This blend is a bit drier & finer when compared to others in the line but that's intended to give a nice fresh citrus hit without cooling to back the profile or get in the road of the lemon bite. It's a decent flavor profile - less sweet than Sunset but less rounded as well.
For me, this is like a chemical burn, with only the briefest aroma in the nose. The tin smells great, then you take it and get a solid minute of uncontrollable sneezing and eye watering. It works much better paired with a bold medicated blend.
This blend is perfect! It’s bold and just the right amount of nicotine
Actually smells like zested lemon peels. None of that Clorox wipes/detergent scent at all. Burns a bit; slightly dry. Only complaint is the scent doesn't last long at all. But that gives you an excuse to keep pinching 🤏
Summery blend. Great for a sunny day! well worth a try.
Good snuff. Bit dry. More lemon would of been nice.
I know this gets some decent reviews but for me, it's way to harsh, for lack of a better term. If you use it, use about 1/2 of what you typically would otherwise it'll take the top of your head off. Yes, it's citrus-y. Mostly lemon.
I'm relatively new to snuff and this is like the 5th flavor I've tried. The scent itself is great but it has that, "blow the back of your head out" feeling. My eyes water, nose runs, etc. I don't have that issue with Jip, Warm Glow or Highland Ice but this stuff packs a punch. I have the same problem with 6 Photos Coffee Kick.
If you like that kind of snuff that makes your head melt, you'll like this.
If you like the smell of lemons or citrus this is it. Love using this when outdoors. Medium grind that is easy to take with a decent nic hit. Lovely all around. Wish the smell lasted a bit longer.
Ok, so I'm new to snuff. I've been using Navy (an American snuff) for about four weeks now. This is a COMPLETELY different feel. Wonderful is such an understatement!!!! True lemon flavor and scent. I was worried that it would be fake flavor. I dont know how they combined this, but I keep looking for a fresh lemon slice in the tin......
Nice lemon, not sweet, wish it had a touch of menthol.
Sicilian burst is an easy snuff to consume with deep flavours of Sorrento lemons. It recalls lazy afternoons in Capri where the quaffing of limoncellos after lunch seemed like such a good idea at the time. It is a nice snuff to clean the palette without the lingering sweetness that consuming too much of the liquor quite often entails. I found it particularly nice as sundowner in accompaniment to strong gin & tonic.
I didn’t like this at first but I’m very new to snuff. I smelled baby powder and pee when I first snuffed this. Put it away for a few days and went back to it. After using other varieties for a few days my palate matured slightly and now I smell fresh menthol, lemon and tobacco. I really like it. 5 stars.
This is like zesting lemons with a microplane. Beautiful, lemony, zesty scent that lasts for a good while. The nicotine hit is really nice too. Glad I picked this one up. 5 stars.
Dry in texture means if you sniff too hard you will get more of a blast than you bargained for. I agree with other posters while day lemon and tobacco go together well. Nice flavour, just be careful!
Very nice snuff indeed, fresh and citrusy. Reminds me of lemon candies. But don't take too much at once, otherwise it would smell like a dish soap.
Another good offering by McChrystals. The lemon scent is of zest rather than candy. Easy to take with a little burn, and a nic kick about average. A very pleasant outdoors all day snuff. The grind is under medium and the color is a rich brown. I have come to love all lemon snuffs. Lemon and tobacco is just a great pairing as they complement each other greatly. I do favor WoS’s Lemon Grove over Mild Lemon as Lemon Grove is slightly more lemony, has a touch of bergamot, and finer therefore a stronger nic kick. But, Mild Lemon is still great in its own way, and when I want an easy going Lemon Snuff that wont cause sneezing or watering of the eyes, I don’t hesitate to reach for it. Mild Lemon gives an initial Lemon blast and hints of dusty sweet anise, fades quick as the tobacco taste increases which has a pleasant nuttiness. If you like Lemon snuffs this is highly recommended as this is a great variation on a lemon snuff by McChrystals.
a very mild snuff.it has a very sweet,long lasting flavour.although i recomend buying smaller tins as this might dry up if you dont use it too much.
In my opinion "light Lemon" is a slight understatement. It has an extremely strong lemon scent that hits you as soon as you open the tin. This is a very fine and dry snuff that could easily end up in your throat if your not careful. the lemon scent is very strong, but pleasant. minimal nose burn for a lemon snuff, but not burn free. the strong lemon scent lasts about 10 minutes in your nose, however you will be gently reminded of the citrus flavor for another 20 minutes or so. if you enjoy lemon, or citrus you should give this one a try.
McChrystals makes some of the best fruited snuffs, and this Mild Lemon is fantastic. Toast is nice, easy to take, and the scent lasts a long time. Suitable for all day use without becoming cloying.
This is a fantastic snuff! You first open the tin to the smell of a fresh cut lemon. There is a slight burn when used, but it only last 2 to 3 seconds. This is definitely an everyday snuff. The smell never gets old and is always refreshing. What else is there to say that hasn't been said. If you have never tried it, i highly recommend picking up a tin and enjoying this tin of excellence.
Compared to other lemon snuff I've tried, this one is strongly up front with a lemon peel kind of flavor, rather than a sharp one. There's a kind of nice background tobacco flavor in there too, that is very subtle and appropriate. The color is medium brown, the grind somewhat fine but not so fine it's likely to go too far back. The nicotine content is medium-low, just enough to let you know it's there. While not my favorite citrus snuff, McC's Mild Lemon is wholly satisfactory on every level if you're at all into citrus flavors. I probably wouldn't use this one all day, but as a treat in the afternoon, particularly in summer when we can all use a bit of refreshment!
My first McChrystal snuff. It is a fine snuff with moderate moisture when compared to dry scotches and the like. It has a burn in the nose and a little care should be taken on the first sniff. The lemon scent has been captured exactly here, and though mild, manages to hide the tobacco completly. While the lemon is refreshing, it only lasted for what seemed like seconds. Nicotine is really only evident if you do massive amounts. Not in my re-order plans, as it is hardly worth the effort.
