French Carotte by Wilsons & Co. (Sharrow)

Took a walloping sniff of this after working in the kitchen on a tomatoe tapanade with dried apples, onions, fig vinegar and tyme. Also, baking baguettes at the moment. The moment was just perfect for French Carotte. I just returned from Paris last week. The snuff gods smiled on me with this particular sniff, creating a magical experience. There are rare moments where I can say that a snuff has significantly enhanced an already pleasurable experience. Tonight was one of those moments. I give this snuff high marks. Bon Apetit!

I also don’t know what’s in it (maybe some sandalwood), but I felt like a rabbit after the first pinch. :wink: Seriously, I am almost certain, that the scent of carrots is intended. I didn’t have the F&T French Carrot yet. Just give it a try, it’s nice.

I ordered some of this about a month ago, have not tried it yet, better get to it! I will post tomorrow with my thoughts.

You can stand having a sealed snuff for about a month without trying it? Wow!

Yep, just have not gotten around to it. It was kind of a blind order, I just ordered what sounded good. I tried it today, and I like!! It is very easy to take again and again, very pleasant taste. To sum it up, it put a smile on my face. I can also tell that as others have said, the nicotine content is about medium, it didn’t get me jumpin around the room, but gave me a lift. Very enjoyable flavor here gents, there are no false words in the reviews above!!! I think this might be one of the easier Wilson’s blends, in my humble opinion.

Yeah it means french carrot. I guess french carrots are diffrent from other carrots, apperantly somewhere between a regular orange carrot and a parsnip.

The F&T I’ve tried of the carrot (that is what I like to call it). Is relativly moist and not too dry. Though it’s pretty finely ground. For some reason too which I can’t figure out the few times it does go into the back of my throat it bothers me more then when any other snuff has. In fact I’m enjoying some now.

Well this is what F&T says about the French Carotte, This is from Behind the Bow WindowsFrench Carotte. Snuff blending allows for infinite variety, since the many bases and well-nigh limitless perfumes give the expert ample scope for experiment. Sometimes, a happy combination of ingredients is arrived at with gratifying results. This happened with French Carotte. As a mixture it is new but the components were in use over two centuries ago. In earlier time the word “Carotte” meant the roll of tobacco from which snuff users grated their own; today it names one of the finest bases, smooth and retentive, deserving only the best of perfumes. One such is sandalwood oil which is distilled from the aromatic wood of a small evergreen tree grown in the East, and has a delicate non-cloying aroma faintly suggestive of incense. Combining these select ingredients has produced a charming snuff of unique distinction. French Carotte’s natural flavor ingredients include:Sandalwood Oil & “French Carotte” Essence

I hope snuffster doesnt mind if I quote his review off snuffreviews.com but I think he sums it up wonderfully here: “Sweet and spicy with what tastes like a hint of sandalwood. This is one of those old fashioned English snuffs that reminds me of Gentlemen’s clubs or Victorian London, just somehow not a modern flavour and all the better for it.” What a fantastic snuff! This snuff goes down well with a nice bit of smooth jazz in the background, I would say this is the John Coltrane of the snuff world :stuck_out_tongue:
