What´s you go to snuff, when you´re really mad/angry whatever and want to calm down? I´ve found the Samuel Gawith Honey to be very effective. Schmalzler work quite good, too.
Schmalzler always makes me happy!
I find Toque Whisky & Honey to be soothing.
Mc Chrystal’s Violet. It’s impossible to get too upset about anything when the entire world smells like flowers.
Just noticed I´ve overseen the McC in all my orders, till now. Have to get that one the next time.
At present F&T Seville is doing it for me.
I go outside and use a BIG toot of GH Kendal Brown. Nice smokey (oak and peat type) scent and plenty of nicotine.
Toque Rose & Dholakia Ganga always do it for me.
Rose, SP’s and Kendal Brown from SG and also F&T’s version of KB, which is more scented.
Spanish Gem for me, or Toque Lavender, Rose too.
oddly, checkerberry.
Soothing snuffs for me in order of soothingness: Wilsons Lavender Toque Lavender McChrystals Hopfen Schnupf Wilsons Honey Menthol (just a shame there is too much menthol) Wilsons Tom Buck Toque SP Extra
Hopfen shnupf was the first one to come to mind and is very " soothing" , also toque sp extra is a soother but zweifacher might take the cake.
Most herbals or florals do it for me. Wilson’s Lavender Toque Lavender Wilsons Camphor & Mild Wilson’s Thyme & Lemon Wilson’s Rosemary Wilson’s Carnation Wilson’s Wallflower McChrystal’s Violet Toque Violet McChyrstal’s Hopfen Schnupf Oddly, Rose scented don’t seem to have the same effect, so I’ve left them off this list, even though I love them.
Spanish Gem is the one for me for this soothing feeling. I mainly reserve it for the weekends for this reason. I think that J&H SP No1 does that for me too. Mmm mmm good.
Pretty much any floral snuff is relaxing for me. Especially Wilson’s Lavender, GH Ambassador, and GH Fleurette. Wilson’s Rosemary is also quite soothing.
SM500, Lowen Prise, and I agree with SG Honey. Some days though, a big dose of Toque Rose and put my head down for a minute. yeahhh.
So it seems either sweet or floral works best. That´s interesting! Guess I have to mix some Honey Bee with, hmmmm, Toque Lavender.
Ah yes, Gawith Hoggarth Ambassador is another soothing one Leman. If only I could identify the floral aromas - quite complex. I think there is lilac in there amongst others. Very natural with the usual GH burn to start with.
WOS Honey Menthol comes to mind. But, I would have to say I find all snuff soothing, that’s why I do it, it calms my soul.
Wilsons of Sharrow Chocolate Orange… I think this snuff is underrated and I have only had 2 pinches!
toque blueberry or toque blueberry menthol.
Schmalzler have a very calming effect for me these days. Pöschl Schmalzler A Brasil should be renamed Pöschl Tranquilizer A.
NTSU Black, with the barnyard smell and the nicotine I feel as though I am outside on a farm away from city life without a care in the world. Great stuff!
My frayed nerves are starting to calm down with alternate pinches of SP Extra and Toque Toffee. The combination reminds me a little of Creme Savers Orange.
I use whatever I have on me that has the highest nicotine level. Nicotine makes the brain happy.
Second day with a tin of WoS Grand Cairo, this I find very soothing.
I second OTD. Grand Cairo or Gold Label.
Fribourg & Treyer French Carotte Toque SP Extra
I would say that Samuel Gawith’s dr. Vereys is soothing for me. flavour is complex surprisingly light and still nicely in balance. it’s possible just stuff your nose full and feel good about everything
WoS Strasbourg
F&T Santo Domingo always does the trick Poschl Südfrucht Schmalzler indulge away Wow Coconut Toffee brings happiness if I can take it outside
F&T French Carotte
Someone posted that the high nicotine snuffs provide the comfort and I have to agree but I also love the soothing scent of the floral snuffs, so I have been using a mix of Dholkaia White, Black and a floral, sometimes it is Kamel, sometimes WOS Lavender or Rose or Carnation but I love the combo, it gives me the nicotine I need to calm down and provides the scent that is pleasing. When nicotine is not needed as much I just use one of the WOS florals as a comfort snuff.
F@T Princes. Its not a particularly soothing snuff, but I enjoy it so much that I forget what annoyed me.
F & T French Carrotte… the sandlewood seems to be calming to me.
sandalwood is so calming thanks for reminding me.
@bob sandalwood is def a nice relaxing one for me as well I also like dholakia kamal for relaxing, it’s a good stress reliever for me.
mos def
You’d think Crumbs of Comfort would be comforting, but to me it really isn’t particularly so.
I agree, Sfingle, CoC seems more invigorating than relaxing, but I like it all the same. Lately my relaxing snuff has been WoS Strasbourg, which I have ordered in bulk. The more I take it, the more certain I am it is based on the Violet Strasbourgs I have been reading about for the historical quiz. I know the Sheffield Exchange list only mentions citron, but I’m really detecting a heavy violet presence in it these days, which is very soothing.
Toque SP Extra all the way!
Second on the WoS Rose and Lavender. I also find F&T Old Paris to be soothing.
