Both of these I found myself attracted to for nicotine initially and grew to love the flavor that I was indifferent to initially. I still haven’t tried a snuff with that same burn and instant rush of nicotine. Quit has a good burn and good nicotine, but nothing I’ve found has given me that same rush of nicotine. I have quite a few sweet scotches and RR mills plain and those all give a good burn and mic but again, not the same jolt… I haven’t tried white snuffs because all the descriptions make it sound like too much and a flavor I wouldn’t like. The jolt from GL and GC is just right when I need a fast pick me up and I’m wondering if anyone can name other snuffs that give that same rush. It would be great to diversify my collection so I don’t end up buying a bunch of GL and GC that I go through too quickly.
Viking dark is high in nicotine. Also Dragun will own your ass.
I seriously doubt if Grand Cairo and Gold Label have any more nicotine than any other Wilson’s product. Perhaps what you are enjoying here is the bergamot, which is the only thing those two have in common. Try Best SP, Tom Buck, SS, SP2 etc, and also give McChrystal’s S’nuff a try.
I love Gold Label & Grand Cairo for the same reasons. The other one I would add would be WoS Sandalwood. I put all three in the same category and have a pound of each cellared.
Toque SP Extra for a fine snuff that kicks like Grand Cairo.
Viking Brown is tough to beat for great tobacco with plenty of backbone. I think it has more personality than Dark, and only slightly less nic.
I find dark to be extremely high in nicotine and I still smoke, although less than I used to. If I use dark as an all day snuff I tend to get a bit strung out on the nic come early afternoon. Rooster kicked my ass when I first tried it. Doesn’t anymore but dark consistently gets my head spinning if I overdo it
I know these snuffs don’t have any more nix than quit but the speedy delivery is what I love about them. They hit me so fast. I think the Virginia tobacco has something to do with it as does the grind.
Good thing I have Viking and dragun in my cart
I second Toque SP Extra for the big slap in the head it provides. I havent recieved my Rooster yet so cant compare.
Isn’t SP Extra an SP scented version of Quit? Would that not make it stronger than anything from WoS? Also worth noting Wilson’s website says the SP’s are thier strongest offerings.
I have SP extra and it is one of my favorites. It probably has as much nicotine but it doesn’t hit me quite as hard initially. Maybe it’s a mental thing but GC and GL just throw me into the zone when I need to focus on something enter it’s a video game or my music or a painting. I’m gonna have to try rooster and other scotches too. I thought everyone got a rush from GC and GL. I didn’t try them thinking I’d get that .
The GC and GL are both great for sure, not sure if there are any WoS SP’s that I don’t like, but Queen’s/Tom Buck are must try’s for a Sp fan as well. I can hardly ever get enough bergamot in my life…
A must try for SP lovers is mixing Tom buck with Strasbourg. That’s where my name originated. I’m going to do it again when my next order comes in
GOLD LABEL IS MY FAVORITE SNUFF AND IF YOU WANT TO TRADE SOME 25g of it for some WHITE ELEPHANT I’m TRYING to get rid of, PM me and lemme know!
White elephant is supposed to be a rare Indian snuff. ALMOST LIKE DHOLAKIA WHITE IMO
@transistor You’ve made this same request three times now. Please keep it to one in the private trades thread and give it some time. You may not get a response immediatley, but you can repost/renew your request as often as you need to. It will be left alone for 60 days by the moderators unless you tell us to delete it.
@Xander Yes I know I’ve made the same request three times now.
Does it piss you off THAT BAD???
@Transistor No, but now with you being snarky it does. Do it again and you are banned.
This is just my opinion but I honestily think it would be more effective and more tactfull for moderators (who are doing a great job) to keep things like this on the down low and p.m… Frankily it would make me feel singled out and like an example and instead of making me feel understanding and cooperative it would make me feeling like fighting, where as a private message would make me feel a lot more like listening. It’s just my opinion and I just feel like it would be a smoother way to go and ultimatily less likeily to encourage trolling. Again of course this is my opinion and is not meant as an insult but as serious advice that I feel will go a long way to keeping this site as civil as it has always been.
You’re right of course, bob.
Good advice, @bob.
