So far some of my favourite snuffs have a deep, rich smoky flavor, even if they have little else in common. SG Scotch Black, F&T Princes, WoS Whisky. Any other suggestions for that peaty, smoky goodness? Either natural or ideally with other flavors, too. I just got a sample of Bernard Gekachelter Virginie but haven’t tried it yet, and am contemplating Celtic Talisman.
I’m a pipe smoker and like latakia, and especially latakia-aromatic crossovers like Frog Morton, Pembroke, etc.
Togue Natural toast, WOS IHT, American Scotches.
Sir Walter Scott’s Latakia Blend
SWS mull of oa
Molens AO 1860 if you can got your paws on a box.
OSP Batch 2 is smokey, but tastefully done to the point where it’s not just campfire.
Also, it occurs to me that if Cobguy ever goes back into production, you two would be a match made in heaven.
Civette extrafein, Bernard
Thanks - keep 'em coming!
Some of the American scotch snuffs use Dark Fired Kentucky in their recipes. Rooster, by US Smokeless, is fine and dry, with a nice kick and a smooth smokiness.
You may like Elmo’s reserve it smells like 1792 flake. 2nd Sir Walter Scott Latakia blend. Molens AO 1860 and A/P blend. Any American Plain Scotch some are smokier then others.
@basement_shaman that one’s on my list! I love 1792, though it’s pretty powerful. I don’t have a massive nicotine tolerance, so the snuff might be just the ticket.
Tried any Schmalzlers?
Rooster is the smokiest snuff I’ve ever had, but it seems to be hard to come by anywhere apart from the US now.
I think the OSP snuffs are smokey. But I haven’t tried the others that were mentioned.
@Dxx - so far only Bernard Brasil Doppelt-Fermentiert, which I didn’t find smoky at all. Any one in particular you’re thinking of?
@Chico - I’m currently using a lot of Poeschl A and, beyond the expected fruit, I get some smoke. As a caveat, nostrils will differ but, smokey or not, it’s fantastic.
@Dxx - I have a tiny of sample of that which I’ll try tonight, thanks.
