Currently, I have McChrystal’s O&G in my bullet and Toque Peanut Butter in my snuff box. How about you guys? ~Snuffy

I got bored and mixed Toque vanilla with some St. Clements in my bullet. Surprisingly good! Its kinda like an orange dreamsicle with the orange + vanilla thing going on. Yes, I get curious about what different varieties taste/smell/whatever like together, lol.

I’ve got Camphor and Mild in one box, SP100 in another and Dholakia Manjul in another. Stefan

I guess that begs the question, which box? I always seem to have several on the go at once. With me in the office at the moment I have F&T Macouba and Toque St Clements. Downstairs on the chair next to my armchair there boxes with Toque Toast & Marmalade, Wilson’s Best SP, F&T J R Justice, F&T Princes Special, Sam Gawith’s High Mill No 1, SG SP Scotch, Bernard’s Brasil Feinst, O&G and also two boxes containing mixtures of all sorts! And I’m not even going to think about what is on the shelf above my armchair!

a mix of everything but mainly dholakia aniseed menthol (I always leave a little of the last snuff in the bullet when it’s not quit as easy to get out makes for some unique snuffing. I’ve had a bit of everything in it and all the scents still hold on a little but the newest is always the most prominent scent.

I have the following blend on the go at the moment: FandT IHT Wilsons Best SP Royal George French Carotte Toque Rasberry Menthol I made up about a 100g and its pretty smooth…

Let’s see… I have a mini box with Manjul, another with Macouba/Jewel, two mediums, one with Toque Raspberry/other fruit Toque, and another with Toque Natural/Royal George, and a Wilsons box with a Thyme/Peppermint/Bergamot mix. I think that’s all the wood I’m sporting. I do have a dozen or so plastic smash boxes. Some with mixes some with original flavors. A couple of those get dumped back and reused for portability. Cheers!

I’ve got a Toque St. Clements/Gapefruit melange in my bullet for work. Home made snuff from cuban cigar and Toque Chocolate melange in my German box. In my french snuff box, another home made snuff from Solani VA/PER.

I had a bit of St Clements left in my snuffbox, and topped it off with several scoops of grapefruit.

Well, my mixture started when I received a “bad” batch of G&H Wild Mint. I say “bad” because the plastic container had a crack in it, the seal was broken, and it basically tasted like ass. (I since haven’t purchased any G&H snuff but to be fair to the company I don’t hold this to be an indicator of the quality of their product.) I had also recently acquired a nice rosewood Wilson’s Of Sharrow snuff box, so in went the G&H Wild Mint along with half a tin each of Dean Swift Bezoar and Apricot and for good measure I topped off the lot with some old W.E. Garret Sweet Scotch and Wilson’s Of Sharrow Cherry Menthol. Holy Crapola! The mix is quite lethal to all but the most seasoned of nostrils. Tho I’m immune to it myself by now, it fails to bring red eyes and immediate sneezing fits to anyone I dare offer the mix too. I carry some in my bullet for allergy days and the rest is slowly soaking up the spicy seasoning of my rosewood box for now. Not quite sure what to name this mix; was thinking possibly “Hair of the Dog”?

1 part SG Dr Vereys Plus 3 parts Toque Natural

I have 1 box with a 1:1 mix of f & t bordeaux and st. clements. in box 2 I have rooster, HDT and IHT in no measured amounts.

Bordeaux + St Clements sounds interesting - I’ll have to give that a try!

I have a mixture of Toque Original, Raspberry, and Wilson’s French Carotte and HDT in my Onefortheroad oak snuff box at the moment.

Just received my bullet in the mail today and filled it with wilsons apricot.

I carry 4 bullets with me everyday. One I rotate different menthol / fruit blends, One I rotate scotch types, another always has dessert type snuffs. The last bullet ALWAYS has Toque original in it. I don’t leave the house without it!

When I do mixing I will put a little of 2 or 3 kinds on my hand and see if I think it is a promising combo. If I like it I will mix a little using 1 snuff spoon of each kind. Then I tweek it by adding more of which ever kind it seems to need. Not all the combos work but it is fun to try new things.

Boxworthy recently has been Toque Whisky Honey and Toque Toast Marmelade.

