Toque Spruce Snuff

[Skell18]

Dog my son de tonca arrived, it's amazing!

[Kaplan]

My order came today. I notice the ammonia smell with the other tins I ordered, but not this one, but I assume it's because the Spruce is so overpowering on its own. I suspect my opinion of it won't change even after I let it air out. Smelling the open tin, it comes across as very overbearing and powerful, like sniffing a ground up car air freshener. BUT actually taking a hit is a bit of a surprise, because it's not so bad. I confess to not usually liking these kinds of snuffs, but I would recommend it to anyone who finds the idea of a Spruce snuff intriguing to give it a try. I think after it mellows a bit it'll be a nice snuff to have around to give yourself a jolt of something different. It's too early yet to have any opinion of the others, but they do seem to have potential.

Kaplan,
I hope you enjoy them. The special snuff at the reduced prices are only available to Account holders or subscribers. Not on general release.

From the way you were talking I would have guessed Spruce was not yet available but I just placed an order and it was available. So I threw in a tin, but I'm not expecting much. Now the Bubblegum flavor might have potential. I ordered a few other things I've never tried before, including the Crazy George, Wild Berry, Black Cherry, and Silver Dollar Scotch.

Good to see you here Roderick. I see you are keeping up the good work.

When it becomes legal in the EU or when the EU disintegrates we will be ready, if not before

That is exciting news Roderick!!! Please keep us posted

Thanks guys,

What I meant was when I was in Sweden I was trying to track down any flavours close to spruce. I thought if anyone would have a flavour close to it the Swedes would. Snusdog is right in that the flavour is not as good as the scent.

Needless to say I came home with more snus than should have been allowed on a plane. When it becomes legal in the EU or when the EU disintegrates we will be ready, if not before

As mentioned, the juniper (ligonberry) flavor of Goteborgs Rape 2 should satisfy the spruce/pine/evergreen flavor niche......too strong for regular use by myself, but interesting........

Lingonberry is like a cranberry, I think it hides the juniper in GR2 but it tastes nice. Göteborgs Rapé on its own would be better suited IMO.

Roderick,

Good to see ya mate!

I too am a bit confused by the OP. You went to Sweden but forgot to look for spruce snus and came home and made spruce snuff........is that correct?

As far as I know there has never been a spruce snus........It seems that pine smells better than it tastes.........which may explain why to my knowledge we have never seen a pine/spruce snus.

That said I think an herbal rosemary and Eucalyptus snus would have a lot of potential and could be sold as an "Alpine" snus.........the rosemary would give a palatable pine like essence, the Eucalyptus a coolness, and the herbal a dark forestry sort of backing

As far as snuff goes the only three I know of are
1) Molens A/P
2) Bernard Fichtennadel (the one skell was referencing above)
3) Old Mill Alpine (chef Daniel)

I have both the AP and Old Mill versions and ironically I have the Bernard one on order. If you need another test nose for the Toque variation I would love to volunteer.

Anyway hope this helps a bit
