I didn't realize that the anise in this is so strong. Other reviews say it just compliments the flavor but for me it's prominent. Anise isn't one of my favorite.. the snuff is great otherwise (fluffy moist, easy to take, great combo of tobaccos, great nic hit)
New to snuff, have tried around 35 different brands/ styles, and this is my go to everyday snuff. Course grind, medium moisture, heavy menthol, best nicotine hit so far.
Another fantastic snuff from the Black line and one I could pinch all day!
I’m not new to snuff taking, and it takes a good snuff to get my attention enough to write a review. Snuv Black Ice is exactly that! Black, moist tobacco that pinches well, and stays in the nose. The menthols are there, but don’t hit hard. Rather, the small amount of anise mixes with the more potent menthol, and that’s what you notice first. After a few minutes, the scents relax a bit, and the tobacco becomes noticeable. The nicotine level is pleasantly high, and gives instant satisfaction. While I’ve only tried three Snuv products, and only in the Black range, I am impressed by the excellent base flour, which appears to be oiled. The menthols and other scents are tastefully done, and can stand toe to toe with any of the Bayern types from Poschl and Bernard. I recommend this to anyone who loves oiled German snuffs. It’s similar to Gletcherprise but not the same. In fact, it’s wee bit better, and I forgot to mention, the tins are also very good, seal well, and keep the snuff fresh!
I'm a newbie when it comes to snuff. I've smoked cigarettes most of my life and started using General Snus 4 years ago. I've always wanted to try snuff and have always been curious as to why anyone would put tobacco in their nose, lol! After watching a few videos and watching people use it and really enjoy it, my mouth was watering so me and my brother put in small order. This ended up being the first Snuff I've ever tried. I don't have anything to compare it to but at first glance, it was black, kind of soft and fluffy, which made it real easy to pinch and control. It looked to be of medium moisture and the smell was of a well balanced menthol and some type of flower that I can't pinpoint. I'm sure there's more to it than that but having never used snuff, it was a small shock to my system, after using just a small pinch. Just a weird sensation. That just lasted a second. I quickly found it to be quite refreshing. The nicotine "buzz" was different than any other that I've ever felt. It wasn't overbearing or anything like that. It was just a constant good feeling that I've never felt with nicotine before. It's always either been way to much nicotine that makes you sick and woozy or not enough. Don't get me wrong. You get a little dizzy but the nicotine buzz was very enjoyable. The most pleasant I've ever felt. I can't wait to try more and discover all the different flavors, aroma's, complexities and depth that snuff has to offer. SNUV Black Sinesis was the second I tried. Reviewing it next. If anyone has suggestions on what I should try, please hit me up. [****]
