@smm Great haul there, sir!
Yes, a good array. You should find some new favourites in there
On Friday I finally got my order from Mr. Snuff and it had 4 Toque bullets and a tin of Coke.
The bullets are blueberry, peppermint, lavender and ginger.
I was really looking forward to the Coke, but when I opened it, it just had a strange smell, nothing that reminded me of cola, when I took a pinch I could feel a faint cola for a few seconds then it was gone, and then I was just stuffed up. I didn’t get any of the “Fizz” that I have heard people talking about.
Also the flavor of the bullets is barely noticeable, if it didn’t have the flavor printed on them I’m not sure I could even tell. Most of then also hit me in the back of the throat.
So far I have been pretty disappointed, I heard such good things about Toque and this was quite a letdown.
Could it be that what I got from Mr. Snuff was stale? I have an order coming directly from Toque and I really hope it will be a better experience.
I mostly took WOS untill now, cause that is what is available locally. When you open the tin you don’t even need to bring it to your nose and you can recognize the smell right away. I’ve also had some McCrystals O&G and some Ozona President, and they also had a decent flavor right away.
I tried yesterday to take the ginger and peppermint Toque, I expected to be able to feel a bit of cooling from the peppermint and some burn from the ginger but none.
Have you gotten stale snuff from Mr. Snuff before ? What can one do ?

I suggest hydrating the Toque Coke (and bullets) , letting it sit for a day .Then you should get some of the scent back . I had a similar experience with some Toques last year .
The Toque coke scent is pretty authentic …but also quite subtle and brief on the nose (in my experience) .
Personally I ve enjoyed the Toque USA flavours far more .
So far as Cola goes …tinned Samuel Gawith is a powerful scent …though seems to smell like a lot more than just cola 
. Poschl Gawith cola takes some beating in my opinion .
What do you mean by “takes some beating” I was about to order some Poschl Cola. I think the tinned SG cola isn’t available anymore, or I would order that.
I am really trying to get my cola fix from somewhere else than drinking diet cola ( my car is filled with empty bottels 
)
Any recommendation on how to re-hydrate ?
What I think ‘takes a beating’ means is the fact that Poschl isn’t highly regarded on the forum. There are dozens of threads about rehydrating if you use the forum search.

Tins of Samuel Gawith ‘SG Cola’ are in stock at MrSnuff . As far as I know , it’s still in production . 
I am very fond of Poschl Cola , it’s mentholish but it’s become a regular snuff for me . Quite expensive though. .
I m quite fond of a few Poschl snuffs …but I m reluctant to be part of the Poschl direct sales network . I can’t buy the stuff by the pound …or even the ounce Buying Poschl reminds me too much of buying packs of cigarettes…never quite having enough inbetween paydays .
Yeah I see cola still on the SG website, but I’m reluctant to order again from Mr. Snuff, it was packaged fine, but took about a month to arrive, and apparently I need to re-hydrate the Toque snuffs I ordered.
snuff.me has better prices for Poschl snuffs, almost 1/2 the price as Mr. Snuff, also they arrived in about 6 days, though the packaging wasn’t the greatest.
I don’t have any experience with the bullets, so I can’t help you there. As to the scents for the tins, if the snuff seems a little dry (and that particular blend isn’t supposed to be), then rehydrating can help. However… I have sometimes found that if a snuff is too moist, that can also have a detrimental effect, and a period of airing out can help. To air out - take the lid off and leave it a while. To rehydrate - take lid off, and put the tin in a tupperware type box, with a damp scrunched up paper towel next to it but not touching it. Pop the lid on the tupperware box and leave overnight. I don’t think Coke emulates a cola scent, maybe it doesn’t gel too well with the tobacco scents, but do find it an OK snuff for occasional use. Blueberry is one of my favourite fruit snuffs, but the scent isn’t long lived. I haven’t tried the others you’ve mentioned. If you’re new to snuffing, this can have an influence too - I found it took me a while for my snout to tune in to several snuff types. I found florals revolting when I first started, but now I really like them - and some of the subtle ones were too subtle for me at first, but now I can get the full aroma from them.
Thanks, I’ll try to let it air out, but why would it need to do that. The scent has been getting more cola as it goes on, but still very faint, and only lasts a few seconds.
I know what you mean about acquiring a taste. When I first got a WoS lemon grove, I would just tolerate it if I had nothing else, but now it is one of my favorites.
I have been taking snuff occasionally for years, when ever some one would offer me, at the most once a week, but I have recently been taking it a lot more and ordering for myself.
The toque snuff tend to be very fresh and that means that the snuff may still off-gassing ammonia from the milling process. If that is happening it makes it very hard to detect any flavoring. A little airing out will cause the ammonia to dissipate leaving the snuff scented as it should be. For toque, if a goodly amount sticks to your finger when you put it in the tin then it is as moist as it should be.
@yisraeldov alot of my orders have been coming in late especially over the holiday season they typically are flogged. It usually takes 2 weeks for it to get from the UK to Aus and 3 weeks if custom stops it, I try to plan ahead though it can be an issue when the custom aspects kicks in.
I don’t use Poschl due to the parrifin base that messes with my nose, they seem alittle gimmiky to me though dont ask me why I have no idea 
Just got a tin of Toque Cola and it was fresh and moist. Great Cola scent as well.

Where did you order from.
I took some yesterday and it DID have a cola smell and it did last for quite a while…
Directly from the Toque website, actually.
The best way to get Toque is directly from @Roderick at Toquesnuff.com. You can buy bulk snuff and there are good deals on tins; 6 for 5 25g tins, and 10 for 9 10g tins. Plus it’s cheaper to order directly rather than from other sites.

I agree that there is great service from Toque, but I did a comparison once and I found that it IS cheaper to order from at least one of the other sites, even if you get the 10 for 9 deal.
