My reviews of some snuffs

[horus]

This is my favorite thing about snuff, I think. There's just something about it that brings out the writer in people. As much as I like Ettan's and Grovsnus I'm hardly inspired to write an essay about either one. But if I was a more gifted writer I think I could write an essay about F&T's High Dry Toast.

Recycled from a previous post:

Scotches and Toasts are the snuffy kissing cousins of the Anglosphere. While scotches evoke good-old-boys, gandy dancers, and magnolia shaded porches, toasts bring to mind dim 400 year old libraries, the brollys and briefcases of The City, and the stiff upper lips of the gents of an empire upon which the sun once never set.

Very nice. Yeah I think pipes and cigars do the same for people who are into that.

But who the hell would write an essay about a Camel or a Marlboro? There ain't no inspiration in something as disgusting and impersonal as a cigarette. And of course snuff IS mass-produced, but there's just something about it that's more intimate. For one thing there's the selection, you really feel like you have a wide array of options. If you're like me you buy more snuff in greater varieties than you could ever hope to use, and you figure out which ones are your favorites, and the ones that aren't you put away for a couple of months and return to when you're bored with your favorites, etc.

I mean if you order the smaller tins you can basically get enough snuff to kill a platoon of SEALs for 75 dollars at the absolute most, including shipping.

The Bordeaux in particular is REALLY growing on me. It's like Rose of Sharrow but a much more natural scent. It doesn't smell like straight-up rose perfume, it smells like a real live garden.

Gawith Kendal Brown is nice too I'm just not sure what to make of it. It is like nothing else I've had. Am I right in tasting nothing but pure tobacco? I can almost see these little specks that make me think bergamot. Describing the actual scent would be like describing an orange to someone who had never tasted one. It is . . . musty? That's the best I can do.

It definitely seemed to benefit from a little time alone in the tin, I think it picked up a little more moisture from the humid ass Virginia air.

I await your reaction my friend, these are quality snuffs. Give them some quality time. God I love hops on a hot day!
