Sir Walter Scott's Thrice Brewed Snuff

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

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.

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 :slight_smile:

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

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 :wink:

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.
