Wilsons - Best Dark
Wilsons Best Dark is a blend of well fermented tobaccos that produce a rich, dark and aromatic smells reminiscent of an old fashioned humidor. The luxurious flavors of these hand picked broad leaf cultivars can be experienced upon opening the tin; the journey continues with rarefied notes of vanilla and the subtle hint of lemon rind. The dark color, medium coarse flour and medium moisture provide a detectable burn and an above average nicotine hit that is long lasting. This must be labeled as a classic English snuff in the best SP tradition. Should be in most cupboards next to the Earl Grey tea box. Cheers and have a pinch today.

WoS Best Dark uses a blend of well-fermented, dark tobacco leaves, specifically Burley and Dark Fired varietals, which lay the foundation for its robust character.
• Primary Tobacco Base: The flavor is deep, dark, and notably rich, reminiscent of an old-fashioned humidor. It carries the savory, earthy robustness expected from quality dark-fired tobacco.
• Aromatic Notes (S.P. Type): What elevates Best Dark is the light application of the famous S.P. (Spanish/Snuff-Perfumed) aroma. Unlike a pure dark snuff, this blend features subtle, bright top notes that cut through the darkness. Reviewers often detect:
• Mediterranean Citrus: Hints of lemon rind or other bright essential oils.
• Sweet Vanilla: A very mild, almost creamy background sweetness from fermentation and mild flavoring.
• Sensation: The overall experience is rich, aromatic, and complex—a true classic that can serve as an all-day snuff for the dedicated dark tobacco fan.
Nicotine (Nic) Strength
WoS Best Dark is highly respected for its potent kick.
• Nicotine Rating: High. While not overwhelmingly strong like some pure high-nicotine rustica blends, it delivers a distinctly above-average nicotine hit that is sharp, quick to arrive, and long-lasting.
• The Hit: The effect is often described as "fairly sharpish," providing a solid, satisfying buzz that quickly clears the mind, making it an excellent choice for a morning pinch.
Grind and Texture
The physical characteristics of Best Dark contribute heavily to its user-friendliness and smooth intake.
• Grind: The texture is coarse (or medium-coarse). This is a great feature for beginners and seasoned users alike, as the larger particles minimize the chance of tobacco dust traveling too far into the sinus or throat, resulting in less irritating tap-back.
• Moisture: This snuff is consistently moist. The moisture content makes it easy to handle and press, and it clings comfortably to the nasal membrane, providing a long-lasting scent and nicotine delivery without drying out quickly.
• Taking Style: Due to the coarse, moist nature, it's best taken with a solid pinch right up to the nostril opening, allowing the clump to settle easily.
