I'm never without my TOQUE Espresso but today I have with me 2 other TOQUE products; Raspberry and Vanilla. What I cannot understand is how Roderick can put some flavour in the snuff but still retain the tobacco smell/taste. I love POSCHL's Raspberry because it's so sweet and fresh but there is no tobacco flavour left. That is one of the reasons why I'm not crazy about menthol snuff; the menthol "overpowers" the tobacco smell. I've said this before; I don't smell coffee in the Espresso, to me it's just pure tobacco and that's why it's my firm favourite.
Received a small order this morning in my ceaseless experimentation trying different snuffs! McC Stammheimer Hops; McC Mild Lemon; Poschl Packards Club and President, the last I have had previously. No immediate wow factor with any of them, but its early days. Been using the Stammheimer most of the day. Very pleasant, but was hard put to to distinguish a hops aroma. Also received a very large snuff handkerchief which would almost double as a hammock. Don't know where I can put it when I go out - perhaps knot the four corners and put it over my head!
Toque original earlier onto some Gawith Apricot. I don't know about anybody else but to me this apricot is close to perfect. It seems a little diferent every time i use it. This isn't when i'm switching but during exlusive sessions. Sometimes i catch the apricot real pronounced upfront other times when I blow and sometimes in the middle. It to me has the perfect amount of menthol to carry the pleasure in my nose for a good fifteen minutes plus. Very nice.
bigblue 1, I agree 100% about Gawith Apricot. I don't fancy menthol so much but in this snuff, it's perfect. I don't use it all the time but love to take some just before going to bed.
Hey, Matt; The Pacard's Club container pops right open so you can refill it. The dispensing apparatus stays with the bottom half of the container - nothing "pops out" at you. I knew my work day would be hellish today, so I went back to basics; A tin of Tom Buck, and a (Packard's Club!) dispenser of O&G. Relaxing now with some SG Kendal Brown.
I had an experimental mix I wasn't liking so much. It was some kind of a Latakia/Toast/Anise/SM Blue/Seville/Natural mix. I don't really remember I just kept adding flavors to make it more attractive. I finally put it in a box, added some Sparrow and a tonka bean, then took it with me to work. Well it's pretty nice now. It has a slight anise/neroli flavor with a great tonquin scent and strong tobacco base. Glad I don't have to throw any out. Thanks to the snuff store for getting those beans for us. Snuff on brothers!
TOQUE PeanutButter for the day and Gawith Apricot for in betweens. PeanutButter, like Espresso, gives me a good taste of real tobacco and I can use it all day long. I tried the Grapefruit yesterday and started sneezing like mad. I kept on sneezy for hours and "water" started running from my nose! So, when I got home, I took huge humps of Taxi Blue/Spearmint and finally the sneezing stopped. I will try the Grapefruit again later on because I quite like it, maybe the sneezing was caused by something else.
