Although all snuffs can be taken alone, some really excel in combination with food and drink. Snuff taking can be as impactful to dining as consuming alcohol or sharing your table with good friends. Like good wine, certain snuffs can really compliment a meal. Fribourg & Treyer’s “French Carotte” is such a snuff; Tom Buck is another.
A Trou Normand is a shot of Calvados, frequently served on apple sherbet, that serves to cleanse the pallet between food courses. Tom Buck serves the same purpose, especially when it comes to braised meats such as Ossobucco Milanese or Boeuf Bourguignon. With its extra citrus (more lemon-lime than orange) and its high nicotine content, this snuff prepares the senses for the next chapter in the meal by wiping away any residue flavours.
Oh Yes! This is a truly excellent SP with a nice and fluffy grind that is easy to snuff. The bergamot is strong and pleasant giving a relaxing and joyous feel. Medium Nic and a little buzz in my nostrils lets me know this blend is just spot on with delivery. Outside on a chilly morning this is heaven in a tin. Thank you Wilson’s of Sharrow for this gem. It will never be out of my rotation.
Well this is the first SP i decided to try because i had heard many good things about it on YouTube. Im glad i picked this one to introduce me into SP's it has a nice strong blast of delicious bergamot. I really love this snuff and the nicotine level is satisfying, I almost gave it four out of five instead of five because i prefer grand cairo since it has more nicotine and a nice floral backnot with the bergamot, but this is perfect in its own way and id rather have both so five stars for me.
Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day? Yepper. Tom reminds me of a warm afternoon in my Grandfather's citrus orchards in Southern California. Headily fragrant, vibrant and memorable.
Another great offering by WoS. Tom Buck has been referred to as an Amped SP. I agree. When you crack the tin, your hit in the face by a heavy dose of citrus bergamot. The look of the snuff is of a rich brown tobacco which balls up indicating the heavy use of essential oil. On the first pinch, well its just that. A tirade of lemony bergamot. The tobacco itself is under a medium to medium grind and holds very well due to the oils present in the snuff. Its fairly easy to take, very subtle burn, and the nick kick rings in at more average. The bergamot is full-on and lasts a while, as it fades, the tobacco presents itself as rich and nutty. A good pinch does wonders and results in a pleasant drip. Tom Buck is some really good snuff I like it a lot as many SP and Bergamot/Citrus fans do. This is just another SP tweak of the SP masters. I am still on a “got to try em all” kick, but this one will be added to my top 5 of always have on hand next to WoS’s finer ground, high burning, golden colored, Lemon Zest-Bergamot extravaganza Lemon Grove. Tom Buck is very highly recommended, a definite all day snuff, and you might as well get it bigger tins than the 5gram, as it can go fast.
