I was prejudiced against Lundy Foot bco my experience with American dry snuff which I associate with saw dust…I took a chance bco its being on sale. I found it to possess enough humidity, even for this style of snuff. The color is that of fine cut cocoa and in fact it tastes like milk chocolate to me! It is gentle, velvety and satisfying in nicotine level. It is comforting and easy going, like a good friend…! If I were to compare the flavor to that of a cigar, a Dominican Fonseca, a classic Avo or a Romeo and Juliette vintage comes to mind. I definitely recommend it.
Truly a gem among toasts; easy to take, smells great, it’s strong, and is all around just pleasant. It’s a great all-day / anytime snuff. I’ve been taking it since 2016 and I still love it. Unlike other snuff mills, SWS makes their toast just a bit differently—and they get it right. There are a few reasons I put this above all other toasts, and firstly is because Lundy Foot has absolutely no smoky smell and no ammonia. There aren’t any discernible added scents whatsoever; just the smooth aroma of clean and gently toasted high quality tobacco. The overall aroma is light and simple, with tobacco being the only thing you’ll smell.
_____ Secondly, although labeled as a fine grind, it’s milled perfectly so as not to be powdery like other toast snuffs. This small difference in consistency makes it much easier and far more pleasant to take—coating the inside of your nostrils perfectly without shooting straight to the back of your throat. If you’ve tried Havana Toast, Golden Horn, Navigator, and St. James Parish snuffs, then you’re familiar with this Goldilocks consistency which SWS achieves in these finely-ground snuffs.
_____ Yet another reason I like this snuff so much is because it has significantly more vitamin N than the other toasts. It hits hard and fast, but without any burn. The latter's due to the fact that SWS uses an all-natural alkalizer that's gentle on the nose. While it’s not overwhelmingly strong—like the late great green Rosinski snuffs—it puts WoS and McChrystals to shame in that department. When I take snuff, I want vitamin N and this has it.
_____ Overall, Lundy Foot is the standard to which I hold all other toast snuffs to. WoS’ Irish No.22 is far more popular—and slightly different in its scent—as well as being a lovely snuff, but this is superior to it (and all others) in enough ways to overshadow it. This has been and always will be one of my favorite snuffs.
I purchase the snuff and pouches to get off the vape .
I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the snuff is this is my first time trying and I will be purchasing again .
Working my way through the SWS line and this is another fantastic blend. It achieves that toast flavor, but does it with a medium grind and avoids that "powder blast to the back of the throat." This is a keeper.
Lundy Foote is much more the antique Irish toast, it must be based off an old recipe as it is nothing like the WoS toasts. While they are good, this has a more dark husky tobacco that comes through with equal amounts of tarmac and leather. MUCH more leathery than most snuffs I’ve had. My first SWS and I’m quite impressed. It’s so easy to take, also. That tangy Virginia does shine through and the rustica adds some body. Higher nicotine also. They’re really different, IMO and not much alike sans the toasting aspect. It's also different than the American scotches, which crank up the bonfire, sawdust and Hickory smoke that overpowers. Excellent snuff.
Pure bready goodness. Barely a hint of sweetness. Good nicotine. If you love plain/bready tobacco you will love this. Absolutely gorgeous and a staple.
Few words I will need to describe this excellent snuff. Pure and traditional tobacco snuff ( not for scented or flavored snuff lovers).
Lundy Foot keeps the tradition, the old snuffs recipe. Fine grind, pure aroma, remains in your nose and mouth. Included between my top 3 as the FIRST.
The title says exactly what I said after first smelling the contents of the tin. Dry like you would expect, but not difficult to take. Definitely a new favorite!

Opinión personal:
Vit N muy alta para repetir a menudo. Bueno para las mañanas. Fácil de tomar.
¿Volvería a comprarlo? Si
A complex, rich, bold snuff. It's a finely ground powder. Smells very strongly of leather, charred wood, some earthiness and a slight hint of vanilla. I'll have to grow into it a bit more, but this is delicious. 4 out of 5 stars.
My collection of SWS snuff is quite extensive, but this is the one I come back to again and again. Lundy Foot is strong, very finely ground, and easier to take than most snuff this fine and dry. This is a non-scented snuff with a whole lot of character.
While it is reminiscent of the 'Scotch' snuffs made here in America such as Garrett or Brutons, it's just not the same - it's far, far better! It has that characteristically smoky scent that a Scotch snuff should, but it doesn't overwhelm like the American snuff oft does. Additionally, there's just the finest hint of a sort of floral aroma.
Taking Lundy Foot reminds me of walking in the meadow next to my old neighbor's farm as a kid (quite specific I know). It's simply wonderful snuff, and my all-time favorite. My hat goes off to Mr. Scott for continuing to make such a magnificent product; a true masterpiece!
Aroma and snuffability put this one at the top of my toasts list. The blend of tobaccos used produces a scent of delicious depth. It is dry as are all toasts, but something about the grind seems to make this one a little easier to take. If you like toasts and have not tried a SWS snuff, Lundy Foot is a perfect starting point. 5 out of 5 from me- no doubt!
Excellent snuff! 5 Stars! I really enjoy Lundy Foot snuff! I am a big fan of High Dry Toasts and this is a great one! Though I actually grind if even finer than it comes!
This has to be the best toast style snuff I have ever had. The folks at Sir Walter Scott's are truly masters of the snuff making art. Try it, I don't think you will be disappointed.
This truly is a glorious toasted snuff. The grind and moisture content, or lack thereof are excellent and allow it to gently disappear from your fingers and into your nose without leaving any evidence of it's former location behind. The nose feel is fantastic with no front or back drip to speak of and an adequate yet not overpowering dose of vitamin N. Truly an all day snuff and if you enjoy toasts, you need to try it.
In my opinion this is the definitive toast snuff. Not to detract from the other toasts on offer, but this snuff shows a deep devotion to the art and craft that puts a snuff beyond the reach of commercial mills.
From the selection of tobaccos, the careful and gentle toasting and the attention to every detail this wonder evolves into notes of butter, toasted rye, malt and roasted nuts.
My only regret is that it is not available in 55 gallon drums.
Excellent snuff - toasted snuffs can have depth and character and this offering from those distant borders is warm, full bodied and redolent of excellent tobacco treated with great skill. A satisfying nicotine hit and a very stimulating pinch make this top of the range product a must for any serious user.
