I think we can all agree that Toque makes great snuffs and that we like most of the flavours. But which are the ones you didn’t like? For me it is Pomegranate, which I love as real fruit, but the snuff tasted really artificial and it was little too sweet for me. The only other was Lavender, but it’s good, I just don’t like the smell of real lavender. I was surprised that I even liked peanut butter in snuff form, as I quite hate it otherwise. Also, sorry for all the commas I squeeze everywhere, it’s just too hard for me to write without using long and complicated sentences
The Flavors I don’t like are the ones that are not available. I Love them all, maybe not today, but tomorrow, or the next day it fits right in, and makes my nose sing, La La La. Ed
i bought a bullet of cheese and bacon out of curiosity and i found i liked it, i also didnt like the pomegranate or the champagne but! im glad to say that all the others i like, well, the ones ive bought so far :@)
You don’t like your florals, Roderick? I must say that I can’t stand florals, but I love Toque Rose. The one that doesn’t agree with me the most is Espresso. I haven’t had Lavender or Violet, even though I own the darn things.
Pomegranate is one of my top favourites! I’m still waiting for a Toque snuff I don’t like.
The only one I sorta don’t like is the Espresso. It tastes good going in, but the aftertaste is unpleasant to me. I do like it blended with others, like toffee or chocolate though.
I don’t dislike it, but the one i don’t like as much as the others is the Violet. Its a bit too intense for me, but i think mixing it 50/50 or 33/66 with the vanilla might mellow it out a bit. Im from the USA, but I tried some of the parma violet candies from Totally wicked UK’s parma violet eliquid promo. Those tasted amazing and very fruity, not so overpowering violet aroma. I believe there might have been vanilla in the candies though, so thats why im thinking of blending with it. Lavender however, i do like a lot. Lavender is the fragrance that my grandmother used to burn as incense cones back when i was a kid so it brings back memories as she is no longer with us today. That being said the violet snuff is pleasant for sure, just not one of my top 10 if you will. If you dont like the cheese and bacon Roderick you must have had some snuff tester that did, because its super well balanced and the smokiness of the tobacco (latakia perhaps?) comes in well with the bacon flavor, also when i’ve over-sniffed and had some hit my throat it had a salty taste to it almost like the real thing. I hate fake bacon flavor (precooked spray on fast food bacon) And the snuff really doesn’t taste false to me.
Not trying to kiss Roderick’s arse here but I like every Toque. My favourites are Lime Toast, Rose, Coke and Whisky and Honey. I’m not keen on the Raspberry plain or menthol but then again I’m not keen on raspberries, but still very good snuffs both of them. Stefan
Only one I didn’t like was the Cheese & Bacon. A few others are not winners with me, but also not unpleasant. Then about 10-15 of them are “must always have on hand” snuffs.
I love almost every Toque Snuff. Espresso is one that I gave away because I didn’t really taste espresso, more like dirt to me. Otherwise they are all good (I’ve tried about 25 of them so far). Not sure on the Spanish Gem yet - it’s a bit sweet, but I may end up liking it with more use. Whisky & Honey is the very best I think. A pinch of Menthol followed a few minutes later with some Peach is fantastic (not good mixed though for some reason).
I didn’t care for Coke and forgot about the Espresso. Nope, didn’t care for that one either. OT- I think SP Extra is the best SP ever. Even compared to WoS and McChrystals.
Pretty sure I’m all alone on this but the only flavor I never cared for was Whiskey and Honey.
@ Spyro: that one had to grow on me a lot. It was packed so tightly, but fluffing it and airing it really seemed to help it. I quite like it now.
The only one I don’t care for is Absinthe, although I still think its a great snuff. That is a sign of real quality I think; even the stuff you don’t like can be appreciated. I’m glad a few more grinds came along and if Roderick does a ‘Wit and Wisdom’ as far as I’m concerned the catalogue will be complete.
I’ve tried all the Toques except Cheese & Bacon, because I don’t like (or eat) meat products. Pomegranate is by far and away my least favourite - too sweet and musty for me. The Apricot, Espresso, Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Vanilla, Toffee, Violet, Spanish Gem and Coke flavours don’t do much for me either. I find with Toque that I either love the flavours or I hate them. Fortunately the rest I love (especially Whisky & Honey, Peach, Lavender, Natural Toast, Quit, Natural, Original, SP Extra, Menthol and Grapefruit - when it’s fresh of course).
“I think we can all agree that Toque makes great snuffs and that we like most of the flavours.” Tad presumptuous isn’t it ? I’m sure there are plenty of folks who would disagree with that.
Sure that maybe true brad but I think it fits more into the catagory of tact. Like it’s more like he’s saying some of your snuffs I hate but don’t take it the wrong way. So I’ll but it this way hate the peanut butter. I don’t even know what it is that I hate about it. I just hate it. Kind of like that one kid I went to school with. I could never figure out what it was but he just annoyed me same with the scent of that snuff. P.s. I sincerely do just mean that I really think it’s just a tactfull act not meant to be a statement of fact. I.e. I’am not trying to bust anyones balls just saying that’s how I see it.
Absinthe. I got a big ol’ tin of it and I can’t stand it.
@Pike: Try mixing it with some Coke, it tastes just like gingerbread
@ Pike: there is always the trade thread.
