I know alot of us buy alot of snuff. Of course some we find better than others, to our personal tastes. But has there been any snuffs that you just thought was downright terrible? One that you felt was so bad that you vowed to never use it again, wanting to give it away, or throw it out? Today I realized I have one. All my snuffs are either good, real good, or OK. But I got one yesterday, that is really bad, at least to me. The initial flavor may not seem bad, but it turns into a very bad aftertaste, that even after snuffing many others afterward, and drinking even, it is still with me. I am speaking of: QWS Jasmine If anyone wants this, wants to trade for it, wants a sample of it, whisper me. I will never use this again, and Iām glad I only paid $1.99. Another one thatās on the fence as I write this is Dholakia Sparrow Cool.
I didnāt like sparrow cool when I first got it, now itās one of my favorites! Give it some time!
I will. Itās so super dry, and barely any menthol. But the Jasmine. Anyone else have this, is the bad aftertaste just in my tub? Now I do like the QWS Smokers Blend, and Irish Coffee. I am unsure of the Sandalwood. And I havenāt tried the Ice Cool, is it the same as the Rockit Ice Cool, which is OK.
Sparrow cool is one I like, which is odd for me as donāt like menthol. The worst snuff I have ever had - cheap, nasty, smelling of cow dung - is Taxi.
I agree with you there snuffster. Either Taxi Red or Menthol would take the title of worst snuff for me. Although the Taxi Rock is actually pretty good.
I ordered a tin of Taxi blue and Taxi spearmint but didnt arrived yet so i cant tell about it .but the worst snuff i have ever had was Poschl Chief Bull
tom502 - No thanks on the Jasmine myself, and with the Sparrow Cool, you only notice it when you go a couple of days without any other menthols. Itās in there. I wouldāve also given away Gletscher Prise, but used it in a mix instead. Nicotine Rush really did me a service offering the sweet sample packsā¦ some were like sugar on shredded paper.
I have had the same feelings about the W.O.S. Jasmine but not with the same resolve. I put it in a beautiful Chinese inside painted snuff bottle. I have a spoonful every now and again in place of F&Tās Seville when that mood strikes. The geranium in Princes made me sick the fist time I had it in my nose. Now it is one of my favorite scents. I donāt think I would throw ANY snuff out but then I have in fact found myself snuffing spills off the floor.
Not sure which is the absolute worst. But I donāt like: Magnet Peach, Gawith Apricot, Rockit Cherry Pop, Dean Swift Jasmine. Iām on the fence about QWS Sandalwood too. Basically anything that tastes artificially flavored. Still I havenāt thrown these out. I will try again, and again. There are probably a good 50 in my collection Iād never get again, though they are not neccesarily bad.
tom502, I think the QWS Jasmine is one of the best floral snuffs out there. Its nearly identical to the real thing. For me, I would have to say GH Jockey Club. Its like I got hit by every perfume sniper at the mall and every blast went right into the mouth & up the nose. Horrible chemical old lady perfume fresh hair perm smell. And it wonāt leave the nose with blowing, you have to rinse & repeat many times.
This is a good idea for a thread, iāve had one or two snuffs that iāve used a few times then thrown out because I couldnāt get on with them: - All menthol snuffs with the exception of Toque Menthol (theyāre nice but they make my nose run like a tap except Toques one) - Toque Espresso (I normally love coffee flavoured snuffs but this one failed to impress) - Wilsons Apricot (too sweet) - Dholakia (Donāt like any of them) - Fribourg & Treyer āSevilleā (I didnāt throw it out but I traded it for another of the F&T range, I just couldnāt get on with it) As someone else has said here I have had snuff in the past which I used to āhateā not because of the flavour but because I couldnāt have a pinch without sneezing but now my technique has improved they are some of my firm favourites, two of such are: - F&T āHigh Dry Toastā and McChrystals āMild Lemonā
Well, tastes can change very rapidly sometimes and you just start liking something you used to hate, its happened to me many timesā¦doubt that Iāll ever get over my loathing of Taxi though.
QWS makes the best Jasmine? Iāve been doing the Jasmines lately. Seeking the best one as a keeper. Wilsonās-good. Dean Swift-bad. Gawith Hoggarth-on order. QWS you say. hmmmmmā¦ I must investigateā¦
This one is easy for me it has to be WOS Royal George, hidiously sweet talcum powder smell. Horrible. Stefan
The Sparrow Cool isnāt ābadā itās just dryer than the driest HDT or scotch I have ever seen.
Lotzbeck Perle. Hideous. Wilsonās French Carotte is another that I canāt stomach.
Easy one for me, Toque Pomegranate. This is the only snuff Iāve tried that makes me feel queasy. Poschl Gawith Apricot has a similar, but much milder effect on me. I now avoid sweet fruit snuffs.
I personally like the Toque Pomegranate more than the Grapefruit. Certain bitter, acidic fruits donāt seem to make a good snuff, my personal taste of course.
I have yet to find a snuff which I really donāt like at all.
packards would need a gun to my head to snuff it. Though there is one worse. Fish scent snuff now that sucked. I left a tin open up at work (I worked at a semi-fancy restaruant that served a lot of fish.) and it absorbed the scent. Horrid horrid. It was a natural snuff that wasnāt too bad at all actualy.
