Horses for courses, I guess. <br>Tonquin can be found in many of the F&T snuffs. If you smoke a pipe, it is the principal scent in S. Gawith's wonderful 1792 Flake (aka Cob Flake).<br>I love tonquin flavoring--in fact, I had Samuel Gawith make me up a custom snuff that has a lovely wallop of tonquin in it.<br>Check these for more info:<br><a href=http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/t/tonqbe24.html target=new>http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/t/tonqbe24.html</a><br>and <br><a href=http://microscopy.fsu.edu/phytochemicals/pages/coumarin.html target=new>http://microscopy.fsu.edu/phytochemicals/pages/coumarin.html</a><br>And yes, tonka beans were used in snuff boxes in ye olde days, although as has been suggested I expect the snuff would taste of little else after a day or so.

Dear Mr. Tobak:<br><br>I am a pipe smoker and love 1792 Flake. The only F&T I could locate with tonquin was Princes, which has a lot of other perfumey components that I don't like. I just ordered a number of unscented snuffs from S. Gawith. Could you please provide me the details re your custom snuff so I can give it a try when I place my next order? Or else, could you let me know when you're placing your next order so I can piggy-back?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Jan

Reply to saphiresalive 9/24.<br><br>Welcome to the group. I too, used to view the old deja group, although it went defunct before I ever joined. I do remember though, that deja was not very user friendly, I believe your old handle was Pocketwatch. Mark. <br><br>That's right I used to be Pocketwatch. My new handle is from my dog's name who died in January. I had her 12 years. This group is great. I am very proud of Graeme's effort to keep this going after my demise. Good to be back.

Mark, I bought one a couple of years ago, and have found it to be a really good snuff box: closes very tight, solid construction; and folds out like a little book which fits comfortably in the hand, making it easy to take a pinch or two. It also makes a very pleasant "click" sound when opened and closed. The only black mark I could give it is that it won't keep the snuff fresh and moist for longer than a day, and is not the sort of snuff box you'd use for a moist, coarse-ground snuff.<br>A good snuff box, but it has its limitations.<br><br>Robert N.

My blend is a combination of Cob Dark, the unscented base snuff for Kendal Brown (NFS) and a shot of tonquin oil.<br>When placing your order with S. Gawith ask for the tonquin-flavored "American Blend" and they should be happy to whip you up a tube.<br>If that doesn't work, contact me and we'll work something out!<br>Best;<br>--Toren

Hi. My name is Tom & I've been lurking here for a couple of months. I started taking snuff to get thru workouts without smoking a cigarette. I stopped working out but not snuff taking. <br><br>Recently, I tried to replace my cheapo CVS pillbox/snuffbox & I found something cool at Duane Reade. They are called the "Pill Case Stacker" and made by MEDport. They are round, clear, green, plastic screw-top pill boxes slightly bigger than the CVS boxes. They come 5 to a pack for $6.00 and they screw together. I just bought my second pack to add to the first. The tower on my desk now has the following:<br><br>Packard's Club<br>McCrystal's Highland Ice<br>Buttercup Sweet Scotch<br>and the following by Fribourg & Treyey:<br>Bordeau<br>Morlaix<br>Dr. J.R. Justice (mixed by me from the above)<br>Kendal Brown.<br><br>I have a choice while at home and if I want to take one or more with me, I simply unscrew it, add on of the extra lids, & put it (or them) in my pocket. <br><br>The only downside is that the top is screw-off and not attached when open.<br><br>Anyhow, I sure could use some suggestions as to what to put in the last 3 boxes.<br><br>Thanks for your help. I'll try to be less long-winded in the future.<br><br>--Tom
