More than any other snuff i have tried Toque fascinates me because it goes through so many changes take Whiskey & Honey now this is a favourite of many people but when i first got mine i liked it but preferred my Toast & Marmalade. Last night I got out my 10g Tin of Whiskey & Honey and tried it again. Upon opening the tin i could see it had dried out to a nice moist powder and wow now i understand what so many others like about this snuff its gorgeous. As i’m relatively new to snuff i don’t know what happens to Toque over longer periods but i am definately going to dig out all my other Toque snuffs and retry them to see how much they have changed. So if you’e got a Toque snuff sitting around that you have’nt tried in a while dig it out and give it a go you might be in for a real treat.
I’ve added a wee bit of W&H to my Quit and let it sit for a while. I sniffed some today and…what a potent sweet, sweet snuff I now have!! Yes Big Al, it seems as if Toque, more then any other brand, changes to the good over time. But, don’t forget about Dholakia. My Manjul matured very well, less kick but much sweeter, over a period of about 4 months.
Metamorphosizing Beast. Indeed. Slow down from opening the package, let it air, and it does turn into a different beast. Absolutely no fear of letting a little air through it. Still a beast. When you think you left it out to long because of unforeseen circumstances. Still a beast. Champagne right now, a little Toffee after this blog. oh yeah… I really like Toque. Do you?
The thing with Toque is that it is always super fresh when you receive it. There is high ammonia content at first and as you use it and it airs out more the ammonia dissipates and then leaves you with the intented flavourings of the snuff. I for one love the freshness and even some of the ammonia scent. I have never gotten a stale tin of Toque, I cannot say as much for some other snuffs but that could be the fault of the local distributers. And to think a couple of years ago I was hesitant to order from Toque because it only came in bullets! How the times have changed, Toque now has become a firm favorite. Roderick has done an outstanding job and his customer service is second to none.
As a brand new user I’m amazed at how good Toque is. So far I’ve tried cherry, champagne, bourbon, & the whiskey & honey and have loved them all. I’ve spent my evening with the cherry and a big pris of Ettan los & can say it’s been a tasty night
Champagne is my favorite. It’s a little piece of heaven.
Champagne may be my favorite as well.
Toque has really made it, strange to think a couple of years ago it didn’t exist. I always go back to the original, just a great SP. With the exotic flavours I tend to loose interest after a while. I loved the bourbon but now I can’t stand it. I think I am just a plain snuff lover really…
I agree. Especialy since I love perfumed snuffs. Or spicy snuffs garlic basil anyone???
I agree, I would love to see some complex decadent floral snuffs from Toque that would rival F&Ts. Mind you, maybe Wilsons will one day resurrect more F&T recipes.
I love Toque, I think that Roderick has some of the most must have snuffs of any company. I hope that they stick more to snuffs that are everyday snuffs than once in awhile snuffs. I am glad that they have expanded their lineup, but fruit snuffs, floral snuffs, etc. are not going to be everyday snuffs for me or for most I think. I worry about overextending with too many flavors and starting to lose profitability.
If Roderick adds an old fashioned KB and a blonde toast to his incredible lineup I’ll be a two-company snuffer!
Roderick, you’ve done amazing things with all your snuffs that I’ve tried. Toast & Marmalade and Toffee are to die for. I look forward to the order I’ve got picked out from your shop. When I get it I’ll have all of your current flavors. I wasn’t big on some of them at first, but they have all grown on me. Keep up the good work.
I agree with bob & sandy130674 - a Toque floral (which I believe is on the cards) would be an excellent addition to their range.
I just got my order in yesterday which included the Toque Spanish Jewel. It’s absolutely amazing and will be my daily for some time I think!!
