I had the Queens Special, it was very nice, and I usually don’t like sweet snuffs. The box arrived broken so I gave it away, but I would defiantly try it again.
Did a quick google search and I don’t see that Jaxon’s has a site, do you have it off hand ?
Got mine the other day. Duke’s Brown seems like Viking Dark, or something close. Really good. The Queens…hmm, it reminds of something else, but I can’t put my finger on it. Real nice cherry and vanilla, fluffy, slightly moist. Seems like it’s a Sam Gawith product. Anyone have thoughts about this? I like all the Jaxon’s I’ve tried so far. The Extra Strong is a dark, slightly coarse menthol with a rather strange additional scent. What is it? It’s growing on me…
@50ft_trad…Yeah, Celtic Talisman seems like Queens! And Duke’s Brown is likely V Brown. Whatever they are, they’re pretty good. I also got one called High Drive, thats flavored, according to the shopkeeper, like Red Bull energy drink. I’ve never tried the drink, but the snuff is quite nice. Fluffy, almost reddish-brown in color, slightly moist. They’ve had that one for a while, but I had only tried a dried out tap box of it. The sealed tin is much nicer.
@mrmanos how is the nicotine hit on the High Drive ? I think I will have to try that one on my next order. Problem is that I can’t order more than 70USD at one time or I have to pay extra VAT.
What? Are these confirmed to be made by Sam Gawith? I love Sam Gawith and their style of coarse, moist, fluffy, dark snuffs. And what with their now-reduced selection, I’m definitely interested in this if they’re contracting with SG.
They have several snuffs made by SG. I think the High Drive is the now discontinued Guarana, the Queens Special sounds like Celtic Talisman, and then there’s Coffee Cream, Toffee, and several others. If these are all registered and fully compliant, it means another lease of life for some SG snuffs we would otherwise have lost
Had a look at the Snuff.me.UK and notice they will ship to the U.S. but not to all the state’s. Why do they exclude some of them? Of course my state is on that black list. What BS.
I believe they ship to states which haven’t outlawed distance selling of tobacco (or something to that effect). In other words, blame your state, not Jaxons. They’re just avoiding law suits
Then just be extremely grateful that there’s someone who’ll do whatever’s necessary to get you your snuff. You can’t blame other companies for wanting to keep their noses clean.
The High Drive is guarana scented. It’s good, a real nice medium brown, and kind of fluffy. But it’s not any higher in nicotine, nor does it have a guarana-like speediness. It’s just a good snuff. I wrote to the company asking what flavor it was, and he answered back and told me it was guarana. He said it was like “Red Bull” energy drink, but I think it is only the flavor, not the actual seed or fruit or whatever it is that gives that drink it flavor. At any rate, you should try it, it’s quite nice. I like their Rose, and Queen’s Special too. I’ve never tried the chocolate/tangerine.
@mrmanos. Don’t really care for the Chocolate Tangerine, not chocolate and orange in general, I got a large tin as a replacement for another small tin that was out of stock.
Samuel Gawith no longer make jaxons snuff , which has allowed me to improve ( in my own opinion ) the snuff and scents, design and away with the old plastic sliders
