6 Photo - Special

Tasting notes

Every report is read by a person before anything changes.

Shipping calculated at checkout.

6 Photo Special is built on dark tobacco with incense as the primary note, backed by woody and earthy tones and a natural tobacco base. Cedar is the secondary note. The menthol is medium menthol, and it sits within the blend rather than covering the tobacco.

It is a moist snuff with a medium grind. Nicotine strength is strong. The colour is dark black. The blend has characteristics similar to moita-style snuffs, with a more restrained incense note that lets the tobacco come through more clearly.

6-P Special

A nice dark snuff with a bit of musk, a bit of incense, with a nice cooling effect. The cooling effect may be a bit of menthol, I don't know for sure, but it doesn't make my sinuses run like a menthol. It's a nice pick me up that I enjoy. Nice scent, mid nicotine and excellent price make this one, one I will always have handy.

Very nice, flavorful and lasting

I really like this. Incense, flowers, a little eucalyptus. I was looking for something like Janta Special Mail, but this is better.

How does this compare?

How does this compare to Janta red label black/mail? It sounds like it might be a good replacement.

The best of the black snuffs.

The thing that sets this on apart, from it's stablemates, is a perfect balance of flavors. That, and an overall effect that is second to none. You get high nicotine, that "tobacco in a muslin bag" scent, floral essences like lavender, and opium flowers, and just enough menthol to brighten it up. The effect is amazing. It would be a bargain at three times the price.

Dark snuff Eucalyptus some Rose!

Purchased around 5 cans of photo snuffs because I think new flavors are main stream snuffs in some countries other flavors old!
This is a older snuff and I had to leave the can open and put them on a dish plate and let them air out even had to do it with gawith pine ice because they smell real strong like urine and the pine ice was like pinesol soap! The urine smells and strong flavor broke down and they were great! This flavor strong eucalyptus some rose or perfume something like old soap that is not too strong. Think this snuff is what grandpas use to use enough to get you down the road with some energy and go to church hang out and talk to farmers and town people after church! Thinking might want to just buy a can put it in your dish and curio cabnet for show! And wanted to point out the dark snuffs 6 photo has have a different drip similar to dark chewing tobacco. At one time or the other might get the horse urine for sure then the bull crap smell like your on a farm so dont throw the can away use smaller doses let smells evaporate!

This is the first Indian snuff I've really liked. I don't get any menthol from it -- just a really nice incense.

The tin note is far more subtle than it is when used - a faint, spicy tobacco smell. When taken, you are suddenly in an Indian restaurant. The methol/eucalyptus is completely subsumed by a rich, spicy aroma that lingers forever - cloves, cardamon and a hint of cinnamon. I think I would find the taste of this objectionable if I were smoking it in a pipe, but to the nose, it's really pleasant. You definitely want to do small pinches, though, or I could see it being overwhelming.

I'm finding these really fragrant snuffs to be perfect for taking either before bed, or right before walking out of the house. You'll still have a faint remnant of it for a half hour or so.

I'm giving it 5 stars -- it's one of the best Indian snuffs I've tried.

This one grew on me. I had to try it because all of these traditional blends have very vague descriptions and reviews due to their complexity. This is the most incensey of the 6 photo line. Out of the tin it smells like cheap deodorant but dont let that fool you. At first pinch or scoop you an immediate incensey oiliness that my entire family immediately recognized as patculli. The base is niether bitter nor sweet, its right in the middle. Its fairly easy to take once you get used to it and once you get a few pinches in, you start to get the soothing eucalyptus that everyone mentions, but without rebound. This snuff has alot of flavor in it. One scoop would overpower a pocket can of any european snuff. If you have already adjusted to the calmer floral indian snuffs like kailash, this is one ull definitely want to havve around when other blends start to feel bland. I definitely recommend it after trying six photos more common blends.

The thing about six photo black snuffs is that they are so damn good. This one would have its own followers, and I am certainly one of them. Use it to know it. It is something different though I cant tell by my inexperienced nose as of now since Ive taken a lot. This is my night cap snuff. I use it during moments when I need something to relax after a long strenuous day at work.

When I made a purchase last fall I ordered two of the 45 gm tins of this fine snuff. i am glad I did. i have one next to my bed and start and end the day with a big pinch. Great menthol kick as well as other exotic scents. cannot really tell what, but who cares? Great snuff should be enjoyed not dissected like a lab rat. Enjoy this one, and see if you can decypher its mysteries. Wonderful snuff. Get enough the first time or you will have to reorder before you know it!

"Sun Pari" was my favorite snuff for the dark rich flavor. When I no longer could get, Pari I searched for a substitute. Photo 5 was a close and now Photo Special 6 has become my staple! A nice initial burn and lasting flavor, not for those who are "light" of heart. This is a dark almost black robust snuff. My new #1!!

This one is a MUST have in my opinion. Jet black with tons and tons of scent. when you snuff it up beware of the nicotine jolt, Med to High. There are many many levels of floral scent, I thought it to have some rose or similar scent in there with a big ooooomph of menthol on the tail end. Try this, go outside a bit later and the fresh air will treat you to another rollercoaster ride of nasal delight. I probably have not done this justice enough. I bought 2 x 45 gm, I am truly happy I did. Cannot keep away from it...Lovely snuff makes me think of far off lands and relaxing. Very soothing and comforting as well. Get some, you will love it I'll bet.

I am glad I ordered two of the 45gm tins of this snuff..WOW. Truly a great addition to your snuff arsenal. Black moist snuff with tons and tons of scent. DO NOT take a huge pinch! this has alot of nicotine in my opinion, but I like that. There are so many scents it is hard to describe them all. Rose, menthol, and other spices I cannot identify.The scent lingers for an awfully long time, I felt it did so for an hour or more. The tin is sealed for freshness and was like it was made yesterday before I opened it. Long lasting delight. Very relaxing and soothing. Fantastic snuff, hope you like it as well.
