    Terrible.

    Yeah right, as if anyone would believe that! Of course they are great, all of them the finest versions of each flavour I have tried, they REALLY taste like they are supposed to which no other snuff maker seems to manage.

    The 10g tins are really nice, I'm so happy Toque hasn't gone down the plastic dispenser route and supplies snuff in tins that we can take pinches from.

    As for the flavours, I must confess I couldn't hold back from trying them all so I didn't take many with a fresh nose. For a lot of the more subtle fruit flavours it seems the famous Toque ammonia is kind of masking the initial attack of the flavour so I'm looking forward to seeing how they taste in a week or so. The ammonia is not overpowering like in a fresh tin of peanut butter and it fades quickly.

    My favourite so far has to be the rasberry, it is exactly like the flavour in Belgian rasberry beer such as Fruli. This is the one that put the biggest smile on my face and I think will be one of my top few snuffs. I am disapointed that I am out of the McChrystals hop snuff as I really want to mix them together.

    I have never had absinthe but this snuff could easily be sold as the flavour of those old fashioned, long, yellow herbal sweets which you are quite popular in Britain. A very unique snuff and very, very nice.

    The cherry tastes of, well, cherry. Much more so than any other cherry snuff I have tried. I was kind of hoping for the darker cherry taste, this is brighter but does not disappoint!

    I have to admit I didn't not like the St. Clements too much, not because it is a bad snuff but because it is such a good snuff! It smells exaclty like citrus peel and for some reason this is a smell I really hate. I rarely eat oranges just because I hate the smell it leaves on your hands.

    I do like the grapefruit however, it has a real nice zing to it but I think would benefit from the ammonia fading a little as the flavour is quite subtle. Hmmm, but I took a pinch as I started writing that and now I have a very nice, fairly strong grapefruit scent.

    It looks like Toque has done it again, I am really looking forward to the whiskey, if anyone can capture a nice peaty whisky in a snuff it is Roderick!

    I can't keep these new snuffs out of my nose!

    I think my new favourite is the grapefruit, Troutstroker, you will NOT be disappointed!

    Also, the absinthe is remarkable, even though it isn't my favourite type of scent it should definitely be on everyones must try list.

    They all seem a lot more moist than usual, I like it. The St. Clements for example was in a fairly solid cake that I had scrape at to get a pinch (this is a good thing).

    Thanks for the review. I have a tin of Absinthe on the way, and now I'm definitely going to be ordering St. Clements (as I actually love the smell of citrus peel).
    I'll let you know what I think when I get em.
    Thanks again.

    Man you all are making me impatient for my order!!! Roderick, I have a suggestion, you should build a factory in the akron ohio area so I can go there anytime and get some good fresh snuff : ) Ok maybe that won't happen but one can dream hehe.

    My last order got lost on it's way, guess someone in the post office smelled the good stuff inside the packed and could not resist taking it home. I'm now waiting for a new order which, thanks to Roderick, will include all 15 flavours!!! Impatients is not the word to descibe me at present, I'm really counting the days!!! In the mean time Espresso has "fixed" itself as my all day, every day snuff. It gives me a fresh taste of pure tobacco with every sniff and the nicotine kick is just right!! If I have to chose one snuff only, this will be it.

    I hope all you guys that have tried the new flavors will get a chance to put up their reviews on SnuffReviews.com. Also remember one lucky winner will be taking home a ten gram tin of each of Toque's new flavors at the end of the month! Enjoy!

    I'm anxiously awaiting my shipment from Toque. I ordered on Friday and possibly will get it today (crossing fingers and toes). I had run out of snuff that I like and was forced to go to a local tobacco shop to get Glechterprise and Garret Scotch snuff to tide me over. I find the Scotch Snuff too dry and harsh and the Glechterprise too moist and clogging. Mixing them has been better, but I may have to get some Skoal or something if the Toque doesn't show up in todays mail.

    abjdmba, you could always add some moisture to your scotch snuffs to get you by. It will make it easier to take & less harsh.

    Hehehe it's pretty sad actually, here I am 39 years old and my highlight of each month is when a new snuff order comes in. Guess that will probably all change once LittleSnoot gets here in November.

    Got my new shipment today. I'm blown away by the St. Clements and grapefruit! I've had other brands of citrus snuff before, but these were just so different.

    Keep up the good work, Roderick.

    a man or woman definately needs something to dig on a thourgh level. Since snuff blending is an art you can consider your selves eager appreciatiors of art. At least we can enjoy one of lifes great pleasures.

    I have tried them all now, which I know is bad, but I can say with complete confidence that they are all perfect. On first sniff my favorite is the grapefruit, it is absolutely amazing. I had no idea what absinthe was like, and was a little surprised that is smelled like aniseed. I don't typically care that much for the scent, but the toque version has just enough of it mixed with other scents that I even find this one quite amazing. I am also very amazed at how natural smelling the raspberry and cherry are. Great work roderick, and as always, thanks for the great service.

    Mine came in the mail today. I am taking my time with them. I am glad that they are individually packaged in ziplock type baggies because the lids were not all the way secured on the St. Clements and the Grapefruit. A bit leaked out but the baggies kept them from contaminating the others scents as well as keeping them fresh. So needless to say the St. Clements is the first I am trying, and it is absolutely fantastic. Having never tried the liquor, I cannot make any comparisons to it. The combination of orange and lemon is perfect with the classic Toque tobacco scent underlying it all. There is a very nice lingering of citrus that stays a pretty good while. This could definitely become a new favorite, going to spend a bit more time with it this afternoon to let my nose get used to it a bit more. This evening I will move on to the Grapefruit, tomorrow the Absinthe.

    Thanks Roderick! Another impressive array of flavors.

    just stick grapefruit up your nose it's kind of like snuff and it is better for marking your personal space.

    Ive just tried the new range, the only one I really like is the Raspberry, but these were a side issue for me, so I'm not complaining, just had to try the new ones out.

    I would like to see a toast. Candy flavours are fun but its snuff for girls, lets have some kick ass snuff now.

    I really like the new flavors. The Absinthe - I love Good n Plenty. The Cherry too, have some in right now. They are all very nice though. Fresh! Tasty!

    A little bit of opium but I swear it has nothing to do with my grapefruit idea. Admit it though it's a brillant idea you'd avoid someone with some pink thing sticking out of their nose. :)

    Although I to am on opium it has nothing to do with me completely agreeing with bob.

    I am also on opium (and so is my wife) but overall I prefer nectarines for nasal use.

    RODERICK!!!! YOU HAVE OUTDONE YOURSELF!!! Thanks! This snuff is so fresh it's unbelievable. The absinthe is amazing as a special treat. The flavour completely takes over the entire skull! Very enjoyable. I had so many doubts about enjoying chocalate, but it really is interesting. I better keep my son away from it!
