I had run out of McChrystals O&G and was looking for somewhere that sells the extra large tin so i placed an order yesterday with My Smoking Shop, today the order arrived damn quick service for sure. As it seemed rude to order only one tin i ordered a WoS Best SP 25g and WoS Best Dark 25g as i had not tried these and they are both excellant and fall into that small category of all day snuffs for me. This has set me thinking what else am i missing out on from WoS. I have only had Tom Buck, Crumbs of Comfort, Apricot, Prime Minister of which my favourite is Tom Buck. Have been considering getting Queens Extra Strong and Grand Cairo but would love some recommendations from those in the know.
The Queens Extra Strong ranks with the Tom Buck in my opinion. Very similar if not identical and very nice indeed. I found the Grand Cairo to be less to my taste. I’m also very partial to their Brunswick. It’s rich, dark and only slightly floral. Burgundy is another good, fairly plain one. Finally I reckon the IHT No 22 is not to be missed.

crumbs rocks, Tom Buck is great. I really like Royal George and recomend everyone try it if for no other reason that it’s a big freak.

Tom Buck, Burgundy, IHT22, Prime Minister, Best SP, Best Dark, these are my favourite WoS snuffs. I’ve tried Wallflower but I found it a bit “dusty”. Irish Coffee tastes like nothing, no flavour at all and very little nicotine. Dry Orange was to dry for my taste. CoC are very similar to Prime Minister but I prefer the latter, can’t really say why. Maybe makes me feel like Winston Churchill!!
My favourite so far from WoS is Royal George - very decadent, sweet and floral. Crumbs of Comfort is fine if you like spearmint lots. Aniseed Extra is very invigorating whilst walking the dog with plenty of menthol.
Some of the WoS snuffs I enjoy: Strawberry SP Silver Best SP Best Dark Strasbourg Brunswick Apricot Cinnamon is worth a try as well.
@ Troutstroker, whats the SP Silver like as i can’t find a review of that one.
My favorite four, in no particular order. Best SP IHT No.22 Lemon Grove Blackberry and Rum
Like Troutstroker I like The Strawberry Best SP & Strasburg.
A medium moist snuff with a hint of mediterranean citrus fruits. The same as Best SP except more finely ground.

Thanks for the info i have placed an order for the following Strasbourg 25g Lemon Grove 25g SP Silver 25g Queens Extra Strong 25g Raspberry 25g
This list could get really long, so I’ll just put my absolute favorites Royal George Prime Minister Best SP Tangerine Lemon Grove Strasbourg Jasmine French Carotte
How about the short list of the Wilsons of Sharrow snuffs that you guys did not like? I have none.
If I ever find one I’ll be sure to make a list of that one
The ones I don’t like are the menthol ones and the those with peppermint in them. But I know I’m unusual in that.
I’ve had good luck with all but one of the WoS lines that I’ve tried so far. I really like their Grand Cairo, Menthol Plus, and Best SP. Also have good impressions from SM 500, SM Blue, Cherry Menthol, Super Menthol and Extra CoC. Only one I didn’t care for was Rum and Blackberry. But I reserve the right to change my opinions later as time goes by, snuff has a way of drifting around like the weather when it comes to tastes and appreciation. I’d refer you to some of the more specific discussion topics that go into depth on the different blends.
