I received my order from Mars today. Part of that was the christmas joy from bespoke. what can I say but....A NEW FAVORITE!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS SNUFF!!!!! I WANT TO MARRY THIS SNUFF!!!!!! (well perhaps just lust after it, with reckless abandon)
A Fine to Very Fine grind. Medium Brown in color. Upon the initial Huff, you are bombarded with cinnamon, clove and something else that i can't seem to place. ( Pine perhaps) After a few moments, it settles down into something comfortable, almost like my Grandmothers Baking and aromatic pipe smoke. I was wisked back to the good old days of my youth. The aroma hung around for quite some time after the Surprisingly clean Blow down.
If you like Christmas time, and all the Associated aromas, give this one a try, it's sure to please. -

That sounds wonderful. When I get my paycheck, I'm going to have to give this one a try. My fiancee is starting to worry about how many snuffs I'm collecting, but then I just have to remind her "remember...it's cheaper than smoking! one $3 tin lasts me 3 days instead of $4-8/day for 1 or 2 packs of cigarettes!". That seems to calm her down. She wants me to eventually quit all tobacco (though she's proud that I quit smoking)...but I'll have to get her used to the idea that I want to continue snuffing forever!
Have a pinch from my box, gents!

After 2 days with this Still nothing but the Highest Praise!!! At first I thought I was going to be disapointed, because it seems to clog up at first. But give it about 5 minutes. Clog factor of 1 perhaps. Time will tell
-
I wholeheartedly concur! This is really amazing stuff. I've been carrying it for a few days now, and it is now officially one of my top three favorites. For a non-menthol to get into my top 6 or 8 is nothing short of magic!
-
I just pulled this snuff out of the mail a few moments ago, and I really must confess that I agree with the glowing appraisals here. Scientists say that smell is one of the most powerful aids to memory, and as I just took a couple more pinches, I received a vivid visual memory of a Christmas toy from years ago. Not every snuff can boast that!

It really is a great snuff!!!! I wish it came in bigger bulk instead of the 5 gram smash box. -
-
You're right, Troutstroker! Maybe if there's enough demand, it will be offered in larger quantities.
-
I hate to burst the bubble here, but I'm pretty sure Bespoke closed their snuff-mixing doors. Very sad, as I enjoyed their snuffs immensely (although the Christmas Joy was never my favorite, I preferred the Gin and Tonic and the Martian Rose). It would be great if they started back up, but I understand the decision if it was a money-losing venture. Sniffle.
Aloha,

Oh, no! I like Martian Rose as well. If this is true, then perhaps now is the time to stock up on what is still available before these blends sink into oblivion.
-
From what I understand, Nick is still in business, but is only selling through Mars.
Cheers,

That was my understanding as well!!! But I wasn't certain.... -
-
That is excellent news, and I have never been so pleased to be wrong. Sorry for any confusion I may have caused!
Aloha,
Justin -
You can be happy that you have those four Bespoke. Mars doesn't ship to Poland so I'm harmed in that situation :(

I just got BCJ in the mail a few days ago. I find it in my pocket more then any snuff I own. It has only a hint of a burn when taken. It smells like pine, citrus, a tiny bit of lavender, and even i dare say some clove. I enjoy this snuff as an everyday pleasure. My only fear is that when Christmas comes around ill be bored with it. But every time I take a pinch I'm reminded why Christmas never gets old.

after all the great reviews I read here, I HAD to get some Christmas joy and it just came today. This stuff is AMAZING. I took a pinch about 10 minutes ago and I still can smell it. I haven't even tried the other stuff I got in my order (all of which I've never tried). I had to come here because I had to tell somebody and since I'm the only one around me who takes snuff, I figured you guys are the only ones that care :)
My only regret is that I didn't start snuffing a year ago when this came out. -

The Joy is a great snuff especially around the holidays with some nice hot mulled cider. And better late than never. -
-
I really need to put an order in for some of that one, especially now. The other blends that Nick makes are good too, they where just out of CJ when I ordered. Glad to hear you like it chas, let us hear about the others when you get a chance to sample em.
-
Glühwein is my favorite Holiday cheer, that and roasted Chest Nuts on the lovely streets of Treir, Germany while doing Christmas shopping with the In-Laws. Ah, I'll miss that this year......sorry bout that ramble there!:-)

Ok so you all talked me into it, I made an order for another 25g tin of sp best (my first finished can of snuff) and I threw in some Christmas joy. I can't wait to try it. I also put on some wilsons #22 and latakia a/p.
-
@ BrianC
I've almost finished my Christmas Joy and I already have 2 more smash boxes on the way. I can't get enough of that stuff. I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
The #22 took some getting used to for me but I am liking it more and more each time I try it. In fact, I can see it becoming a daily sniffer for me because it so mild.
enjoy your order and let us know what you think when you try it!
-chas -
Will do, I'm thinking that the 22 will be great for me, I find more and more that I'm not real fond of the heavily perfumed scents, using them daily at least. I do like them for treats but I am really looking forward to trying that one, for I think it might be a great all day snuff for me.
-
Wow, Mike's service amazes me, I just made my order a couple of hours ago and I just saw an e-mail that it has already shipped. With my experience so far, he has a customer for life.
-
I'll have to say that the CJ is everything you all bragged it up to be, absolutely perfect. For my nose it has the perfect grind, the perfect moisture, and about the most amazing scent I've ever smelled. It smells exactly like Christmas. Thank you so much for the recomendation. I suppose I'll have to try all the bespoke offerings next : )

Mo, Trier is lovely. I used to live there many years ago. As well as Bonn, Cologne, Austria and Liechtenstein. My father is German and worked all over so we did most of the German speaking countries. I've lived where I was born in England for the last 17 years and not been back in over 12 years. Got to go in the New Year. -
-
It is lovely. An old Roman city with modern age flare. I met my wife there and lived just outside the city for more than 4 years before coming back to America.
-
Is it just me or does the cj make anyone elses nose run like crazy? Just curious. Definately does not detract from my enjoyment of this fine snuff.
-
Oh, it's not just you........
Mine is running like crazy as we speak because of the CJ. I don't care though, this snuff is delicious!! -
I agree 100%, as a matter of fact I am also lusting over the fragrance as we speak.
-
I tried to order some CJ from mars, but they didn't appear to have any in stock. I emailed to ask when they'd be restocking. Mike's reply was, "Actually, there is a little left. I've adjusted the online inventory to reflect this." Indeed he did. I just placed an order for 5 :) I hope this is as good as you guys say it is :P
-
I ordered 4, thank you for thinking of e-mailing him Satyr!! I am now going to have Christmas Joy for Christmas yay.
