Toque Ginger

S

Hi I’m looking for folks’ views on this snuff. When I received a sample, I couldn’t make my mind up about it. I think I need to buy a 25g tin and spend more time with it. This snuff is even more of a love it or hate it snuff than cheese and bacon IMO.

B

yeah I hate it. I loathe it and could see how people would love it.

C

I like it here and there, not an all dayer for me.

S

i am in the “love it” category on Toque’s Ginger … i like the bite and bright scent of it … then it settles into something more exotic.

M

Ginger made me wonder about the scent, I know it is great for an upset stomach or clearing the digestive tract. I took some out of the closet and sniffed a tiny amount. It had a slight burn to it and made my nose wet quick. It also seems to stay with you. Will have to try mixing some with a sweet snuff and some orange like a ginger orange toast

B

I’m on the fence with it. To @Roderick 's credit, the scent is exactly what a freshly cut piece of ginger smells like. However, I was looking for a a sweeter, more artificial scent more like gingerbread.

J

You can use it for mixes!

T

I’ve just ordered a tin and look forward to trying it. I know @Roderick only uses natural ingredients, and I love the taste and smell of fresh ginger. It will be interesting to compare it to Molens’ Gingerbread, which is probably more to your taste, @Bizzle.

M

The ginger is nowhere near overpowering, more of a intimation of ginger that lets the tobacco come through nicely. I don’t love it but I do like it.

B

funny thing noses. To me that one is like hammer of ginger. In fact if Roderick said to me ha ha I died ginger brown and there is no tobacco I’d say “not too suprising”.

LOL, once you’ve been traumatized by Bohica all else seems mild.

@bob I’ve snuffed pure ginger powder and it burns a hell of a lot more than Toque Ginger. As far as Bohica goes, It isn’t the intensity of the burn I can’t take, it’s the length of it. It is really intense though.

B

@TomStrasbourg I hope you got your money back. Or am I assuming a little much about why you snuffed pure ginger?

B

I fine the toque ginger to be subtle. I will include it with my next toque order, Along with the big bag of almond toast yum

Don’t care for it so much for the Ginger yet. I try it every day, though. I guess I’m more of a Maryanne guy.

T

@bob It was in the spice cabinet at my house and I just figured I’d go for it. I do the same thing with hot cocoa powder sometimes. I’m just an oddball that way.

M

@TomStrasbourg I was going to agree but I didn’t want you to think I was agreeing to the “Oddball” part I do the exact same thing

B

oh he’s an oddball. I think most of us are.

Being a big fan of Ginger and lemon tea and chocolate gingers I felt compelled to try this as part of my 10 collection and I was not disappointed. Scent is exactly like fresh ginger while allowing the tobacco to still be present. Leaves a wonderful spicy sensation for a good 15 minutes or so. While not a sit in front of the telly and hammer it snuff, it has accompanied me well on my night shift this past week. 8/10 and a snuff I think i’ll use for some time. Pure Roderick magic.

M

Toque Ginger has to be one of the most unique scents ever to grace a fine quality snuff. Spicy, but not  to the point of being bothersome or heavy, like Micah says, the. " Scent is exactly like fresh ginger…" Its not an everyday snuff for me, but I find it very pleasant whenever I take it.

S

I really like Toque Ginger and was wondering why I could not find it in a spare bag in Toque website…

One root I eat frequently. But don’t care for it in my nose!
