Anyone NOT like High Dry Toast?

El_presidente

It may be the perfect snuff (at least for me). Doesn't clog the nose, easy to store in a snuffbox (dry), great nicotine buzz, and who doesn't like the smell of toast? Can't be beat!

I concur, it is easy to go through a 50 gram tin F&T HDT in a month. Even with rotation!
It is as good as WoS Irish high toast #22

El_presidente

Glad I have a tin of WoS #22 on the way, then. I forgot how much I liked fresh HDT. #22 should be a pleasure as well.

Igglet

That's the one I keep forgetting to put on my orders sadly. I get all excited put a few of sws on my orders and, forget the hdt.

El_presidente

I'd say it's worth an order by itself! Of course, I'm not the one paying for your shipping :D

I guess it isn't quite the perfect snuff - it tends to get into my keyboard.

El_presidente

@lunecat true, dry snuffs can be an irritant/unpleasant to some. But what's so great about them, huh?

Never far away, never goes out of style, nice classical feel, pretty cheap, good flavor, unobtrusive, strong enough, sufficiently complex to keep you interested. I trust a snuff taker who likes HDT, it serves as a character reference.

I don't like it. I love it.

To me, SG Irish D Light, and WoW #22 aren't actually very close to F&T HDT. They are very similar to each other, yes, but are sort of tired, dusty versions of HDT.

Igglet

Shipping costs have never upset me. My last shipping cost was under $10. $10 to get it over a damn ocean sounds pretty reasonable. Buying Snus for $30+ for shipping alone upsets me a little though. Not that I would ever challenge Moe Unz.

Igglet

If I do, he may take away my Onyx snuff again.

HDT, love it. Got some recently for the first time and will most definitely order more.

To play devil's advocate, I must say I don't like the BBQ smell of Wilsons No. 22 or Toque Natural Toast. It reminds me a little of scented potato chips. Is this "meatiness" less pronounced in HDT?

vitellius

Based on the communities fantastic reviews on HDT, that'll definitely be in my next order! These Toques were my first fine dry snuffs and I too have thoroughly enjoyed them. Took a little bit of altering my technique, but within the first day and the 10 tins of toque sampled I had easily adjusted! Looking forward to trying it for definite!

DarthMarklar

Going against the grain, I'm not a big fan of HDTs. I don't mind them, and do occasionally crank it out, I just prefer something in between, though coarse snuffs like Thor's Hammer feature regularly in my rotation. I've come to love 41P WE, and a few other fine grinds, just not a lover of HDTs. I guess that speaks to my character eh @JakartaBoy‌ :smiley: Maybe I just haven't tried the right one yet, which may be F&T. Each to their own though :smile:

howdydave

I don't care for ANY of the toasts.

perique

I do not like F&T HDT, I love it !!!!!!! :D

idbowman

F&T HDT is the snuff of the Gods. Second only to Viking Dark in my current Pantheon of Snuff.

What's the weird Wilsons toast? I think it's No. 20

Very underrated snuff. Super earthy, not like any other toast, not very toasty at all really just dryish fineish and plain but a really great tobacco blend.

Kentuckysnuff

I believe HDT is a staple not just among toasts, but snuff itself. I discovered it early on in my time as a snuffer. I was told to stay away from toasts, but it was the first one I really tried. I have no regrets.

And the nicotine? It really speaks for itself.

n9inchnails

F&T HDT was my first love

Salmiak

Only experience with Toast made me toss it away. Not for me.

HR_pufnsnuff

I prefer SG Irish D Light to HDT or IHT, and I used to be able to take them ok, but now snuff has opened my airways unless I'm careful they all make me cough!

EZSaddler

Wouldn't say I'd enthuse about HDT but when it slips out of my rotation I find myself wishing I had it around.

El_presidente

I've probably done 3 grams in less than 24 hours. For me that's huge.

MarvinLapsus

@Jari_T I agree with you, partially at least. HDT has that unique I don't know what that makes it stand out.
Some non-snuffy friends who like menthol snuffs for the refreshment said of HDT that it was "like taking a nostril full of sawdust", and I couldn't understand them. However, when I tried Irish D Light, the woody character stood out more prominently. Don't get me wrong, it's still a good occasional snuff, but it's not the same as HDT, which I think is currently the best snuff on the Wilsons' roster.
@Idbowman I understand you very well: there's no plain snuff like these two.

chefdaniel

F&T HDT. My first toast, and it damn near killed me the first time. Once I figured it out; short, shallow, sharp sniffs after a deep breath...heaven. Once I got the hang of getting it in just far enough, and no further, the sneezing, coughing and other shenanigans stopped. With a few tins under my belt I found that really large spoonfuls, sniffed in a shallow, gentle manner worked best.

Counterintuitive I know, but it worked, and still works, for me at least.

I've been out for a few weeks, but check the mailbox daily waiting for my order.

coreymillia

I find nothing special about it. Sorry, it kind of reminds me of how bland most food is with out garlic and cayenne. Yep, I just did some. You can curse me out if you want, but it feels like WE garret Scotch. Except, pleasant. Don't get me wrong I don't dislike it, I gave the Garret away, but I probably wont buy it again. However, I mostly use moist, coarse snuff in general. I only use dry snuff if my face gets clogged or for runny noses.

JakartaBoy

@coreymillia‌, I've never tried the Garret. But there is certainly some kind of relationship between Swisher Square and HDT, like cousins. But I think Swisher is great! So for me, that's a GOOD thing.

snuffvillian

I recently sampled GH Irish D, and to me it resembles strongly to a sweet scotch I´ve tried before (possibly Devoe´s Eagle mills without edulcorants). So similar I´d say they both are the same if I were blinded...

willc

I really enjoy toasts but for me HDT is not the grail.
Now I like it well enough but there are quite a few others that I like more. SG, Wilson's, Toque, SWS, and OM all have at least one in each respectives lineup that I prefer to HDT.

If it were the only toast available I would use it regularly but that is not the case.

havregryn

I feel this is a bit like swearing in church, but the last couple of tins with HDT has left me more than a bit underwhelmed; the buttery nutiness aroma has been lacking in all of them. Got a 50g tin in the mail yesterday and got dissapointed once again. Anyone else having this experience?
