Has anyone found a review of this or would you like to make any comments? I searched the forums and looked on snuffreviews but didn’t see any information. Curious to hear what this one is all about. Not much information available on the various Wilson toasts.
It’s this one. The name seems a bit variable at times! Not to be confused with the No 20, which is a toasted SP and very tasty as well.
Sorry Tony, I should have been more specific. Actually I was talking about #20. It says on the tin Irish D.H. Toast No. 20.
Ah! All clear. I see there is no review for that one. (I’d better put that right!). My own notes on it: Rich brown in colour, less finely milled than many toasts but very tasty. Almost a hint of an SP in the flavour.
Thanks, Tony. Their website has some descriptions of their various snuffs but it’s incomplete and sometimes very confusing.
The No 21 doesn’t appear on the current mail order list from Wilson’s though I have noticed that Tranter’s still offer a No 21.
Thanks, guys! I’ll crack open the tin of #20 probably after I finish some other SP I have open.
Well I couldn’t resist and needed to try something new again, so I opened my tin of #20. Wow, Ammonia with a capital “A”. This snuff is fresh! With my neverending cold my taste buds are a bit dead but this seems very similar in a way to the Sam Gawith SP Scotch I got from Farley. It has a strong fragrance with an aromatic aspect, is most, and fairly finely ground. I’ll try more tomorrow and see if I can get a better line on the taste. Planning on ordering at least an ounce of the #22 soon.
It seems I’m living vicariously through you gents. Do carry on!
Likewise, Juxtaposer! Farley, I would prefer numbers but unfortunately their price list uses just the names. Their website has snuffs that aren’t listed in the price sheet, and vice-versa! It can be very confusing. I think a proper catalog is in order.
The Irish High Toast No 22 is a wonderful snuff, I have it with me today. This is one of the snuffs I never want to be without ever. Same goes for Tom Buck. I’m not in love with Burgundy, Prime Minister, Crumbs of Comfort, Irish Coffee etc.
Farley, I should have asked which you prefer between the Wilsons #22 and Sam Gawith’s Irish D Original we got with the group buy. Are they similar? I have an ounce of the #22 on the way…
Alright then I will chime in once my #22 arrives and I do a comparo!
Meanwhile the #20 is a very nice snuff once the ammonia dissapates. It’s clearly an SP type but moist and with a stronger and to me more enjoyable flavor maybe because of the toasting. I don’t like their Best SP but this one I do like! If you like SP snuffs then this is a must-try!
Let us know how you like it HRhuffinsnuff when you try it.
Well, I just found this thread because I was looking for some information on the Irish D.H. Toast, #20. At first, I thought I had gotten one of those rare, mislabeled tins. I have another tin of the #22 Irish toast, so I was expecting this #20 to be some variant on that overall theme. But, it’s really nothing like #22 and after reading this thread I’m pretty sure I didn’t get a mislabeled tin. Overall though I like it. It’s got a rich brown color and it’s fairly moist. I do certainly detect the SP base, but its subtle and easy to take.
