McChrystals Glacier is based on the OG blend, but with less camphor and a spearmint-like nasal blast that pairs well with the menthol. It leans a bit too heavily toward the sweet-mint side of spearmint for my preference, but if you enjoy the robust sweetness of your favourite spearmint gum, it may be worth a look.
Nicotine is moderate to low, so this can be enjoyed all day long if you fancy the spearmint-like flavour. It has enough moisture present to sit in the nose easily, with menthol and cooling agents that help to mask any nasal irritation: medium-moist, with some minor clumping in the tin, a hair more moist than the Original & Genuine. The grind is medium-fine and common in many English-style snuffs — it sits on the hand but can blow off in a light breeze, and can end up in the sinuses if snuffed too forcefully. The tobacco colour is a muddled brown, uniform throughout, and it is friendly to use.
If you add Glacier to your rotation, you may struggle to appreciate the subtler notes of other snuffs when switching throughout the day. It almost seems to dull the palate. The spearmint and sweetness linger, while the tobacco remains largely unnoticed until the finish. The mint and menthol effectively conceal the nasal burn. Compared with the OG blend, a pinch produced slightly more drip for me, though its moisture content is sufficient to make it easy to use.
I found that blending Glacier with McChrystal's Violet at a 2:1 ratio was an excellent way to mentholate the Violet. The blend nicely accented the floral notes while reducing the discomfort I typically experience with McChrystal's Violet.
I love my snuff love your guys' products
The only thing I don't like is the wait time on the shipping
And it's really cool when you guys throw in an extra sample every time I order

McChrystals Glacier Snuff
The recent order has not yet been received. However, my first order is awesome. All neatly packaged and full of snuff.
I am looking forward to a continuing relationship because Mc Crystals is the brand I used while living on west coast and now that I have moved back home to Alabama, I have not found any kind of 'fine ground' snuff. All I come across is the thick stuff or chewing tobacco.
So PLEASE keep doing what y'all do cause I am going to keep ordering.
McChrystals - Glacier
Too sweet for me. It seems like i am bumping crushed up candy canes left over from Christmas. Not that it’s a bad thing just be in the mood for a strong peppermint taste accompanied with menthol.
Thought this would just be insane menthol and that's it, but I was way off. It's a delicious scent of what seems to be a mixture of spearmint and peppermint. The grind is the most moist Mcchrystal I've come across, so it's easier to take than say, SP. Even besides those two oils, it seems even more complex. 5 stars!
I'm so enamored with this snuff! I'm a minty person and this is definitely a nose-tingler! The vitamin N is solid and the after is amazing...just lovely, like wrigley's spearmint gum. It's got quite the punch in the nose, but it's worth it. I carry this as part of my EDC. A great way to get recentered and back in the grind but with a grin.
Very enjoyable but you better like menthol. This one works well for me as a pick me up. Not because of a strong nic hit but the coolness.
Ok, so I have to say, this is as cold as a snuff could be made and still be enjoyable! It is a new favorite for me. I love the "clarity of cool" this provides. SO DAMN YUMMY!!! Totally love it! I get a real jolt from this snuff and it puts a real pep in my step and I have crossed eyes for a few minutes, but they go back to normal after my face has defrosted.....
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like if you got clocked by a glacier?......yeah no one really wants to know, but it's the closest thing to what you'd think it feels like. A feeling of frigid cold going straight to your dome that will wake up anyone. Sounds unpleasant, but definitely the best feeling when you are on the go knowing you have a long day ahead. Would highly recommend if you are looking for something that's going to keep you up for long-hauling days. You'll be alert for awhile.
Always a nice cool pinch and consistent quality.
Glacier from McChrystal's is a refreshing and bright snuff with a strong spearmint/menthol. Like another reviewer stated it is a very nice morning snuff that clears out the sinuses and gets you going. There are herbal notes on the finish. If you are a mint fan - this one is for you.
Good children have nothing to fear from McChrystal’s glacier. Like ground candy cane it induces sugar plum fairies to dance in your head. Similar to Bernard’s Stiff Prise, yet much sweeter like the blessed children it is crafted to please.
This is a great snuff for mint lovers. Smells like candy cane and lasts a long time. This is a great all day snuff.
Very nice mentholated snuff. Nice flavor/ aroma similar to grandpa's old scotch mints. Nice kick, perfect in the morning.
This is a unique mint that seems to cover both peppermint and spearmint giving it a nicely rounded out scent. It still has a little mint and menthol burn but it's part of the experience. A quality menthol snuff from McChrystal's, missing the sage note of the o&g and highland ice.
