Toque Ambrosia

K

Hi all

This looks really interesting. Considering adding some to my next order. Thoughts on this product?

W

Coarse, moist, dark. Flavors of chocolate, vanilla, bubble gum, wet cardboard. Phenomenal. Absolutely add it to your next order.

@psicko gave me a healthy portion of this and I really enjoy it … sweet but not over the top.  

It’s got a little honey, liquor and floral aspect which fade to a nice chocolate / tobacco scent.

Love it. One of my every day snuffs.

@Konrad_von_Marburg, I have a good number of tins of Toque Ambrosia and love the stuff.

I have long been a fan of Spanish Gem and I honestly cannot decide whether I like that or Ambrosia the best.

They are both excellent snuffs with plenty of flavor and nuance, and a good nic hit as well.

FWIW

Just found out about this at the last minute before I finally placed my order after many consecutive nights of obsessing and procrastinating.  I tried snuffing briefly five years ago and am stoked to discover what this line has to offer!  I’ll be watching the post box with wide nostrils!

Order’s arrived.  Heartily second @fredh on this.  Spanish Gem and Ambrosia are penomenal snuffs neither of which I’d wish to be without.  For me the Gem is much more elusive to pin down

S

I do not know if I like Spanish Gem or Ambrosia better, I definitely like the grind of Ambrosia and the way the scent plays with the base.

I have both and I have to go with the ambrosia, the Spanish gem is too fine for me. Then again maybe none of my snuffs have any moisture anymore

@Tobaccoman you are probably right about the moisture funny thing is, I found that the lost tin of Ambrosia I found was easier to take than fresh with just the mineral oil for moisture. Same with Toque USA Citrus. Spanish Gem and the rest of the non-USA Toques aren’t oiled so they do get very dry if you aren’t taking care of them (I keep the tins in Tupperware) but can easily be indirectly rehydrated overnight.

T

@ar47 some of them I actually don’t mind dry. Peach raspberry and ambrosia are those. They are takable dry. But the others are so fine I should try a rehydrate and that’s most likely the issue. I want to try with either original or quit. Just the Ole paper towel in a Tupperware trick?

T

@ar47 got the original toque in a tupper with the wet paper towel. Let’s see if I am able to take this later.

Ambrosia for me every time. Gem is a great snuff but ambrosia is probably my all time favourite. It changes sometimes due to the novelty of new flavours etc but it is my desert island snuff.

S

Update, this stuff makes my nose run like a faucet. The scent and grind are on point though. Spanish Gem doesn

@Tobaccoman how did it work out? If paper towel isn’t enough you can always use Perlite but it can easily become overkill

T

@ar47 eh I did it and tried it, it just puffed down the Ole gullet again, and I haven’t touched it since. I might grease this one up

T

@ar47 I think it might just be the grind and the flavour, just untakable for me, I even added some parafin oil
