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

@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.

@Rogue, @baconpete from now on it’s Extra M. https://sharrowmills.com/product/sharrow-snuff-extra-cool
On Sharrow menthol scale Extra M is 3, Super M and WoS Dr. Rumney’s Green are 4, Dynamite is 5. Crumbs of Comfort and M Plus both are 1 and M is 2. Visit WoS website for more info on nicotine and moisture.

Are there any really strong mentholated snuffs that don’t give you that stuffed nose “rebound effect” thing a member here has talked about? I mean I love medicated snuffs, but I’ve only found McChrystal’s O&G to be powerful yet not overwhelming to my nose. As far as what’s the most craziest, I’d say 6p Medicated 666, but two or three hits of that and my nose just taps out.

Also WoS SM500 was unimpressive. You’d think something with numbers in their name would be impressive, such as indy 500 or super soaker 3000, but it wasn’t much. Also Arnold Andre’s Kensington is good but for some reason it’s too clogging.

menthols plugged me up at first but i feel like my nose just got used to medicated snuffs. i dont think rebounding is a real thing. i can use strong menthols all day and my nose stays clear. 

poschl radford belongs somewhere on this list too. its pretty good and strong on menthol. i cant use it because the essential oils makes my nose raw. i had a similar effect with peppermint oil

Really? The first time I got my hands on a good variety of medicated snuffs, I thought my head was gonna blow up from the sinus headache. I was told it was a rebound effect so I went with that. I still haven’t found a GOOD powerful medicated snuff with a decent nicotine kick, but Hedges was definitely mentioned so I will try that. @peacock how can you tell which ones use essential oils as opposed to whatever else?

@DrOctagon If that could serve as a kind of vague guideline, McChrystal’s is rated 3 in aforementioned WoS menthol scale. These ratings might be of some use, if based on actual amount of added menthol.
Just a guess - other ingredients (camhor, eucalyptus or anise oils) may cause/strengthen rebound, too.
