Upon opening the tin, your nose is greeted with a spicy aroma coupled with the coolness of menthol. I go back and forth about whether I detect ammonia or not, I'm afraid my nose is not calibrated enough yet to say for certain. This snuff has a fine grind, and is just a bit moist, enough so that it forms small clumps in the tin, but these break apart easily enough. It seems to me that there is another, sort of savory, spicy aroma that accompanies the menthol, but I cannot tell what it is. For some reason, I really enjoy the color of this snuff, it is a very bright brown, with a little yellow/orange coloration. Upon snuffing a pinch of this stuff, you are hit with a very intense menthol rush. There is not a trace to be found of the elusive spiciness I mentioned earlier. After a few seconds, the menthol flavor dies down to a pleasant coolness, and a bit of the spiciness and tobacco flavor come through, although menthol still predominates. The scent lasts for quite some time, maybe 15 minutes of pleasure. I do get a bit of runny nose from this snuff, which is to be expected with the strength of the menthol in it, but it is not nose-clogging like the Poschl's can be sometimes. I very much like the combination of the fairly fine grind and the menthol strength of this snuff. It is a pretty "clean" snuff, not too much nose crud. The nicotine content seems to be moderate to me, I can definitely feel it, but it is not too strong for me. I am not a cigarette smoker, so I am pretty sensitive to nicotine, I have made myself sick in the past over-indulging in some snuffs. Overall, I quite like it, but I am a devoted menthol fan. If you enjoy medicated snuffs, then this is well worth it, and a bargain to boot. I bought my 25 gram tin from Mars for $2.70. Looking at it, I don't know when I will ever finish it, which is more than I can say for the poschl boxes that I buy. Happy snuffing!

YA...this one too...lol

A touch of synesthesia perhaps? :-)

INDEED!!!!! ;-P

Got some of this yesterday as well, this is a very interesting snuff. Strong menthol, long lasting. I really like the "coolness" effect it gives after taking it from just breathing regularly through your nose. Just below McChyrstals OG for me in the menthol snuff department, it is stronger and longer lasting than the McC's but I prefer the scent of the OG better and I get less nose run. I can definitely see this one going into my all day snuff rotation. Not much i can really add to Smarvy's excellent review.
