Suggestion for Toque???

Medicated Green Apple, an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Edit: after looking above, I see you wouldn’t be able to do apple, though a strong green apple scent shouldn’t be hard to come by.

I would think flavoring with apple brandy would be possible…

Scrumpy cider maybe (even if subtle)?

Apple brandy would be a very expensive ingredient for a company that makes as much snuff as Toque do. Also, without de-naturing it it would be quite a harsh, fume rich flavour. You can never tell though until you have tried it, it has to be said.

Scrumpy is an interesting idea. I think it would need boiling down to an alcohol free syrup because it probably wouldn’t have a strong enough taste - or the taste would be a bit too sour. Might be good with the sweet version of ‘legless but smiling’ from Callestock farm in Cornwall, though.

Thank’s, yeah it would be cool to see someone try it. I wonder if it would end up kind of like Toque Champagne, or more fresh-fruity…

I might just experiment with this because I love cider.

@Snuffster why not try a home brew cider kit. That is just concentrated apple juice.

Snuffster- yeah you should do that! Abraxas Cider House?

@theratroom - I only use whole products in my snuff, so a cider one would have cider in it in some form, but it would be organic high quality cider. A brew kit would have stuff like sodium metabisulphate in it, which I would never have in an Abraxas snuff. If it’s not 100% edible and unadulterated it’s not useable. This is why Roderick stays clear of some potential snuffs because making them would require extraneous chemicals.

@Snuffster fair enough I never thought about the fact it would have preservatives in it.

Although preservatives are not unheard of as being used in snuff, it is good to see contemporary snuff makers not using them.

Maybe we should start a growing collective. It would be nice to have control from seed to tin.

I recently checked out my toques again. I sold all of them to my friends except the Pomegranite and Absinthe. I used to never be able to snuff toque because I was a newbie used to Poschls and I would always get the snuff in my throat and cough up a storm. I guess I became accustomed to english snuffs and I am absolutly in love with the pomegranite and absinthe toques. I made sure i kept those two because regardless of getting it in the throat they were my favorite scents.

I buy all my snuff from MSS, but when I ordered directly from Toque (10 for the price of 9 or somthing) the packaging was immaculate with each tin in an individual perfect fit zip lock bag. The package was the perfect size to accomodate 10 tins without them bouncing around in there. I really love MS, but there are some things that should be purchased exclusive to the company/dealer. Another example of this that I recently noticed is the MS Poschl boxes. buysnuff.co.uk and its sister website snuff.me.uk both have better box deals for poschl and have been doing it for a while. Thats where I get my boxes of FC Bayern. However sometimes MS does have a better deal, such as their Radfords Premium. Buying a box of 10 from buysnuff.co runs you about 4.85 and right now MS has them on sale for 4.54. even though its not by box of 10, i guess u can just order 10 tins. I know snuff.me and buysnuff.co fill the tins upon order to guarentee freshness.

Back on topic, Toque is an excellent snuff and its a shame you got a bad tin. I know that Toque is very consumer friendly and you might be able to get free samples if you talk to Roderick

I have been fortunate in never having a problem with the snuff I have received from either Mr. Snuff or Toque.

A dint to a tin here or there but I don’t consider that a problem. It’s the contents that are important to me.

I do look forward to the new 10 gram tins. They will make great snuff boxes for refilling.

I’ve been thinking about how SP’s with their bergamot flavoring are similar to earl grey tea iin addition to clove and liquorice flavors also being common to snuffs and teas and was thinking it would be cool if someone made a rooibos scented snuff especially if it were with vanilla.

I don’t think rooibos would be able to stand out against the tobacco scent. :frowning:

 a nicer looking label on the tins 

An honest to goodness coarse, dark grind. please.

An honest to goodness coarse, dark grind. please.

Funny I was going the complete opposite direction with thinking that a very finely ground, high nicotine, white snuff would nicely complete his lineup.
