Toque Whiskey & Honey has a very fine grind and a very light colour, so does Lime Toast, so does #22 and Samuel Gawith Irish D Light.
I normally order 25 gram tins using the 6 for 5 deals, sometimes two 6 for 5’s. At the moment I have ten (different) full 25gram tins of my favorite Toque. I have more snuff than that, but that’s the amount of Toque I have in stock. Anyways, back to my point. I don’t use snuff that much now due to my allergies and sinuses, but when I get an order I move some of the Whiskey & Honey and Lime into old ten gram tins and use it for a while, until I need to stop because of my bloody sinuses blocking up all the time.
I took a few weeks off snuff a while back then one day I figured I’d have a pinch, so I opened the ten gram tins and looked inside, only to find two very different looking snuffs. They’d both gone a lot darker in colour, and they didn’t smell the same, they had completely changed from how I remembered they should look and smell. I opened the two 25 gram tins and they had also changed in colour, not as dark as what was in the 10 gram tins, but darker than when I got it.
They both looked more like Spanish Gem in colour and the Whiskey & Honey had lost that lovely sweet smell I just love. The lime didn’t really smell like lime but it looked like Spanish Gem in colour. I guess each 10 gram had about 3 grams inside, when the new order turned up, the difference side-by-side was unreal, so I tipped it in the bin and enjoyed the fresh snuff for a while until I had to stop.
I have had the same amount of #22 and SG Irish D Light kicking around for over two years in small tins, with full tins untouched, they’ve not changed one bit in colour or smell over that time.
I’m now starting to think that Toque snuffs have a shelf life, unlike other snuffs which seem to last for years and years without any change in colour or smell. For the amount of snuff I actually use I don’t see any point in getting 25 gram tins. However, I like to have a good amount of snuff in stock because work is a bit hit-and-miss, and I can guarantee that if I’m skint, I’ll be out of tobacco.
Sorry for the long post.
Has anybody else had the same issue with chameleon Toque or do you use it up before this happens?
PS: I have also noticed this with Natural Toast, but not as bad as Whiskey & Honey or Lime
