Initial Impression

A crisp menthol burst greets the nose with confident freshness, carrying cool moisture that clears the senses instantly. The cooling is assertive yet refined—never harsh, with just the right touch of softness.

Mid-Stage Transition

As the chill settles, fresh green apple emerges with unmistakable clarity—akin to biting into a just-picked, crisp apple straight from the tree. The fruit character is vibrant and full-bodied, interweaving with the menthol's cool threads. Sweet yet clean, refreshing and satisfying.

Base Notes

The fruit acidity is the defining touch here—that lively, tart freshness that makes the apple character three-dimensional. It tempers the menthol's sharpness and brings the whole profile into vivid, transparent focus.

Finish

MQG fades with graceful simplicity. The menthol recedes gently, leaving behind the pure, clean sweetness of green apple lingering—fresh and uncomplicated. A finish that captures a sense of summer clarity.

MQG - The Orchard's Edge

MQG takes a deliberately bold approach—green apple in its most authentic, astringent form paired with strong menthol cooling. Where other makers might soften the apple into candy-like sweetness, Xun Xiang chose to preserve its natural sharpness. The result is a snuff that captures the bright acidity of freshly cut Granny Smith, crisp and invigorating.

This blend exemplifies Xun Xiang's commitment to high-flavour intensity without artificial compromise. The tobacco, matured using ancient cellar-storage techniques, provides a clean foundation that allows the apple-menthol combination to dominate. MQG is designed for those who prefer their snuff sharp and uncompromising—a palate-cleansing experience that makes no apologies for its directness.
