The burn is slight for there is a steady on rush of a plethora of different methylations. Done all the while smoothly with rich somewhat dark tobacco undertones. It's masterfully made, and easy on the nose. It would be like where Lg260 Haeges would make you jump out of bed waiting for your breath to come back with a running nose, Were Med. No99 is like an awaking to a dancing coolness clearing your pathways of breath. With a moderate high grade clean nicotine on going in your head to make those windows to the soul batter open wide and bright sunshine.
A quintessentially English snuff in my eye, and my personal rating is 9 out of 10. Finely-ground base flour of reddish-brown color melded with a moderate amount of menthol—on the eucalyptus and camphor side, not spearmint—and topped with a touch of floral essence. At first sniff, the menthol cools you instantly but it’s far from overwhelming. Immediately following the cool rush of menthol, an impossibly pleasant floral essence takes hold. Only after a long while do you smell a bit of the base flour. Opening a fresh tin brings on a whiff of the usual Wilson’s of Sharrow tobacco-ammonia smell; it’s not disagreeably strong, but it is front and center alongside menthol. After a couple hours and decanting it into a small 5g tin (my preference), the ammonia dissipates. A wonderful medicated menagerie of aromas comes through. Floral essences set this apart from other medicated snuff, but it’s not at all like a strongly floral Fribourg & Treyer blend. Nicotine levels are medium-low—which is the ONLY thing I don't like about it—but the aromatic quality is incredible. It soothes like a cold lemonade on a hot day. Suitable for nearly any occasion; could be your "all day" snuff for sure. Excellent for warm and humid days.
This Snuff is another all day banger for me and a must have to clear my sinuses at bedtime 🌙 😴 plus I wake up randomly multiple times throughout the night and take multiple bumps and pass right back out lol. It really takes me back to childhood I can still remember seeing the older adults or grandparents having that tiny little tin of it they'd always keep in there pocket or in the junk drawer, medicine cabinet or somewhere randomly about the house or truck glove box. The color is redish with just enough moisture to work and a nice fine grind the smell/taste is👌 a perfect mix of Menthol,eucalyptus,peppermint and camphor with just enough vitamin N to get the job done and calm your nerves and ease your pain with the endorphin rush. This snuff is a real OG and will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️ A Top Banana 🍌 in my book. Grade A++ Top Notch
Super stout. Great snuff. Little dry.
I'm not sure if there is a difference in freshness/quality with the 5g and 20g tins, but the 5g tins feel very underpowered. I was expecting something a bit similar to Red Bull snuff, but this one has far less Nicotine than Red Bull and the menthol isn't exactly on the cool side, it just a slight burn. That's the peppermint. Might recommend as a beginner medicated snuff, but it doesn't feel like there is much there. Nicotine wise I'm not really feeling a whole lot. I don't think the tin was as fresh as Simon's.
