another of the three rare (for me) strongly scented but really good snuffs, its starting to fade a little bit in strength I think after just a few months sitting in its tin in a baggie (10g can) its still good but possibly ever so slightly beginning losing a little of its clove and cinnamon 'bite' so I need to get on using it up.
In a bullet all I smell are cloves, but from the can I smell more stuff, the cinnamon and maybe even something a little 'fatty' in there like vanilla and eggnog type stuff (you have to kind of smell for it and use your imagination a bit even maybe but there's really something there a fatty creamy whatever it is that when you smell it you know "I'm gonna get really bloated and have a massive belly ache if I drink much of this' (what I think on smelling that smell in actual eggnog) super rich fattening smell in there under the other smells (don't ask me what that is because I doubt there is literally cream or eggs in this snuff heh, maybe vanilla and lots of sweetener I don't know) but its good and its going back into my regular rotation before it starts getting any weaker and is another I am considering adding to my limited list of "I need to bulk up a bit more on this" snuffs
This is one of only three strong scented snuffs so far I not only like but really like (all three of them are toques, Lime Toast, Absinthe and Xmas Pudding) and gets its 4.5 or 4.75 stars.
Edited to add -- then again, maybe not.. took it down to 4 stars and its not completely off the list but a little less likely to get bigger tins of this than the other two because it does stuff me up a little and the eye-zinging is isn't quite as fun since it seems to be more from the cloves or whatever flavoring and not so much the nicotine I don't think.

Very nice! The grind is a bit tricky here as the clove in it seems to be finer than the rest of the snuff, so it hits you first, and can hit with a sting if you are not careful, or if you have let your snuff get too dry. Its not as powerful a clove blast as McChrystal's nor is as mellow as Bespoke. After the clove settles in, the rest of the spices of a traditional Christmas pudding make themselves known. A little cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. There are many variotoions on the Christmas pudding recipe, but this snuff hits the mark. Beyond the spices is a mellow sweetness, just like pudding. Whether this is raisins, sultanas, dates or currents, I can't say for sure. Only Toque knows these secrets. There is also a nice rum or brandy base to it all. Another one to stock up on, as it is only seasonally available. Excellent for after a holiday dinner with some fine port or brandy.

Somewhat dark brown, as well as dry and finely ground. Smells of chocolate, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg, all blended together very well. The flavours are pronounced enough to be noticeable, but this stuff doesn't hit you over the head so that you can't smell anything else.

Pale brown and medium grind/moisture, this snuff was a very pleasant surprise for me. Having a loathing for McChrystals Clove, I was worried I wouldn't enjoy this one, but the clove is less noticeable, and is well balanced with all the Christmas spices, orange zest and brandy. This is as perfect as you could get for a festive snuff, and the nicotine is pretty soothing too. 9/10.

Too generous in the clove section for me to fully enjoy this, but from what I can tell a very good balanced flavour. Cinamon is very well performing. There could even be an apple or two in here. All clove lovers can start celebrating X-mas a bit earlier this year, thanks to Toque. Wouldn´t recommend it to people not liking clove, though.

Well my first pinch of this one was nice but every pinch thereafter has been a disturbingly sharp clove experience. Hard for me to overcome. I guess I don't like clove in my nose. The other flavors of this snuff are great but the clove is too distracting for me. Too bad, but I won't get rid of it I keep going back to it to see if I can get some of the other flavors that I so adored in my first pinch. The other reviews have described these sufficiently.

Interestingly good snuff. I enjoy this one during the winter. It reminds me of spicy apple cider. Little burn and enjoyable. A solid tobacco base of serious quality. I recommend it.

Truly warming and spicy! Cinnamon, cloves and more besides. This is a snuff for life, not just for Christmas....

This one is kind of hard for me to "analyze" too much going on at once i guess, none the less i do like it but only once or twice a day (except for the occasional binge). Now the only words that i can use to describe the flavor are egg nog. And as for the nose "feel" this one can jump up and bite you, if your looking for a good burn or should i say whallop(spl?) this is the one to seek out.

This is a very good snuff that really stands out. Its wonderfully enriched with spices which becomes apparent as soon as you take the lid off. With cinnamon and clove tickling the nose before you ever snuff. In the nose it sits in a warming fashion with the clove coming in nicely with a touch of what reminds me of mulling spice & balanced nicely with cinnamon. As the clove starts to warm your kissed with what I pick up as spiced rum soaked raisins. You definitely get the sense your near the kitchen on the holidays. It is a beautiful snuff which I reserve as a "special time" snuff.

Somewhere between gluhwein, eggnog, glug, mulled cider, sugar plums and cinnamon cookies; this is the best Christmas snuff out there, and I love Bespoke's Christmas Joy. This is great snuff.

I thought Christmas Joy was the perfect Christmas snuff until I dipped into this one. On opening the tin the mull wine and cinnamon jump out. When snuffed the clove gives a quick sharp burn the all then holiday flavor rushes in behind it. Another winner from toque.

I can't think of another snuff remotely like this special offering from Toque. Spicy, deep, complex, warming - its a truly luscious pinch of snuff and I am doubly looking forward to my Christmas dinner this year simply so that I can round it off with a generous glass of Cognac and some of this superb snuff.

On first pinch I found Toque Christmas Pudding to be heavily scented with cloves, great as a clove snuff I thought, but after leaving it to age for 4 days in my snuff box I found that after it had warmed up in the nose a true Christmassy sent was there, although still heavy on the cloves but with a cinnamon, plum, nutmeg and rum taste coming through well done Toque another fine snuff I would recommend this snuff highly.
