Non-artisan snuff only.
Mine is F&T HDT. It took me a good while to get the technique for this one, but my persistence more than paid off. It’s distinctive nuttiness gives it the edge over WoS IHT no22 for me.
I’ll second F&T HDT, not only my favourite toast, but my overall favourite snuff. I simply love the flavour, the smokiness, nutty leathery goodness. It’s refined and sophisticated, yet about as simple as a snuff blend gets- no added flavours or chemicals (I hope). #22 is nice too, but not as nice.
This morning as it happens I’m enjoying Toques Natural Toast which I got with my last order. I’m liking it a lot also, it has a lovely creaminess to it that the others lack, and a slight molasses/burnt sugar note which is quite nice too.
Dholakia Madras Toast is nice too, but I put that in a different class because it’s obviously flavoured. I’ve had a few others, such as GH’s Irish D which I wouldn’t buy again, and Toques Lime Toast which simply doesn’t work for me. I’m a bit of a Plain Jane when it comes to my toasts!

Yes @dan11! Toque’s Natural Toast was my first true gateway toast, and remains my second favourite until this day. My 100g economy bag is running low…

Toque Whisky and Honey here. Easy to take and a lovely honey/smoke flavor. Followed closely by Toque Natural Toast.

F&T HDT for me, It was the first snuff I loved and it made me a snuffer.

I generally can’t use toasts, however I have recently discovered the new Dr Rumneys Brown by WoS, which appears to be a toast combined with a natural untoasted tobacco. The result is very usable and very enjoyable. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys toasts and/or plain tobacco snuffs
Difficult question. I gotta call out Toque Lime Toast. Probably too scented to be my desert island toast, but it’s just so freakin’ good.
Plain - I’ll give #22 the edge over HDT.

I like the scent of Wilsons #22 for the tobacco and then with the drip it also has a natural tobacco flavor. Very good.

Definitely F&T HDT. It’s usually the only snuff I carry away from the house.

F&T HDT, though I just recently tried Toque Natural Toast for the first time and I gotta say… it’s a contender. I’d have to have the two side-by-side to know for sure which is my first choice. (Also tried the Toque Lime Toast, which is also great, but I prefer it without the lime.)
Not a fan of IHT #22. People say it’s similar to F&T HDT but I don’t get that, at all. It smells kinda like dirt to me.
SG Irish D Lite is the misfit. Instead of the plain or buttery scent it smells like pipe tobacco. Really nice, but stuffs me up something fierce. I can’t use it.

F&T HDT, Why you ask? It is simply the best snuff on the planet bar none! G’Day
I agree with Zan up there ^^^^^ G’Day

I thought IHT #22 and HDT would be the top 2 contenders! Am glad that Toque Natural Toast is getting some love, too, as it really is up there with the best of them. F&T does indeed have a buttery nuttiness that keeps it, by a hair, in my no1 position.

F&T HDT for the buttery campfire happiness. Different noses, different batches, and/or different tin qualities it seems regarding WoS IHT No22. My first tin of it was just awesome and I really couldn’t tell it apart from HDT, but the next one I opened wasn’t as rich, and was almost as plain as what @smm was talking about up there.
*Toque Lime Toast gets an honorable mention because I love lime, and it’s the best of both worlds. Lucky for me it doesn’t remind me of any kind of cleaning product like it does for some others.

HDT is great, but for some reason I prefer the Tranter #21 I bought. It isn’t buttery or nutty or smokey–it’s just this wonderfully balanced plain tobacco snuff. The moisture when it was fresh was just right. I used to take about six pinches in a row, sit back and get ready to be run over by the N Train. Wonderful stuff. I never tried the Wilson of Sharrow #21 to see if it was the exact same or not.

A great description of HDT @SeanOCDPx. Toque’s Lime Toast is my favourite citrusy toast, closely followed by Toque’s Marmalade. Almond Toast is another wonderful example of how Toque have mastered hybrid toasts. Tranter #21 sounds right up my street Mike_B. Will have to try it.

@Nulliverse: you’re going to need a time machine to get it–I don’t think they’ve made it for a few years now.
Shame @Mike_B! Regarding #22, I definetly think it has an earthy, leathery thing going on (something I like about it). Another thing that I’m really enjoying at the moment, though not really a toast, is Toque’s Silver Dollar Scotch. It has the nuttiness of HDT and the leather of #22, but combined with a distinctive scent of cigar tobacco.
WoS IHT #22 is probably the most potent
F&T HDT is the easiest to use
Toque Natural Toast has the best kick
Samuel Gawith Irish D lasts longest
That’s all I’ve had out of the toast-named snuffs. The first one I had was Irish D, which is probably my staple
