This is a non-mentholated offering from Wilson's that is medium fine in grind and fairly dry, not toast dry, but one step away. The tin aroma screams spearmint at you, and this put me off a bit, as I don't particularly care for this flavor. Upon snuffing my feelings were confirmed, I don't care for spearmint. However I will attempt an impartial review just the same, for the benefit of my spearmint inclined brethren. The snuff experience is very clean and strong, almost menthol strong in the spearmint aroma, not lasting nearly as long however. This tastes very much like Wrigley's spearmint gum, with a noticeable nicotine kick. I imagine this is exactly what it would taste like if Wrigley's started making their own nicotine-gum! It is obvious this is a quality snuff with commensurate flavoring, but if you don't like spearmint, you're not going to like this stuff.

*edit* I have since discovered that this snuff is indeed mentholated, but it was masked to me by the over-powering flavor of the spearmint. This should give you an indication of just how strongly flavored this snuff is!

I have not had Crumbs of Comfort, but the description of Prime Minister on Mars's site is "similar to Crumbs of Comfort". If that's the case, I probably wont be trying CoC, as this flavor just isn't for me. By all means try Prime Minister and then write us up a review comparing it to CoC, I would be interested to know what the differences are, even if I don't really like the spearmint flavor that much.

Speaking of Mars and Speaking of W-of-S is it just me or does mars only sell their products in bulk? Made an order this afternoon, wanted to try some crumbs of comfort, but I dont wanna try a pound of the stuff!!!!

Ahhh, Okies!! Thanx Poo, he must be out of all the W-of-S tins..... eagerly awaiting a shipment i gather...lol

I had actually planned on ordering both....lol.....I'm waiting on a response from the owner as to when he'll be receiving more crumbs tins.......i'm patient. lol

Spearmint and chocolate does sound interesting. I keep thinking I should mix some Chocolate with some Mastiff (which is peppermint), but haven't gotten around to it yet. Might be like a York patty up the nose.

The only Chocolate I know if is from S. Gawith. It's reviewed on the Snufftalk site by, well, modesty prevents. Mastiff is also Gawith-- it's the strongest peppermint I've come across thus far.

Prime Minister has grown to be a top-tenner of mine.
Nice rounded menthol experience, and to me the spearmint, although strong, doesn't swamp that, but overlays it. Having said which, I do enjoy pepping the menthol up with a little WoS Extra Menthol and/or McChrystal's Sturco (which appears to almost guarantee at least one good sneeze) and/or WoS SM500. It's fun to vary the experience.

I like PM especially over the morning and into the early afternoon, and also as an occasional pep-up later in the evening. It's superb at cutting through a late-night fug, espcially if alcohol-induced. In fact it can get very moreish on such occasions.

In my opinion PM is quite a lot better than the other Wilsons of Sharrow spearmint special, Crumbs of Comfort. Now that one is Wrigley's Spearmint, sweeter and a bit more of a two-dimensional experience than PM.
