Members please vote for the high toast that you think is the best. Note: please let me know if I’ve made any ommissions. I’m wary of including SG IDO since its impossible to find, and having no personal experience with it, I can’t confirm that it is a high toast or a plainer toast (like WoS No. 21). Also not sure whether and which Dholakia toasts should be included.

I have tried 5 of the 7 above (haven’t tried toque’s or SG yet). Tough call between F&T’s and Wilson’s and yes i know they are both made by Wilson’s but i find the F&T is a bit more buttery.

I agree, but I prefer the more smokey nature of the WoS.

You should try the SG though. It has a nice distictiveness all its own. A bit sweet.

Haven’t tried toque natural toast yet but if its similar to toast n marmalade and lime toast I’m missing out

I have bought more HDT than any of the others. I always have a large tin or two of this in my store of snuff. If I had a second preference it would be 22 closely followed by Irish D Light

seems we’ve lost the link to this poll in this thread. Is it somewhere else?

Today it is IDL, that and TNT are tied for me at the minute, but because I have a noseful of IDL I voted for that. Stefan

@mouse not sure what you mean. Does scrolling up show it?

Yeah, it does (insert embarrassed look here_____). I thought that was a cut and paste image, not the actual real-time result.

I only had WoS Irish High Toast (No. 22) and F&T HDT to compare so far, and for now the later is the winner for me.

Toque Bourbon could have been here. Not knowing I would have thought it a well made plain toast. Right there with 22. Will be ordering larger quantity. @Roderick

I deliberately left out Toque Bourbon since it is a flavored toast,even if the flavoring is not strong. Maybe next poll will be flavored toasts.

That stuff is one of my faves. It and HDT just disappear at an alarming rate.

I’m actually quite keen on the Tranter light. A shame there isn’t a 2nd Best choice.

Understood and quite correct. however… Fits the category for me .

I think having only tried 2 of the 7 possible choices does not qualify me to vote (as my perspective on high toasts is still too narrow) i´m curious to see what will be the best!

WoS #22 just wonderful, F&T 1st.runner up

Looks like I should give the F&T a try.

Gawith and Hoggarth Irish D

@stogie, you have to vote in the poll for your vote to be recorded.

Toque natural is my 2nd place

Kind of why I hate polls. I like what I like and someone else likes other. really meaningless … À chacun son goût,

I agree with jpsavage. It might help newbies decide what to buy but they wont really know what they like until they try em all. Everyone’s tastes are different

How can so many be so wrong ?

I like this poll. I usually make a snuff order 2-3 time a year to reduce duty paid on customs so am slow to accumulate new snuffs. With this poll I can see I should try the F&T before turning my back on toasts all together. I’ve tried several and none really agree with me, but I have yet to try the F&T.

Amazed Wilsons’ 22 is so high on the list - perhaps I got a “rogue” tin? Either way - for me it’s F&T HDT very, very closely followed by SG Irish D Light. These are both beautiful.

Wilsons #22 is simply perfect for Irish climate, especially in winter. Toast season is on!

I voted SG IDL but I just recently tore through a tin of WoS Irish Toast No.21 and that snuff is damn good. Toasts in general are great, they are normally what gets me through the day and when I get home and relax I tend to do the more fancy and flavored type snuffs.

Well I guess since F.U.B.A.R. Toasted is not on the list I’ll go with WoS IHT #22.

@willc WoS no.21 was not on the list since it is not a “high” toast. Not sure about the FUBAR one. I’ve since tried one Dholakia toast, and I don’t really think its the same (IHT) style that this contest was about. Seems more like a Madras style. However, that’s open to discussion/debate.

WoS 22, followed closely by HDT. So far, so thats how I voted because the 22 is already filled to the top on my new snuff box.

Interesting that there is no clear majority here.

Interesting that there is no clear majority here.

Top two come from the same snuff mill though. I’m sure Sam Gawith Irish D Original would have gotten more votes if still made. It was very good even in tap boxes but disappeared before I could order it in bulk. I could see comeback if some online vendor orders it from Sam Gawith…

So hard to pick just one. I really like the F&T and Toque as well. The Wilson’s seems slightly easier to take for me, and I agree with @Xander that the little extra smokiness sets it apart from the rest.

Yeah, just tried the Toque Natural a little while ago and it’s another fantastic snuff. I’m really having a blast with my toast bundle, but the WoS 22 and F&T HDT are the best so far.

Can’t decide between WoS 22 and F&T HDT - equally like them. How should I vote?

F&T for me, then WoS, Toque and SG IDL.

Can’t decide between WoS 22 and F&T HDT - equally like them. How should I vote?

I voted too early, because now after a bit of using both for a week or so I can’t decide either. It might actually be F&T now, because the buttery/nutty flavor is growing on me more and more. But, I think I’ll just say they are equal because they are both amazing for their own reasons.

Recount in Florida?

@Dogwalla: We always find a way to screw something up.

do i get a vote even though i’ve only tried two? It’s F&T over Irish D Light by about 3/4 of a mile

Even after trying HDT I still don’t find anything about it that puts it above Natural Toast. Although in fairness those two and Irish No. 22 are the only ones on the list I’ve tried so far and I don’t have any of the Irish to compare them with ATM.

F&T still does not have majority consensus. We could run a run off vote between the top two vote gainers and see if F&T then wins. Just for fun.

