I’ve been snuffing for almost a year and a half now, but I have a noobish question that’s been puzzling me for some time now. When I read about peoples snuff preferences I often see that folks point out that they prefer to take toasts in the evening. I’m curious as to why as I enjoy toasts (if I’m in the mood for one) practically any time of day. Enlighten me? Thanks!

Then you don’t have the scent of pansies, or whatever, in your nose all night.

lol! I suppose that’s as good a reason as any.

Personally, I like citrus, fruit and sweet snuff in the mornings. Toasts are in the late afternoon/eveing like a nice scotch or bandy as a …nightcap?

I use toasts during the day and prefer florals in the evening. It really comes down to personal preference.

I love HDT and a coffee . Damn good together

I don’t really have particular types of snuff for different times of the day, for the most part. I do like a pinch of a medicated snuff before I go outside, and also at bedtime, but otherwise, I just snuff whatever I’m in the mood for, regardless of the time.

I found so far that I vastly prefer scotches round the clock. I’ve got a modest collection WoS, Toque, and Poschls but I find I like them more as the occasional “snack.” Dental Mild is my current go-to in the PC box…

I prefer scotches or toasts in the summer time, for what that’s worth. Tastes are funny things like that.

I’ve been exploring this snuff stuff for a few weeks now, and only in the past few days realized that “toast” may not, in fact, refer to the grilled bread commonly eaten at breakfast. With such a variety out there (eg. cheese and bacon) it didn’t seem outrageous to me. So, seriously, was I wrong in associating toasts with toasted bread?

Sort of. From my limited understanding, “toast” refers to the processing the tobacco undergoes before grinding, and to a very fine and light, dry grind. There are many kinds of toasts, and I think most people are referring to the grind when they distinguish them that way. Someone will probably correct me though.

The tobacco is toasted.

I remember a quite possibly apocryphal tale of a drunk irish snuff mill worker accidentally overcooking the tobacco thus creating the “Irish toast”.