Sfingle, I agree, mixed this with Morlaix and brought it up on the comfort part.
ozona president
My on hand Schmalzlers always seem to have a calming effect.
@perique I feel the same about my Schmalzer’s, I love my SP, but the Schmalzer’s are next in line.
Dholakia Ganja is soothing and relaxing, almost to the point of intoxicating.
haven’t seen this on here but I believe that I would have to say Toque’s Absinthe is very calming, seem to take a pinch for sure everynight about an hour before hitting the sack. Also McC SP
WoS Raspberry. Not a huge nic hit, but kinda like a raspberry sucker from your Mom after you’ve been to the dentist. (When I was a kid, lol.)
Snadalwood and Jasmine seem to do it for me, although super Himalaya has a nice “softness” to it that helps pull me back a few notches.
WoS Jockey Club for me.
F&T Dr. JR Justice, reminds me of the little gel bath soap at my grandmas house when i was a kid ,lol.
F&T French Carotte, Morlaix & JR Justice, also Toque Rose, Violet & Lavender, and Dholakia Ganga generally calm me down.
For me it has to be Wilsons Camphor & Mild.
Lately it was Packard´s Club, that floral - perfumey scent seemed to trigger the sleep mode, unfortunately at work…
My comfort snuff would have to be Toque Spanish Gem. It’s complex with all the scents that give you the warm fuzzys like chocolate, vanilla, leather (for those of you who like that sort of thing ), and it’s easy on the nose. I can chain sniff this stuff with little clogging.
Fitting – my wife is having a heart procedure (catheterization-angioplasty-other stuff if needed) tomorrow morning. I have a GH C&M tapbox that’s been opened for quite awhile. The menthol is fading some and now it’s sort of more like SM Blue. For some reason, It seems like the best and only one to have w/me. If I didn’t have it, I’d probably take SM Blue. So, that tells me there’s something comforting about that one for me.
Heart caths are no fun at all. I had one about ten years ago. Fortunately, it was a false alarm. Hopefully it will be the same with your wife. Best wishes.
F&T Seville.
@PipenSnusnSnuff: Thanks much for your best wishes. i’m glad yours was a false alarm. Yep, not fun stuff at all. We’ve been through it several times with her. It runs in her family big time. She’s had three heart attacks (in the past 20 years) and has 5 stents already now. She keeps going and outlasting younger and older siblings. She maintains a healthful diet and excercises alot, but still… We’re not gonna know the extent of things until they’re in there tomorrow. have to get things in order here because we have to be at hospital in few short hours. I don’t plan on sleeping.
@ enten-ella, hope all goes well. Best wishes.
Man Enten-eller that sucks. If you think it will help tell her that all you’re friends over here are pulling for her and shaking their fists at D.N.A… Well it sounds like my dad except for the healthfull diet part (untill recently).
Ouch Enten-eller! Had my first two Heart attacks right after my 40th b’day in 2004. They went through the whole AngioplastyStent thing with me as well. Not fun at all. Best wishes and good health to the Wife.
Thanks all. We found out things are quite serious. There are significant blockages in th worst locations. If they hadn’t started this stuff at this time, it would have been definately fatal. Apparently caught it in the nick of time. Quadruple bypass tomorrow morning. They’ll be using a mammary artery for the worst part and artery pieces from her right arm for the smaller places. Had hoped for artery from the left arm because she is right handed. Her right arm and hand function may now be greatly impaired too. There will be a long recovery period and lots of rehab. Techs and nurses will be coming to the house for various things, once she’s back home. I will pass along to her your best wishes and kind words and she will definately like it. She likes stuff like that alot.
I certainly hope things go smoothly and she’s back up on her feet in no time, Eller.
Forgot to mention that she’s very strong and is being positive about it. I was even making her laugh a little today. I will return to hospital a little later. Thanks, cstokes and everybody.
Sws latakia blend does the calming down effects. I ve lost my sunglasses some people might have stolen them or hidden them again at work Well i hope so ! It was doing my head in just cannot help thinking about it feeling angry. I took toque lavender and had a slight calming down. But i was remembering latakia i ve just took a pinch and now i feel so relaxed and have this i dont care feeling if i m being stolen my sunglasses twice a month i would still be winner as compared to those who stole them. There were others things that upset me during the day like a kind of small annoying bad luck accumulation now with latakia blend i feel really relaxed at last !
I think my favorite one for relaxing is probably old mill kind of blue. Too bad I only have a limited supply. 6 photo kaliash is also a good one.
That’s funny, I was going to say 6p Kailash and SWS Latakia Blend, but @Psicko and @Snufferdemedicis totally called it. I’d also throw in Rosinski Brusdl
6Photo Super Kailash, Special and No. 6. Dholakia Manjul and Kamal. 41 Photo Himtaj black and Golden
Toque Ambrosia is a calming snuff for me. Maybe because I correlate brandy and vanilla bean with some type of intimacy and calmness.
Toque lavender. Or too much of any of the OSP snuffs will force me to sit down.
Super Kailash, Tops Sweet, Dholakia Herbal( has some calming herbs, so it seems). Anything with a fine grind too, like high dry toasts of any brand.
