Initial Impression

A bold menthol surge arrives with purpose, carrying with it the unmistakable sharpness of green apple. The effect is bracing and immediate—like biting into a tart Granny Smith on a cold morning.

Mid-Stage Transition

The apple character intensifies, revealing its astringent, slightly sour nature. This is not a candied sweetness but rather the authentic brightness of unripe fruit—clean, sharp, and invigorating.

Base Notes

The tobacco base is deliberately minimal, allowing the apple-menthol combination to dominate. What emerges is a snuff of singular focus—no competing flavours, just pure, concentrated refreshment.

Finish

MQG finishes as it begins—with precision. The sourness fades to leave a clean, palate-cleansing sensation reminiscent of freshly sliced apple. Ideal for those who prefer their snuff sharp and uncompromising.

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.
