Tony's right, I had a really old and dry tin of Sam Gawith Kendall Brown. It was so dry and granular it was painful to take. I decided I wasn't risking anything so I dropped some 7 y/o Evan Williams into it and shook it and let it rest for a day. I kept checking and adding a few drops until I got the moisture to an acceptable level. It's pretty good now but not a favorite yet. I suppose I could experiment more and perfect it but I have other tins open and haven't come back to that one yet. I think you can probably make your own bourbon snuff more to your liking than buying a ready made one. I'd say get a good snuff base like maybe Toque and start adding drops of bourbon until you find you like it.
Snuffdog you saw the threads on Hopfen Schnupf? http://snuffhouse.org/discussion/142/2/mcchrystals-stammheimer-hopfen-schnupf It's a hops flavored snuff that everyone who's tried it likes.
@snuffbox, yep, thanks for the recommendation. I actually have that and am loving it too, but I'm thinking Toque could make an HDT snuff that could highlight a bit more of the malt character along with the hop flavor. Nothing wrong with a few more brew selections either and if he could make it as good as the W&H.......... :)
I've got an idea for another limited edition snuff. For a springtime release a lilac snuff would be great. There are few things as good as the smell of a vase of lilacs in May.
Oh yeah and maybe an SP so fine and so loaded with nicotine that it comes with a warning disclaimer of some kind. A once a day kind of "super-snuff." I'm sort of an "anything worth doing's worth over-doing and there's no time like present" kind of guy....maybe it's the over-indulgent, ever consuming American in me...I dunno...I'm just sayin....I'd buy me mess of that...
I know this is an old thread but if your still cooking up the good stuff i also like the idea of; AMARETTO,cedar,apple(prolly not posible with natural flavors though), also lilac would be a very good one if your wanting to dabble in florals but it would have to be dead on to be good. I wish you could eat lilacs they smell so damn good.
I think you may have a good chance at using the Spanish Jewel to culture your natural tobacco. I've got some ideas on how I might do this on a smaller scale but you Roderick, are the man! How much longer for that bourbon?
Wait and see, there might be a nice surprise coming. Roderick is cooking behind the curtains, so one never knows what to expect. Might be a Christmas Special.
I would love a VERY lightly mentholated toast. There was one on the market called 'wit and wisdom' years back but Ive not seen it for over 20 years.
Also - as I am liking toasts at the moment - I would love to see a floral one, maybe rose? That would be, as far as I am aware, unique - rather like Toque.
Curry would probably be quite nice if it was done right - think cardamoms or corriander, I think it would be cool and as I have to have at least one curry a week I would definately go for it!
Thank you Snuffster. A supplier told me that Samuel Gawith Grousemoor might not be made any more. Can anybody enlighten me? But I will look into Wilson's.
I reeely don know nuffink. Is this Toque as in "clock" or Toque as in "Toke"? BTW I took some St Clements after a heavy dinner of game casserole and it lifted my overloaded palate just like a perfecly iced sorbet.
