I have made two orders of snuff so far, the first being a trial order of toque apricot and McChrystals mild lemon. I found that I liked them both, but could not use the lemon all day, although I did enjoy it. The apricot however, I flew through and thoroughly enjoyed. After looking through the forums and also on mr snuff, I ended up ordering toque violet, coke, and xmas pudding, along with WoS gold label and lemon toast, and lastly Bernard’s magic moments. The violet, Coke, and pudding I’m still not sure about, although I have enjoyed the other three. However, I have found that I cannot use most of these snuffs as an all day snuff, with the exceptions being both WoS I ordered. I was wondering if you all had suggestions for what could be in my third order for something that I could use all day. I thought about getting Viking dark, as that seems to be a common one recommended on here. Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Viking Blonde, if you like the Gold Label. Also, try WoS Tom Buck, Best SP, SP100 and Toque SP Extra. If you are enjoying the Lemon Toast, then try the other WoS toasts, and Fribourg and Treyer High Dry Toast. Toque also do plenty of toasts.
Abraxas St. Casura - So easy to use and can be used all day.
Why is preventing all-day use? Is it the scent, grind or something else? I have found that in Toque the one thus far that I can take all day is their SP Extra. While I love and thus ordered 150g bags of Absinthe and Apricot along with 25g tins of Original, at present it’s the SP Extra that works best. Do take some time and rotate your snuffs a bit- another contributor noted that at first they were having a difficult time with some finer snuffs (which my Toques seem to be) but after time passed they found they were easier to take. Sometimes it seems your nose must become accustomed to the cut/scent/brand. I have found that my preferences and even ability to stick to one snuff changes. Presently my desire to take Apricot all day has waned and I am on the SP Extra as the work day and Absinthe at home. But alas this may well change by the time I read my next post.
I would say that the scents themselves inhibit all day use. The scent of violet for example seems to come on very strong, and then the scent overstays its welcome, so to speak. The coke I can use a few times in a row, but after using for an hour or two (i usually take a few pinches an hour) it also becomes overbearing, so I try to just have a few pinches of that a day, and not in a row. Pudding is the same way. I don’t have an issue taking any of them, surprisingly, even though I’m very new to snuff itself. It just seems like the scents are a turn off. I have noticed that with all three toque tins, when i got them they were a little different than the apricot, in the sense that they seem to be a little more moist, and the smell just from straight opening the tins is a lot stronger. It may just be that they are more fresh or something, but I have noticed that difference.
There are several that I could take all day, but I usually carry at least 2 on me all day. ( usually a menthol and a non-menthol.) Funny, with cigarettes it was a pack a day of Camels for 30 years. Never anything else. With snuff I can’t ever just carry one kind!
Why would you want to snuff the same snuff all day?
I usually take 2 with me in the morning, but I go to class every morning from 8 till about noon, then straight to work till about 9 at night, so its not that I want to, but I can’t very well bring all my tins with me all day long, and I don’t get home to swap them out for 12 hours once I leave
Whatever I am in the mood for. It varies.
You can’t beat a toast for an all day snuff. F&T HDT, WOS 22, and Toque Nat Toast. That’s about the extent of my variety. I have a box full of Sps. Fruits, Whites Coffees and flavored toasts, every once in a while, I pull them out and try a few, then fill the carry tin with Toast and I’m good for a while.
I would echo an SP, such as WoS Best SP / Tom Buck etc, Toque Original / SP Extra or J&H Wilsons SP No.1 / Top Mill.
For me, the all-day snuff is a smokey American scotch. I know. I’m weird.
I never do a snuff all day, always have at least three on the go. That said the nearest I’ve came recently is toque coltsfoot, going through a bit of a phase with this one.
Viking Dark, & F&T HDT are my daily go to selections.
looks like my next order is going to be rather large… oh well i can’t complain, more snuff for me
For me the all-day snuff is something fine, dry and plain, usually an Indian White, lately I’ve been using a lot of Madras too and sometimes I do it with toasts.
For me any top quality SP is an all day pleasure…
Viking Dark, & F&T HDT are my daily go to selections.
Same here. This pair will always deliver.
Just got to try some Viking dark from a friend, will definitely be ordering some of it!
