Rose forward snuff but not overwelming as princess special well balanced floral snuff
Smell good and fresh in the nose!
I poured a mountain out the first time size of my thumb nail . Hate and love these tins but they kick my ass sometimes but the burn is so nice .
Macouba is a village on the northern tip of Martinique where a mythical tobacco called Maccaboy is reputed to grow. William Makepeace Thackeray lauded it in his novels. Low in nicotine and of average moisture, this medium ground khaki-red snuff has a slight burn, right after intake. The natural aroma of rose in the tobacco made Maccaboy world famous. F&T’s version mixes-in the essences of rose, sandalwood and, to my nose, key lime. It is sweet and its combination of flavours make it taste like a Turkish Delight.
Geranium top notes, fading quickly to rose and musk, then a steady lingering sandalwood with the most amazing coumarin finish! Exceedingly rare to find anything with the fresly cut hay aroma of coumarin, this is a transportive snuff. Slightly moist, very fine, silky, and with a rather generous nicotine content, this is by far the greatest snuff I have ever had the pleasure of inhaling. Yes, inhaling. One must be carefuly not to over sniff this, even though it is moist, the fine milling can result in a bit hitting the lungs if you are not careful. Buy this in large quantity.
The F&T line is old world quality & class all the way, when I opened the tin I was shocked and discouraged by the powerful fragrance like nothing I had tried before but once in the nose I was pleasant surprised and after walking outside I was hooked, it's a very long lasting scent similar to F&T Bordeaux but with less floral notes, I really enjoy this one.

This was the first Fribourg and Treyer snuff I ever tried and to be honest, I just don't care for it. I ordered this while I was still new to snuffing and experimenting with an assortment of snuffs. Years later, I find that I'm still experiementing with them because there are just so darn many different types of snuff, which is a good thing because peoples preffered flavors seem to change on a daily basis and I'm no exception. Macouba has a perfect grind and texture and moisture level going for it, but its just that the scent is extremely strong and pungent perfume. It took me a little while to realize that I'm just not a big fan of any perfumed snuff and I just dont seem to go for the floral snuffs. I like to be able to taste the tobacco and I don't like a really pungent smell in my snuff, espescially one that smells like perfume but there are many who love perfumed snuffs and its all they will use. So to each, their own. If you are a fan of florals and highly perfumed snuff, then Macouba might be something you'd love, but speaking personally - I wont be ordering this one again.
