What is Spotted Dick? “It’s a pudding” responded Sir John Gielgud’s character Beddoes (Col. Arbuthnot’s Gentleman’s Gentleman), in Murder on the Orient Express, when asked about this wonderful British dessert calling for currants and suet served with vanilla custard. In our case it’s a snuff based on Golden Virginia leaf dressed with lemon, treacle, black currants, hand churned Amish butter, black walnuts and vanilla beans infused into dark blackstrap rum, well aged and milled to a fine grind with medium moisture for a semi sweet snuff suitable as dessert or all day and especially suited for the fall and winter holidays.

That sounds good!

@Bodger_Boggins‌ Shaping up nicely. The base is nicely blonde and the “spots” are full of curranty walnut goodness. If the unmilled weed is any indication this will be interesting. Making a nice chew in the interest of research protocols, you understand :))

Purely scientific… yeah.

That description make my mouth water =P~

Well, I am going to say what everyone must have wondered–at least for a moment. Spotted Dick sounds like a venereal disease to me. And now that I know it is actually a kind of pudding and it is now a snuff made by Daniel, I am going to get some as soon as it is available.

There’s nothing like a little dick in your nose to finish off a good meal =))

Yeah, try telling THAT to the police when they pull you over…

How in the world can you infuse BUTTER into a tobacco blend? (just thinking out loud - not expecting anyone to reveal a trade secret )

I can’t believe how wonderful it sounds, @chefdaniel, nor the evocative power of your description. If you want to earn a little extra, you could try writing advertising copy!

@idbowman‌ No trade secret here. I use a hand churned Amish butter from Scottsville, KY. I clarify it over low heat and lightly brown it. Pour off the clarified butter and add that to the leaf as it toasts. It slowly absorbs into the weed. Let it air dry a bit and mill it to a fare-thee-well.

@chefdaniel I’m planning to contact you for a list of your offerings sometime in the near future - the reviews your blends get are too good not to give them a try…the question remains whether I plan to snuff them or eat them, though.

@idbowman‌ I’d stick with nasal. Oral might bring on severe gastro-intestinal outrage. I’ll be here when you’re ready to give 'em a try. Cheers

Before anyone asks clarified butter is shelf stable. Still recommend keeping it cool.

@Igglet‌ Correct
