Is this a Janta snuff? I really like the Punjabi with the mustachioed dude in a turban on the label. It’s becoming my favorite Indian snuff. I didn’t know that Punjabi is a particular type of snuff, but it is! And it’s very inexpensive too. Like three bucks for a big 40 gram tin.

@mrmanos, yes, it’s Janta Dragon Brand Madras. If you like this genre, the Dragon won’t disappoint you. Really strong and tasty, with a slight sourish note, which reminds the very first batch of Dholakia Madras Toast, only way stronger, both in taste and nicotine.

Dragon Madras is probably the strongest nasal snuff on the market.

@volunge I agree, its the strongest! The aroma reminds me of Toque Quit but with way higher nicotine levels. Tears with every big pinch !

Closest Dragon’s rival is SVS Madras, but you can buy it only in India and probably some Indian groceries in London (Wembley, namely; as was mentioned by @London_Jack in this thread ten years ago: https://snuffhouse.com/discussion/2266/indian-snuffs/p4 ; worth searching in Southall shops, too).

@volunge Is Dragon toasted like MG Madras? Turns out I am not a big fan of such.

Yes, it’s toasted, but less. And I don’t get much of ghee from Dragon. It’s different from the rest I tried (NC, Umbrella, NB, DS, SVS, MG). Dragon feels drier than MG and has sour note, similar to Dholakia’s Madras Toast. It’s tasty plain snuff, not overtoasted.

Maybe it’s my imagination but I got some rustica notes in Dragon Madras…anyone else?

p.s. scentwise

@tobaccobob, a spot-on note, rustica is sour. I recall @newbiesnuffer mentioning sour notes in MG Madras, too (suspecting it turned stale). Now MGM label lists “Sun cured country tobacco” among the ingredients. I suppose “country tobacco” stands for N. rustica. It’s the exact meaning of latin word rustica (= rural). In many languages the name of N. rustica is “rural/country/peasant tobacco”.

I don’t detect sourness in MGM, but it can be explained by deep-toasting, which alters the organoleptic properties of the leaf itself. Dragon is less toasted (at least to my nose), and I was pleasantly surprised by the sourness, which I dig. I felt it in the first batch of Dholakia Madras Toast, too. At the end of the day, it wouldn’t be too surprising to find out that all Madras snuffs are made of rustica.

@indiansnuffjnf, could you disclose which Nicotiana plant do you use for your Dragon? N. tabacum or N. rustica?

@volunge - just to confirm, I got sour notes in NB Madras from a tin which I had procured couple of years back. I did not detect any sourness from it when I had first procured it - perhaps it was the ghee that got rancid over time? Until now my batch of MG Madras is quite toasty, thankfully.

I have a question about these madras snuffs.  Are they light colored (tan) like English toasts?  I’ve searched all the threads but no answers or photos regarding color came up

Cheers
