What are these two snuffs like - Personally i’m not a fan of SP / perfumed snuffs, so just want to make sure before i order these two don’t fall into that category. Its been a good while since i last ordered some Toque, have they had a price increase? £3.25 for 25g is £1 more than Wilsons per tin.
Stu, you can go to Snuffstore and pay less, but direct from Toque includes free shipping. You can do your own math sot see what’s better for you. For me it usually works out better to buy direct from Toque, certsinly true when buying in bulk. As to Quit and Coke: I won a nice contest from Roderick a few months back. I had tried all 30 existing flavors at that time, and got to pick 100g of 4 for a prize. Two of the four I picked were Coke and Quit, so IMHO they are among the best Toque flavors. Coke tastes just like Coca-Cola (maybe better-since its not syrupy), but keep your tin sealed tight as the flavor won’t last forever. Quit on the other hand gets better with more airing it seems. It has no added flavors, but a nice nicotine punch that does not “quit”. Its just tobacco, and tastes almost identical to Toque Natural. Both of these are 2 that I never want to be without!
Coke reminds me of Coke flavored bottle cap candy, without being really sweet.
Thanks for the replies, i went ahead and ordered a tin of each. cheers
I love Toque Coke. I have around 400g ++ around. Toffee is great too…and the rest…
The Quit is superb, a nice plain strong snuff. It doesn’t feel that much like an SP to me, so you might like it. I find it closer to the Natural.
@Carol - that was my thought about the Coke exactly! I want to go buy some bottle caps and double check now. Quit is great - I agree with Xander on letting it air out a bit though. I didn’t like it so much when I first got it, I think it was either the ammonia or my newness to snuffing, but it’s grown on me so much that I’ll have to re-order it when I run out.
Been snuffing both all day Quit. tobacco with a somewhat earthy / outdoors tone, a great snuff on its own and i can see it making a good base for mixing. Coke. it really is like the cola bottle sweets, very nice, very moreish. Over all two great snuffs, i can see both becoming regulars. cheers
@FyL - the ‘ammonia’ smell has been discussed a lot with respect to Toque, in actual fact its more a by-product due to the chemistry of it when very fresh, none is added and will go with a bit of gentle airing or just through opening and closing the tin naturally. Its reassuring that the snuff goes out freshly made rather than sitting on shelves for months, you also get it with WoS when bought straight from the factory in bulk.
I kind of like the ammonia bite when I’m taking a sniff from a freshly packed tin.
In regards to Quit, I wasn’t refferring to the ammonia leaving, though that does happen. My tin (havn’t really hit the bulk supply yet) has matured in the few months I’ve had it. It seems to have gotten sweeter.
