Which is the craziest and most metholated snuff you have ever tried?

WoS Dynamite, I took it only once and got half of my skull frozen in less than 2 seconds, and never touched it since. I have another 5g tin of Super Cool (Super Menthol) still unopened, might be stronger, but I guess that I won’t be able to compare, as those are well above my tolerance level.

From the ones that I have tried, I would say WoS dynamite is my favorite, but I can’t take it all day like McChrystals  O&G. 

I have yet to try hedges, but I have heard good things about it.

WoS extra menthol, is strong menthol, but not very complex.

I would have to cast my vote for McChrystals Highland Ice. Menthol, Eucalyptus, and Peppermint Oil. Take a pinch in the winter right before going out to shovel snow, and it feels like an air conditioner blowing from your sinuses through the back of your head.

On the WoS site they say that Super Cool is the “equivalent of Medicated 99” and SM 500 is the “equivalents of Hedges L260.”

What does that mean, these are copies of Hedges and Medicated 99 or they are the same product with a different label ?

@Hitsuzen I remember reading that Highland Ice is the same as O&G, but I don’t detect any peppermint in O&G.

That being said, I don’t think that any of the McChrystals come close to WoS Dynamite, when you open that tin the whole room smells of it.

@yisraeldov Highland Ice and O&G are definitely very different creatures. I have a bulk tub of each. Highland Ice is like O&G on steroids B-) You should check out Paul’s video on it, it’s hilarious!

@Hitsuzen, from this thread ( http://snuffhouse.com/discussion/10657/mcchrystal-s-highland-ice ) it seems that McChrystals says they are the same. Does anyone know if Ian McChrystal uses this forum ?

@yisraeldov Yes, but at the end of the thread, OP states that new that it’s in his hands, they’re definitely different. I just did a comparative pinch to follow up the pinch of O&G I had already taken, and I have to agree.

@hitsuzen, Ok, I only had my tin of highland ice in my hands for about 2 seconds before some one snatched it up, my first impression was that I was inclined to believe that it was the same as OG, but that was just from the tin note, I never even got to take a pinch.

I just saw Paul’s video, and will have to make another order from McChrystals ( who does free shipping BTW )  The OG is a great all day snuff, but I really like peppermint.

For me it is the 6 Photo Medicated No 666. Strong blast of menthol.

@yisraeldov and @Hitsuzen that is what McChystals claim, that Highland Ice is just O&G packaged for a different market (whatever that means). Though I am 100% sure these are different snuffs, I found O&G to have a Menthol and Camphor while Highland Ice has a Menthol and Eucalyptus. Personally I found O&G stronger in the menthol department than Highland Ice, though thats just my nose.

Whether “packaged for a different market” they mean it is exactly the same snuff or basically the same snuff though slightly different. I did notice a slightly different grind though that may just be me, i’ve been out of Highland Ice for a while they used to be two of my favorites

polar prise or bernards jubilaeum/wiesn/weiss blau and their bernards steife prise
polar is most icy one but kind of numbs your nose so its not that strong (still strong) then jubilaums is next which is similar to the polar prise (or  amostrinha) but a bit less sharp but not less strong
and then bernards steife prise which is very strong in menthol and everything except no smoke like the above
taking a big pinch of those in cold windy weather is lovely insane

Id say WoS Extra menthol is still the strongest menthol Ive ever had in my life. Its so strong that my eyes start to water just being near it. Ive tried red bull and honestly feel WoS extra menthol is stronger. Red Bull seems to develop in the nose, whereas WoS extra menthol throws an iceberg on your head; hurts, but the pain fades eventually.

i dont find the 6 photo very strong but its a different kind of cooling effect less “piney” than the western ones its more of a neutral cooling without a lot of menthol camphor mint eucalyptus or pine oil smell

@Rogue I’m thinking WoS Extra menthol has been renamed, do you know what it is?

s.menthol maybe i got that one? but the thing is menthol is capped by law to 40/50 menthol mg/g and 20 mg camphor mg/g
which is not all that high (most of german medicated cap that)

My last menthol surprise was WoS Singleton’s Super Cool. It’s worth separate review (pending).
Meanwhile I’ll only tell you Sharrow guys were definitely kidding when they rated it 2 (out of 5) in their menthol scale.

@baconpete it’s called extra cool now.
