Traditional English / Scots Snuffs?

A

What would be the traditional type snuffs for early days of snuff in Scotland/Ireland/England

B

Toasts, SP, and highly perfumed for the aristocrat crowd like F&T. I will have to step into my delorean and fire up the flux capacitor to make sure though.   

S

Also Kendal Brown and rappees.

Nice Thanks guys!

Sir Walter Scott’s Lundy Foot is inspired by the original high toast, which is a classic model of the scotch toast. American dry scotches are probably a good example too. The perfumed snuffs were the sorts for aristocrats and new money types, but I suspect the mainstream of England/Ireland/Scotland liked plain tobacco snuffs, as they were considerably cheaper than the ‘fancy’ blends made up for the lords and ladies.

I know that in @PhilipS opinion London Brown is the only currently produced snuff to resemble classic Morlaix, which was a traditional snuff for rustic types in Northern France, and probably very similar to coarse ground snuffs consumed worldwide. As @cpmcdill said, toasts were traditionally produced and consumed in Ireland, and promoted as a common cold remedy elsewhere.
Mass-production of “industrial” powdery snuff flours as we know it today began in Seville, though nowadays such produce is closely associated with the English snuff milling tradition. Powders were usually consumed plain, or mixed with light vinegar-based perfumes. In the Spanish market such concoctions started to fall out of favour by the beginning of the nineteenth century, when the Rapee style French snuff began to flood European markets. The presence of London Brown and Black Rappee in SG portfolio is a testament to that.
KB, SP, and Medicated snuffs strike me as the most idyosincratically British snuffs, adn among them the one with the oldest and most esoteric tradition is SP.
So, in a probably inaccurate manner, I picture the menu of a countryside British tobacconist from yesteryear in the following manner: some carefully fermented, unscented Rappee, natural powdery snuffs (toasts amongs them) and some of that powders sprinkled with bergamot oil, in old SP style. In the Lakelands, the market would surely be full of Kendal Brown style snuff… just conjectures, but who knows…
If you’re looking for the snuff consumed by the royals and the higher classes, you might take a look at the F&T catalogs from the early 1800s… but be wary, most of the snuff they produce nowadays is very different, tough their Santo Domingo could be quite like early lightly scented rapes.
I hope this reply helps in your snuff odissey!
