So the PepsiChallenge: Artisan Snuff Ficus Rappee v’s SWS Creme du Figue
The Artisan Snuff offering is physically similar to the Robusta Rappee; but there’s a much more prominent tin note of fig in the mix straight off the bat here though. It’s a very ‘sweet’ scented fig on the nose especially initially, it kind of reminds me of a fig flavoured chocolate truffle or something like that. [for me] the fig scent seems to tail off in the nose relatively quickly. I’m not getting a lot of tobacco note either though I am getting the characteristic moisture you get with rappee snuffs and my hanky is getting some occasional use.
In comparison the SWS Creme du Figue: with the SWS I get more the smell of fresh figs in the punnet and then in the nose more of the same but with that creamy slightly dark chocolate scent, fading into a more recognisable SWS tobacco base note (the front drip is much stronger with this - Hanky becomes critical) but I think that overall the scent is longer lived.
I like both; they are very different riffs on the same type of theme.
SNUV Nutty Joe - Evocative of a cup of coffee with condensed milk sitting on a small plastic stool by the roadside in Hanoi when I was ‘back in Nam’ - A new snuff to me; pack a bit of vitamin N punch it seems!
Some post lunch bumps of SNUV Rusty Trombone; I’m not sure that this is a keeper long term but it’s an interesting change from the more usual ‘English’ style I guess… :-?
[New to me] Dr. Rumney’s Brown - Wow! Where has this Bobby Dazzler being hiding Super pinchable for a toast type snuff and so easy to take with level of moisture… Very nice
@MisterPaul i dont eat sweets, so i like sweet dessert type snuffs after a meal, and Nutty Joe is fab, Nutty Ella even nicer ( has a hazelnut vibe on top )

@Just_Browsing - I’m the same, not sweet person, a little cheese maybe, more likely a coffee.
SNUV’s Nutty Joe has big personality for sure! I’m not sure it’s an everyday number for me but I do like it, probably the most creamy coffee snuff currently available I think… :-?
I have a bit of an aversion to ‘chocolate’ type snuff for that reason I can’t stand Nutella spread either, so off the bat it not appealing to me. I might take a punt just to see though at some point maybe; we’ll have to see!
I have been pinching that Rumney’s Brown like there’s no tomorrow and I’m a bit ‘toasted’ now so I’ve switched to Hedges L260 to freshen up a bit :-)
@MisterPaul i adore Nutty Ella, but never tried nutella, its meant to be a chocolate nut spread, but its all oil and sugar (primarily sugar, then palm oil, then 13 percent hazelnut, Bleurgh.)
I couldnt use chocolatey snuffs all day, but a couple bumps after a good meal is fab for me, keeps the weight to a healthy number.
Jocks Choice on a Friday evening. @MisterPaul Thank you so much for your Ficus Rappee review if my postman ever turns up (haven’t seen him all week) I will be able to try it for myself.
Hedges L260 to revive me from my slumber. Some Artisan Snuff Robusta Rappee for most of the morning. Right now a couple of bumps of NTSU Green - I really need to get my ass in the shower!!!
