@volunge That looks like a great snuff ! Yeah Guantanamera are a little light on nicotine.
I found they make beautiful smelling dry fine grind plain snuff though (with the addition of a very low percentage of alkalized water like two or three drops like the moisture in a toast).
Yes that Cuban aroma of dried flour is divine.
All Cubans have that aroma profile which is the best tobacco aroma in my opinion.
Other cigars (non cubans) are very barnyardy and earthy too.
Toscanos are a different story. Cigars from fire cured burley aka cigars from pipe tobacco, but it is so good especially in a dry fine form or in a coarse dry form with a lot of paraffin oil to moisturize it. I found that water spoils the smokiness of this snuff but maybe that was just my unlucky observations.
Anyway keep this beautiful looking coarse snuff closed and maybe the aromas will unfold with time, something i personally witnessed with those cigars snuffs. At first when i add the water content they smell like nothing and after some days or even weeks they got that first dry flour divine aroma they used to prior the alkalization. I hope it will evolve in a good enjoyable snuff.
But yes JLP are stronger and Partagas are famous for being strong cigars.
On another note, I found another good cigarillo for snuff making which is widely available in most Europe. A Swiss or German company cigar called Villiger. They are widely available in almost everywhere that sells cigarettes, you can buy one for like a little over 1 euro.
They are not the best to smoke but not the worst and still for someone who can appreciate tobacco they give a very decent full body 25 minute smoke for when you dont want to burn something good, like for when gardening.
I am talking about Villiger Exports Classics (the yellow pack - there are some other packs brazil and maduro but not available in my country) and Villiger Premium No7 Sumatra (or No3 its the same but in different size).
Villiger Exports gives a very nice cigar aroma snuff and decent in nicotine.
Villiger No7 Sumatra gives also a very nice cigar aroma snuff with a kinda flowery edge speaking in cigar terms (not actual flower aroma) and decent in nicotine too. (definitely stronger than Guantanamera, I called them a solid medium- medium to high nicotine hit).
They both have a peppery cigar aroma, very bold and very classic cigarish tobacco.
They are almost the same with mild differences. I think they both contain around 15% Cuban seed tobacco and 85% North American tobaccos in a Sumatra wrapper. As a binder they have that crappy fake tobacco pressed paper but just leave that outside of milling and the outcome is a really bold cigarish peppery tobacco snuff.
I have made only fine grind with them and end up mixing them together because they were very close in aromas (not the same though). I have to experiment with a coarser grind too.
Also the flour seemed decent in nicotine and in this batch I added only water with sea-salt to make it more nose friendly and no alkalizers and I still find the nicotine hit decent. I imagine if properly alkalized it would maybe result in a clearly strong snuff.
