I've posted this elsewhere before, but it's more fitting here so I'll say it again. I really love to hit a good menthol (McC O&G, SM 500 or the likes), wait a few seconds and then do a big toot of W.E. Garrett sweet `n mild. The menthol gets your nose going and then the Garrett gets in on the drainage and sweetens the whole deal.
I just discovered the trick of mixing 2/3 American snuff like rooster or square with 1/3 fluffy german snuff, limo ozona. I couldn't keep the Americans out of my throat and lungs no matter what I did. But the german snuff binds up all the dry dusty american and the result is sublime. My favorite right now is ozona president plus rooster
My all time favourite blend is now: Rose Toque original Menthol (Gletcherprise is good) Vanilla
I just stumbled on this (like a lot of my blends) by mixing up some odds and ends, just leftovers, been using this for a couple of weeks now and its great..
Sometimes a mix might sound incredible. I had a good friend who used to drink J&B whisky with Diet Coke. Now that almost sounds like commiting muder but....he liked it it, so it was OK.
Same applies to snuff as far as I'm concerned. I don't fancy Toque Grapefruit a lot on it's own but mixed 50/50 with Absinthe, I cannot get enough once I've started. That does not mean everybody should like it but I do .... and that's OK.
What I'm saying is go ahead and mix whatever you like. For me, most of the times my mixes go into my African Jewel jar. Which means, it was a flop !!! But sometimes, like with Snuffster for instance, a miracle comes forth and then I stick to it.
I always have a mix of Jaxon's Cafe Creme and Molens Latakia 1860 at hand as well. It's another miracle which popped out for me.
I remember the infancy stages of your African Jewel. I think it was called something like "Mixed Grill 54". You were just starting your snuff mixing expertise.
I ALWAYS have a mix of F&T HDT & Toque W&H (sometimes with a little Old Paris thrown in) close to hand. I'm also very fond of snuffster's mix (post #7) with a touch of Toque Violet & Raspberry. I made a Turkish (Toque-ish?) Delight by mixing Toque Chocolate, Rose & Raspberry together with a little Dholakia Ganga & Swiss Chocolate. My newest mix is a bit of all the toasts and US Scotches & Sweets that I have, and it is good indeed.
Toffeenose! Thanks a lot. Now I have a new addiction. I mixed F&T and W&H last night and tried it this morning. Oh Goodness. This may be the best combo I've tried.
Just came up with an obvious mix can't believe I did not think of it before. 75 percent whiskey and honey 25 percent cherry menthol. I used toque for this but I think other brands would work. I call it the manhattan cocktail.
