I am going out for beer right now, so I will update it later. I'm just afraid, that it would be better idea to make a list of those you should never try. This one is getting quite long.

Have one for me

Well if you make a list of ones never to try, I would have to say Chief Bull!!! BLEEEEEHHHH ;~{ -
-
@Troutstroker
Yeah, that one would be Wilson's Rum & Blackberry for me, yuck. -
both of which I like the rum and blackberry much more. Cheif bull is great in a crappy fake kind of way.
-
Really? Rum & Blackberry stings my nose just going close to an open tin. While closed it smells fine but in the nose it doesn't even taste blackberry, more like poo.
-
I've only had one tin of the rum and blackberry and I got a very clear blackberry scent with the slightiest hint of rum which seemed to catalyze the berry scent. It actualy reminded me very much of eating wild blackberries when I was a kid. Then I also found that if I did not sniff very lightly I couldn't really smell much of the scent with it. Though it's been a long time since I have had that one over a year.
-
Hmm, there must be something wrong with my tin then, and it's not ammonia.
-
Dont mean to be crude but this smells like...well, vomit, to me. I am Wilsons fan but this one I find very weird. After I take a pinch I just get that aforementioned aroma at the back of the flavour. Maybe I got a bad tin or something but this is now one of the unused cans in my collection
-
I agree, The Wilson's Rum & Blackberry is one of the worst I've tried. It very well may be that I got an old tin, but it was horrible to me. I'm also not a fan of the Dean Swift offerings. Same thing though, I think the product I bought was most likely old, but it completely turned me off, and the 5 flavors of Dean Swift I purchased remain the only 5 tins i have ever thrown away.
-
I've not tried Dean Swift, I heard more than once that no one knows where its made!
-
The wilsons rum and blackberry is alright, but it's pretty burney in the nose, and the drip tastes like rum.
-
I like Rum & Blackberry maybe two tins a year but it does get old faster than others. I have a hard time understanding what people see in Gawith & Hoggart anything. Its like sniffing splinters!

All the Dean Swifts I've tried have been fairly good.
I do like the GH Whiskey, Sandalwood & Dry Orange.
And the Wilsons R & B I do take on occasion. Not one I would use everyday but I do come back to it. -
-
I agree with all of you on Wilson's Rum and Blackberry. Just nasty. However, I would add that Wilson's Vanilla and Wilson's Apricot are just as nasty.
About Dean Swift though, the only flavor I've tried is Bezoar which is aniseed but not overpowering. I actually liked it a lot, but my tin is sealed shut and I would have to pry it open. Since I don't find myself craving the Bezoar that much, I don't even bother. -
I like bezoar more than aniseed extra mainly because its not too much. All of the dean swift I have tried I have enjoyed, particularly their SP which is nothing like other SPs I've tried. It was very clovey and reminded me of bubble gum, But that was the first tin I got. The second was alot drier when I opened it and I didn't enjoy it as much.
-
I hate the deans snuffs except for maybe inch kenneth and deans own. I love wilsons Vanilla though it's tin aroma is terrible I don't know how it works it smells like poop in the tin and like creamy rich vanilla in the nose. I love the wilsons apricot I didn't think I would love that one but I certainly do. As far as Dean S.P. which is as far as I can tell just clove smells great but I don't trust snuffs that make my nose bleed.
-
Oh my... I wouldn't either, I haven't had a nose bleed since I started snuffing three years ago. The closest thing is Wilsons Kendall Brown which chaps the rims of my nostrils as do all G & H products.
-
I dont usually do menthol, but my son bought me some lowenprise whilst in Germany with his school. It has a great aniseed (or liqourice?) kick to it with a hint of menthol. Despite previous reservations, I find I like the odd pinch as I love aniseed - I used to buy aniseed balls (candy) when I was a kid and this is like inhaling one.
Never thought I'd say this about a poschl but a must try snuff -
I have to say that I love aniseed a lot too. and have wanted to try lowenprise since I heard of it.

Country Doctor by Frederick Tranter's is a really nice aniseed snuff. I've got about 1/4lb left if anybody wants to try it, just give me a whisper. -
