Arack (Guinness) will help. Probably not but I need me iron as can’t afford any steak because I spent the money on Guinness. Think this is going round in a circle? Auld Guinness snuff? No maybe not. Hey, Havana Toast goes pretty well with this Guinness! Brillinanto! Magnifico… not sure of the Irish or Cuban word?

Gaelic would be iontach , Basque is Liluragarria. Regardless the lunch sounds great, Guinness is a food group not a mere beverage and Havana Toast is magnífico!

I would really really like to try some SWS snuff and other premium snuffs, I just can’t ever go for quality over quantity when it comes to ordering snuff. I need to just go for it at least once, I’ve heard such great things and the anticipation of this new SWS snuff is really persuading me.

Can’t see it anymore on mr snuff site.what a little teaser.lol.looks like another classic on it’s way then.

Succumb to the temptation.

You only live once. Go for it.

Compared to all my vices, snuffing is by far the cheapest even if I only bought cafe 11 which as far as I can tell is the most expensive I have found so far.

The long awaited Sir Walter Scott’s Trice brewed! (TrB??? – Get your three letter acronym in first!! :)) ) First off the tin note is amazing; very rich with an almost chocolate liquor scent, reminds me of a luxurious dessert, the fragrance of a dark, rich, aromatic fruit and chocolate pudding baking in an oven maybe. Nice mid grind, dark with lighter flecks, good nose feel with it slowly melting to release its flavours in a leisurely and timely fashion. Scent/flavour wise it recalls both Crème du Figue (I’m guessing that there is some arrack in there) and Auld Alliance in terms of a bright and light vanilla type top notes. Somehow the scent is more so than these snuffs individually, a little hybrid, any yet seems to have something else/mpre in there that I can’t quite pin down (dark chocolate maybe) which is different and maybe more compelling than either. It settles down in the nose to give a very mature and opulent tobacco base. If @Abraxas is right and this is the modern version of F&T’s Masulipatam it makes you wonder how they ever went out of business, if this is the type of quality snuff they were creating… The genius of Sir Johnny triumphs yet again – Another benchmark artisan snuff from the house of Sir Walter Scott’s, could well be the best one yet: Excellent! ^:)^ ^:)^ ^:)^

@MisterPaul‌ Excellent review and commentary. I am green with envy. Or it could be the dozen or so Café Mojitos I indulged in last evening on the veranda with a pot of HDT near at hand and a lovely old R&J Churchill at a slow smolder. At any rate, I’m green

If @Abraxas is right and this is the modern version of F&T’s Masulipatam it makes you wonder how they ever went out of business, if this is the type of quality snuff they were creating…

“The old snuff house of Fribourg & Treyer at the sign of the Rasp & crown” has this to say about Masulipatam: Masulipatam, an oriental snuff of very .powerful and not very fascinating flavour. Both these were only used for flavouring large quantities of other snuffs, a quarter or half an ounce being sufficient to flavour a pound of snuff, according to the strength required.

Thrice Brewed is now avalible to buy from MrSnuff

@MisterPaul‌ Thanks for the heads up ordered along with Lundy foot

Just ordered mine too,just had to be done.

But not at SnuffStore! We need to have it at SnuffStore too @MrSnuff‌

Still not there. Will it ever be? Oh well. Reading the MisterPaul review it sounds quite different to what I was expecting from the MrSnuff description. Well I wasn’t expecting chocolate and it to be similar to CDF and Auld Alliance. What then is the point of brewing it thrice I have to wonder? I think I was hoping for a kind of coarse moist more rich and intense pure tobacco flavour. Maybe I’ll eventually get some and find out for myself.

Well, I’ve got three different SWS in my shopping basket now, this one, Auld Alliance, and Creme de Figue. I haven’t tried any of them yet and look forward to it.
But where’s the Perique snuff that Sir Johnny promised us???

@I_snuff_therefore___ Scent is a bit of a subjective thing! Dark, moist and rich it is. I’ve said medium grind though to be fair its on the coarser end of the spectrum. Other than a little arrack there are no other casings so I’m told; so the rest is just the tobacco scents in the profile. It’s a really good one, I think the best non-toast yet, highly recommended

Wow that was fast. The interweb is amazing at times! Thanks @MisterPaul‌ for clearing that up. I know Auld Alliance is also only tobacco but I get all sorts of fruit flavours from it. All theses plants and flavour chemicals therein must be linked? The flavours just need teasing out by say Thrice Brewing (3rd time lucky) for example!

Well, pipe tobaccos often have a spectrum of flavours like chocolate, hay, cherry and so on, even if they don’t have any casing. Completely different, of course, from aromatic tobacco. I always think of Viking Dark as having chocolate and coffee notes, and HDT as having nut, even though I know they are natural snuffs. Isn’t tobacco a wonderful plant?

I wanted to try it, but before I could put in an order it was gone.

Retracting previous post, I see it on Mr. Snuff now.