^^ Sore loser

whacu talkin’ 'bout, Willis? I’ll happlily concede the gold medal when your champion reaches a greater than 50% threshold.

is there a none/all option?

Boy, it is just so close to even w/ the #22, F&T HDT and the Toque. I only picked the #22 because I’m so used to it. I think Toque, at the end of my life, will be the eventual fav.

Toque Natural rocks, which is probably why Roderick voted for it, but I just can’t get over the warm scent. I thought it was scented until someone pointed out it was just plain tobacco the other day. Mind. Blown.

This is an impossibly difficult poll because I rate Natural Toast, HDT and IHT22 as equally the best. I don’t much care for SG Irish D Light though. It has an odd scent which doesn’t do it for me. The GH Irish D I do like.

WoS Irish High Toast #22

I voted Toque Natural Toast. There is something distinctive about it. To me it feels like cream in my nose. I do find IHT22 the easiest to take of the toasts I have tried.

@mrmanos: it only counts if you actually vote

F&T is the only one I ever tried (based on my delight with other F&T blends.) After that I came to the conclusion that Toasts are not my thing…

I am snuffing Irish D Original now. I think it’s the best Toast. Too bad it’s no longer made.

Where does one actually vote?

In the first comment box, I think. I can’t see it now, since I already voted.

@cstokes4 looks like it’s just me and you kid. Lol

I vote for HDT with IHT 22 as a second, but in a blind sniff test I couldn’t swear that Toque’s very excellent Natural Toast wouldn’t carry off the gold.

I can’t remember what I voted for, I think it was iht22, but I’m going for Toque Natural Toast, closely followed by iht22, followed by hdt, and SG Irish d light isn’t in the running for me because I really dislike it. I vaguely remember enjoying the gh Irish d though. Edit I see I did go for iht22. Well there you go, toque’s nattie toast is my fave now.

I like toque too. I love the F&T drug store tins. If the 450g came in a massive one I would be buying bulk for sure.

@cstokes4 looks like it’s just me and you kid. Lol

I would have been there too if the product actually existed.

Today I did 3 back to back comparisons of WoS No22, Toque Natural Toast and F&T HDT, grading each round. The F&T HDT won out followed closely by the IHT No22, but the Toque Natural wasn’t far behind. I made my vote accordingly. However, I’d like to say that I’ve enjoyed each of these immensely and they’ve all had their special moments. I am very much a ‘toaster’ now. I can’t wait to try the others. One question… is the Toque Champagne a toast? I love Champagne and would like to try that one.

No, Toque Champagne is not a toast. I’ll try to get a flavored toast poll up in the next few days. Toque has Bourbon, Whiskey & Honey, Cheese & Bacon, Toast & Marmalade, Lime Toast. I think that’s all. Someone please let me know if I forgot any since they will go in the next poll.

Great! @Xander Thanks!!!

Oh Lundy Foot where art thou??

xander. almond toast. i love it–especially after it fades a bit and becomes natural toast with a faint aroma. maybe i’m an almond guy—i thought about mentioning smoked almonds in the favorite snacks post. AT is more cookies than nuts, though.

@bogybill ok, You’re reminding me that I still need to create a flavored toast poll and will; but in the mean time what is your favorite straight high toast?

sorry --i thought i was answering a question as to what flavored toasts were missing from a list given --for future poll. NBD–just more evidence that my mind is going

SG Irish D light

I no longer favor F&T HDT. In fact, it has dropped down the list quite a bit for me. The WoS IHT 22 is now my number 1 snuff followed by SG Irish D Light then Natural Toast. In my nose, at this point, the top 3 break down thusly, scent-wise: 1. WoS IHT 22 - Smokey 2. Toque NT - Creamy 3. F&T HDT - Buttery I didn’t really enjoy this last tin of F&T HDT. The buttery aspect of it clashed in my nose with the other toasts I was using so much that I am still debating about whether I should include it on my next order.

Does anyone know why SG no longer makes the original Irish D? Is there anyone who has it that could send me a small sample? I’d be willing to reimburse or trade.

Haven’t tried the F&T yet… Gotta get some soon WoS 22 for now

I am partial to WoS IHT because it was my first toasted snuff. I’ve never had F&T High Dry Toast but would love to try it!

HDT

F&T HDT

I voted GH Irish D, because it’s my favorite everyday snuff for some reasons. However, it’s probably not exactly what a toast should be, I think it’s more different from the others I tried (both WoSs, F&T, Toque, SG) of which I believe F&T or WOS No22 to be closest to perfection…

Wos IHT 22 for me; easy to take for a toast, with a salty, biscuit goodness about it.

I begin to realize how inexperienced I am. Of the list, I’ve only tried FT HDT. But it’s so good I just find it hard to believe that I’d like anything better.

Fribourg &Treyer High Dry Toast. Unfortunately, I have no idea how one casts a vote in this poll, but my vote does not seem to change the ordering in any way.

AH! Simply by writing seems to be the answer…

Leave it to me to throw a wrench in the gears. F&T HDT is my favorite of the “High Dry” toasts. Sir Johnny’s Havana Toast and Lundy Foot are my favorite overall in the toast category, but I save them for quiet times when I can savor the craftsmanship and top quality tobacco. Not that HDT isn’t top notch. It’s just that I’ve been hammering it for so many years it’s now an old friend and constant companion.

i make my own toast off oriental turkish tobacco. It has a nice smoky plain tobacco flovour.
