    Filek reminded me of the Alpina Snuff which I have almost forgotten about. Thanks to him, I will now review this snuff.

    The Alpina, made by Pöschl, comes in a dark green box with golden letters on it, containing 10g of snuff. It has a nice sliding mechanism at the top which grants an easy use. The snuff itself has a brown colour, a medium moist and is medium fine. It smells slightly sweet and obviously contains some menthol. Easy to snuff, the amount of menthol is well balanced. After some seconds the sweet taste of wild berries appears. According to the producer it contains some peppermint, besides the wild berries and the menthol. Even thought I am not able to taste it, it might very well contribute to the round odour. The nicotine content seems to be quite low.

    Due to the wild berries flavour it has a slight similarity to the Kloster Andechs Spezial.

    Easy to use, nice odour, but not outstanding. I like to snuff it once in a while.

    In Poland, Alpina is some kind of legendary snuff, as it was available in Polish shops few years ago. Now we can get it only on allegro.pl, kind of Polish ebay, and even though it`s usually quite expensive, there is always a great demand for it. And I think it`s obvious, due to Alpina`s beautiful box and it`s refreshing and relaxing aroma.
    According to the producer it contains some peppermint

    It does, but you`ll feel it after few months, when the snuff will weather a bit. Fresh Alpina has very strong aroma of wild berries, it reminds me very nice candies I always buy in Germany (S`mint, or something like that - the red ones). My friend began his snuff addiction because of Alpina, and usually people`s first reaction after trying this snuff is like "Oh my God, it`s great!".

    Roam, they don't charge very much for international shipping. Usually about the price of 2 snuffs.

    Roam
    If it's any help, if you email me roderick@toquesnuff.com with your snail mail address I'll send you three samples (we normally only send two) Menthol, Peppermint and Blueberry. This way you can blend them together to make your own Alpina. If it works and you like it you can order from us and save with our free world wide shipping.

    german webshops tend to be expensive in shipping. snuff store has very good shipping.
    maybe british post service is cheaper? or they just have better service?

    Stefan at Rajek's (from Germany) has mentioned the postal issues before and if my memory serves me well I believe it mostly has to do with the German Post guaranteeing customer order deliveries and the insurance to cover the package if it is lost for its replacement.


    edit* That discussion is here

    No, only by CC/DC Western Union doesn't work in the UK banking system. It's just not trusted. What I do, when I can't pay by CC/Debit Card is pay by Euros. I just send cash by recorded delivery. If it's a decent company/person they send the goods, so far I've been lucky.

    It is just fantastic,a bit like Ozona Raspberry but mentholated an far better,i don't really like OR but Alpina is just fantastic.
