No kidding man--you couldn't even find it today, I might have to put my own sample request from Rodrick before long. Sounds like it might be something nice to season that new snuff box with.
I'll cal you tonight, this weekend we'll hang and write us up some reviews brother.
I like your words describing the blueberry as a "peacefull snuff", that is a very good way to put it. It is probably the most relaxing snuff I have had. I especially enjoy the tartness of it, it smells like actual blueberrys as opposed to blueberry candy which I am grateful for.
It hasn't given it to me, but every nose is different. For some reason wilsons sp best gives me the most painful burning in my nose, which is funny being that it was at one time my favorite snuff. I know that it isn't particularly strong, so am not sure what the deal is there. Some snuffs must just have something in them that irritate certain people's noses I guess.
I really don't feel any burning at all with this snuff, just a very slight tingle but thats about it. I really love this snuff. But as mentioned before, every nose is different. There is only one snuff to this day that makes me sneeze uncontrollably no matter how I take it. That snuff is Wilson's Raspberry. I like the scent but I don't use it because it gives me about 5-10 good sneezes and the sneezing causes my nose to run and I have to blow it, wasting the snuff. Don't know what it is but it triggers something in my nose. This is the only snuff I sneeze with.
I feel a pleasant burn from the blueberry - more so than with any of the SP's... I love it, it is a great snuff and has its own snuff box as a testament to its excellence.
I think the bullet may have something to do with it. Did anyone else notice more of a burn using the bullets? I had some leftover Magnet Menthol as a free sample from Mars. I put that into the bullet and it to burned my nose. Magnet Menthol usually does but not as bad as it did when coming from the bullet. I think I am getting the snuff to far past my nostrils because the way I snuff from a bullet.
I just got my samples from Toque today (Thanks Roderick!), and have tried the blueberry and must admit it is amazing. It's been about 15 minutes now and I can still smell the blueberry, and feel the kick from the tobacco.
I can tell that the scent is natural, it actually brings back memories from my childhood when a neighbor had a blueberry bush in their back yard which we used to play around... when I took my first sniff of Toque Blueberry it was instant nostalgia. I remembered the smell of the blueberry bush as it was coming into season. This alone brought a smile to my face, and for a brief moment I had forgotten I even had taken a sniff of the snuff. Then I was back in reality and decided not to leave my other nostril out of the experience. :-)
It is also the perfect grind, not too course where it clogs my nose up (like the poschl snuffs do after the effects of the menthol wear off; or like some of the homemade kinds that I've made) and not too course where it is difficult to avoid inhaling it too deeply and ending up with a bit of it in my throat (like I've experienced with American snuffs). Something that really shocks me is the fact that I can lay down with this snuff in my nose and feel it dripping down into the back of my throat. With all snuffs that I've tried before, even the more course grinds, when I lay down I start to feel them dripping down into the back of my throat... I don't with this one. I'm actually laying on my bed (on my back) while I'm typing this review and not having even the slightest problem with feeling any of it in my throat.
Roderick, I'm amazed. You have truly created both an amazing snuff, and a life long customer. I can't wait to try the other flavors!
