Hi please excuse my ignorance, being new to the world of snuff I have a question about toque. I’m placing what was a small order but now Massive as I got carried away haha but what grind is all the toffee and spanish gem etc are they all different grinds ? Or is their a base grind for all ? As I don’t want anything to fine …well not yet anyway as I need to get my technique right first, I hear bigger pinches are. Better ?
There’s a base grind for most of their snuffs which is medium - fine, with the toasts being much finer, and Berwick Brown being much coarser.
Ah thanks spam I have a lot to learn which is exciting as well !
If you go to snuffreviews.com and look under toque it will have the grind and dryness under each kind
Ah great that’s a fantastic site thank you brandasaur
Toque was my first snuff order and I learned from Toque snuffs. You should be fine as long as you don’t order toasts. Also I feel like Quit and SP Extra are both a little finer than the usual Toque base.
I agree, but the Toasts are not always apparant by name. They include Bourbon, Whisky & Honey, Cheese & Bacon, Toast & Marmalade, Lime Toast, Natural Toast. All of the other Toques are medium-fine except Berwick Brown, which is medium coarse. These should all be reasonably beginner friendly.
I would still order Toque toasts though. Ok they do take a while to master for a newbie, but IMO Toque’s best snuffs are the toasts. W&H, and Lime Toast are exquisite. Stefan
I did not know that Cheese and Bacon was a toast. I never took much of an interest in it.
last snuff on my to try list.
Eh. I know it’s supposed to be good, but I like bacon even less than I like bleu cheese.
No, its supposed not to be good, as per its maker’s design. I think it achieves this. The weird thing is that some people actually like it.
It is the perfect snuff for breakfast! Breakfast is about the only time ive used that snuff.
Where’s Toffeenose these days? She loves Cheese & Bacon and I’m surprised she hasn’t weighed in. Anybody seen her lately?
No. But she does drop in and out as standard.
I enjoy it for breakfast too. -Kidnapper
It sounds so strange but it goes well with cheese & bacon
It just confuses me. One day I like it and the next I think, ‘I must have been mad to have created this monster!’ It’s far worse than Marmite. At least with Marmite you either love it or you hate it. What’s weird about Cheese and Bacon is, it’s one of those strange creatures, you like it one day and not the next. An anomaly unto itself. Edited
I found some Marmite locally, and had to try it. I think I would like it if it were not so damn salty.
I may have to get some c&b on my next order, to remind myself of how horrifying it is! In a good way.
