Medium grind and medium moist, easy to take. Tin note is definitely rose, the scent is so strong it fills the room when I open it. I don’t like it much the first few moments after taking a pinch. The scent is overwhelming and perfumey, like an air freshener. It becomes more subtle after a short time, and the rose scent becomes very enjoyable, natural smelling and gentle. I also get a decent presence of base tobacco which is at first hard to detect because of the strong rose smell. The now gentler rose scent lasts in the nose for a long time. Nice snuff which I will probably reorder. Medium nicotine content.
Where that like Button .I could had pressed the Agree or Insightful also.
This is my go-to ‘yardwork’ snuff. As with most, I find Toque Rose is awesome outdoors. I pick up so much more of the subtle nuances of this snuff in the fresh air.
@Jernej Can you compare this to for example WoS Rose? I know that there are plenty of rose scented snuffs out there, but I do not own the money to try out all of them
I have not tried the Wilsons of Sharrow version yet. I have a feeling it is very similar to Toque’s version. A lot of their snuffs (Peach, Strawberry…) are similar.
I just opened my tin. Wauw what a sent you don’t mistake it for something else than Rose that’s for sure ! At first it is a bit chemical but it fades in to a super nice ride taste ! I’m happy !
Toque Rose compared to WoS Rose (of Sharrow): TR is darker brownish coloured a wee bit more moist and (thanks God) lacking that old paperbox smell from WoS tobacco base. Rose flavour is more intese than WoS Rose I have found simmilarities between Toque offering and GH English Rose. Definately very good snuff, better outdoors than indoors. Jack
Toque rose for me this afternoon, just ran across a tin I opened last year, couldn’t take the rose intensity when it was fresh but now it has settled down into something more in keeping with snuff rather than a sachet.
Tuberose is not rose, it’s a relative of rose, but different. I have this snuff, and have never gotten really any type of floral scent from it. Instead, it seems to be a really light back-note of something I can’t describe. It’s nice enough, but I don’t use it very often.
My bad, I thought the topic was TubeRose, not Toque Rose. Toque Rose I like a lot. The scent is very pure and clean. I don’t use it often, but it is very good.
