Here is another strongly mentholated Wilson's snuff, as indicated by the name. Avery similar grind and moisture content to SM 500, that is to say, fairly fine and lightly moist, showing a bit of clumping in the tin. The color is noticeably darker than the SM 500 however. The tin aroma is interestingly not as strong as SM 500, it is still strong menthol, but sweeter somehow and a bit more subdued. Upon taking a pinch, the sweetness becomes very apparent to me, but is quickly overblown by the strong menthol flavor. As this menthol tapers of a bit after 20-30 seconds, the sweetness of the tobacco comes back out and balances the menthol nicely. This is another fine menthol that does not clog the nose due to it's fine grind, and for me it is very pleasant. I am an inveterate menthol supporter, so some may find this too strongly mentholated for their tastes, but I quite like it. I prefer it over SM 500, mainly because of this sweet flavor that I cannot define the source of. It complements the menthol, and is reminiscent of a mint patty. If you like a strong menthol snuff, this one is a winner!

I haven't experienced any major clogging from any of the Wilson's menthol snuffs. It may be due to personal differences, if so, I empathize with you and your clogging. The Poschl snuffs are another matter entirely. I almost always need to blow my nose before I am done enjoying them, as I take rather large pinches, and the clumpy, moist and coarse nature of their snuffs clog me up after 20-30 minutes.

Aloha!

I recently bought a 10g tin of this after trying the Wilson's Cherry Menthol and being really happy with it. I especially picked out this flavor for the menthol content since I find that I recently enjoy the extra sensation of mentholated snuffs. When I opened my tin it had a strong ammonia type smell to it so I'm thinking I need to air it out a bit. The menthol is pretty strong and the nicotine seems to be stout as well. Still haven't gotten any of the reported sweetness out of it but I'm hoping as it ages a bit it might stabilize. At first I was concerned that I had purchased a pure mixing snuff but after having read the above posts it seems this snuff can be taken straight. It doesn't seem to deliver well in my bullet and tends to clog it somewhat, may have to use plain old pinching. Oh well, I'm satisfied so far with it and feel I got what I paid for.

Felt the need to post a follow up on this. After a bit of airing, my tin has come about nicely. The flavor is really coming through strong and the mixture is even bullet feeding just fine now. This stuff is great, really grows on you fast. I can't quit sniffing it up. I'm getting that "sweetness" you guys described, or rather something along that spectrum. There's still a ton of other snuffs I want to try out but I plan to always have a supply of this around.