I’m not so sure about this snuff now. Chocolate, vanilla, coconut… sounding like a childrens picnic more and more? I like the Havana Toast (with a little Paul Gotard Latakia added for piquancy) tobacco, tobacco, tobacco. Dry, easy to take and not to fine. A great everyday go to and my current favourite in that regard and also goes great with tobacco flavour vaping. Currently I think I’m more interested in Havana Toast being continued. Hopefully the upcoming? Perique will be another tobacco flavour snuff.

I like these poncy words. Great tobacco flavour. but I will order some poncy flavoured Thrice Brewed if it comes up on Snuffstore if there is any left by then. I’m sure it’s nice for the occasional treat. If it turns out to be better than my Uber Ammonia CDF (which turned out to be fantastic) then I will grovellingly eat my words. The Havana Toast sure went quick. I wonder why? Probably my great review. Yes that must have been it. Tongue firmly in cheek.

A friend of mine in Jakarta teaches wine classes. As she says, it’s just about finding the vocabulary for quite subtle tastes that we don’t have ready words for, so you borrow all those words like fruity, mushroom and so on. Words are just ways of categorizing things. You can say Havana Toast just smells like tobacco if you like, but so does Viking Dark and Toque Quit, and they’re all pretty different, so that doesn’t take you very far.

I did say Great tobacco flavour, should have been flavours but definitely not “just smells like tobacco”, though that could apply to the other snuffs you mentioned but I agree it’s difficult to explain and Thrice Brewed and Havana Toast are almost opposite ends of the spectrum but still sharing premiumicity. My point I suppose is that I see Havana Toast as a long awaited breakthrough and I would like to see more of this type of snuff. Certainly we have already many great desert snuffs. Luckily SnuffStore now has Thrice Brewed and I’ve just ordered a few tins. Obviously I will understand better once I’ve had a chance to try it. I still wonder why the Havana Toast sold out so quickly and a lot of people on here didn’t seem to get any. Who bought it all? It was definitely snapped up. The word spread and whoosh it’s gone??? but then didn’t this happen with most of the other SWS as well although I’m not sure if it happened just as quickly?

According to Johnny, sourcing the Havana leaf has limited production.

I believe that Havana Toast was something Johnny came up with due to the availability of a limited quantity of a particular type of Havana leaf, hence the small size of batch, and why it ran out so quickly (that and it being a bit of new evolution to the toast style, and in very high demand). Funnily enough the same thing happened with Crème du Figue #1 a few years back; it sold quickly and went out of stock, then took a while to come back in as [I believe] a particular leaf in the mixture was difficult to source. I guess as a manufacturer you never really know which snuffs are going to be top sellers, and if leaf feedstock of the right quality will be available at the right time/price do you? I’m looking forwards to the release of the new snuffs that Johnny has in development a lot. Perique one sounds very interesting as there are relatively few snuffs that utilise that leaf strain.

Yes certainly looking forward to whatever Johnny comes up with. The collection already is quite something and I haven’t even tried this latest one yet. Just the method of processing sounds so great. The effort that goes into it not to mention the quality and quantity of tobacco. Seems like I’m lacking on wine expertise which is understandable as I don’t drink wine or listen to people waffling on about it. Most of it’s just vinegar. If something has a chocolate, vanilla, coconut “aroma”, then that could be like it’s chocolate, vanilla and cocount flavour. We’ll agree to see it differently I think. The question really is, is it a great chocolate, vanilla and coconut aroma tobacco? and apparently it is. Looking forward to it, a bit apprehensively.

Recently purchased this Thrice Brewed on a snuff website and suspect it had already dried out in storage. The description and reviews call it moist, and the reviews call or show it being dark. What I got was medium color and moisture. I can tell the tobacco base is superb, but the scent is on the faint side.

@Sammy, do you find this snuff remarkably stronger than any ordinary SWS? Still haven’t tried any; from what I’ve read about most of Johnny’s snuffs, I got an impression that they don’t lack vitamin N.

I made some double brewed snuff years ago from pipe and cigarette tobacco, the result wasn’t more potent than non-brewed thing (surprisingly; on the other hand, I didn’t use alkalizers then). Curious about thrice-brewed.

Is this how a fresh tin of Thrice Brewed should look? @Johnny?

@Volunge it seems stronger in nic than the other SWS I’ve tried.

It looks dried out to me, Thrice Brewed like most artisan snuffs should be very moist. Rehydrate and it should be good as new.

I recently got a tin of the Sir Walter Scotts Thrice Brewed and I absolutely love the flavor. However, I find coarser ground snuffs to be uncomfortable in my nose in comparison with finer ground snuffs. Is there any way to grind coarser ground snuffs to a finer consistency? If so, would you all recommend doing this with this particular snuff? I like the flavor enough to get past the texture, but I feel like I would enjoy it more if it were finer.

you can grind down snuff further but it really changes the scent and from people are describing this as sounding like, you’d probably be disappointment it would lose a lot of definition. Though either you can grind in any type of grinder including coffee grinders or mortal and pestal. Try a small amount first.

A little late to the show on this thread but I’m must say I’m not disappointed with this tin.

Pairs nicely with a good single malt whiskey. Works well as a dessert snuff but then again I’d be happy taking it all day.

Will be ordering a large tin next time around.
