I still have a cold and can’t taste anything properly, but this toast is really excellent. At the pinch I get a very clear single malt aroma and with the next pinch after the afterblow I start getting chocolate notes! Really a remarkable toast, easy to take, and so agreeable! The chocolate is long lasting. I do get burning around the edges of my nostrils, something which hasn’t happened with other snuffs I’ve tried. Does anybody get this sensation? And does anybody else pick up the chocolate? BTW I believe ermtony and others have said it, but the Toque tins are really super as well. Roderick, I can’t thank you enough for these excellent, well thought-out snuffs!
I can’t say about the burning, but I do get the chocolate flavour.
Must me your cold. I don’t get much burn from the Whisky Toast.
I get some kind of wonderful, but I don’t get chocolate…
I don’t get a normal in the nose burn from it, it burns the edges of my nostrils. Sure is good, though
I haven’t tried the whiskey and honey toast yet but a couple weeks ago I had a bad sinus infection. I noticed all of the fine and dry snuffs that I used, they all burnt my nose like hell! I figured out that the reason was because due to my cold, I had been blowing my nose way more than usual. So in my case, I had literally rubbed my nose raw, so the snuff made it burn. Now that I’m all healed up, I don’t get the burn when I use these same snuffs.

I occasionally get the burn around the nose too. It depends on which snuff I’m using. Ususally it’s the strong menthols that get me. When I get my Whisky & Honey I’ll see if it gets me too.
I take menthols without this feeling, it only seems to happen with this one snuff. But it doesn’t happen all the time and it’s a small price to pay for such an amazing snuff, so I won’t let that stop me!
well ive only just tried it from the bullet sampler i recieved yesterday (6 for 5) and I guess you could say I am picking up a slight chocolate overtone from the sweetness from taking 3 bullet cup sized dose but the smaller amount i originally tried it wasn’t there. the background chocolate not for me came and went pretty fast however. You might have a more sensitive/accurate sense of smell than I however.
Yeah bullets just don’t vend enough for me to get a good scent from most snuffs unless you fill the chamber multiple times. As to the op maybe it’s just the raw outer edge from the extra blowing, I’ve had that too on occasion under similar circumstances.
As to the burn, yes, it is there but to an enjoyable degree. I
I love this snuff. Excellent tobacco toasted to perfection and scented with a deft hand. Yes, it burns like hellfire at first but settles down so quickly and sweetly that the wee burn is a nice preview of the joy to come. Then you get the Vitamin N delivery and all is well with the world. One of the finest snuffs on the market, and worthy of buying in bulk.
PS There’s a sour mash/yeasty scent in there if you’re looking for it. It hits my nose as a chocolate malt and is freaking delicious, especially when taken in large or huge piles on the boxcar or back of hand. The bigger the better!
