I got myself a Sharrow snuff heartwood box with some pipe tobacco a couple weeks ago and have had a few different mixes in it. The best was somewhere around 1/10 WoS honey Menthol with 9/10 De Kralingse Macuba. Right now it’s 1/5 Gotard Latakia with 4/5 SG Celtic Talisman. Can’t wait to get my new snuffboxes.
Right now, I’ve got about 60/40 F&T Seville and Toque Camphor and Clove in a Rosewood.
About 50/30/20 WoS Grand Cairo, Toque SP Extra, FUBAR Grunt Or, substitute the Grand Cairo for some Tom Buck. Yum.
wow, sounds like everyone’s mixing. I’m just doing plain old Three Thistle.
My snuffbox is reserved exclusively for 6 Photo Natural, and when I get more, this particular snuffbox will still be reserved exclusively for 6 Photo Natural.
i have 9 Triple Techs i used to have filled with various favorite snuffs … but realized i couldn’t get through them all quickly. So now I rotate them … two at a time … current two are Whiskey & Honey and Toast & Marmalade.
Tom Buck. today.
Some mixes occur so randomly that I don’t think they’ll actually work but the Celtic Latakia is pretty good. Makes a new favorite even more interesting.

My everyday blend: Toque vanilla, raspberry, plain toast, WoS sherry and Irish toast, equal parts.
@pieterclaassen came up with an awesome blend, if you’ve got the ingredents,half and half toque peach and WoS HoneyMenthol. Its about the only blend i consider a keeper for the cookbooks. Tweakng the ratio is ok though.
One box has a 7:3 ratio of G&H Dry Orange & G&H Cinnamon. Another has a 8:2 ratio of WoS Strasbourg & WoS Cinnamon; this is my Cotswold replacement as I’m convinced I detected more cinnamon in it than in plain Strasbourg, and it works well.
Toque Spanish Gem in a 3 tech.

@Xander I was thinking of mixing peach Melba and honey menthol. I don’t have toque peach but I’ll make do with that next time I’m in a mixing mood.
@TomStrasbourg I was thoroughly underwhelmed by the Peach Melba. More like Melba than Peach.
Yeah it’s a good snuff to have for my eclectic tastes and I knew it wouldn’t be a pure fruit snuff. It’s certainly not a classic among the ranks of Tom Buck or anything, but I like the balance of peach and Melba, which I’m guessing is some sort of cream vanila thing.
Yeah its a dessert with vanilla ice cream: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peach\_Melba
