I just got two 500 g tins of dark, and immediately picked up a very subtle mintyness as well, and immediately did a double take at the label to make sure they had sent me the correct product. it was fresh out of the can, so i chalked it up to needing to air a bit, but then saw this post. I hope this snuff hasn’t changed, because its my all day staple along with Viking Brown.
Uwe i haven’t had Silky Dark, but thanks for the recommendation. I’ll have to order some and see if it scratches that same itch. Nothing goes better with morning coffee or evening stout than a pinch of pure, smokey, dark tobacco.
