    Howdy,

    I haven’t used snuff for a long time, but recently put in an order at Toque. Apart from one Indian snuff I tried years ago, I haven’t found a snuff I didn’t like, thankfully from the recommendations of folks like you on this forum.

    I apologize that I have not contributed to any online discussion  prior to now. Y’all know so much that I never had to ask a question somebody else already hadn’t. but I think I finally found a question.

     

    Is there a snuff out there that has a predominant jasmine scent? And if it does exist, why is it not called “Summer Breeze” after the Seals and Crofts song?

    As far as I am aware there are very few with Jasmine.  Our Artisan Resolute is the only one I know.

    Mr. Roderick, I have purchased a tin of Resolute from you and found it to be quite enjoyable. It is absolutely jasmine scented. I was merely trying to make a joke since my birthday is in July just like the song. I meant no offense. This is an instance where my awkwardness got the better of me. I assure you I am more awkward in person than I am on the Internet. lol.

    Don’t worry, I didn’t see it as offensive in any way.  In my awkwardness I didn’t get the joke and just wanted to help.  We are as bad as each other.

    My most used is Samuel Gawith Kendall Brown Original from my college days. They started a “no tobacco” policy without asking my opinion and I started using snuff in revolt.

    Viking Persica is my all day snuff.

    Artisan Resolute or Toque Rose have become new favorites. I haven’t decided which just yet. I’m leaning toward Resolute and plan on a bulk order for my next purchase.

    Surprisingly, I am partial to Taxi Red and Dholakia Black. I guess I like the smell of flowers as well as what they’re grown in.

    Sadly, I am witnessed to the decline of tobacconists and fine tobacco. The city I live in is Springfield, Missouri, and the shop that sold me my first tin of KB original was called The Albatross, a true tobacco emporium, sadly, I’ve heard they’ve closed. The two other well established tobacco shops don’t have any interest in carrying snuff. And I wouldn’t buy American snuff anyway. As a novelty I bought my las tin if WE Garrett for $14. I miss having a place where someone would offer me a pinch of tobacco I never would’ve thought to buy for myself and then immediately buy a tin of it.

    I’ve always been more interested in what are peoples least favorite snuffs. That’s how I found Taxi Red. But I also took a gamble on a value pouch of Viking Persica from Toque, and I’ve had it in my pocket every day since it arrived.

    The first stuff I ever tried was a tap box of Gawith apricot in 2008 from Don Johnson’s Tobacco World (still a fine tobacconist, but really only carries domestic smoking products). I believe the box is still buried in the back of my pipe cabinet, and probably still just as stale as the day I bought it. It was a few years later at the Albatross that I tried some proper, moist British snuff and fell in love (Still not a huge fan of menthol, but I’ve got some in my collection). I don’t remember the owner’s name, but he kept a stock for eccentric customers like myself. He even gave me a snuff box in exchange for a handkerchief. I mostly snuffed KB original in those college years.I still prefer to put an American dry snuff in my lip than in my nose.

    Then I found Mr. Snuff and found I could buy almost anything I wanted. My biggest regret was a blend from 6 photo. I don’t remember the name of the blend, but I just gave myself a migraine remembering the first and only pinch I took of it. Half of that pinch is probably still in my lungs.I’ve been gun shy about Indian snuff ever since and really only buy English blends these days.

    I apologize for not participating in the forums, but I don’t have easy access to snuff the way you all do. I just place my order, wait for a week or more, and hope for the best. But I appreciate you guys helping me with my selections.
