I was lucky enough to receive a sample of this from @Roderick. I loved the scent but found it short-lasting and a bit weak (smell-wise). Roderick said he was going to fix this, so my question is, what is almond toast like now? I’ll be buying some next year, but too skint to buy any snuff at this time.
I enjoy the taste tester sample and love it. I got the new and it is heavier in scent. I was happy with the original closely resembling a toast; and the new is a Almond toast on it’s own filled with almondessence, like a manichino cherry in your face. Just wasn’t available in the big bag yet!
I’ve got that one on the way right now along with Camphor and Clove, Coltsfoot, and Ginger plus some older Toques I’ve yet to try. Christmas is coming early for me. Glad to hear the flavor is heavier. I’ve got Natural Toast for my straight toast needs.
Its got too much almond flavouring for my liking, wish I could try the original
@n9inchnails that’s just what I hoped for. sorry it’s too much for you, but I love a good punchy smelling snuff. I thought at the time that this snuff could become a classic with a stronger stench, so I’ll probably be buying this in bulk, along with the camphor & clove and strawberry. @Roderick
@SnuffySnuff said “so I’ll probably be buying this in bulk,” 25 g only But if you can get him to make bulk available let me know.
i felt, in the sample, the Almond scent was strong in the tin but not in the nose … Roderick has enhanced the Almond in the nose … I find it to be in my top 3 now. Delicious.
@snuffbrant that was exactly my view too. very pleased it’s been improved in the nose because I love the scent. @Roderick is Lord and Master of toasts. *doffs cap*
Just a matter of asking. I’ll try and make the new ones available in bulk next week.
You mean I’ve been waiting all this time for bulks to show up and all I had to do was ask? :-?
what? the fuck peopl Toque florals are great.
Have to admit, I’m not a fan of florals at all. In fact I hate them, with the exception of F&Ts, which are more floral perfumes than straight florals. If there were only florals, I wouldn’t be a snuffer.
florals are one of my favorites. In the winter it’s so strange to smell roses while walking in the snow. In the spring when all the flowers are blooming to add one more scent through floral snuffs will often produce a F&T effect.
I find that surprising, too, bob and roderick - I love l-o-v-e toque florals. In fact, they’re the snuffs that initially sold me on snuff.
I dig the lavender, I suppose some people might think of it as more of an herbal idk…
got some of this on the way right now (should be here tomorrow hopefully) i just hope its as good as you all say it is
Got a tin of Almond toast the other day… Awesomeness! Marzipan… Mmm.
I just got the almond toast today. I can’t compare it since this is my 1st toast and only using snuff for like 2 weeks . I do know that I am loving this smell though and this is my favorite right now
Is this along the lines of a marzipan scent, cos I’m trying to get my girlfriend into snuff to help her sinuses, and she loves marzipan!
I just uploaded a video review to youtube on toque almond toast youtube.com/watch?v=04DUv-ioe5A&sns=em
@Bacchus68 great vid. That sure made me want to try it.
spot on. Thanks and good work.
See, that’s what I love about this site. I was snuffing with you. TAT, of course. Until the world comes to it’s senses and snuffs more, sometimes to share our hobby and passion we turn here. If I had a webcam and weren’t a bit xenophobic, I would make the same kind of vidis. This site adds an element of fellowship that I find priceless. It’s like sharing a pipe or having a C-gar w/ a friend. Bravo.
I worked at a coffeehouse about 10 years ago, and the aroma of this snuff is identical to that of the Torini(?) almond syrup we used. I thought I wasn’t going to like it - that it would either be too sweet or too dry for me, but it’s quickly become one of my favorites. I tend to keep to one flavor per day, and switch everyday, but when it’s an almond toast day not only are my fingers constantly in the tin, but I generally keep to it for a couple days in a row. Can’t speak to the odor lasting long once in the nose. Very few last long in my nose, but I’m convinced this has more to do with me than the snuff. I have poor olfactory skills in general.
While I do get almond essence, which has always reminded me of cherries, I pick up some sort of petroleum-ness to this one. It reminds me of an oil processing plant I once worked at. Not in a bad way, though. I think i’ll air this one out for an hour and retest it again and again and again and…

I get this sometimes too, but its not surprising as they are both fruits in the prunus genus.
@Pincher I get that too with some toque snuff, but I though it was more a paraffin in the back ground. With time I had over come this; I haven’t been able to detect it in my most recent batches.
The oiliness has been confusing me a bit. So much so, that I went to my spice cabinet and took a whiff of pure almond extract to compare with Toque’s Almond Toast. The petroleum is present in my almond extract as well, but less so. Maybe this is a side scent of almonds that I never picked up on before.
my last order included 6 25g tins. i’m pretty new, but this is my favorite so far. this last batch seemed a little darker in color–not so blond. as i also like the natural toast-- i like the AT after it airs out a bit–with just a little background flavor. it’s also a pretty good mixer. sometimes i put just a little bourbon snuff with it in my tiny little “day” box for a little smokey flavor. don’t do it much–as i just like this very much as is.
@Roderick Isn’t Marizpan an almond based confection?
Found an old thread.
I got this based on the reviews - toasty and a solid, sweet marzipan almond “taste”.
I got a 25g tin from Mr. Snuff with a lot of others, and was disappointed in the distinct lack of scent. Barely noticeable nutty scent in what is otherwise a natural toast scent. I got the impression this was a pretty in your face sweet almond scent.
Is the issue that I bought a possibly older tin from Mr. Snuff, or am I overestimating the reviews?
I think you might have got an older tin - I remember it as being definitely toasty and almondy when I tried it. Try ordering some direct from Roderick.
@DireWolf I agree with Justin. Order direct from Toque http://www.toquesnuff.com/ I need to replenish my Bulk. Running low on this one.
I did order the 10 tin special not too long after posting this. Included some Vanilla, too - just to see what the difference was. First order from Toque, so I am looking forward to a wide variety of new snuffs.
