Old Mill Puro Dominicana
almost went insane after first trying that.
I’ve had nearly similar experiences but nothing quite like it…
that was the beginning of my Snuff Acquisition Disorder issue I have now 
I blame @chefdaniel

I think for me, the awards for best first pinch were for SG SP Scotch, F&T Santa Domingo, WoS Chocolate mint, and WoS Brunswick. Unfortunately, I don’t think you ever quite recapture the wow factor of the initial pinch, as afterwards you know what to expect, but it’s nice to keep chasing it anyway

My intro to snuff went smoothly.  I lucked out and made some decent choices.  Snuff was pretty good.  My third order, however, included F&T HDT, Toque Lime Toast, and 6 Photo Kailash.  I was thrilled with these, which I thought to be everything I was looking for in snuff… minus the learning curve with the toasts.  Every now and then I’ll have a similar experience.  I was more than happy with many Old Mills (especially Banana’s Foster, Butternut, ANTEBELLUM, Perfecto, Evangeline, and Olde English Toast.)  I believe that SAD eventually comes to an end, because there actually is a finite amount of snuff available…or at least I’ve purchased all the snuff that sounds interesting to me.  So the days of being a kid in a candy store are about over for me.  It has been a fun year finding the random paradise snuff though. Â
Getting to really know 300+ different kinds of snuff is a different topic, and I’m happy to know that I am years away from being that kind of snuff aficionado.  I do know that occasionally I’ll revisit a snuff that I initially thought was OK, only to find it amazing. Â

OM Butternut, Kind of Blue, Melba’s toast, Pure Virginia toast, Moulin Rouge,… I could go on, but I don’t want to look like too much of an @chefdaniel fanboy.

It’s QES/Tom Buck for me. But its taken many many years to say that. Theres been others,like Gold Label or HDT, maybe a dozen more when I felt like that. but after sampling hundreds searching for something better, I’m comfortable saying QES/Tom Buck is really best for me and I dont need to find something better. Its nice to sample, but the “relentless-searching-convinced-something-better-exists-obsession” is over and Im happy with QES/TB.

And it’s made me think again about undertaking the QES/Tom Buck controversy. I dont know why I always order both. Im fairly convinced they are the same scent, but Tom Buck always looks just so slightly finer and lighter maybe thats my imagination or my mind really wanting them to be different for some reason.

SG Black Rappee is very strong and moist, so on a hot day out in the sun I wouldn’t recommend it.  But, in the evening with a few friends when you’ve already had a few scotches and are “feeling good”…wow, it makes you feel 100% satisfied with life.

WoS Thyme & Lemon… My family owns a cabin in the Adirondacks, and wild Thyme grows along the shoreline. I fish a lot when I’m up there, and walking on the Thyme releases it’s scent into the warm summer air. It’s intoxicating. Every time I take a pinch of this snuff, it reminds me of fishing up north. I also really enjoy Toque Violet. I don’t have any particular memory attached to it though, It just makes me smile. It reminds me of something that I can’t quite put my finger on. I’ve experienced this scent before, but I don’t recall where or when it was.
