Toque Absinthe. Anise and burn, it's almost perfect. More vitamin N would be nice That's pretty much my thoughts on that one too. Scent is nice, grind and moisture are great, little light on the nic. |

F&T Princes Special to kick off this morning. Nice, earthy and a little floral, smooth, easy to snuff.

6 Photo MG. Nice, low burn, straight tobacco scent. Making me run just a little.

Toque Lime Toast. Interesting, somewhere between the old Hi-C Ecto Cooler and Simple Green.

Ok, at this point my pupils are pinpointing and Ozzy's "Flying High Again" is playing in the back of my head.

SG No. 1 High Mill. It was a favorite for a while and an old tin just turned up.

Went ahead and sampled the Majestic Elephant anyway. Nice, similar grind and moisture to White Tiger, very incensy, Nag Champa, low burn, very pleasant. Another winner from Dholakia.

I see you're enjoying the package, lol.
Majestic elephant is one of my favorite white snuffs. Lime toast is a daily driver, I LOVE the scent, it doesnt last long, but its low nic so I can keep shoveling it in. The MG Madras has a nice kick to it. A guy in one of the FB Snuff groups said it's one of the highest alkalinized tobaccos.
Toque Whiskey and Honey for me right now

Loving the package! While the world hides away from COVID-19 this weekend, I am sitting at home, comfortably sampling snuffs and pipe tobacco! The timing was impeccable! I can't thank you enough, seriously.
Gave the F&T Morlaix a shot, soft, gentle, with a baby powder-like scent, not entirely sure about this one yet.

Indian Curry. Wow, that was unexpected. Mentolated incense. Opens the nasal passages up, hits you with an optimal does of fragrance, not too strong, and lingers pleasantly. This would probably make for a nice morning starter during allergy season.

Toque USA Spearmint. I confess that I was scared to try this one, but surprised when I did. I took a small pinch, but found it to be cool and refreshing, vs the overpowering wave I expected.

LA Natural is a favorite. Has a nice punch to it. I have a big jar stashed away. Darin the youngins didnt stand a chance back when I drank. I cant count the times I got 21-25 year olds thrown out of the bar for puking. The spearmint was pleasant to me as well. I was a bit leary of it too Lundy Foot is sitting nicely |

LOL ... they got a bit cocky late in the evening and started arm wrestling each other too. I told them I'd take the winner and they laughed at me. However, 15 minutes later, the boys got schooled and had to eat crow!  |

Moita. Black as night and highly mentholated, but still cut fine and smooth. This one might take some time to get used to.

And, just now, Aztek/Begum Green mix. That's some good stuff.
What's stronger than Rustica in the nic department?

I get a bigger kick from Taxi Red and Sucker Punch than Rustica ... could just be my chemistry?

Post by roadsdiverged on Mar 22, 2020 14:02:04 GMT -5
That's what I'm trying to figure out too. It's not strong to me until I mix it with something else.
If it doesnt make me bit my lip, i dont consider it strong

Gave the White Elephant another shot, very smooth, light fragrance that lingers nicely.

I get a bigger kick from Taxi Red and Sucker Punch than Rustica ... could just be my chemistry? Maybe it's a mental thing with me. I always just figured the extremely fine grind makes the uptake faster and more potent (like other things in the old days. Doh!). I need to just take the others by themselves, on an empty nose. |

F&T Macouba. Citrusy, lemony scent that borders on cleaning products. Mild and soft, not bad really.

Update:
.5% jar: slight ammonia scent, nice and earthy after it gets stirred and breathes a little bit.
1.0% jar: the ammonia is about where the 1.5% jar was after 18 hours, fairly strong. After a stir it settles down a bit and has a barnyard/earth smell.
1.5% jar: cracked the lid and put my nose right in. Bad mistake. Nose burned, sinuses open, eyes watered. A few mixes and a little bit of air and it settles down to rich earth with a fair amount of ammonia.
Notes:
I'm liking the smell of #3 the best right now.
Nic content/absorbtion is still unknown.
I'm interested to see how this does with the added moisture to it.

Pinewood Ice. Not for me, but I kinda suspected as much going in. Strong menthol, I think someone said urinal cakes, and that is definitely what I'm getting from it.
