Toque News Article

Hi All, I know a few of you have already read this at snuffhouse.org. Since, I'm not a member there, just a lurker I thought I'd repost the link here. And in case, some of you didn't see it.

JournalLive - News - Today's News - Roderick Lawrie leads resurgence of snuff in North East

I enjoyed it, good article and always nice to see a picture of someone 'behind the scenes'.

My favorite Toque is Violet - I know I've talked about it before, but to me it's sooo unique and I haven't found anyone else that has anything similar. I use daily throughout the day. Even last night I got craving the Violet and had to get up from watching TV and get some. It may not be likable to everyone, but it's hit me.

Cheese and Bacon - what a neat one, too. Now it seems when I get hungry, this is the one I reach for. Pretty good.

There's more Toque I like, but these two stand out as really unique to me.

Anyway, I enjoyed the article and thought it could have it's own thread for those who might have missed it.

Thanks Sunset....I don't get over to snuffhouse that often...and I missed this! I had Roderick pegged as a much younger fellow! There are still one or two Toques that I enjoy using!

The Wiz!

Just rereading...one thing the article should have stated that I always like to hear from
Roderick is that his product were 100% natural - he refused to use synthetic flavourings or any artificial ingredients. I'm not sure that is true of other companies.

Sometimes I've wondered if this is the reason some of the smells don't last that long, but I'd rather have 100% natural any time.. Oh 'smell lasting', except with the Violet, up to an almost an hour later I can still smell it.

That's been cited as a probable reason sunset, the natural scent sources that is.

The only Toque I've used that really had a lasting quality is the Absinthe.
Wow.
Once that one is in the shnoz it's there to stay!

Oh, you're right! I got craving licorice last night, too, and couldn't find mine....
Found it, now I'm ready for those cravings.

Am I the only one that is starting to have cravings for certain scents over just picking and enjoying one...this is getting a little weird, but it's happening off and on now that I think about it - like eating.

If you study aromatherapy, even a quick study, you'll see that different scents impact different emotions or conditions. You choose a scent/aroma for the state you're in or desire. Relaxation. Alertness. Stess relief. Happiness. Lots of folks follow this little practice.

There's no reason to think our love of scented snuffs is different. Our bodies tell us to sniff some Violet (Jasmine in my case) and we do, and relieve a sneaky little craving we had.

I do love flavored snuffs -- and haven't liked even one that was "just tobacco". Like you, I reach for one of my many bullets based solely on what fragrance I want at the time.

cool article! thumbs up to toque

I'm glad to see Toque getting some good publicity. Of all their flavors that I have tried, the Lime Toast is a real standout for me. A daily snuff, and one that I am considering buying in bulk.

 

[The Wiz]

I really love most of Toques flavors....If they would just hang longer and have more of a nic boost I would be a greater fan!

The Wiz!

Excellent write up for Toque. The "medical stuff" at the end was even very reasonable. Big thumbs up for being all natural as far as I'm concerned. My picks to date are Original and Whiskey & Honey.

A NHS North of Tyne spokesman said: “Although snuff does not contain any carbon monoxide or tar it is carcinogenic meaning it causes cancer.

Does it really?? I was under the impression that it was the burning of the Tobacco, and the crap added to the cigarettes that made it carcinogenic. Was I mistaken in thinking that?