I’m still in the ‘throes of the newbie’ and some days use maybe 10 different snuffs or so, guesstimating. Favorites are W&H of course, rOOster, O&G, crumbs, taxi, Dholakias, IHT… that’s just whats sitting on my desk right now. I only have about 40 more in my new snuff curio (transformed old Small Batch Bourbon box). I may have developed a small problem.

Toque vanilla

Im very boring, I get stuck on one type and just carry it for ages.

Has anyone noticed if it helps to age your mix a bit in a particular wooden box? I have my ‘mixture’ snuff sitting in a rosewood box and I think I can detect a bit of extra flavor to it as a result. Or is it just my imagination? I also filled a plastic canister full of some old dried out 20 year old Scotch snuff. The canister held wintergreen oral dip originally so I’m waiting to see if any of the wintergreen gets imparted into the old snuff since its virtually impossible to get the oil out of the plastic can. It still smells like a dinner mint when I open it and I’ve soaked it and run it through the dishwasher. Should make for an interesting experiment I guess.

I have noticed that the oh so fresh untoasted Toque tobaccos breathe beautifully in wooden smash boxes.

I mixed some toque fruit cocktail in my teak wilsons box. It seems much rounder and more pungent. I had F&T Bordeaux then st. clements then a blend of both. The st. clements is in the fruit cocktail so it may have a bit of extra bordeaux. Whatever, It is way better than in the toque tin.

I’ve got two bullets whit toque blueberry ( that don’t last so long as I adore this stuff) and toque original, plus another one whit ozona president

Snuff will definately alter in character stored in wood. Firstly there will be a slight moisture loss due to even the best boxes being not a 100% airtight fit and then it will pick up the character - to a greater or lesser degree depending on quantity - of the previous snuff kept in the wood. The important thing is quantity - a small amount of snuff will dry up more quickly in a box compared to a larger amount; in effect the snuff dries around its edges going inwards if that makes sense, and the greater the mass of snuff the slower this will happen. An interesting thing to do would be to store a large quantity - tens of pounds - in wood and see how it ages; very much in the same way as some liquors are aged in certain types of wood. I think that would make for very mellow snuff but I don’t have the quantity or barrel to try it out!

Absolutely! Snuff ages well in Wood! Wood breathes beautifully for aging snuff. Clay breathes less and is even better for aging tobacco. I guess it really depends on your aging goals. My Wilson’s snuff box now has a Toque Chocolate Peppermint mix. After some taste testing I may add a third Toque to balance things out. Any suggestions?

I would go for a neutral snuff like the natural. I’ve found this to be more or less a magic ingredient when added to my own blends because it balances the mix. I liken the blending I do to making alcoholic drinks; they all have the neutral basic ingredient of alcohol and then the flavours come on top. Try a small amount to see what I mean. However…if you want to make it more complex, I agree with bigblue - vanilla would be agood choice for anything that has chocolate in it.

Ummm chocolate. I haven’t met a chocolate snuff I didn’t like, and speaking of chocolate… tonight’s mix is Toque Cherry & Toque Chocolate 50/50… and they mix well. But y’all knew that. Pepermint? I haven’t a clue.

Love chocolate, hate chocolate snuff. I left some Dholakia chocolate in a snuff box and forgot about it. When I just happened to take a pinch a coupe of weeks late I almost puked, I can only say that in some way it had turned like milk going sour or something. Now I can’t smell choclate snuff without immediateley being put off.

Well…I chose St. Clements. This really spiced it up. Vanilla was too obvious a choice. Natural was also considered but I wanted to tone down the chocolate not accentuate it. Toque Orange Peppermint Chocolate snuff. I put it all in a tin to marry for now.

I had an empty SG apricot flip box which I filled with 5g toque toffee, 2g WoS SMBlue, and 3g QWS apricot. It’s lovely.

Now that I have 4 PCBs and 2 Wilsons boxes I thought I would revive this thread. ash PCB - Dholakia Swiss Chocolate mahogany PCB - Wilsons Honey Menthol Poplar PCB - F&T Seville walnut PCB - WE Garrett Sweet Mild teak Wilsons - Toque fruit cocktail cherry Wilsons - a dry american and toque toasts mix I like having them ready to go when I go out and about. I take 2 or 3 with me every day.
