The baked apple snuff is one I mixed myself. I picked up a bottle of scent that was baked apple. It smells just like a baked apple. I'm still working on which base tobacco I like it with, but baked apple scent makes a great snuff.
Started off the morning using the Toque Espresso while I was running the snow blower. Now I just took a healthy eye watering pinch of S.M. 500. You know, a big pinch of heavy menthol snuffs would be good for flushing the eye when you get something scratchy in it!!
Hello and happy new year to my clansmen over there across the pond! I am enjoying Queen's Extra Strong and Cafe Royale these days. My favorite boxes currently are a Scottish Horn box and a Swedish Horn box.
I have been on this since I made it up last night and it's even better today. It was the first hit this morning and aside from a few pinches of Stokers plain - has been my go-to snuff all day.
I call it "Strawberry Freeze"
1 small drop strawberry oil (food grade, of course) 1 small drop pure vanilla extract .5 g Magnet Menthol .5 g Hedges L260 .25 g F&T HDT
By "small drop" I should explain. To transfer the oil to the mixing dish, I cut the wooly ends off a q-tip and the hollow plastic rod makes a good enough dropper. A droplet from this disposable "pipette" is about 1/4 the size as a drop from an typical medicine dropper. Mix in small glass dish and sieve twice to distribute oils. Cover dish with food wrap and let sit overnight before placing in your snuff box.
This mix packs plenty of nicotine. The strawberry scent is convincing and really holds it's own with the menthol. Smells like strawberry jam on your hot, buttered, toasted bread, It's there even when the menthol is peaking and remains long after the ice melts. If you like lighter scents, use less or dilute with more blending tobacco.
@stitch, looks like you could use the Helme/Swisher Strawberry & just mix in some menthol crystals & get the same results. Strawberry jam on hot buttered toast is the flavor I got from the Helme Strawberry as per my review. I'll have to try & see.
Trout- That could work too. I don't have menthol crystals, or Helme's strawberry. but plenty of menthol snuffs and enough strawberry oil to scent oh..maybe 50 pounds of base. So this was the path of least resistance for me. Do pardon me for lifting from your description; it wasn't intentional and your well-chosen words must have stuck in my mind. I may get some menthol crystals for the hell of it and work this one up with stoker's sweet, when it comes. Or I could just use triple distilled peppermint oil which I already have. Man that stuff is reFRESHing.... More fun in the laboratory.
Just got an order in from Mars, right now I am sampling the F&T Princes. Very strange and complex aroma. Gonna have to try this one first thing in the morning to have a clear sense of smell for it. But first impression of it is good. Next up is Dekralingse Orange, pretty excited about this one since I've had to wait so long to finally get my hands on some.
I began the New Year taking a big pinch of Levi Garrett to continue with Spanish Jewel and some of our Spanish Jewel. Every day I love more and more the excellent American Dry Snuffs. And I am a lucky man because I have a wide stock of them thanks to my American friends Troutstroker and Mo.
Today I am rediscovering Dholakia Sparrow plain. Recently developed more skill with the super fines, and my oh my, this is a fine snuff. Big power, but smooth.
Once again today Latakia Orange and McChrystals OG. Love to alternate between them two. Also an occasional pinch of Santo Domingo, trying to decide if I like it, it is very very moist.
F&T French Carotte & McChrystals O&G. Almost anything burns my nose in the morning except for the F&T line. Don't know why but I can take those to toughen up my 'strils for the all day pounding of O&G menthol.
This evening I tried some Tube Rose, is a high quality snuff and I adore his special flavour. After I took all the evening Stoker's Plain and now I will cheers to you all with a big pinch of Levi Garrett.
