Fribourg & Treyer - Macouba
Fribourg & Treyer - Macouba
Fribourg & Treyer Macouba has a fine grind with slightly moist texture and medium-high nicotine strength. The scent is heavily floral, with rose and geranium as the primary notes, backed by sandalwood and lavender. The blend includes vanilla and coumarin notes.
The tobacco base uses Virginia and Oriental varieties, but the floral scenting is the primary characteristic. This is not a tobacco-forward snuff. The rose note is the strongest element, with a musk undertone that adds depth to the floral profile.

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.
